Didn't realise Ron was in charge of evrey record book known to man. Maybe the actual PL trophy will also have asterisk on it too besides  our name.

an enormous dick

[arthur sarnoff]

who’s Ron Liddle?

Normally, I'd suggest Googling him.  But don't, for the sake of your own blood pressure.  He's a racist, sexist, Islamaphobic, misogynistic prick who dresses up his views as 'nobody dares to  speak for the common white folk like me, who even listens to us?'.  Even as he expresses his views in various media outlets.  He's a c*nt.

Didn't he also assault his pregnant girlfriend?

'He ran away and left his wife for a youngone '

'He ran away and left his wife for a youngone '

And then battered the young lass whilst she was 5 months pregnant.

Lovely fella.

*Gobshite. 

[rushyman]

My guess is Tyler will say something like 'it's not how they imagined it after a 30 year wait but you have to say they do deserve it this year. But with United on the rise again something tells me it wont be as easy for them next season. Which takes me back to 1999 and that famous night...'

Meanwhile Neville will be crying in the corner.

That horrible little c*nt already tried everything. It was every day for 2 weeks when restart was in the balance, dressing up his hatred as objectivity.

They announced it and he had lost. Not a peep since

We’ve beaten everyone. You’ve beaten  your pregnant partner.

 

How is this man in a position to put his opinion on anything? If this was any footballer convicted of domestic abuse the papers would have a field day. Fucking lowlife.

As soon as that absolute c*nt says something, you know the opposite is true.

So that’s a win.

Best thing is to just ignore him, I think.

I'm stunned, stunned I say, that our Mayor thinks that Everton should be able to play at home, while at the same time being dead against Liverpool playing at Anfield  /s.

Absolutely incredible

Not only play at home, but play at home in their highest risk fixture of the season.

Mayor of Hypocrisy.

[Dave D]

who’s Ron Liddle?

Rod? A nasty waste of a human who needs to be continually beaten back into his cage every so ofter.

Famous for quotes such as

Is there a devilish, shadowy conspiracy to stop Liverpool winning the Premier League title this season? Or are Liverpool retreating into their unlovable role as perpetual victims once more? I have the horrible feeling that Steven Gerrard’s arrest (and subsequent charging) for some alleged fracas in a Southport nightclub will lead, some way down the line, to black armbands, wreaths strewn around the gates at Anfield and maybe a minute’s silence before the next home game.

and




Never forget the real c*nts. Liddle is one of them.

[Speedy Molby]

Liddle's one of those who turned on Scousers when overt racism became unacceptable.

I'd never heard of him until yesterday, but what an odious little scumbag he is.

[Crosby Nick]

How often do we play at Anfield around the anniversary of Heysel? Never. He’d know that but wrote about it anyway the shit stirring prick.

[rafathegaffa83]

We don't, because the season is done by that point. Also Heysel is commemorated every year by the club and there is a permanent plaque on the wall of the ground. All of which would have taken Liddle's editor 5 mins of research

I know, that was also my point !

[Ziltoid]

If his partner had miscarried and lost the baby after he twatted her would he have an asterisk next to the number of children on his wiki page stating one didn't finish the season?

[lukeb1981]

'He ran away and left his wife for a youngone '

That will always be a classic

I mean - don’t look into him because he’s gross, but if you think Rod Liddle isn’t still practicing overt racism then you’d be in for a shock...

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Only 3 positive tests in the latest round of testing across Championship, League One and League Two clubs. Very impressive seeing as most of these players won't have the resources (and probably will) to isolate themselves as easily as Premier League players.

[Samie]

100k to test an entire squad ain't much.

Coronavirus testing could cost Aberdeen up to £100,000 until the end of the year, according to chairman Dave Cormack. "We'll have the full precautions in place."

League Two clubs have formally voted to bring their season to a conclusion. The league table will be settled by a points-per-game format, while promotion and relegation both remain in place.

Stevenage are set to go down.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

In order for a campaign to be curtailed, 51% of sides in any given EFL division need to agree to it

Really doesn't seem a fair way to do it. There will always be more clubs happy with the status quo than those that are not. Every team in a promotion place will want the season to end, as will some play-off clubs and all clubs outside of the relegation zone that could fall into trouble. Then you get the clubs that are mid-table with nothing to play for. You're looking at 3/4 clubs max that would have more to gain than they would have to lose by carrying on - in this instance, probably just Bradford, Port Vale and Stevenage. The latter should be fuming if they are relegated given the problems at Macclesfield.

I imagine League 1 will follow suit later today for the same reasons.

To me, the decision should be taken out of the clubs hands. If the EFL doesn't think its economically viable to continue or possible from a health and safety point of view then it should be curtailed. By putting it a vote, I guess they're saying there would be a way to continue?

[kloppagetime]

Happy for Plymouth, Ryan Lowe is a quality young manager plus he's a red

[Samie]

League One clubs have also voted to end the season.

Coventry and Rotherham have won promotion.

Wycombe, Oxford, Fleetwood and Portsmouth in the play-offs.

Tranmere, Southend and Bolton have been relegated.

https://bbc.in/30q0erd

[redgriffin73]

Are they naming champions in either of the leagues?

[Samie]

The National Court in France has blocked relegations from Ligue 1 for the 2019/2020 season.

That is still being looked at.

[Samie]

It doesn't mention that but I presume so because they're doing play-offs and relegation.

Looks like Coventry and Swindon according to the BBC article.

Yeah, you'd have thought so but they don't really make it clear.

[redgriffin73]

Ah, cheers.

Edit - just looked again and I see it makes it clear in the lists rather than in the story itself.

[DelTrotter]

What an absolute mess France has made of this whole thing
