Soccer: [lfc] Sunday - was No Surprise Really

[lfc] Sunday - was No Surprise Really

Posted by soccer |

I saw the incident when it happened and not a load of replays....it was blatant! I have read on one of the forums though that some say Clattenberg wasn't even looking at it [a la Webb when he sent Gerrard off at old Trafford]....is that right, I'm guessing not from your comments?

As Andy say's we should nail one of theirs on Sunday and see what happens. Make it Skrtel. He shouldn't start so bring him on with minutes left with specific instructions to forearm on of them in the head.

Which brings up the topic....who is the ref for Sunday? I despair, I really do!!!
