(sort of) Match report : Everton 2 - 3 Liverpool

Everton 2 - 3 Liverpool

Well that was about as annoying as it is feasible to be.. not only did we manage to blow a 2-0 lead about as quickly as we gained it in the first place, but the injury time random flapping about by the linesman made it pretty hideous.

It would have been a perfect end to the game (from my admittedly biased perspective). For Luis Suarez to complete his sort of hat-trick and win the derby at Goodison.. thus requiring a new statue outside the Kop, probably of him diving onto the floor in front of a quite angry David Moyes... well that would have been pretty special.

The grim reality of what actually happened was well a bit shit. Not only we did go jumping about the pub after witnessing a perfectly good goal.. but by this time there were more than a few Man Utd fans in for their game which didn't really help matters.

Quite how he could have given offside in that situation is beyond me. This is quite handily demonstrated by this picture, with the completely unnecessary red line along the actual line on the actual fucking pitch.

And if that wasn't bad enough we then had to watch the same game again more or less in the bunch of cunts derby.. Freakishly the same game in fact. The away team in red go 2-0 up, it gets pulled back to 2-2 to the home team in blue only for the linesman to fuck up the decision at the end. Only in that instance Man Utd get the points (seriously how much help do they need). Admittedly it was quite funny to see Torres face when he go sent off, but there is no way hwe should have got another booking.

After the curious decisions that Man Utd have had in their favour on their 'trickier' away trips I'm thinking of having a few quid on them for the Manchester derby at the start of December, possibly including the sending off of Kompany for being just a bit too Belgian.

Actually sending off the Belgians would have done us a few favours yesterday, but I'm reasonably confident that FIFA regulations don't have a specific Belgian rule as yet.

I think I've had enough ranting now.. this is probably due to me being quite hungry rather than any lack of bile rising in my stomach - maybe it's both, who can say.

I think though we can claim the moral victory yesterday.. in lieu of an actual 3 points kind of victory and with that celebration Luis Suarez has made us love him that little bit more and I suspect the opposite is true of our friends across Stanley Park.

Oh and Phil Neville got booked for diving instead.. now that was funny.
