Pub football

But a high-end pub!

[BarryCrocker]

Hat-trick on his first game over there. He might actually score if you give him the ball every time over there 

I hope he scores 107 goals this season.

Would they allow his celebrations, pointing to the sky and thanking Jesus?

[Red Beret]

Reckon he gets bored and asks to leave after a season. Sounds way too easy a league for his calibre. The man's a walking cheat code when it comes to footie. 🙃

[LuverlyRita]

I've been wondering the same. Some players also like the "spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch" routine (copyright Robbie Coltrane) before stepping on the pitch. I guess they just have to keep themselves under firm control. Presumably the threat of losing your head and the obscene amounts of money on offer help 

[PaulF]

I wonder if as a sportswashing project they turn a blind eye to such things?

[Bing Crosby was a prick]

Saw the headline, didn't click.

Same. Would like to feel pleased for him but can’t. And don’t want to engage with that league at all.

World class strikers scores 3 goals in farmers league, news at 11

[Jake]

Shouldn't have gone there. Don't give a fuck about what happens over there. Regret him ever being associated with the club, taking the sportwashing homophobic misogynistic murderous blood money.

[Egyptian36]

Apparently Firmino got a warning not to do a celebration like this again.

  you guys are crazy , players been doing the sign of the cross celebration for a long time especially Ighalo who will do it like ten times in one game. Anyhow just watched the extended highlights and always to a joy to watch Firmino play and the atmosphere was insane it seems.

You must feel the same about Gerrard as well.

[Egyptian36]

Already injured.

Sad, isn't it?

More sad that some people are actually watching it. Or attempting to excuse it.

Or even support players going there to be poster boys for the sportswashing project of a vicious, human rights abusing, oppressive and murderous regime (with dismemberments, torture, forced confessions).

[Egyptian36]

We really did the right thing by not trying to keep him, his body can't keep up anymore

[Red Beret]

If he can break in that league, then Bobby really is screwed.

Hope his new club enjoy paying him half a million a week to sit in the treatment room. 

[Mister Flip Flop]

I certainly do. Gerrard is a grade A cnut.

[oojason]

Maybe even more so given the Saudi sportswashing club's use of iconic Liverpool imagery and history... in an attempt to promote themselves and / or link themselves to us?






Henderson's 'signing announcement' video too with iconic Liverpool imagery - from the official Al-Ettifaq FC twitter...

https://twitter.com/ettifaq/status/1684523633358544896 (1 minute video)

^ They also purposely greyed out & edited over the rainbow armband pictures of Henderson around 16 seconds into the video - https://streamable.com/y52xox





and this previously from their official social media when Gerrard signed for them as manager...





Their official 'announcement video' for Gerrard's signing doesn't sit well either:-

www.facebook.com/hashtag/%D8%AC%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%82%D9%8A

^ Obviously trading on the name of Liverpool.



and the recent 'let's link and talk about big name Liverpool players to give us free PR'...



^ despite seemingly taking their time to come up with the funds to buy Henderson for £12m or so...

(after mistakenly thinking a Liverpool captain, with 2 years on his contract, would somehow be available for a free transfer to them).



Maybe?

Yup, very sad indeed.

Can't say i've given them any thought since they left, other than seeing the occasional thread bumped here on RAWK.

[Libertine]

Already injured.

Oh dear, what a pity.

At least he will now have time to explore the vibrant culture of his new home country.

[Terry's Chocolate Orange]

Oh dear, what a pity.

At least he will now have time to explore the vibrant culture of his new home country.

Will he be able to take his wife and kids to a public stoning or an execution that involves some poor bastard getting his/her head hacked off?
Maybe even watch a load of jackals throw some poor soul to their death from a tall building,
for the "crime" of being gay.

Stop being racist, what other societies see as acceptable good family entertainment is none of our business.


How much did Barbie gross in the murderous hell hole ?

Oh come on, Terrence. At least try to be a bit more tolerant of other cultures.

Ah bless

I do. Moreso. He's a fucking c*nt.

Just seen his wife's posted pics of their kids in British International School of Jeddah uniforms so tbf at least they're actually living there by the looks of it. 

Probably still in some special gated community for the mega rich like!

Roberto Firmino: the truth behind the Salah-Mané relationship at Liverpool

[tubby]

That's really interesting about Mo and Sadio.  There was always a lot of talk about it but it was generally met with 'lol body language experts' by posters here.  Turns out it wasn't just talk.

There will still be posters on here that will say that, or "he's just sensationalizing it to sell his book" etc.

They won't at any stage think, you know, actually let's listen to what he is saying.

[DelTrotter]

Crazy to think two men out of a 25 man squad might not have been best of friends, incredible story.

[I only got a cheap Philips telly for chrimbo]

Crazy to think two men out of a 25 man squad might not have been best of friends, incredible story.

And yet they managed how many goals between them whilst winning every trophy except the Europa?

And Tommy Smith and Emlyn Hughes didn’t get on either. I think they won every trophy they entered into, except the Cup Winners Cup.

Phil Neal and Kenny...

[Red Beret]

So the guy who took half a million a week in blood money, then almost immediately managed to get himself injured playing pub level football, releases book containing "revelations" to try and stay relevant and earn himself even MORE money?

Well footballers do tend to release autobiographies when they retire, and I guess he IS retired now.

Can't even be arsed with the man anymore.

[Tis the season to be jillc]

I never quite get why so many people get arsey about footballers opening up like this. Simon Hughes making out that they were treated harshly. They had a good career here, everything ends eventually. It's weird how they assume that everything was exactly how Bobby claims. It's just one person's view, that's all.

[I only got a cheap Philips telly for chrimbo]

Phil Neal and Kenny...

Wasn’t that when Neal was overlooked for the manager’s job?

Anyway more grist to the mill of dissent.

[Mouldy Christmas cake]

Sky have already done a piece on this where it sounds like they've taken it entirely out of context.

Bringing up the Burnley game where they had that argument, which wasn't even really an argument, even though it was over 4 years ago now. The last time they played together was 18 months ago. I know they need to fill space but just really weird stuff.
