Slippy Steve.

Is his slip the most iconic slip in the history of sports? I think it is.

Born slippy, Stevie and his underworld crew!
The new Bill Shankly.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but was it not the Scouse Rags that were taking the moral high ground about dealing with ethnically questionable overseas governments and organisations?

First Standard Chartered Bank and their money laundering, and now…



Tibet Water Resources Limited (TWRL) exploits the natural resources of Tibet with the help of the Chinese military occupation. So why has Liverpool FC signed a sponsorship deal with the company?


TWRL is only able to take resources from Tibet because the brutal Chinese military occupation allows it to -- it owes its profits to the repression, torture and denial of political freedoms that have become commonplace there.


In turn, its brand -- and now Liverpool FC -- lend legitimacy to the occupation, creating a cycle of violence and repression.


Political repression isn’t even the only reason that TWRL doesn’t make a good partner for an institution like Liverpool FC -- there are serious environmental problems, too.


Bottling water from Tibetan glaciers exacerbates the existing threat to Tibet’s resources already posed by climate change and pollution -- making an already bad situation even worse.


The Chinese government knows it can only continue to get away with repression in Tibet if its occupation has legitimacy. And associating Tibet with major global brands like Liverpool FC is a great way to normalise the brutal situation.

Candle light vigil for the people of Tibet coming up then?i Fucking doubt it.

I love how it's called a slip. Not a woeful miscontrol then a slip when he panics. Just a slip. Could happen to anyone.

Wonder if some of the fans on Rawk will change their tune about oil money?

The Blue half of Merseyside changed their view overnight so I doubt the red half will have to much of a dilemma...

Truth is that he threw himself on the deck after giving the ball away.
Slip my arse.
