I don't know what you were watching, but the exchange between the two didn't really make sense. Torres didn't take a dive there (one of the only times he didn't on the day) He collided then Huddlestone stood over him and said something to him.
I agree with what most people are saying here about it. Spurs definitely deserved the win. Keane should have potted at least one. Reina played really well for us to keep us in it, but we were outplayed for 3/4 of the game.
The non penalty at the end was wrong though. It definitely wasn't incidental contact. He ran directly at him, making no attempt to play the ball, just to knock him down.Definite penalty. Even the Anti-liverpool announcers agreed which is huge
The handball was the right non call..
Rafa is Rafa and love him or hate him you knew when Liverpool couldn't tie it, he would be fuming about the non call. That's the way he is
I don't understand how guys like United can make comments about Rafa given their manager. Wasn't it him that was just complaining about the refs two weeks ago in the Community Shield and the non call on Ballack? Both are the same way. They admit when the other side is better, but do criticize if they don't get their own way.
As for Torres, I 100% agree he goes to ground way to easilty (see my post in teh Liverpool thread). It's really frustrating as a Reds fan to see this all the time
