So you are saying that he almost split his shin is a great tackle. Sigh I wonder about individuals sometimes.

The guy is small and black [supposedly what "negrito" means].. So, no, not seriously.. It's called a joke, certainly made me laugh.
I think you need to learn how to take a joke.. Which is quite ironic really considering all the **** ones you spam us with day in day out. (;
****, I think I just missed the bandwagon. As a Liverpool fan I agree with Kenny, and I'm sure the majority do too, get over it.
[Refer to Lee's post as to why]
What a massive exaggeration. Have you ever even played football before? There is a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge difference between being studded [accidentally, during a great challenge] and having someone break your shin..

I didn't see the match last night, but I've seen the Suarez volley on Parker video, and spent about half an hour watching it, and tbh I think it's more reckless and clumsy than intentional. Definately a yellow but not a red.

That was the most idiotic statement I have heard from you.
I believe a great challenge is when you get the ball and not have to go through a player. That is football. If you have to get the player as well then that is reckless. Not that great at tackles. Jeez. You would have been up in arms if that was King on one of your players.

That's what I thought, although I didn't want to say it encase I get flamed for being biased. When I saw it I cringed, but I don't think Suarez did it on purpose... It was stupid and reckless but a red would have been a little harsh. I don't know.
Hm, agree on the "great challenge" thing.. But it was hardly a leg breaker. And no, I wouldn't be up in arms over a challenge like that, I thought it was fine, you're going to get a few stud marks when you play football..

I didnt see the game either, but I just watched the Suarez/Parker video. Imo, it was a complete accident. Suarez always has his eyes on the ball. Yellow yes, Red no.
I havent seen the Skrtel tackle, but it sounds like it was a strong tackle where he got the ball, then Bale?
There have been lots of red cards recently that have really annoyed me. Huth's red card came to mind. There are 6-7 more this season that I remembered that annoyed me. What has happened to football nowaday? Can you not make a tackle?

Think it would've been harsh to be honest. Think it was a severe case of over-eagerness on his behalf-after being out for 8 games any player would be desperate to make an impact and will at some point do something a bit rash. But I agree-red may have been too harsh
My point is that sort of challenge was acceptable in the 70's and 80's and would expect it a non proffesional level so yes I would expect it to happen on a Sunday league match. But by a proffesional in the PL I think we can agree that it was not a great tackle as Eliteg quoted.
I agree, maybe it wasn't a great tackle.. But it also definitely didn't nearly break his leg, as you said. (;
No mate I said split his shin but not going to quibble anymore.
wtf is a split shin? :S
Well no, but in slightly different circumstances it could well have. In this case his leg is in the air, so it wasn't quite as dangerous. If his leg had been planted, with weight on it...
A big cut which a stud can do. Come on keep up lol.
The Skrtel tackle last night it what makes the PL the best league in the world. Its what you want to see from your players, a full hearted 100% committed tackle. Yeah he caught Bales leg in the process but the ball was there to be won and Skrtel did exactly that! Lets hope Martin brings that desire and commitment to the United game this coming Saturday! YNWA!

Ah, racism, violence and cats. We do occasionally still talk about football at Anfield from time to time...
Anfield: Sponsored by 4chan.
The hypocrisy of some Liverpool fans (And their manager, while we're at it) never ceases to amaze me. Rodwell's tackle on Suarez was 'a bad challenge, dangerous, reckless and showing his studs', but Skrtel's tackle was 'full hearted, 100% commited, with a lot of desire'.
If they gave 3 points for each hypocritical statement then Liverpool would top the league with ease.

I can't believe for a second that Eliteg is being serious with his comments. He is trying to wind other supporters up, and it is clearly working.
I never made a comment on the Rodwell tackle.
