Premier League 2009-10

What are the rules about something like that beach ball incident? If it had been thrown by a Sunderland supporter, would the goal have been disallowed? I see some logic in that since a Liverpool fan threw it, if they want to kill their own club, fine.

In my way of thinking though, any obstruction wrongly introduced to the field of play resulting in a goal, the goal should be disallowed. Pete

I'm a United fan so not sorry to see Liverpool lose,obviously,but no way that goal should have been allowed.That beach ball was an obstruction interfering with play.
That said,Liverpool were awful and deserved nothing from the game.Thats 4 defeats for them in 9 matches now.No way are they title challengers with that squad.
And another big bonus with Chelsea losing to Villa desite a Brad Friedel howler giving them the lead.Two defeats out of the last three for Chelsea.
Ancellotti,shades of Scolari maybe ?
United on top without playing that well but looking over our shoulder at our main title challengers this year.....Arsenal & Manchester City !

If you had asked at this time yesterday, I'd have agreed with the referee, and allowed the goal. However, by all accounts on the UK news today. the goal should have been disallowed, and the game re-started with a dropped ball on the edge of the penalty area.

You shouldn't expect four professional officials to know something as trivial as the rules though.

starting the game with babel AND then bringing on voronin

Let's just get on with the season now as it's panning out very nicely

These things happen, don't lose sleep over it. Sometimes you score and the ref don't see it, sometimes you don't score and the ref gives it and sometimes other things happen and no one see's it.

Clearly God is not a Scouser. Come on Baa Baa lighten up, it was very funny, you would have agreed if it were any other club. It was highlighted last season, without Gerrard and Torres Liverpool are very ordinary, and as for buying a player (Aquilla?) who was unable to play for a long time, you have to question management decisions.

Stop having a pop, I feel totally deflated.

I saw that spoof on YouTube yesterday after they had censored the real culprit. Who is the spoof culprit please?

Owner of the worst facial hair in existence, son of Neville Neville and all round nobhead, Gary Neville.

That's who I thought it was - what's the connection please?

[BaaBaa.]

He hates Liverpool?

[Big Boy]

I thought it was something more devious than that.

Mind you, it would have been hell of a move, placing the Beachball in just the right place at the right moment to deflect the ball like that. Must have taken months of rehearsal on the training pitch - it just deserved to work

Candidate for goal of the season I think.

Manure fans will be welcoming Liverpool on to the pitch to the chant of 99 red balloons on Saturday
