Reading twitter does anyone else get the impression Joey Barton is pleased with his lot gettin hammered without him?

I know Hughes wants to get rid of Barton, but do you reckon he literally has no chance of getting back on the squad after his ban?
Hmm...that's tough man. I'm ready to join the protest in solidarity. Such a shame...I hope it goes badly and then gets better then?
After the prodigal Tevez anything is possible.

Both penalties given against Liverpool were ridiculous. Poor decisions, especially the second one where Long actually ran into Skretel

Depends on how they're doing really, if they're doing badly I can see him getting back into the squad. If Hughes can avoid it though if they're playing well then there's just no need for him.

Being kicked in the back of the calf (whether by mistake or not) does not equate running into someone.
I think the first probably was...long could have stayed on his feet. But you know how it is. The second was strange, Long got clipped in incidental contact as Skertel played the ball. If that's outside the box it's nothing...
Thing is, Tevez is actually a very good footballer. Barton is just a thug and below average.

Barton shouldnt be criticising their keeper on twitter though the tit
Edit - its hard to see hoilett in a QPR shirt, awful tracking back though

He ran into him. Skretel didn't even see him, Long came from his blindside. As Skretel was about to pass the ball, Long stretched out his leg at that moment - the two collided and Long's balance was affected. I can't for the life of me see how that is considered a foul on the defenders part. I've seen incidents like that actually where Skretel would have been deemed the one fouled.
The first penalty, the subtle push, happened outside the box. Liverpool very unlucky today

New keeper as well, why can't he just keep his mouth shut?
Is that a trick question?

Does anyone know where the photo gallery for todays matches are on the BBC site?
Skrtel dawdled on the ball, Long came round him won the ball and took it away form Skrtel, who then kicked his calf without knowing he was there. It's a foul if ever I saw one. Skrtel paid the price for his lack of awareness. Long actually pinches the ball of Skrtel before he was fouled.

Marseilles it is.
Yup. He certainly did not run into him in any way.

I have had a few bottles of wine. Fulham scored some good goals.

Wow GAF finally working for me but then it seems that was probably for the best during today's football events.
Watched the game on the usual streaming site and we should of had WBA on the ropes by half time but an all too familiar stench was slowly creeping in and then the forgotten man Gera pops up with a screamer - SURPRISE.
As for the penalties? The first was the correct decision and nobody can have anything to complain about but the second is a bit weak considering there is such little contact on Long and for me he's conned the ref but either way Skrtel should of been more aware.
The result today has definitely brought a few people back down to earth regarding the season ahead but I recall the likes of Spurs and Arsenal getting bad losses at the start of last season and still recovering - Hopefully we can do the same but it's not like the next few games are going to be easy.

Agger might have been outside the box. But the West Brom player was inside before (while Agger still had his arm in his back) before he fell.
I agree that the second was harsh, but Long certainly didn't just run into Skretel as Meus said.
If that was against my team I would be going thermonuclear.

I was talking about the second incident though
An author, City fan and football historian called Gary James has wrote a book on City and it's emerged that City made a bid for Messi!

Which is why I said
"I agree that the second was harsh, but Long certainly didn't just run into Skretel as Meus said" after having already posted a gif of it in a previous post.
Wow... Then again, wouldn't be surprised if Messi says that he wants to leave, that City would make a crazy 80 million plus bid for him.
Oh and another thing I forgot to mention - I know the majority of people dislike Suarez on here but Jonas Olsson giving him the old forearm smash and not even getting booked was an absolute joke.
Nobody can say WBA didn't deserve their result today nor can anyone blame the ref but fuck me is Phil Dowd incompetent.

I remember the owner once talking about launching a £130m for C.Ronaldo. Fergie laughed it off, but if they were willing to buy Kaka for £100m, then why didn't they make a serious bid for either Ronaldo or Messi?
The source gives more context to that. It was on like day one of the take over when they wanted a land mark signing.

So were a lot of your players. Liverpool would do better to look inwards than out for reasons for their failure.
Ahh the joys of low quality football banter are back! How I have missed thee!
Let me guess you have missed Liverpool's low quality performances?
olsson is an idiot
should've smashed him with a bat instead. forearm barely does any damage

Aye, fair enough, that's a penalty. I'm more annoyed with Gerrard for giving it away sloppily up the field. He had a stinker today.
The Skrtel penalty requires a bit of common sense from the ref though, if a player runs into another player's foot whilst he's making a pass then that surely can't be a penalty. There's contact, so I understand why some maintain it's a penalty, but for me it's like giving a blatant ball to hand. What's the point when there wasn't an intended tackle or interception, it's not about protecting players in the box, because Long just jumped in the way of Skrtel's passing foot.
Regardless, following the sending off we were getting banged, so I doubt we'd have got anything from the game anyway.
Yes, it was ridiculous. A stonewall, blatant yellow. He just moved away from the ball and into Suarez.
And that leniency exasperates Dowd's impatient refereeing at the other end.
Did anyone attempt to buy Balotelli during the summer?

The thing with Balotelli is that he's likely to do something like that on any given day and not give a damn
