Should be good this week. Don't let us down David!

Should be good this week. Don't let us down David!

From reading his previous ones, he seems to think fans, players, managers are whiny dolts and officials are all sound. I don't think it's going to be any different this time round.

David Squires on … Match Officials Mess’d Up: football’s favourite blooper show

https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2023/oct/03/david-squires-on-match-officials-messd-up-football-tottenham-liverpool-var-blooper-show

[redgriffin73]

Some good bits in that...Owen's different poses, Jurgen exploding at the journo, "I've already inflated my neck pillow", "England by name, England by nature", Matip's legs

[Redbonnie]

Don’t like it …. Conspiracies may be far fetched but match fixing is not far fetched and failure to acknowledge that puts the premier league integrity at risk.

Oh come on, this alters nothing. Jesus, don't we all need a laugh after all this!

He's making fun of the self-generating outrage train while still sticking the boot in to the hopelessly incompetant refereeing and their highly questionnable trips to side-gigs in the UAE mere days before. I was fuming on Saturday, but I'm already sick of the discussion. LFC are already taking action. Everyone else needs to learn to take a step back.

You don't think there is a conspiracy to silence conspiracy theorists and that David Squires is now part of it as well after sucking us in with his previously sympathetic humour?

Started off great ("Having realised he'd made a catastrophic mistake, he had no choice but to see it through. England by name, England by nature" is Squires at his genius best), fizzled into 'meh'.

[Lad]

Dissent in the ranks ! This is a first in the Squires thread.

[Black Bull Nova]

Yes, I think this issue has opened up a chasm, even amongst LFC fans between two groups, one of whom believes the below is a typical PGMOL meeting as David himself has pointed out.

[Redbonnie]

Oh come on, this alters nothing. Jesus, don't we all need a laugh after all this!

I am struggling to find the humour in this whole issue to be honest.

[rob1966]

Bit crap that one Squiresy, you could have been so much more brutal.

Nah, its more like this

[Black Bull Nova]

I am struggling to find the humour in this whole issue to be honest.

There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke

[damomad]

I am struggling to find the humour in this whole issue to be honest.

Squires has had the same problem.

[vicar]

I am struggling to find the humour in this whole issue to be honest.

Yeah, I was disappointed with it.
Maybe its because the reality was so ridiculous any parody wasn't going to be as stupid?

Dissent in the ranks ! This is a first in the Squires thread.

Henderson’s puppet hands

[thaddeus]

I've not seen his Elon Musk depiction before.  It's very good 

Is the person peeking around the door in the Beckham conversation somebody we should know or a generic interviewer?

It's Beckham himself. Or, rather, his conscience.

[thaddeus]

Squires is too clever and subtle for me.

[redgriffin73]

Gerrard and Henderson

The Beckham bit is great as well.

Thanks.  That's some very odd, almost passive aggressive, behaviour from David to his wife.

Beautifully woven in by Squires.

Yeah, determined to put her down in front of others, that she, she's a fraud as well.


Plastic pair


Squires is immaculate at using that film to expose Beckham's hypocrisy

[Alisson Wonderland]

Thanks.  That's some very odd, almost passive aggressive, behaviour from David to his wife.

I think you're reading too much into it. I'm no fan of his but it's just gentle teasing between a husband and wife because she was trying to downplay her "posh" tag.

[Nobby Reserve]

No Squires this week?

No Squires this week?

He's on holiday, mate.

lovely tribute

I remember when he did one when Jack died it was lovely too.

I feel theres kind of a hidden message with the propeller images, it was always there in his mind, but as life went on through a combination of time and illness it melts away and eventually its gone and no more pain from it

RIP

That's really really sad and moving

RIP

[redgriffin73]

Christ, just welled up at that, what a lovely tribute.

[Terry de Niro]

If there is such a thing as an afterlife, can you imagine the conversations Bobby would be having with Matt Busby, Duncan Edwards, and co?

*Sigh* 

[Nobby Reserve]

He's very good at these.

[JP!]

Good grief, that's done me in. RIP Sir Bob.  My Grandad went a few years ago and would always talk about how good he was.
