Simply pointing out that they got a decent amount of assistance from the refs tonight in the form of two missed clear cut penalties and one probable red card and to highlight that ... yes calls go both ways and despite the constant whining we have to read here sometimes Liverpool are not always the victim.

Well if the bad calls were a wash, and the right team went through, then there shouldn't be any complaints. I'm not seeing any Liverpool supporters saying that Trent shouldn't have had that called, and even heard a few say that the late penalty was a makeup call for that.
As far as the Trent one, it does look obvious. However the officials all missed it, and so did all of the Roma players. In the moment, not in slow motion, it may have been way harder to notice. Judging by the lack of appeals on the part of Roma, that's probably the exact case.
