Just because it 'always happens' because it was a 'stupid move' does not change the fact that it quite clearly was not a foul, there was almost no contact and Perch entirely bought the red card.

If the owners are going to spend big again in the summer I hope he does, I don't want him wasting all that money on shit again.
I believe we've only lost twice at home this season.

that was my favourite bit. Gerrard looked at Kenny with dismay :lol
Perch defo made the most of it and left a leg in to wind Reina up but it's always a red if a player goes towards another aggressively and makes contact.
Reina should have been smarter.

I'd say Liverpool, their demise has been far more entertaining and unsuspecting than Inter's.

I wonder if Enrique trains for a situation like this or if he's sitting back there thinking "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, please don't come to me"

In premier league maybe. Worldwide? Not even close.
The latter =P
It's purely negative cheering too. Only for fouls, and boos for the former players, even Carroll, who was forced out by your douche owners and didn't even want to leave Newcastle. It's embarrassing.

There may not have been much contact but you can't do that. Just like you can't swing at someone, regardless of whether you hit them or not, i.e. Scholes on Alonso.
Inter did something about that...they are (barely) winning right now too...
Sprinkle that on some fries for seasoning.
yeah its kind of ironic too

What's this about Milan's website photoshoping a picture to make it look like the ball passed the line? Any truth to it? Fool's day and all. Would be hilarious if true.
The fun thing is that there actually is a clear image of the ball passing the line, but who knows why they decided to go with that one:
I think that the shot and saving happened really too fast for the linesman (who got almost everything wrong in the second half) to see. It was different from that Muntari goal, which was more clear, imho.

Haha oh wow. I saw they were in front with 3 but 3-2 now? Could see them throwing it away.

Man what a crazy game. Good stuff.
People seem to be reacting as though Reina lent in and went for a headbutt, but that is clearly not what happened. He put his head down and prepared to 'clash heads' with perch, expecting a similar reaction. However, Perch collapsed as though he had been shot. Leaning your head forward and taking a step does not display any kind of attempt at harm, there was no foul there.

there was zero intent there, i dont know how you can suggest that.
Spot on. Unlike many other rules and regs, intent plays a massive part in how to interpret contact and attempted contact. A nasty slide tackle that misses but had all the intent in the world to take a player out can still warrant a yellow card, or worse.
Same story here. All intent.
I'll need something to tide me over this week while I weep in the dark in fetal position.
So, you persuaded to be a Liverpool fan yet?
Its understandable don't worry.

LET'S HUG AND KISS!
Seriously, I was expecting the win but it's dangerous to expect anything from Newcastle.
Such a great result for us.

I think Cisse is the blackest guy I've ever seen.
And a manager.
Yup, Liverpool had a couple of bad decisions go against them, but they were pretty awful.
