Its about time footballer's acted like­ sportsman,ref's need all the help they can get. The­ Fourth offical should watch the game on a monitor and­ let the ref know via his earpiece whats going on!Whats­ the point of it?do they listen to the radio?­ Diving,pretending to be injured,just a bunch of­ cheats!EVERY TEAM HAS THEM.Great for all our­ youngsters. With the amount of money in football they­ need to clean up their act.They cheat at any cost in­ the name of sport!L/Pool were the better side but­ helped on their way by Riley..Notice how many bad­ decisions where made during the game.Any reds fans­ won,t be arsed now 3pts are in the bag!!FOOTBALL NEEDS­ TO CHANGE,starting at the top. Worst display of the­ season from players and officals.Chelsea are out of the­ title race now but only had a slim chance before­ sunday's game. Scolari out!Bring back JOSE!

That referee is an @#$%........i hate him very much.

I wouldn't let Mike Reilly referee my local club­ game let alone Chelsea-Liverpool.
Like most refs in­ the uk he made a decision that changed the game. I­ believe the game would have finished 0-0 if it­ hadn't been for Reilly's @#$% up. Lets have­ some action replays to help idiots like Reilly who are­ unable to see from 2 yards away.

I think FIFA should look into EPL as they did to SERIA­ A, it absurb, its a disgrace to EPL, the officiating is­ bad, i can say its a delibrate act

We know that some referees are planted to decide the­ direction of premiership to the favour of certain side,­ last sunday red card and cheap penalty shares the same­ parent, recall which team was granted many cheap­ penalties in 2006/07 premiership, where some one keep­ running and dive, even when a referee decide it is a­ deving, he don't show yellow, compare the first­ round match between chelsea and tot'm spurs, look­ to the second round match between bolton and chelsea,­ where an obvious deliberate ball touch inside 10m was­ not a penalty take, where drogba was trying see the­ goalkeeper. we have many many incidences past 10 years­ to now. FIFA should look around Premiership it is poor­ league in the world, only because bad decisions have­ been made purposely and protected but not in favour of­ Arsenal or Liverpool, they play their natural game.

I'm a Chelsea fan & have to say that Liverpool­ did play well , they had more chances to score, than­ Chelsea , but i think that game would have finished 0-0­ .M.R got it totally wrong, shame because i thought he­ was the only one "best referee " in England­ .Lampard did not deserve it the red card.....I think­ Scolari need a "red card" forever .

i`d be ashamed if i were you awong your well ugly and­ liverpool have no premier league history

THE LINES MAN IS BLIND IDOT BOSINGWA SOULD BEEN SENT­ OF NOT LAMPARD I THINK ALONZO SHOULD BE YELOW HE LOSE­ THE BALL ALMOST HIT LAMPARD AND GERRARD SOULD YELOW FA­ NEEDS TO CHARGE BOSINGWA HE IS DIRTY PLAYER(miss jose­ is in d house)

riely it should be o`riely from fawlty towers how long­ do we have to put up with these muppet refs who think­ there bigger than the game.. win or lose up the blues

so bosingwa gets away with the kick in the back, so now­ there can be a free for all, as it is setting a­ pressidant, remember cantona the famous kick, well if­ bosingwa had kicked any harder he also would have hit a­ fan,as for lampard, he set himself up for that by going­ to the papers about alonso beforehand and i don`t know­ how many players kick a ball in a 50-50 with their­ studs, look at it again, studs showing,,,

tomkbms - your comments typical of the highest level­ what more can we expect from a bias ManU supporter.­ Yes, studs were high, game was fast tempo but lets not­ deflect from the fact that the one man who had ultimate­ control of the game - Mike Riley was @#$%!

I am a United fan and watched the game. Lampard did not­ deserve a red. Watching the slow motion you could see­ that Alonso was lucky not to get a red also. Lampard­ went in and won the ball with a high foot. Alonso­ missed the ball as he was trying to kick Lampard.

I am a Liverpool fan & Frank Lampard did not desrve­ a red card. Worryingly was the standard of Mike Riley­ decisions. He appears to like being centre of­ attention, more than getting things right.
Liverpool­ & Chelsea games are usually tight & sometimes­ Titanic, yesterday Chelsea were a shadow of the teams­ lead by Grant or Jose (special one).

lampard is a legend that was a fair good challenge he­ got the ball fair and square. however bosingwa shuld be­ banned for 3 games minimum and fined quite a lot fo­ cash u just dont kick someone in the back, even if he­ is wasting time its a tactic , u cant say chelsea havnt­ done it... bosingwa u dirty buthole

some people are crazy talking about Bosingwa's kick­ ...some people said they havent seen it before­ happening in football, well if they havent seen it­ before , i bet they have seen it now .That nuisance­ benayou was wasting time , so he deserves a kick and­ again it was Mike Riley's action against Lampard­ that triggers Bosingwa action . Riley spoilt the game­ by giving Lampard a red card, his head like coconut ,­ we keep talking about players making mistake and been­ purnished , what about someone like Mike Riley???? He­ should be relegated to a lower division to go and ref,­ or be made to pay a fine too
