One of the funniest games of the season. If Blackburn had stopped trying to tip-tap through 3 CBs for half an hour and tried to whip balls in from wide areas they would surely have scored a third.
First penalty from the Yak was one of the worst I've ever seen in the Premier League.

Possible, but not likely...

So glad I didn't go by the way
Jonjo has been great the last few games.
Great game of footy. Felt like a cup tie. Gutted I didn't go now!

Congrats Liverpool. I think they deserved the win in the end. That was a ridiculously exciting game for the neutral!
Same. Got offered a ticket in the Blackburn end by my step dad's friend, but my back's completely fucked. Can barely lie on the sofa without wincing, let alone sat on a plastic seat for two hours.

Good game and credit to Liverpool for pressing for the 3 points. Thought they were minded to bottle it at one point.

Wonder if anyone will look into Skrtel on Henley towards the end. Another off the ball punch?
Gareth Bale

What minute was this?
Why? There's nothing to it. He merely pushed him as they got up.
Right at the end just before Carroll scored.

On a serious note, Abidal is still in the operating theatre having a liver transplant.
Best of luck to him.
Best of luck to him.
Just nice to get a late winner that will no doubt boost the lads before Saturday and also it's about time we showed a bit of character.
That wasn't a punch he just pushed him as they got up, if it was a punch from Skrtel he'd still be on the ground

They're on the floor during Carroll's goal. Pushes up once and then right hand seems to punch out when Skrtel stands over Henley.
Good luck to him. Hope everything goes well!
I don't think he really punches him he just shoves him, stopping him from getting up. They had a decent claim for a foul, no doubt.

Dc do we have any grounds for a morale victory tonight?
True. When we went 2-2 I thought there's no way we'd get anything from the game, given our lack of bottle lately. Good to see everyone still fighting, feels odd to score so late. Was the last time we won a game that late Bolton last season? I remember nearly jizzing myself when Cole bundled it in.
EDIT: I'm forgetting United in the Cup. Wasn't as late but it had the same effect.
Welcome to months ago.

Yeah I just saw it. He lifted his leg up, pushed him and then did one of those fake punch things. It wasn't a proper swing or anything. Hanley fell on top of him but I'm not sure there was anything he could do about that. Skrtel's reaction was disappointing, but I don't think anything will come of it.
We deserved that I reckon. I would say that, but we kept attacking for most of the game even with 10 men. The first penalty was definite, and even though Doni didn't intentionally bring him down (he just couldn't get out of the way), it was a sending off.
The second penalty was a joke. Jones flapped at it and should have done much better, but Yakubu ran into him and then fell over. For a big man it doesn't take much to knock him over.
Delighted for Carroll, he's been working hard lately even if he hasn't been scoring, and he deserved that goal. Hopefully it will give him a bit of confidence now (although I said that last time).

Didn't take much to knock Bellamy over either. Awful dive.
Anyway, I think you deserved it. Dalglish made the right changes and you looked dangerous on the break.

Football. Its a funny old game, isn't it?
Was a pretty appalling dive, I agree.
I'm impressed with Mascherano, Pep has converted him in a world class defender IMO. it helps that he still possess some of that midfielder mentality which helps a lot with his distribution from the back. dude is a beast, he has this innate talent of anticipating opponent to win the ball back that no one else in the team has, only Puyol comes close.
want gif of him saving the ball from going out of bounds. sunhi? :bow

What has he said now? It really doesn't. I really dislike him, can't wait untill he gets sacked.

Kenny's reactions to Post-Game interviews is a joke, but the guy doing them is an utterbell and the questions are so baiting.
Jeff Albertson

No it's fucking not
He tried to leave half way through and then uninvited the transfer gimp to Liverpool's press conference on Thursday.
Looked to me like Bellamy was diving to avoid injury.
Both teams were bad. Liverpool better hope Everton aren't firing on all cylinders come Wembley...
do we have to wayne rooney
Ah, the Bale defense.

Let's talk about something else now nobody wants to discuss that game anymore
Gareth Bale
Member
He said he didn't want to talk about any questions on the decisions made during the game, answered one question by saying he didn't see why he has to explain himself, at one point he walked in front of the camera and looked like he was leaving or possibly going to shake someone's hand, but he went back, then said there's a press conference on Thursday morning "if you're invited Andy" to answer questions on Saturday's game.
Because we're going to be playing 10 reserves against Everton? We were terrible tonight, there's no discussion there. I just don't see how it's any indication of the game on Saturday.
Did you find your keys and phone?
I hate it when I'm in that situation.
