Manchester United vs. Liverpool

So the Man U vs. Liverpool game from earlier was quite a dramatic affair. Liverpool took an early lead through none other then Mr. Liverpool, Steven Gerrard. Everything looked to be going well until Man U equalized through a great left footed shot from Rafael. Things got even worse for Liverpool, when Shelvey was sent off with a straight red card for a two footed challenge. Replays showed that the straight red was kind of harsh in my opinion.

 The picture clearly shows the Man U player, Evans, leading with studs up and two feet, a red card offense itself. Things went from bad to worse when the ref awarded a PK for a very soft challenge on Antonio Valencia by Glen Johnson. Bullshit call just like the red card in my opinion. This game was decided by the ref today, not the players.
