Whatever the minority on here want to say about naive defending (and i take the point) there seems to be a pretty big consensus of about 90% of the posts i've read here in the last half hour that we were ROBBED by dodgy refereeing. Now, these are mainly gut reactions; mine, which i copied again above, was initially posted on here without having read a single comment by anybody else. I think this points to the fact that many of us are very uncomfortable with the refereeing at the end of that game (and i'm saying this as nicely as i can now that i've calmed down a bit). Serious questions need to be asked now by good investigative journalists (because nobody will listen to partisan fans) about the level of corruption in the game, because you can bet your bottom dollar that if corruption is rampant in FIFA it has spread over here as well, and as others have said, the money men at the top have their darlings and, shall we say, like to 'look after them'. It looks as if the city of Liverpool isn't big enough for two such darlings, either. What's the point of a Club investing lots of money, and players and fans investing so much PASSION, when it counts for little in the face of corruption. I won't even suffix that last sentence with a question mark, because it's rhetorical. And i'm still FUMING.....
