Dipper on radio 5 this morning bemoaning the fact that the players have not been able to mourn properly after having to start the season so soon after a death of a player. According to him they all need proper bereavement counselling and Salah’s grief is causing his loss of form.

Thankfully another caller called the dippers out as delusionally self obsessed…

…so how do you explain them beating us and all those other teams?

Stop fucking exploiting Jota’s death, you absolute ghouls.

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Anyone got access to RAWK, to see their reactions to this debacle?

I would imagine they have been fair, tolerant and reasonable. And that John Aldridge has not just pissed a melted kidney out.

15th April if memory serves me correctly, we got stuffed 4 0 at Blackburn Simon Garner hat trick

We played the totally left footed (can't think of his name, played CB for Oldham and CF sometimes) at right back that day.

Do they get relegated after he does that this time?

Taggart.......although not the detective

To be fair to Gerry he was involved in a murder every week...

It was embarrassing for Gerry Taggart. I remember him trying to clear upfield with his left foot and it went out for a throw in almost at 90 degs to his right. City were a shambles that day.

I was there and remember it well, I was absolutely devasted at the end of the game because I'd thought we'd blown our chance of promotion, but as news came from Hillsborough it didn't really seem to matter anymore.

Gerry Taggart?

EDIT: I’ve just seen @Gingers Dad's post.

Enjoying this new addition to the Liverpool shit show.

Funny really as he has been way out of form, unrecognisable this season really so Slot is more than justified in his decision to leave him on the bench.

Best of all though is the manner in how this has gone down. Embarrassing carry on from Salah acting like a spoiled child. There’s no way those comments should have been shared publicly like that it’s just really really poor from him.

I guess no statue for him. That makes 2 with Arnold. Didn't some scouser commentator once claim we have no legends?

Jota's death was of course tragic, but the complete absence of any wider lessons being learned is notable.

He was driving a supercar at high speed.

There are many other instances of young footballers crashing in these circumstances - I recall Ronaldo writing off his Ferrari racing in the tunnels under mcr airport. Antonio recently suffered life changing injuries.

Rather than think of this as a one off tragedy, better to think of it as an inevitable result of young men being indulged in high risk activities on public roads. What are their employers, LFC in this instance, doing to protect their employees and the wider public? They're not the victims of a random meteor strike.

I got over the death of my parents faster than these snowflakes.

Gerry Taggart?

EDIT: I’ve just seen @Gingers Dad's post.

I wanted to write Ged Brannan as he was also rubbish but from a different era.

 

[Vienna_70]

I was convinced the one against Rúben wasn’t a penalty at the time, and having watched it in that montage, I’m even more convinced now.

It’s a mystery how the VAR officials were taken in by the falling pharaoh.


Or maybe not.

“What debacle? There’s nothing to see here. Salah has always been a fringe, squad player with questionable loyalty to Liverpool” - RAWK, probably

Yes Salah was never as good as Jordan Ibe anyway.

Brannan was brought in as a supposed replacement for Peter Reid, wasn’t he?

That went well.

If not , now is the time we organise a couple of sleeper cells over there.

I always go to Brannan as the nadir of City signings in that era, I'm sure there were worse but for me it was Brannan - sorry Ged.
