Blackburn 1-3 Liverpool
By: Jim | April 16th, 2008
Sorry about the delay, I hope you can understand when the world just picks up on ya. Anyway, the game.
To be perfectly honest, the first half was wonderful. Chances taken form both sides, fluent play up and down the pitch, tackles and the random good duration of possession with both sides having their moments of looking poised to score. A few qualms and points to make:
•Based on the very simple and not at all confusing offside rule, Roberts was clearly onside for that goal, and it would have been an entirely different game had that flag not gone up inaccurately.
•The Skrtel challenge on Roberts, truly in my heart of hearts was a red. The only argument anyone would offer me is that the LB would have caught him, and my answer to that is, never in a million years, He was about 30 yards off the play. Clearly a red.
•Our defense was crazy. There were absolute moments of calmness and brilliances, but the moments of madness directly led to the three goals; in essence, we handed them the points.
•Rocky is a beast. The man received very poor service all game and still managed to get one in (thank you for those fantasy points by the way). Clearly the best PL buy, pound for pound, of the season.
For more detailed feelings, read the play by play below. As for this weekend, we’ll have the pleasure (gag) of playing ManUre at home. I will be watching this live on FSC with my Untied supporting friend, so if I liveblog, expect cursing, hatred and disdain for human kind if Untied get a lead. Until then though, Up the Rovers.
Highlights: Sorry for whatever language they’re in.

I agree about the skrtel tackle, but also think there should have been a penalty on Samba

I don’t know about that, then again, I can;t fault you for saying so. Penalties today have become so oddly given and so confusingly not given that any call inside the box doesn;t surprise me anymore.
