- subliminali, on 10/21/2009, -5/+123Actually, The referees cost Liverpool that game. The rules are pretty clear that play must be stopped if there's outside interference. The ref got demoted for making that call.
- eddyb123, on 10/20/2009, -1/+75Actually, the home team (Sunderland) won. The away team (Liverpool) lost.
- Robustica, on 10/20/2009, -6/+76If I were that goalie, I would the grab the ball and THROW IT ON THE GROUND.

- Hardrada, on 10/21/2009, -1/+16Next time you're providing a reference for "dummies" who don't stay current with your idea of pop culture, why don't you provide a reference that's available to people outside the US.
- joeTaco, on 10/21/2009, -3/+17Actually, it was Liverpool's ***** play that didn't allow them to score a goal. Even Rafa Benitez doesn't blame the loss on the balloon.
Also, it was Reina's (and his defense's) decision not to remove the balloon from the pitch when he had the chance. It was in his six yard box for a long time before the incident. - Azyrii, on 10/21/2009, -3/+15It was mistaken because in the US, the first team listed is the away team. Simple mistake.
- KibblesnBitts, on 10/21/2009, -2/+11Eh....in Soccer - or Football if you so choose to call it - every goal is crucial...in baseball, they still had two strikes on the batter....it was poor pitching and defense that caused the Marlins score seven runs. Not Bartman.

- CrixMadine, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3I like how Jeb Bush offered Barman asylum in Florida.
- lunacraz, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3to be fair, bent and kenywe are tearing ***** up, and liverpool were missing torres and gerrard.
that being said, yes liverpool should still win against sunderland.
CMON REDS - daliminator, on 10/21/2009, -1/+4The deflection doesn't look like it was the problem--the goalie went for the wrong ball when both flew toward the net.

- clintonbaptiste, on 10/21/2009, -1/+4I hear Beach Ball is an early favorite for this year's Balloon d'Or.
- EddiePotato, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2I wish you a happy GO AWAY.
- errik03, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3I expected you know within your self that you don't understand and accept it.
I know the rules like the back of my hand as I should I am a referee, I've studied and managed games at high levels and I've spoken to and been lectured by officials you've seen on TV.
Aside from that, stopping a game from a outside force such as a additional ball on the field has to be made in the opinion of the Center Referee. Stopping a game is a HUGE deal it is time consumption and more importantly slows down any momentum a team may have. you may have heard of the 12th and 13th player on the field speed and time. In the case of this scenario it caused a keeper to dive one way while the ball goes the other, game should of been stopped with a restart of a drop ball. The keeper should expect the official to ensure fairplay. The referee is sitting on his couch right now feeling like *****.
take care - PunkRockGeoff, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2And The Reds Go Marching On On On!!
- kitkat102, on 10/30/2009, -0/+2Liverpool's players only have themselves to blame. That ball was on the pitch for ages. Any of the defenders or the keeper could have moved it. Looks like they're trying to deflect the blame onto a young fan.
- errik03, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3TsarSimeon doesn't understand soccer
- wondertwins, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2I don't think anyone wants to be shunned for the rest of their life from society.
- TsarSimeon, on 10/21/2009, -6/+8The ref got demoted because Benítez is a ***** cry-baby and that was probably the only way FIFA could shut him up. Sunderland is not even a good team, if Liverpool wants to claim any sort of clout they should have easily beaten them. Sadly, they weren't able to even tie, and its not like they didn't have time, this happened very early on in the game. Not to mention Liverpool are lucky they didn't concede more goals (even Benítez said they stunk up that game).
Also I would like to point out that traveling at that velocity and as heavy as the football is, a light beach-ball couldn't have done anything. If you watch closely the real deflection is from a shin.
By the way, nice loss against Lyon. I see it as a way to get ready for an even worse loss against ManU. - tymufc, on 10/21/2009, -2/+4Sunderland is actually looking pretty solid so far. I hope they can keep it up. The prem is turning out to be a completely different beast this year. I can't wait to see how it all pans out!
- tastybbq, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3It looks like the defender actually got a foot on the ball. I could be wrong though.
- slugpellet63, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3"Also I would like to point out that traveling at that velocity and as heavy as the football is, a light beach-ball couldn't have done anything. If you watch closely the real deflection is from a shin."
Try having another look, this time with your eyes open or while wearing your glasses. The defender, if he had made contact, would have deflected the ball in the opposite direction to the one it actually took. If the defender had caused the deflection, from the ball's trajectory to the goalkeeper's right (as the goalie sees it) to end up going to the goalies left, then what made the beach ball move? To strike the beach ball it had to have first passed the defender and be traveling to the goalkeeper's right. If the defender had deflected the football it would not have struck the beach ball.
Modern footballs are actually quite light; this is a major complaint every time the World Cup comes round and a new ball is introduced - lighter than the previous ball - and it is now extremely difficult to hit the ball with power and not have it "balloon" into the air.
- remakeru, on 10/21/2009, -1/+2fix it :))
- TeeBaagz, on 11/08/2009, -0/+1He should feel indifferent about the situation. If a dad is going to let something like that make him hate his son all of a sudden then that's a dead beat dad.
- rufus2, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1Reina did move the ball off the field a couple times (once in his own net) and it blew back out. It's not his responsibility to keep ***** off the field, it's the responsibility of security to keep it from reaching the pitch in the first place.
- patond33z, on 10/21/2009, -1/+2I had big hopes for sunderland at the beginning of the year, Darrent Bent is amazing.. I'll gladly accept the fantasy points on this goal though, hah.
