He was the most influential figure in the game in terms of the result. We have benefitted from refereeing decisions in games and I do believe these things even themselves out. I can forgive him the blatant handball at the end, maybe he could nt see it. I also thought Dzeko had a good penalty shout. What I can't forgive is Suarez. When you put all these things together you realise he decided the game. I know we started slow but we made up for that. It's ok to have a game of two halves. It's not ok to have a result taken away from you and you wonder if the game was decided before it began.

The failure to send off Suarez was a complete bottle job; clear second yellow. Dzeko also should have had a penalty. The ref and his assistants cost us the game. That plus a fucking awful start cause by a poor team selection, Hart's idiotic rush off the line for the first, Clichy's pathetic non tackle for the first goal and missed header for the third, Vinny's poor positioning for the first and panicky shank for the third. Alright it wasn't just the ref!

Yeah, he had a cracking game and none of the above matters because we played poor for a half hour blah blah blah.
Answer me this : even taking the three penalties and minute less injury time out of the equation... how do you think the match would have gone if he had acted with integrity and sent suarez off for a blatant incident that happened right in front of him?
Should be pretty easy to answer...

Not sure it's the right answer though.
Probably he should have sent Suarez off, probably he should have given a penalty against Vinnie.
Overall I thought he was ok and if anyone thinks we lost because of him then all I can say is you like the easy way out.
I've even heard some people over the last 36 hours say that if he had sent Suarez off "we would have won". Clairvoyants all.
We were two nil down at the time and actually I think the injustice of it acted as a spur to us to get back in the game.
We lost because Liverpool played really well in the first half; we played really well after that but we made a mistake and got punished for it.
We had enough chances to win but on the day didn't take them.
Credit to Liverpool for the way they played and good luck to them if they can make it 14 games on the bounce.
Of course, it's always easier to blame the ref.........
