The disallowed goal is pissing me off the more time goes by.

Keepers are protected so extensively that it’s essentially a definite foul if they go down in the box. It’s bullshit and weak refereeing.

They played their best team/squad with everyone fit. And bar that one moment that we didn’t defend the shot and they scored, I wasn’t concerned that they’d score, even though I knew they had at least one goal in them. We should have won still. With Kev, Stones, and Grealish to come back, we’ll be fine. Let’s get Spurs and Villa out of the way, then we’ve got a run of 10 winnable games, with a CL knockout place already assured.

I wouldn't call it 'weak'. Where the LotG don't clearly specify a foul you will find a ref who will manufacture an incident that he will swear black 'n white, or more correctly red 'n red, that fits the definition.

 

[Stoned Rose]

I despair, we would have still been top with a bit of luck tonight, as it stands, we are a point behind Arsenal, what is wrong with you? Not even halfway through the season, and some people here are talking like we are threatened with relegation.

About 85% of the forum actually think we are, the fannies.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

What club were the yellow, blue, red and green representing?
There were a few Liverpool and other supporters round me. I’m sure the 2 lads sitting next to me were wrong end of the East Lancs supporters. X

For the first time ever I saw an opposition supporter thrown out of SS3 in a League game today (I posted this earlier when I was on the way home).

He was being taken out by several stewards from behind me in 316 after Liverpool scored and he was getting lots of digs as he passed by. His nose was streaming blood and he looked shocked.

What was he doing in there as I thought all of SS3 was SCs only. Saw a few half and half scarves too and people around me commented on it. Not great if the club is selling tickets that were previously SCs (I wouldn't be at all surprised at that tbh as no SCs have been issued for last season and this one).

Yet Onana is allowed to clean out a Wolves player in the last minute at the swamp..

They didn't have Jimmy Crankie playing left back - shoulder injury. That apart I agree with you entirely - could have won but we're still far from top gear, and haven't yet looked anywhere near it, with world class players missing. A point will do. And, I'm sure the dippers are delighted.
Everything to look forward to again in 2024.`

Frustrating ending, but it could've easily ended up worse. We'll take the point and on to the next.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Aside from the lack of energy in the second half and a failure by Pep to utilise the bench, my biggest gripe today was the amount of half and half scarf wearers in the ground. I have never seen it as bad.Surely we can't be overlooking proper blues to flog seats to the tourists and turning us into everything we hated about the rags. Shameful and embarrassing

Its what it is. Either stop going and watch at home or not worry about it. I choose to not worry, continue to watch as i have for 40 years and just enjoy my own experience

SC holders can sell their ticket on seat exchange and anybody with a membership can buy it. I guess touts sell them on.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

They celebrated like they’d won a trophy at the end

 

[ysmsa]

Agreed

But yes we do seem to be selling more tickets to customers rather than supporters

Because "supporters" nowadays would rather watch on TV, in the Pub, online or wherever.

Without "Tourists" and new fans every PL ground in the League would be half empty.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Was it worth 3 full weeks of cryarsing and excuses from their fans you have to ask?

It started with the kick off time. Then we were making up injuries in conjunction with national team managers to get our players ready for the day. Then it was cranked up a few notches when Everton got docked points.
Then some virgins on TikTok exclusively revealed that Chris Cavanagh was a city fanatic and his family all season ticket holders. The world believed it of course a la all myths regarding City.
Must have been why he was awarding Liverpool corners for Nunez kicking it out today, intercepting our counter attacks and disallowing goals when Allison dropped the ball.

You’d think they’ll stop crying soon and enjoy the game but I really can’t see it

Excuse FC

It’s part and parcel of success, global football tourist paying big money to second hand ticket agencies.They won’t be a problem when we are in the National league North, although Wrexham may disagree

 

[ysmsa]

My lad was on the laptop for hours when all tickets became available, the only 'big' we could get is spuds

Tickets for all games appear, have to check daily though to have a chance of getting one

The Big games though are harder and expensive

What makes you say that, you got home and your handbag was empty?

My lad does check regularly ! He forgets I'm a FOC and I find the journey knackering nowadays so he's got us spuds and palace lol. I prefer once a month lol

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Terrible decision regarding the disallowed goal.

Killed us.

As did our finishing. We don’t half miss some chances.

Even Haaland missed that sitter 20secs before their goal.

2 points dropped.

Proper Blues who piss off early every match!

Half and halfs are flogged by wankers outside who would also sell tickets to absolutely anybody for a profit.

The scarfs are bought as a souvenirs, just as programmes used to be. Not for me but it's no big deal.

Casual fans have always attended football matches, it's not a crime!
