A disgrace

Clear push on Ade, Barry, hacked down by Mascherano who should've had several bookings, and SWP hacked down in the first minute. Against that a fairly clear Liverpool penalty and Torres being booked for a gentle push, far less violent than some of the unpunished tackles. He waved play on when Barry rugby-tackled someone out on the right and by the time play ended with a Liverpool booking he'd forgotten all about that.
Very poor.

Kompany should have walked in the 1st half, for a 2 footed lunge, (cant remember the player) but he didnt even get booked. 1-0
Mascarano should have walked for his blatent attack on Barry 1-1
Adebayor should have got a penalty, but both officials missed that some how 1-2
Benayoun should have got a penalty ( being honest and staying on his feet cost him that apparently, why god only knows ) 2-2
I cant remember a decent official anymore, but we need to take those tinted specs off. Both teams had reason to be a bit pissed of with the officials yesterday.
Walton should be retired after yesterdays performance

I assume you mean Torres was booked for diessnt rather than the push? That's how I saw it too.
But I do agree the ref was dire and unbiased

I thought it was funny that on MOTD2 Alan Hansen was basically saying he should have gone down
In otherwords he was advocating cheating

It's quite incredible the way people look at it. Kompany made a misjudgement trying to get a foot to the ball so tried to get his leg out of the way before Benayoun could win a pen, Rafa & even people on here still think that constitutes a pen & everyone else criticises Benayoun for not cheating!
