Opinion Poll: Did Mascherano Deserve to be Sent-Off?

Opinion Poll: Did Mascherano Deserve to be Sent-Off?

Javier Mascherano was needlessly sent-off just before half-time during our 3-0 defeat at Urinal yesterday, but did he deserve to go?

He claims he only asked a question to the referee, without swearing or being intimidating, but saw Red nevertheless, but do YOU think he deserved to be sent-off?

It’s a shame to have that kind of refereeing in football. In almost if not in all matches you have players talking to referees, then there has to be yellow cards showed up in all those games. What a rubbish. Sometimes poor refereeing decision brings violence in games or among supporters. Thanks god nothing of that kind happened and if it did, then the referee would have been the only one to be blamed. Hope the referee read my comments.

What a flippin joke! Im sorry but reina & mascherano cost us th game. Reina the midget tried the same thing twice and failed both times to punch the ball! he made some good saves nut i still feel hes over rated. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! its so annoying. we never beat the twats! The ref took the piss too. a yellow card for complaining?! I bet gerrard leaves in the summer coz im sure hes had enuf 2. The idiots didnt sign ronaldo just because he was 18! what kind of scouts have we got! Have they got a brain cell??? how could they not see potential in his talent?? instead wev been signing the shittest players on the face of the earth i.e. Cisse, pellegrino, baros, traore, biscan, le tallec, morientes, kromkamp, gonzalez, voronin, diao, kewell and many many more. U can do nothing but laugh! At this rate wel be lucky if we win the premiership in this century. Just compare our squad to chelsea, man u and arsenal. no where near as good. maybe im going over the top but i just feel we make too many excuses and dont realise the sad fact that we havnt got enuf world class players!

Tommo said in his book we didn’t sign ronaldo cos he wanted million signing on fee, didn’t he?.. I’m still glad we don’t have the likes of him at Liverpool, he’s not a Liverpool player….

With the standard refereeing in the game Mascherano must have realised he was going to get sent off if he didn’t back off, cos the ref had told him to go away three times leading up to his sending off,we know Steve Bennett is a mardy twat and there’s no talking to him now this proves it.
It’s only three points lets focus on the next game and stuff the bitters…

Mascherano is to blame - he should’ve known better (even if the refereeing was biased).
