Maximum Dipper level achieved!

The one on the left is Campino who is the singer in the German punk rock band Die Toten Hosen, and a known Liverpool supporter. The one on the right is Johannes B. Kerner a German TV journalist.

I didn't know til just now, but Redmen TV were posting all their stuff with a big banner icon that said "Liverpool: Champions of Europe Elect". Not even the Rags would do that.

all these premature PL and CL winners shirts.... why not just print "next year is our year" shirts and they will be able to wear them in any competition for ever more. Sorted laaaaa

Didn't learn from 2013/14 at all, did they?

100% thought that Ramos would do whatever it takes to win - Ramos, IMO, intentionally tried to put a bit extra into the challenge on Salah - and, as things turned out, he'd have been delighted in the outcome. Salah out of the game - but not (hopefully) injured long term.

Maybe but this isn't the 1970's football era where I really don't think Ramos intentionally went out there to target Salah & get him out of the game as some Dipper fans are suggesting.

First & foremost it looks like Mo was grabbing onto Ramos's arm in the challenge & basically he's thought well if you're going to do that to me I'm going to take you down as per the norm psyche in most one on one footie battles. There's always one that ends up worse than the other & unfortunately for Mo they both landed on his shoulder.

A pre-medicated Cantona 'kung-fu' style kick at someone is entirely a different matter.

I think it was accidental. Ramos is quite clumsy against skilful players but don't think he's out to intentionally injure opponents.
Key moment of game because Liverpool were better team till then

Agreed - I don't think that Ramos went out of his way to injure Salah - but, having pinned Salah's arm in that challenge, he wasn't going to let it go and he was going to do his all to dive on top of Salah during the challenge. Not 100% dirty play - but definitely putting a bit extra into the challenge that was absolutely necessary.

It's surprising how little it takes to dislocate a shoulder - I once dislocated someone's shoulder during a pick-up game of tackle American football in college - didn't even try to injure my opponent - just an accident; and I'm not at all an imposing figure (5'8" 145#). Ramos is far larger.

Felt terrible about it and drove him to the hospital straight away.

I think the injury was entirely unintentional, even though the pulling/armlock was intentional. He didn’t mean to dislocate his shoulder the way down, it just happened that way. And it looked as if Salah initiated that lock, anyway.

I cannot tell you how many times my arm has been in that sort of lock whilst playing, both my doing it and the other player initiating. It is a VERY common jostling/strongarming situation when defending players (which is even coached as a tactic), and anyone that says otherwise is lying to suit their agenda.

This wouldn't have been possible without Ramos...Cheers everyone and have a good night!

Dilly Dilly.
