Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

It's an outrageous statement from that shitstain of a club. Who the fuck do they think they are??? I actually wish the premier league and the hapless England would sue them for implying they cheated.

To be fair they're only implying what many on here have been saying all along! That's not to defend Liverpool in any way as they've had more than enough VAR decisions go their way, but it does beg the question that if even they are getting screwed over as badly as they were the other night then what the fuck is really going on? Is it just plain shit officiating or is there some kind of corruption but corruption that isn't favouring anyone in particular?

In a statement on Sunday, the club said they will "explore the range of options available given the clear need for escalation and resolution".

All MP’s are being recalled to the Irish Parliament this week to discuss the matter. The Irish PM will ask his British counterpart to investigate the issue as a matter of urgency. FSG, the cult and LFC will be informed of any new developments in due course.

Get that Coca Cola ad positioned right under the headline of the official statement.

Liverpool FC statement - Liverpool FC

Liverpool Football Club acknowledges PGMOL’s admission of their failures last night. It is clear that the correct application of the laws of the game did not occur, resulting in sporting integrity being undermined.

I cant think of any kind of corruption with financial gain as the objective that woould not have lfc being the league leaders, selling the brand to their global audience, selling the product to many more countries, giving the media their clicks and romance of lfc winning the title, making the PL product more healthy, not having the same team winning it. I cant think of why anyone would be corrupt against that outcome.

Won't make a blind bit of difference the way City are officiated.

Maybe, maybe not. The point though, is that VAR isn't ready for full deployment on football, whether that be from technology or implementation

That's all well and good but how does that square with that goal not being awarded the other night?

And as @JASR said, betting could be the key here

It‘s another we’re cleaning up football for the masses campaign instigated by FSG and LFC. Liverpool FC are the standard bearers for everything that is wrong with football, like hate chanting, etc.

Every club has had VAR decisions given against them, but I didn’t remember an official statement bing released by a club, and a campaign started by a club and their fans.

Fuck them. If it was the other way around and the decision had gone against Spurs, you wouldn’t hear anything from Klop, LFC or Liverpool fans.

 

[Blu1]

Guaranteed any boarder line var decisions going their way for the rest of the season

It's not just Liverpool fans who go silent when they get a favourable decision to be fair.

They've got to take this on the chin.

It's not likely that they aren't going to get a few "equalising" decisions off the back of it anyway.

Cynical perhaps,but that's the impression fans get from the officiating nowadays.

Just as they did when they, along with those other crusaders for the good of the game, united, came up with the idea of the ESL.

 

[waspish]

The other 19 clubs should make a statement about the none ofside and tell Liverpool it's a dangerous road they taking this and if they don't recant the statement we going sign a letter to get Liverpool a 10 point deduction!

I believe they are refunding the prize money they won for beating Wolves in the FA Cup when Wolves goal was offside at Anfield because there was no camera angle. Oh Hang on, turns out they are not, this is just one way when it goes against them
though tbh I am glad this has happened because they will create a shitstorm about it where as all other teams have moans by fans and occasionally managers and that is it. Maybe something will come of this better for all if they follow it through (Although I doubt it)

 

[jrb]

The club is owned and run by Yank billionaires who are used to having everything their own way. The statement was authorized from the top. They know what they are doing.

 

[blueish swede]

If we can't sing "Always the victims", and we can't sing the National anthem, can we at least sing "Ing-er-land, Ing-er-land, Ing-er-land"?

 

[hammocity]

Ha ha ha for the 3rd time in a week he's mentioned the Rodri handball and is now "threatening to watch Saudi football".
Oh. And they have the loudest stadium too ha ha ha

View attachment 94798

You deluded set of wankers, your club and only your club really, are the only ones to ever have a grievance about on field as well as off field decisions. You keep going on about Rodri’s handball, to quote a line from a Frozen song “let it go”.

You have had many positive VAR decisions over the past few years, penalties for diving and cheated your way through FFP even though you did fail one year you actually got away with a further charge by applying £50m to the costs of setting up a shiny, brand new mythical stadium.

Your other off field “misdemeanours” are well documented. Your City is full of scrotes, bent councillors and a former bent Mayor. The City and its practice’s are bent as fuck.

Now fucking do one you grief monkeys.

I hate the scousers more than any other team...Id rather any team have success than them...

however the decisions were wrong.

The bigger impact however is that this could galvanise them for the the season....just like Pep did with the PL charges ast season, they could use this to create an atmosphere that enables them

Hope Im wrong

The disallowed goal was 100% wrong, but for me the red card was correct. Gary Neville's "he wasn't trying to do him" means nowt, it's irrelevant. Nowadays the players have a duty of care to each other and Jones had no control over the challenge he made.

The ref was actually quite consistent throughout with a strict approach to foul challenges. Exactly what we don't get when we play, as our opponents are allowed to do whatever we want in order to give them a chance.

If we had a ref like the one they had yesterday whenever we played them at Anfield, we'd have won every match there since Pep joined.
