not Champions League but of interest. Beasley not named to Rangers squad today. Edu on bench.

[Isaac]

Liverpool down 1-0 to Atletico. Although an obvious penalty not given to Liverpool. This referee has been pretty bad.

[anon_e_moose]

sporting beating shaktar 1-0. Derlei scored in the 73rd minute.

[Brant]

Liverpool just got a gift of a PK

[Brant]

Liverpool ties it 1-1

[Brant]

How cool is it that the Cypriots are leading Inter late?

[anon_e_moose]

sporting qualifies for the CL knockout round, first time in club history. I believe that is worth 10-12m euros.

[Ives]

Wow, what a WEAK penalty call against Atletico in the 93rd minute. Gerrard converts the PK and Liverpool escapes with a draw. Just a weak, weak call.

[Isaac]

Gerard converts a penalty in the 94th minute.
A soft penalty if a penalty at all. Pernia booked. Aguero booked for dissent.

[James]

That was never never never never a penalty, but what else is new, an English giant gets the breaks.

[Brant]

I didn't see the earlier non-penalty, so maybe this was a make-up call. But why would you give a make-up call to someone at the 4:08 mark of 4 min of stoppage time.

And half of Atletico's team got carded for dissent after the kick...

[anon_e_moose]

did Gerrard dive again?

[henrik]

Goooooo Reds!!!!! Just wished Torres could have played against his former team.

[Brooks]

That should put Gerrard neck and neck with Ronaldo for penalties won on dives over the past couple of seasons.

[brant]

Wish the Cypriots could've held on.
Not sorry to see Bremen lose.
Didn't like the way Liverpool won, but didn't see earlier non-call to compare.
Thank goodness for Slingbox! Got to watch Liv-Atl @ work online :)

Nov 4th YES WE CAN...

For the few of us that still believe Convey is an option at left wing, he scored a goal today in a reserve game and here is a update from the Yanks Abroad site:

Roma!!! Vucigol!!!

Wow, who among the Scousers bought the ref in that one? First, 4 minutes of phantom injury time and then the...ummmm.....penalty. I realize it didn't matter that much to Liverpool's likelihood of advancing but it was still bordering on the criminal. Inexplicable.

[mig]

Oh, and the earlier non-call on a handball was cancelled out by a non-call vs. Carragher in the second half. Nauseating.

[HomeyBoehme]

Regarding the Liverpool match, definitely some of the worst officiating I have seen. Terrible terrible job by the officiating crew; a crew I hope to never see officiate another Champions League match.

[Isaac]

OH and Obama is the president of the United States. Just thought you would like to know that. Future leader of our country, not that big of a deal.

[Mark]

OBAMA!!!

[adam]

Obama!

[celtic1888]

cmonn celtic!

[Isaac]

GOAL CELTIC! Scott McDonald chips the goalkeeper BEAUTIFULLY and Celtic lead 1-0.

[Krista]

If Agger had put away any of those chances he had it would have been a non-issue with the PK.
