Topic: Liverpool v Union Saint-Gilloise - Europa League - 05 October 2023, 8pm

[Crosby Nick]

Why on earth would a player who's been red carded be available for the next league game?

Used to be like that once upon a time but feels like 20+ years ago at least. Probably some random paperwork reason.

[shank94]

I thought for 2 yellows the suspension kicks in after one game? Maybe I'm wrong.

No, they miss the next domestic game (league or cup). Jota will miss Brighton, will be available for the derby.

[sinnermichael]

Kelleher injured apparently.

[gerrardisgod]

Kelleher out according to Pearce, which probably means he starts as captain.

[RJH]

Used to be like that once upon a time but feels like 20+ years ago at least. Probably some random paperwork reason.

The only reason I can think of would be to allow for appeals to be lodged and reviewed.

I think it might still happen where you have mid-week fixtures and there might only be a couple of days between games, but not where you have a week long gap.

[Chakan]

Kelleher injured apparently.

How the hell does that happen?

[Nick110581]

How the hell does that happen?

Training ground collision.

Stitches on knee joint

[tubby]

Kelleher picked up a few injuries last season too, didn't he?  Or was that the previous season.

[shank94]

Hope Jaros get’s a nod ahead of Adrian. Was amazing during the Euro U21s. No point risking Alisson.

[Chakan]

Training ground collision.

Stitches on knee joint

Was this today? Or sometime before in training?

If it's today, why the hell are they doing that sort of training?

[slaphead]

Mate of mine is visiting Liverpool this week. Huge Chelsea fan like, but he's up having a look around Anfield now, never been. Well impressed with it, but more so that theres a Union Saint-Gilloise wreath laid at the Hillsborough memorial. Lovely touch, fair play to them.

Will have been Tuesday, I assume. He was missing in the open session yesterday.

[Chakan]

Ah ok fair enough then.

Wonder if Alli will step in or we go Adrian.

[MH41]

I think they had to leave Adrian out of the list?

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Adrian isn't registered is he?

I reckon Alisson plays.

[shank94]

Oh yes forgot he wasn’t registered.

[Jean Girard]

Kelleher left out of the Ireland squad so must be a bad enough one.

[Nick110581]

If it's today, why the hell are they doing that sort of training?

Could be anything.

Collision with pitch for example.

[Spanish Al]

Can’t we register Adrian due to a loophole around goalkeepers and injuries?

Annoying the amount of knocks Kelleher seems to pick up, maybe it’s not that many but it seems to have happened a few times when he’d perhaps get a game.

[classycarra]

shame for Kelleher, only hope it's not too long out as the majority of his games for us are likely in the next three months rather than the end of the season

Alli will start, Jaros won't get a debut at this stage (maybe will in group game 6 if the job's done). Adrian not registered, which is for the best even now

Damn it! He'd have played a good number of games.

I'd start Ali because we need to win to secure our passage into the 2nd round. Once we're through, Pitaluga can play.

Agreed - although avoiding the can of worms of discussion when the squad was announced, it's expected that Pitaluga isn't elligible on the B list (think he will be in a few months/next season). Jaros is only other keeper I know for sure made the list

[PaulF]

Why on earth would a player who's been red carded be available for the next league game?

To give VAR time to review it?

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Training ground collision.

Stitches on knee joint

Sounds like it's stitches for a bad cut. Bad timing for tonight but you'd think he'd be in with a chance of playing Toulouse in 3 weeks if it's just the cut.

[xbugawugax]

our ginger custodian is cursed. I know adrian is out. our reserves are pitaluga and jaros aint it? both i think decent enough to start for this game at least or once we qualify

lets just get an hope for uneventful game and routine 3 points.

Make football the headlines again. at least for europe games

we all know the fucking blind retarded monkeys working for PMGOL loves the limelight. and that is being kind to blind retarded monkeys.

[Clint Eastwood]

Wouldn't mind seeing Pitaluga or Jaros get a go.

[wampa1]

More international breaks

Guess who has the 12:30 kick-off after it?

That's a joke! An absolute disgrace!!!

How do they expect the officials to be back from UAE by that time?

Against the Ev though isn't it? They'll be mad that the only Super Sunday fixture they are guaranteed has been moved to Saturday lunchtime. What will they do with the rest of their weekend? Boo the geese in Stanley Park?

I'll be watching that in a bar in Cyprus (If I can be arsed letting footy interrupt my sunbathing).

Just win easy tonight please Redmen

[jillcwhomever]

I am really looking forward to getting back to some actual football tonight.

Watch out for dodgy looking Albanian men. I hear it's rife round those parts.

[Spanish Al]

One of the St Gilloise fans did a shit in front of the police while they were having their police escort to the ground. Must have been touching cloth tbf.

Got my stab undies ready

LAst time we were there, I was swerving the game, by the time I changed my mind and joined the family in the bar, we were 3-0 up and Old Trafford was emptying
