Draik, you are officially my new friend.

but the 7 minutes added on for them...that you have no thoughts on?

last time a team got that you wouldnt shut up about it...

also, the game is done, its almost impossible for the FA to have it replayed, Sunderland would probably be furious and so far as im aware Liverpool havent made a complaint (it was there fan's baloon afterall, lol)

@draik - lol, Terry wasnt a happy bunny then!

funny, didnt seem to be many stoppages on the highlights I saw...youre telling me that 7 minutes was okay with Sunderland? there fans booed when it was announced...

why would they replay it though? like I said Liverpool didnt file a complaint and the referee allowed the goal

I just dont see it hapening, nor do I think they should replay the game because of it, only thing FA should do imo, is issue a clarification on the law regarding objects on the pitch

okay, but youre not saying they should have had a drop ball (if you were, I would agree with you, they should have done so)

youre saying the FA should retrospectively go back and replay a game because of 1 incident, thats a whole different argument, if the FA do that for this contrevertial goal, surely they have to do so for EVERY contreversial goal (impartiality, et al), or it just wont be fair/workable, Sunderland would almost certainly take action against the FA if they do so, as they won the game and any replay would be harder for them (they have a smaller squad and Liverpool will probably have there 2 best players back), not to mention that any team that lost or drew due to a contrevertial goal will demand the FA call a replay for there games too, it would be a logistical nightmare.

The goal shouldn't have stood, but as soon as the referee gives the goal it can't be debated. I think it should have resulted in a drop ball restart, but I'm certainly not going to call for a replay, the referees word is final, even if it is wrong.

I mean if we replayed every match where the referee made an incorrect decision and it stood, regardless of magnitude, then we would pretty much have to replay every match ever played.

you just ignored the fact that 7 minutes injury time benefited Liverpool (they still failed to score) and you had no issue with it, but when United get 7 minutes, suddenly youre furious, pathetic double standards, proving the point I made, big teams get extra time from referee's right or wrong it happens, to complain about it for United but not for Liverpool makes you a hypocrite does it not?

er, both are breaches of the rules that the referee/linesman didnt see or ignored

suddenly you dont like the rules of the game then, the rules say that it is a "minimum" amount of time

I agree Fergie shouldnt have ranted at the 4th official, and as I understood it the FA is considering action against him, which is fair, he will probably get a touchline ban, in fairness to Ferguson, he did apologise afterwards, which is more than most managers do in such situations.

Ok, if we replayed a football match every time the referee had ignored a rule, even by mistake like in most cases like this, then we would be replaying half the games.

then punish the ref for not knowing how to do his job, by no means does that mean the game should be replayed

a goal that is shown that it should have been disalowed after the goal is given is still a goal in every other case, why should it be different because one ref didnt know one rule?

point were missing here, if this had been a goal against United, you wouldnt care, but because it was against one of there rivals your furious.
