Re: Liverpool Thread
TBH i thought it deflected off Johnson's boot, i mean how can a beachball alter the path of a football, it's not like they're the same weight.
Well that's utter bollocks and you know it. Unless the ball was lighter than air of course it would affect the flight of the ball. If i through a 26gram 90% tungsten dart at the bullseye of a dartboard through a balloon, the friction of the balloon would cause it to change direction.
The trouble is, the ball weighs more than 26g and the ball it hit wasn't a beach ball, but a plastic ball which - although lighter than the Nike ball - is heavy enough to deflect it in a different direction, watch the fucking replays before trying to be a cunt.
The referee made a stupid mistake but at the end of the day we were awful today, Spearing was piss-poor and no "but he's the local lad" explanations will make up for it, even in the pub i was in there were fickle bellends having a go at Lucas whenever Spearing made a mistake to try to take the focus off him. When Voronin came on in fact they were shouting "ohh here we go, game over" etc. when their local lad, the true Liverpool player, was utter shit all game.
Babel was shit, Kuyt was shit, Benayoun was shit, Aurelio was shit, Lucas was shit, Skrtel was shit, Spearing was shit, Johnson was shit..........
Johnson for some reason was the slowest decision maker ever today, he'd get the ball and run into the box and then completely forget what he was doing and stand still ffs.
This is the most frustrating game i've watched since the game against Sunderland under Houllier when we had 25 shots on target but drew 0-0.
