Ironic cheers from the small-time club fans at every missed shot or misplaced pass.
If I were a linesman, I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides.

Another Erling Haaland stat..

The Norwegian is the first player to score twice on his Premier League debut since Odsonne Edouard last September for Crystal Palace.

So the only player to do it this year then really.

Most of the stuff everyone else seems to think is clever play: winding opponents up to get them booked/sent off, winning soft free kicks by going down easily, time wasting etc

It's all cheating.

It's all cheating.

Players holding their heads when they go down, regardless of what part of their body was fouled. Drives me up the fucking wall. They should automatically have to go off for a concussion assessment for 5 minutes if they do that, they'd soon cut it out.

That ones tricky, because on the flip side I guess you dont want players getting a bang on the head and playing on because they don't want to go off. It should be a yellow card, use VAR if necessary.

This really does need to happen. It would stop that particular cheat overnight. It's pathetic.

Aside from stopping any cheating etc, players holding their head should probably get concussion checks anyway. It just seems sensible to me now.

We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

BT sending that bellend on the pitch as soon as the match is over to get interviews with the players. Boiled my piss the other night with Carvalho not being able to celebrate with the fans and his team mates because that c*nt was shoving a microphone in his face.

When does that happen? Surely if the captain stays on he keeps the armband?

Or do you mean when Hendo is not playing and Milner comes on so Virgil hands the armband to him? If so that's just courtesy really.

It's all cheating.
Atletico Madrid in a nutshell, watching the first leg against that shower in Madrid a few years ago made me angrier than I've ever been watching a game of football, rolling around, "winding up" our players to provoke a reaction, surrounding the referee after every decision, diving, feigning injury etc, it gets papered over by biffs like Lineker as the "Dark Arts", actually praising the likes of them for being good at it, it's cheating, and a strong referee can stamp it out inside 5 minutes, if referees followed the letter of the law then it wouldn't happen and couldn't happen.

When you consider their job on TV is to exploit the moment, there's not much chance of that, unfortunately.

The question is, why do clubs allow them pitch side access?, and then the freedom to just stroll on to the pitch at the end?, there's people that have most likely been going to matches for decades that have never been on the pitch, so why allow these fuckers on?

And yes I do realise it's probably a contractual obligation with the broadcaster, but them inserting themselves into things is all wrong.

More and more little things. I think I’m close to being done with the game to be honest, I’m nowhere near as immersed as I used to be. It’s just absolutely tiresome.

You can’t just watch your team play football for 90 minutes and that’s the end of it. Instead every single action becomes a “talking point” for rabid media (both traditional and social media) and everything is a battle in a never ending point scoring contest. The noise around it is deafening and football media is completely oversaturated.

Few things this week have really got me:

Carvalho’s celebration. It was naive, but a young lad scoring a last minute winner for the first team overwhelmed with emotion doing his signature celebration? Agreed it was tone deaf but there’s absolutely no malice intended. But that’s it then, the fuse is lit. WAS FABIO CARVALHO WRONG TO CELEBRATE LIKE THAT? WE INTERVIEW A GUN CRIME EXPERT and then you’ve got the rival fans licking their lips for an excuse to score meaningless points. “Disgusting club disrespecting a murdered young girl. Sickening. Always the victims” etc etc etc.

Mural defacing. The pre game spray paint on murals with racist graffiti is met with the usual Heysel slurs and whataboutery, but this is the norm now. The sad thing is that people have gone out of their way to deface those murals. Why? Because they don’t like another football team. The “friendly derby” died about 5 years ago when the new breed of rabid tryhard Evertonian kids first surfaced, desperately trying to prove to their mates they’re the best blues on social media and again trying to score them fictional points against the “derty merderin kopite raaaaaats la”

Fucking transfers and the circus around them. It’s like living in a real world FIFA game.

Well, you can. I do.

I don't mean to belittle any of the points you made, nor to dismiss your experience, but most of these things are only an issue if you choose to consume the media where they feature. I don't, so they never effect me. I very much recommend jibbing off the football media circus, esp on social media and the TV/radio punditsphere.

The exception is the mural defacing. Even though I don't know much about it and haven't really seen any articles or even pictures of it, just knowing that it happened is an unpleasant feeling. But really that's a social issue as much, if not more, than a football one

The 'Friendly Derby' died a lot longer than five years ago.

I sympathise with your view on this. I'm only still interested for LFC and Klopp. I cut out as much of the shite that surrounds the game as possible. I don't have Twitter or Facebook and this is the only social media I do.

When I get to watch a game on TV it goes on at kick-off then off at full time. It's a shame I feel it necessary to do this, but I just don't want the negative, agendered and moronic shite in my life. Some still seeps in of course. Like the mural defacing. I mean what possesses a person to scrawl racist, hateful stuff like that? What kind of person abuses a young kid (Gerrard's daughter) in such a vile way? Who uses the tragic deaths of 39 people to score petty points off a neighbour? It's more than football though. As Ghosty says, it's a social thing and a product of a deeply mentally ill society.

I actually already am done with the game as a whole. I'm only sticking in this much because Klopp and LFC still offer some authenticity. It's still like holding on to a plank of wood in a sea of turbulent, putrid shite though.

We've never been particularly liked, but since the birth of social media, Twitter in particular, it's become the in thing to hate on Liverpool and it's fan base. Even famous people, footballers like Bernardo Silva & Raheem Sterling and ex-footballers like Trevor Sinclair partake of it on there.

Oh and by the way, the friendly derby ceast to exist somewhere around the mid '90s.

For the sake of my cardiac well being I never go into the half time thread. I concentrate on making a nice brew of Yorkshire tea, timed so I can sit down as the second half kicks off.

Virtually everything to do with football apart from watching the reds, although they've done their best to ruin that with the shitty commentary and punditry and the even worse officials. That's before we get to the wider Governance of the game.

It's so sad that what was once a fun passtime is only bearable by severely restricting how much of it you allow yourself to see/hear. There's too many no marks in the media and on social media that use the profile of the club as a means for their own self publicity.

That said, football reflects society and when we have a client media telling the masses that the likes of Johnson can do no wrong and parroting his lies, then it makes no sense to expect more of football media.

When I was a kid, I craved more coverage, now we have wall to wall 24 hour coverage, it's a case of be careful what you wish for.

Well, you can. I do.

Doesn’t come across as dismissive. I’d say I just find it difficult to shake Social Media and really shouldn’t have to just because of these dickhead opinions, it’s a massive shame. The mob mentality really does creep in when it’s Liverpool because people are told to hate us.

Doesn’t come across as dismissive. I’d say I just find it difficult to shake Social Media and really shouldn’t have to just because of these dickhead opinions, it’s a massive shame. The mob mentality really does creep in when it’s Liverpool because people are told to hate us.
It just baffles me. A mate text me the other day (he's a weird hipster from Belfast who supports west ham). He said he's buzzing for us to lose games and Klopp to be shite so we can go back to "obscurity". I asked did he want city to win the league by 30 points every year from now on. He wasn't arsed

We've not been in obscurity since the 1950s. Even when we were shit in the 00s/10s we were more relevant than pretty much everyone else.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

City are literally taking a position high up the table that teams just like West Ham could be occupying. Not the exact position but you know what I mean. That's what I don't get about teams in the lower top half of the table, they would be a place (or two now with Newcastle) higher and getting more money and getting in Europe more regularly if not for the sportswashers. But all they care about is "well at least it's not the Scousers."  ::)
Rafa Benitez: "I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

Regardless of your mate's thoughts in private, I don't really understand him expressing them in that way to you...doesn't seem very friendly!

We've a mate who's a Blue but always ends up out watching our matches with us - we chat about one another's teams and we're all aware of what fates we want to befall each club on the quiet, but we don't go out of our way to rub it in faces. I could see the stress he was going through last season when relegation was a very real possibility - more arsed about my mate being alright than what happens to Everton at the end of the day!

We've never been particularly liked, but since the birth of social media, Twitter in particular, it's become the in thing to hate on Liverpool and it's fan base. Even famous people, footballers like Bernardo Silva & Raheem Sterling and ex-footballers like Trevor Sinclair partake of it on there.

What's Raheem Sterling done/said on social media in relation to us?
