What a load of complete and utter bollocks!!! Did anyone actually watch the game or just the biased highlights shown on MOTD?? Yes Mascher should have kept his mouth shut, however Livepool have been used as a scapegoat for the discraceful behaviour of a certain Chelsea player during last week's game. Javier was given a yellow card for a similar tackle that 5 mins later Anderson was given a telling off for. Torres was repetedly hacked down and when he approached the ref for some protection (which the likes of Fergie etc have requested for their "star players") he was shown a yellow card. No wonder Mascherano was incensed. In the circumstances, I think most of us would have acted in the same manner - I know I was livid. If the rule now is that you will be booked for dissent for simply trying to talk to the ref, there will be a lot of teams down to 9 or 10 men week in week out. Steve Bennet was a joke and was trying to prove a point given the public slating he'd received following Chelsea's game last week.
