General Football and Sport / Re: VAR! Video Assistant Referee & Shite Referees in General

« Last post by Andy @ Allerton! on Today at 01:47:21 pm »

Just imagine a football league where you could concentrate on the managers, the players, the tactics, how good they were on the day and the results afterwards.

Imagine that.

We used to have that once. When did that really go? Is there a way to get that back?


I'm bored shitless even talking about this any more. Is there a solution? Football is a very, very simple game. Why is this a problem every fucking week?

Danns then? Who else we got that could play that role and is fit?

We can sign someone in the summer. The remaining fixtures are dead rubbers anyway.

The lad needs to be put on the wing and he'd be great.
Leave the centre forward position to others.

Danns then? Who else we got that could play that role and is fit?

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The corruption fallacy - they’re all out to get us!

Only saw it this morning for one reason or another ... actually stunned how it's not been highlighted in the media in any way shape or form.

I don't know how you can watch that and not come to the conclusion that Anthony Taylor is a bent referee? Anyone? Of all the things that's happened this season, it's the worst one. No wonder Klopp can't be arsed anymore. Why would you when that happens every time Taylor refs us? Corrupt league, incapable corrupt refs.

Bizarre at best, corrupt at worst, and you know what? People mock the Youtubers of the world, but at least some of their podcasts are trying to highlight this stuff and not just brush it away from their paymasters. Carragher and Neville, where are they on this one? Oh sorry, Carragher says fans who think refs are bent are being silly doesn't he.

Fuck off this league.

General Football and Sport / Re: Man City - Cheating Bastards on & off the pitch - 115 Charges

The ‘ITK’ claims that Tebas received one, so I assume it’s “saying negative things about us” they want ceased. And clearly such a powerful letter wouldn’t be possible were they not guaranteed to be cleared.

Tebas is a lawyer himself though and they’re not known for making rash pronouncements.

Crease and desist letters aren’t really powerful, they’re just bullying tactics. If Tebas is sure of his ground, he can safely ignore it.

Surely the clubs have to demand PGMOL changes leadership and rethinks completely.

How can we go every weekend and 50% of games have the referee’s making howlers, players furious, clubs releasing statements, and the clubs not all come together and do something.

Whatever that was yesterday was an utter farce and the club should yet again be asking for microphone recordings and a full explanation.

Thing is they mostly make howlers that punish certain teams and benefit others.
Certain teams are always on the receiving end while others always get the rub of the green. That's corruption.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Name 6 of the current squad that will still be here in 5 years(5 years on again)

« Last post by has gone odd on Today at 01:42:17 pm »

Trent
MacAllister
Danns
Bradley
Jones
Elliott
Quansah

Starting to doubt if anyone else will be here in 3 years, let alone 5. I would love to keep Szobo and Diaz but can see them eying up a Spanish team sooner or later.

General Football and Sport / Re: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD - 2023 (FSG posts = get muted) - No Mbappé

Agree…There’s a decent chance Gravenberch becomes elite over the next couple of seasons if he can stay fit and get minutes

I’m excited about Gravenberch’s potential, my only worry is quite exactly what type of player will he be?

I can see all the tools, I’m just not sure what the end result looks like. An athletic, ball carrying 8 that can operate out wide and more centrally, is press resistant but has a bit of a limited passing range? Feels a bit like what we thought Naby would be (and was at points when fit), is a taller Naby a fair comp in a few years or what?

General Football and Sport / Re: Man City - Cheating Bastards on & off the pitch - 115 Charges

I know you've posted about it for a while, so it's definitely not a knock on you, but I feel like a lot of Arsenal fans are only now finally mentioning 115 charges a lot and questioning the integrity of it all. I mean, it's better than being alone with it like we were for years, but it would've been nice if other fanbases were calling it out before now.

Unfortunately, until Man United launch a credible title challenge and get narrowly beaten by the cheats, I feel like there'll never be enough traction. And let's face it, that looks a mile off.

Thing is Man Utd were actually the first to suffer from their cheating.
SKY and most of us loved it.


 

So we are currently living in a despotic regime ruled by Manchester City? That’s the crux of it? Verbal delict is in effect. Speak against the ruler and suffer the consequences, plebs should shut up and take it.

I doubt Tebas would give two fucks about them, but they will soon start chasing journalists. It really is the end game for football.

No but we live in country that buys nearly all its gas from them, relies heavily on their investment and the City, arms dealers, royals and Tories love them far more than us plebs.
