Mansfield Away Sunday Jan 6th
Liverpool's FA Cup trip to Mansfield Town this weekend has been plunged into doubt.
Sunday's third round tie at the One Call Stadium is under threat from postponement due to a waterlogged pitch which saw the Stags' game with Grimsby Town last Saturday called off.
Mansfield are working tirelessly to ensure that the surface is playable for the visit of Brendan Rodgers's side but manager Paul Cox fears that the Conference National side may be forced to abandon the original game with should conditions worsen in the build-up to it.
He said: "The pitch took a lot of stick against Alfreton on Boxing Day and it is hard for it to recover with all the rain.
"In fact the assessor in the stand said to me he was surprised that game actually finished as the ball wasn't moving in some places on the pitch and players just couldn't run with it.
"Then we had Grimsby called off. That game was in doubt on the Friday but overnight there were strong winds and no more rain, so I was quite optimistic about the pitch inspection.
"But the water just wasn't draining away and if you threw a ball up it just wouldn't bounce. The forecast for later was torrential rain so there was little option. And here we are again. All we can do is hope for Sunday.

Mansfield Town will pay a poignant tribute to the Liverpool fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough when the Reds travel to Field Mill for Sunday's FA Cup third round tie.

Re: Mansfield Away Sunday Jan 6th
Suarez handball and went in. You'll have to watch it to form an opinion.
Mancsfield manager, Keegan and Barnsey said it was not intentional but ESPN keep at them.

Ha, ESPN still trying to pick a bone.
Sturridge was side foot past keeper on weaker foot after great through ball by shelvey.
He should of had a hatrick

Re: Mansfield Away Sunday Jan 6th
Everyone was waiting for it to be disallowed, it wasn't, blame the officials
And of course Luis kissing his wrist was an insult to the Mansfield fans and journos everywhere

Sturridge took his well, good pass from Shelvey. Suarez........ meh dont think it was intentional tbh

From what Rodgers says the officials told him they saw the ball hit Saurez's hand, suggesting they saw it as accidental and thus play on.

Strachan regarding Suarez incident "if you parked on double yellows & didn't get a ticket, would you ring the council for the £85 fine"
