Miss half a word out? I blame Batch Jr Jr who was crying with earache from 12:01am *-4:45am, then we were up at 6:30.

* don't want to get into a debate whether 12 midnight is correct (it is) or 12am is valid (it isn't).

There is no debate.  You are right.  12am and 12pm cannot possibly exist.

Now I can't stand scousers, well the red half of merseyside anyway, but this whole furore hasn't been based on a 'you're not fit to referee' chant is it? If so that's crazy. The bloke made two very borderline decisions against the home side and home side supporters chant the above, the standard chant in such circumstances. The fact the bloke has fought cancer surely has nothing to do with that.

The twitter twat, well, every club has one (or two).

No the chant wasn't the cause, some might say ignore idiots on Twitter but it must be horrible having been through what he has to get that kind of tweet.

The referee Mark Halsey has complained to Greater Manchester Police about the vile tweets directed towards him and his wife following Liverpool's defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.

Halsey's fight against throat cancer in 2009 was referenced on Twitter after United's 2-1 win at Anfield, where the 51-year-old dismissed Liverpool's midfielder Jonjo Shelvey for a dangerous challenge on Jonny Evans and awarded the late penalty that enabled Robin van Persie to seal the victory. Halsey's wife, who has also been fighting cancer, was even mentioned in some tweets.

"I can confirm that my family have made a complaint to the police," Halsey told the BBC. "I will be speaking to the police on Wednesday after I have returned from refereeing Southampton v Sheffield Wednesday."

One of the abusive messages came from an account named @johnwareing1 and read: "I hope Mark Halsey gets cancer again and dies". Another, from @lfcjohn259, said: "Mark Halsey shouldve died of cancer", before being deleted. Both accounts have since been removed

Please don't think I'm defender the twatterers, I'm not, charges should be brought against these people who make offensive tweets. But like I say that shouldn't be any reflection on Liverpool as it's likely these knobjockeys who post stuff like that have either never been to anfield, or if they have are part of the daytripping society.

oooh I see. Yes I agree, tarring people with the same brush is bad enough when it happen in a ground, but no you can not say faceless twietterers should be linked to LFC.
