Yesterday's defeat for the dippers will only matter if they get beat again during the week. The FA Cup is not even a minor priority for most teams now. The eyes are on the big prize. I do have a hunch however that they might have played their best football already this season and might start to struggle in the weeks ahead. Wishful thinking?

Sorry can't agree. The FA cup, in my opinion, is a big priority for many teams that are not going to be in the running for the major prizes, look at Newcastle's excitement at being at Wembley in the League cup. The 5th round draw has some great ties, in which I would imagine the teams will run their bollocks off to win through to the next round. Also, with teams like us, the dippers and arse, it becomes part of a very exclusive double or even a treble. So yes I disagree.

Wrong in this case. Yes i agree many clubs will prioritise the league over the Cup but the liverpool loss will hit hard as they genuinely thought the quad was on. As did i in fairness.
The english treble is a big thing for liverpool. They havent done it.

Poetic.

Arne Slot's seamless succession to Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager has shown he is not only an outstanding coach but a fast learner - but he was given a harsh lesson in one of the game's oldest rules on a wild afternoon in Devon.

Never play fast and loose with the grand old FA Cup.

The sight of Plymouth Argyle, bottom of the Championship, embarrassing Premier League leaders and the previously all-conquering Liverpool with this fourth-round victory was a compelling response to those who would to attempt to downgrade the magic and history of the competition.

And for Slot, it proved to be the first wrong move in a stellar start at Anfield, proof that you try to play tricks with the FA Cup at your peril.

In fairness Argyle also fielded a weakened side as they have a big game coming up.

Nah. In the mind of some supporters yes. But for the club staff and players its not really a consideration. If it happens all well and good but massive rotations are done in the full knowledge that games may be lost. The game against Everton was prioritised and is what matters most to the Club. Of course fans dream of all sorts of achievements but thankfully they don't get to pick the team.

In the news today, 2 fans banned for "tragedy chanting"

City fan 3 year ban for shouting "m*******g bastards.

Chelsea fan sacked from the Police for chanting something at Dippers!

Probably not nice but bans and losing job, Jesus.

Why are their fans never caught or charged with anything.

I'm pissed off with the City Steward that reported this, just have a word.

I'm pissed off that a highly trained officer ( I think he was a Police Officer) has been sacked. Again somebody have a word but getting sacked!

Put a price on training someone to be in the Police, it's money tossed away because of those mard arses!

For the legal experts on here, was the City fans mistake admitting to it?

How can they prove it, could've been shouting anything

The dippers love dishing it out but they can never take it.

Always the victims
 
Full story here about the City fan being banned for 3 years for daring to call Liverpool fans out over Heysel. How the fuck they managed to get a reverse tragedy chant shoehorned into being a tragedy chant is beyond me but they managed it nonetheless:

Man City fan who'd drunk six pints is banned over what he said to Liverpool fans

'There has got to be a deterrent to stop this kind of thing happening'

Take football out of the equation and it really highlights how incredible that decision is. Imagine if you saw somebody who was responsible for multiple deaths for whatever reason out on the street and you decided to shout "murderer" in their direction as you passed. Not a particularly nice thing to do but if it's accurate there can't really be any complaints. If that person then reported you to the police, what would happen?

Pathetic pandering that needs addressing.

The authorities bend over backwards to appease this lot.

Not so much when they're the ones dishing it out though, eh?

W@NKERS!!!
