Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Liverpool Women FC (away vs Leicester - 18/05 - 15:00 ko) (*)
« Last post by LeoT on Today at 11:34:00 am »I finally watched the match.(The FAplayer wasn't working on my phone yesterday).
Good team performance, 4th place is looking Likely, though I'm sure Leicester will want to win their final game, and they're a difficult team to beat.
Glad that ManU will need to beat Chelsea to finish above us

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The corruption fallacy - they’re all out to get us!
« Last post by Andy @ Allerton! on Today at 11:32:57 am »You’re bemoaning the past - we had it in our hands before we played the mancs and the wheels have royally come off, we lost it, refs didn’t take it from us.
No one is denying that the refs have had a woeful season for getting key decisions wrong, but that wasn’t just us, they’ve been shite across the board.
We fucked it up. No argument there.
But certain teams across the decades have fucked up and that's normally allowed. It's been unusual how unreally good we and teams we compete against have been. One slip and the whole season has gone.
What separates this from 'normal' seasons is that there have been several key decisions in several key matches that have had dubious decisions.
I can think of 8 or 9 off the top of my head that directly affected the result of the game. All went against us. I'm struggling to remember any that went for us - though there must be the odd one surely?
I don't watch much other football these days as my heart isn't in it. But from friends I have that still do, the discussion the last few times we met up was that the decisions that have been dodgy have largely gone for our competitors. The nature of the modern game is that all the teams are ultra fit, very well trained and very schooled in tactics and the ability of players doesn't differ that much. It's the small differences that allow one team to win or lose the game - all small pieces of brilliance or mistakes or luck.
When that is adjusted slightly so that you can clearly see what appears to be bias (For such a number of decisions routinely to go against you every season, it's hard to say they are mistakes if they keep happening) then that has an impact.
You don't see any bias. You see 'mistakes'. From the same refs. In many games. Repeated.
But you'd have to be nuts to see the refs as bent in your world. Not sure if you went to the match yesterday, but after the game, there was a dejected feel - even though we'd won - because despite the win, the officials still fucked us over. That's mad, we've won a game against a very good team and most people were dejected and pissed off with the officials.
We're all probably just bellends though.

Have a google what Port Adelaide do before every AFL game.
They wanted to create a similar thing to YNWA.

News and Current Affairs / Re: Never mind 'Stop the Boats' - STOP THE TORIES
« Last post by west_london_red on Today at 11:29:43 am »It's incredible how this story is being peddled by pro-Tory propogandists this morning. Even Rigby on Sky TV is peddling this Tory crap this morning on twitter, despite John Curtis shattering the theory into little pieces. But its the start by the media of misrepresenting people, they will be full of it as the Election gets underway.
I don’t think it will have much effect on anything. No matter how much they try and tell shill for the Tories it doesn’t change the fundamentals, people have less money in their pocket and it takes weeks to get a doctors appointment, everything else is secondary and all the lies of the Tories and their client journalists can’t change that, it just can’t.

I agree, Wakeford was one to cash in on, but then he got selected to run again, we are supposed to be getting rid of Tories not harbouring them.
