The other factor we're missing here on the analysis difference is Costa is a big, bad, Brazilian gaucho (whatever that word means, I just love it's tastyness) and Stevie Me is an honest, hard working, peoples favourite type of Englishman, Although saying that they didn't treat Chelsea's English player JT with the same kid gloves they treat Stevie Me so maybe the conspiracy theorist's have a point.

Somebody should juxtapose the reaction on Sky after Costa's "stamp" to the one today.

 

That would make funny viewing, or tragic viewing, take your pick.

 

Absolutely embarrassing analysis from Carjacker and Henry, yes they said it was a red, they could hardly have said anything else, but the lengths they went to make excuses for him was cringeworthy.

SKRTEL - NOT THAT TYPE OF PLAYER SAYS BRENDAN RODGERS

 

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers watched the incident back after he spoke to reporters but defended his player. He told Sky Sports, 'The ball was played through but it probably looks worse in slow motion. It looks like he is trying to get a nick on the ball, to get a toe on it the ball went into the goalkeeper's hands.

 

'Martin is not that type of player, he was just a fraction out.'

:laugh2: this confirms it he's full of sh*t.

Want to puke in my mouth . See Gerrard intentionally stamp on someone and get to hear the pundits "tsk tsk " him like a cute naughty boy who took a cookie before dinner but brought another to share.

After about 10 seconds of that's naughty they start heaping him with praise "oh, not many players would come out and accept responsibility like that" "oh it was a moment of madness but he's shown great integrity" " oh it just shows what a great captain he has been, taking full responsibility of the issue" etcetera f**king etcetra.

For a moment I thought we were talking about some rookie mistake by a naive youth, not an intentional stamp on someone's legs by someone who has been playing the highest levels of football by 2 decades.

Careful criticising that defence. 

 

Skrtel needs to get a retrospective ban though.

The United players took a selfie in the dressing room after their game today much like how Arsenal did when they beat us 0-2 at our ground earlier on in the season, I anxiously await the 'It's an absolute joke how those players celebrated that victory' comments from Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.

Not as bad as the one Fernandinho took with all your fans at the game yesterday

Rather than "Gerrard Crimes", the Daily Mail are running with "misguided desire". Not even a joke.

You've got to be kidding me...

Unbelievable, the difference in reporting is appalling and laughable. I have expect the majority to follow their lead too.

I've just seen qpha ha ha lost again, so long you Muppets

Can't wait for the media and football pundits to rip into Gerrard, Skrtel and Liverpool for their behaviour today like they did against us...............wait, what am i talking about ? Liverpool are media darlings, the criticism they get will be nothing like what we get.

It is f**king disgusting. Rodgers is praising him for apologising, Carragher is saying he was frustrated and there's more justifying/excusing his stamp too. It's just a f**king pathetic joke, it was far worse than Costa's and cost Liverpool any chance of getting back into the game. f**k me, the sooner that self loving twat f**ks off to America the better, the hypocrisy is embarrassing, nauseating and f**king shameful.

I can't wait for the day Gerrard pulls something like this in the MLS only to find the pro LFC brigade have little to no influence over there. He is the picture perfect example of how biases determine your reputation. If he wore CFC Blue, he'd be even more despised than Terry.

It shouldn't wind me up, it's been that way with Gerrard for years but it's just sickening how he gets treated. And why? I mean... Why? He's no national treasure, he beats up DJs, kisses the camera, stamps, slips, dives, whines and has the odd Hollywood ball in him. He's a fecking useless twat and it's no surprise Liverpool have been on fantastic form without him.

Just wish ONE journo will call him up on what it was - petulant, inexcusable and dirty. But no, it's cool coz he's Stevie G and he was frustrated at not starting. f**k. Me.

So obvious isn't it, imagine if that was Costa.

Blue Daze, How can that be a selfie????????????? He clearly wasn't taking the photo himself so therefore it doesn't qualify as a selfie, Come on man and the other thing there's no fans of ours with him, So how could Fernandinho have taken that photo with our fans if our fans weren't there? I'm confused.

I'm going to get called an apologist for this but here goes.

 

You're comparing a Sky headline with a Martin Samuel match report.

 

Here is Martin Samuel's match report for the Chelsea-Liverpool cup tie.

Start with the decision that could have seen Costa dismissed. The ball went out and Liverpool defender Emre Can with it. Lying on the floor he attempted to delay Costa’s attempt to get it back into play. This was clearly mischievous but hardly the most despicable offence and certainly did not warrant what happened next. 

Costa, in attempting to clamber over him, stood on Can’s leg – in fact he made little attempt to avoid it – and then appeared to use it as a springboard. Whatever Can’s initial provocation, Costa could easily have been dismissed and his escalation provoked what the Americans call a bench clearer. Over came the Liverpool players to confront Costa – and Can appeared to recover quite quickly from writhing around once reinforcements arrived, too – up jumped the Chelsea coaching staff to defend their man.  

 

Coco :laugh2:

 

Oh I get it, Another empty seats joke, One of these days that's gonna get boring. :wink:

If only someone could find a lever way to take advantage of the name Etihad Stadium.... something about empty.....
