Lol. They are taking legal action? I've not seen anything about that yet.

To be honest, City should have just let it go without comment, or properly challenge Klopp's rant and ask him to justify it or retract.

Both clubs having a go at each other is unwholesome and irresponsible, and adds fuel to the already hot fire of hostility between fans.

Dominic King's article in the Mail today, Liverpool and considering all legal options in response etc. etc.

As I said earlier, just who would they be taking legal action against? There's no official response from City and no official quote from any person connected to City.

Dominic King acting like a crybaby writing that.

Of course this is the image from the BBC from the Lampard comment "Managers have responsibility to behave".

He sent off Klopp.

What does this look like here?

Absolutely nothing to see, as City haven’t released anything in formal in the press.
If anything let them continue spouting their rhetoric.

The thing is with all this stoking of animosity someone is going to get seriously hurt, I believe the coach was damaged again, I’d say to Liverpool police if you can’t guarantee our safety we ain’t playing at Anfield. As soon as the hit the coach drive straight back to Manchester and watch the fall out from that live on tv, we never get 3 points so just give to them anyway but what a statement that would be. The worlds press would be all over it, SKYs huge game doesn’t go ahead, Merseyside police are called into question, Klopp comments the lot.
Theres more than one way to skin a cat.

Agreed. My thoughts exactly. It would put a very bright spotlight on where they do not want it to be. As you say the fallout would be huge! Would the PL take action? Could they take action after brushing the riot at Old Trafford under the carpet when their fans got the game cancelled? It would be very interesting indeed.

That and the Klopp incident - which the German said had been borne out of frustration at what he saw as the officials' failure to award Liverpool a free-kick for a challenge on Mohamed Salah - came on a weekend where Merseyside Youth League games were postponed amid ongoing issues with referee abuse.

They are quick to accept Klopp's justification of his actions, but conveniently ignore Pep's comment.

Klopp and Pep both knew the referee's briefing for this game. Pep is justified in questioning why the referee chose to ignore his own dictum, but Klopp really should have viewed the foul on Salah in light of Taylor's briefing.

Pep raised his issue respectfully, but is then ignored by media. Klopp reacts like a psychopath, and is given sympathy from the media.

Is there an official response from Liverpool that they are considering legal action, or is that just speculation too?

Sometimes the clubs just need to calm things down and act with a degree of decorum.

That is genuinely ridiculous to use that image from the game to highlight the conduct of managers. They're not even attempting to hide their bias.

When did they ever? Their bias is in no way subtle. It is brazen and explicit. For a public service broadcaster funded by the licence fee it is genuinely unacceptable. But hey, there's no agenda...

Link below. Even with my really really really blue tinted glasses on I can't see how any VAR official would give that. As much as it looks like he could have touched it when his arm is in front of the ball, at no point can you actually see his arm and the ball being in contact. Not saying it didn't happen it's just that the camera angles available aren't good enough to see the supposed point of contact

I take your point but would say that it wasn’t subjected to the same level of scrutiny as the game’s other goal, was it?

For just £7.99, for just £5.99, for just £1.99, for just £0.99 a month you can read all the bollocks we said we wouldn't be writing about.

Subscribe to The Athletic today and pay us your good money to read opinions akin to the drunk at the bar who watches every game on TV.

Exactly. I subscribed when it was first launched hoping they would be good to their word but alas not...
I jacked it in when they did a big article (with photos) of some random Liverpool fan who walked past Klopp's house every day. WTF? I cancelled there and then.

I've posted much the same in the Team of the Year thread. It's a deliberate attempt to divert attention and point the finger at someone else and not the real culprits. The sooner some government fucks off the BBC and scraps the licence fee and forces them into the subscription media the better. I, for one, wouldn't given 'em a penny piece. As the 'natiuon's broadcaster' they are just a fuckin' disgrace.
