>>>>>Even if it were truly accidental, he should have refrained from kissing his hand in the celebration, That was just crass>>>>>>
To be fair to the little cheat, he always kisses his wrist when he celebrates a goal, so I don't think that was done in any kind of tribute.

Bradford humble Aston Villa at the half-way stage of the Capital One Cup!!
90 minutes and a 2 goal cushion away from Wembley!
It would be great if they make it, unless you're a Villa fan

A fellow Brit who works for the same company as me, is a Villa fan. He says after this performance, they are a disgrace to the Midlands.
He’s not far wrong.

I've just seen the winning goal by Suarez on the news and that was dodgy! Looks like loads more bad press for our little saviour 
Suarez will be getting a call from Thierry Henry to join his volleyball team...
Apparently the ref saw it but judged it accidental. Less embarrassing, I suppose, than admitting that none of the three officials saw it when everyone else in the ground did.
Even if it were truly accidental, he should have refrained from kissing his hand in the celebration, That was just crass.
And still not as bad as that cheating toe rag Henry.
TG
I've seen it a few times, & it looks like the ugly little cheat taps it in with his hand, & even if the ref saw it & judged it accidental, as I understand it, a team shouldn't gain an advantage from an accidental hand ball, so the goal shouldn't have stood. I don't think the ref did see it. Football, there's just too much money tied up in it now for it to be just a game anymore.

I think patience is the key word at Anfield now.
I agree with some of your points about recent tactics and teams Thomas (Allen is beginning to look like he's not good enough, but I don't like jumping to rash conclusions about players after the turnaround that Lucas Leiva did a season or two ago) but we have to give Rodgers time to implement his ideas and really format his team. I'm sick of knee-jerk reactions and quick-fix solutions to our problems. We must never forget Fergie was a few games away from the bullet at Man Utd after a few seasons of misfires, before he got lucky with a cup win and the rest really is, as they say, history! 
I wish oblicno was still lurking around here, his mighty Bolton Wanderers have just caused a big upset in the FA Cup tonight.
Hope your lot do some damage at the Theatre of Screams tomorrow night Bill. I could do with cheering up, footie-wise.
Oh, and well done TG, good comeback tonight and onto the next round int'cup!
Jim Phelps, have you given up on The Beautiful Game?

Not looking forward to game tonight.
Humiliation on prime time telly!!!
Perhaps TG, Kev, Thomas (even Jimbo) if your watching, could you keep count how many times Joe Cole's opposite number arrives unmarked in the box to cause problems and in the corner of your screen Cole is either jogging back oblivious to the danger or standing with his hands on his hips on the halfway line - and also how many times gentle giant Carlton "blancmange" Cole gets beaten to a good cross or pass because he hasnt got the sense to get the correct side of the midget defender marking him.
Muggings, murders, slaughterings, outrageous liberties in a public fareway...And I thought Ripper street was grim viewing.....

To be honest TG, with injuries already and first-eleven not available, we are weak in several positions, and because of that we are on the cusp of problems and getting sucked into the bottom 5 or 6, especially with QPR Reading Wigan, Sunderland, Newcastle all still in there fighting and nicking the odd win so the last thing we could do with is energy sapping cup games and more injuries.
Happy to go out with pride intact by 1 goal but just coulda done without a replay. And a morale crushing 4 or 5 nil.
They may surprise me - but I doubt it!
Add edit. dreary game. 1-0. United looked like they all had money on a 1-0 win as Rooney missed a penalty and they skied all their chances!
At least we're out of both cups!!! no more distractions and no more excuses.

...and then waste a spot in european competition next year and come home after their first match against the second best team in cyprus!! ha ha.
yeah let em enjoy their day in the sun!
Suspect, as you say, the arrival of Sturridge and the return of Lucas could be a bit of a turning point for you, kev and thomas.
dont get me wrong, youre still shite (not as total shite as the hammers obviously) but you might just be battling for 5th place with everton and arsenal.
Hammers go to highbury tonight. groan.
wont be pretty.
Will be expecting some poor marking as usual, and, like last time, stupidly stepping up in a schoolboy attempt to play off-side at the wrong time allowing a full-speed walcott to run through un-opposed and look like England material.
And if Joe cole or Tomkins is trying to track him, he will probably get a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, up front, the tree from Lord of the rings misses chance after chance or lumbers about not really close to getting near anything played up to him.
But then I think Sam is wise to how rubbish Carlton Cole is and may play Chamahk against his old club instead. (oops, he cant play due to terms of his loan - damn!)
Get well soon andy carroll.

5-1. oops.
We were all over the place. Defenders jogging about, bit of token jockeying, running in different directions but not actually doing much.
Thought the days of giving up mid-match and complete capitulation were over under Allardyce.
When we are bad, we're shocking.

Sorry about the drubbing at the new library, Bill.
Delighted for Bradford City, and glad that Swansea made it through as it gives my near neighbours a chance to win their first cup since 1911! (Not sure if the West Riding Cup counts, nor even if Leeds ever let them win it!)
As for that ridiculous matter with Hazard and the ballboy, the whole thing smells very badly. The boy - and what's he doing in that capacity at his age? - apparently tweeted his intention to delay play whenever possible. He then took a dive and lay on the ball, which would have earned a yellow card if he were a player. Hazard at that point should have brought it to the ref's attention, who would have added 30 seconds on at the end, as is customary. Instead - and under the circumstances, I'd probably have done the same - he tried to kick the ball out, making no contact as far as I could see with the lad, who then started to roll around as if shot.
Apportioning blame: ballboy 90%, Hazard 10%; Rescind the red card, ban the kid from that job and move on.
