Good write-up in the Grauniad

[The Large One]

Brighton Hove Albion 1-2 Liverpool | Carling Cup third-round report | Football | The Guardian

In amongst the Liverpool whining in the comments, there's plenty of interesting things said by some neutrals.

Good article, thanks.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I believe one of our own is covering both the Leeds and Palace games for the Guardian.

Some of the comments are fairly balanced, but I seem to remember the penalty decision to be very clear, yet a couple of the Liverpool fans are calling it a blatent dive. Was I looking from a biased point of view?

I saw it from the North and 100% penalty - as was a hand ball a bit earlier but the ref would never have seen it nor would the linesman as it was right on the goal line and the ball was hidden

Considering one of those comments start with "I don't know who Vicente is...." I think we can disregard their opinion.

Looked a blatant pen from the WSL too even though Vicente made sure it was seen. Carragher didn't even question it, just had a go at Spearing for falling over.
