[Ubietz]

no, i don't believe that, only a desperate team would do it ,so be it

a team with Paolo Di Canio in it wouldn't have done it

To be technical it's a Roman salute.

Did you punch the air and scream "I win at the internet" when you submitted that post?

Surprise, surprise, the blundering Atwell has been left without a game this weekend.

He should be consigned to League 2 until he learns how to do the job.

I'm not blaming Torres, more the referee

Referee blew is whistles, player kicks the ball so the ball is in play... what can the referee do?

[Flowers]

Every time a player moves a ball it's deemed to have been taken from now on. If they pick it up to roll it back then it's handball.

If he'd had picked it up before he kicked the ball would still have been dead.

demand that the kick be taken from where the infringement occurred
use common sense
actually watch the play for a change

[Flowers]

Linesman also deemed that the free kick had been taken.

failed troll. sad guy. don't you have anything better to do?

lol, you have a very poor understanding of what trolling is
just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they're trolling
in all likliehood, it means you're wrong

but you clearly just try and bait people into an argument to get satisfaction out of it even though you are always wrong

not everyone's out to get you you know?
go see a doctor

[Hawkesy]

according to the laws, the ref got it spot on.

However, every player on the pitch knew that the free kick had not been taken.

Except Torres and maybe Kuyt. Otherwise why did they chase the ball? Defender basically stuffed up really.

Then why does torres look back at the ref before he passes. He's looking to see if he has gotten away with it.

[The Kop]

so the consensus on FB is Turner was 100% faultless and it's ok to take free kicks 25 yards behind where the infringement took place?
killa re!

old potato head might be blaming the referee in public but behind closed doors i bet he stripped the paint off the wall giving a turner a rowdydressing down.....

[Nice One Cyril]

It's funny how, every commentator, every ex-player, every ex-referee, every journalist, EXCEPT those that support Liverpool, knows it was unsporting. Within the rules since the ref had apparently waved play on (he didn't blow his whistle) but outside the spirit of the game. A telling sign is that Atwell, whilst publicly backed by the refs association, has been dumped from this week's games.

Why would any defender backheel a pass then walk away with his back to it?

A sign of the desperation at Anfield. These things have a way of coming back to haunt you.

This was the beach ball thing coming back to haunt Sunderland.

You care way too much about this btw.

blah blah blah.....the only desperation I see is your ongoing complex with this issue.
Surely you're not worried that the worst Liverpool in decades might be a threat your pretenders dressed in white?

I agree it's unsporting, and I don't give two fucks, sup beachball karma, just a shame it only cost them 2 pts

Common to take a quick look at the ref when its noisy. Then, the old adage took place when "play the whistle", he did, and goal was scored.
Lesson to be learned - if you arent going to take a free kick or intend to - dont kick it!!
As you said, the ref was spot on.
Beach ball karma - time to move on.

who was taking the free kick 25 yards behind where the infringement took place?

[The Kop]

If Turner has his way, that's where the ball would have ended up.
The foul was just (<5 yards) outside the centre circle. He rolled the ball back approx 25 yards behind the actual infringement.

Maybe he thought there was an offside call behind him? Maybe he thought the foul had been called further back despite no phase of play happening there?
Either way, it was a silly error and misjudgement on his behalf.

You're "take it where the foul was and all ok" theory does not hold.

[Stewie Griffin]

can someone post a link to the incident please?

your

are you suggesting that Mingolet had to take the free kick where he was standing when Turner rolled it to him?
many players like to place the ball themselves for a free kick
the FA has proved that they thought Atwell was not up to scratch by not giving him a game to ref this week... not even a league 2 game
typical deluded Liverpool fan
enjoy the bottom half of the table
