2 goals that shouldn't have counted, and 2 handballs in the box by Barcelona. Pretty well a wash. That doesn't forgive the missed calls, but it's hardly the travesty that you make it out to be.

Because this thread has EVERYTHING to do with Liverpool. I hate that I had to type this, but I did. It's almost as if you have a grudge of some sort against the team, or their fans on this board. You brought this up in this thread, not any Liverpool fan.

Yes. This happens often, as mentioned. Even with your golden boy Mr. Webb. He is not perfect you know. Far from it in fact. However, it is worth pointing out that you don't get so pissed off about the officiating if it benefits your own team. Surely if officiating was so important to you, you would feel free to bring it up then as well. Think Dallas Stars fans for example, and the Brett Hull crease fiasco. I would hate to be in that situation as a fan of a team. It's almost as if you shamelessly pass it off when your team wins for the same reason...

I'll give you A and B, but in turn you have to concede the Barcelona hand balls in the box as well. You admit C is to a lesser extent. I don't think it was worthy of whistling.

As I said earlier, you don't get nearly as worked up when your own team benefits. I, on the other hand, fully admit that when the refereeing benefits my team I get considerably less worked up (but were it something very major in a pivotal game, I would say differently, because it would in some way cheapen or sully the win). Whereas you're claiming some sort of moral superiority on the topic of officiating, while at the end of the day, you're exactly the same as all of us; a passionate football fan. Most of us are just more honest about our bias.

Just can't stop talking about legendary Liverpool and their incredible fans. Why thank you!

I didn't realize that disagreeing with you meant I had a new team. Now that I understand Bagor's arbitrary rules, I shall abide by them.....oh wait, nevermind. They're only worthy for wiping my ass with, so I'll do that instead.
