Not half.
Also Rooney nibbled at Cole after the ball went and didnt get a second yellow.

So when did nibbling become a yellow card offense? If it is, then we're not going to have any players on the pitch at the end of a match. Should someone get a yellow everytime they 'nibble' at Ronaldo? The only reason Rooney's 'nibble' on Cole was talked about was because Chelsea were desperately trying to get someone else sent off, and so Cole dove like the baby he is. It was shoulder to shoulder physiacl play, nothing more.
Antred - no offense mate but how do you carry things with a chip that big?
No offense taken. i dont have a chip, i'd just rather see things done in a fair and proper manner as much as possible. Chelsea are no angels and have had their fair share of refs giving them the benefit no doubt especially against us - i could mention a few non penalties weve had against them over teh last few seasons, but the likes of you lot and Chelsea and to a much lesser degree us and Arsenal, dont need the helping hands nor should we.
Its hard to decipher how good you were yesterday owing to the bad decisions that went on.
Rooney is like a little raging bull, that runs around like a hot head after he doesnt get his way. He fouled Cole after the ball had gone a minute after picking up a booking because he got frustrated losing the ball, should be a yellow.
The reason Cole wasnt sent off was because they already had a man off in dubious circumstances, it was never a red for Mikel, in fact it was a good block tackle ball first, at worst if a referee is going to give it a freekick and nothing else. And whose to say Cole would have made that tackle if they hadnt been so unjustly treated in that match?
Missed the Cole penalty claim on Evra so cant comment, but Saha's dive was pethetic. A penalty maybe but surely a booking for theatrics? I thought we were cutting this out? Big games = crap decisions.
I saw you play Spurs a few weeks back and the poor sods where robbed. Theres no denying the fact that at OT you get a massive fair wack of ref loyalty. I mean yesterday He plays the extra time, Tevez scores, and it cuts to fergie with his watch to say time is up and the ref blows up on cue! Farcical.
Liverpool got decisions years ago? really? If they were and i cant remember many major ones - they wernt from diving. Was Ian Rush a diver? Was he hell. Was Daglish? Barnes? beardsley?Souness?
The game was different back then where players didnt roll 40 times after a tackle, or like Rooney yesterday writhe on the floor with agony after Cech punched the ball and never touched him!
Liverpool are no angels either currently, Sissokos started to dive and Voronin and Gerrard are prone to it too which does my head in along with our managers constant meddling.
But i can count on one hand the number of bias refs decisions we've had in the last 10 years - while ive lost count of yours, especially at OT.
Play the game properly or dont at all and they say serie a was dodgy.
