Liverpool thread 2020/21

[give it to gordon]

Did Henderson ever get charged by the fa when a few weeks ago he said that they been the VAR lines to suit ?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Take it Stuart Atwell and Kevin Friend won't be officiating Liverpool games for the foreseeable future then?

 

[Withnail]

It's a penalty nowadays, and certainly moreso than loads that the scousers have had, but I don't think it should be.

Incidentally, I watched the whole of that game and if we lose the league the that shower of shite, I'll be really pissed off. They were way worse than any of our crap performances. They were outplayed by Brighton other than the first ten minutes of each half.

And for any Liverpool fans moaning about the penalty, I give you exhibit A...



I don't have time to link exhibits B to Z.

All the moaning Dippers have a very selective memory, the challenge on Salah was very similar to the Robertson one yesterday. Both Mane and Salah will go down if you farted near them never mind a slight touch, they have had several soft penalties given over the years.

Soon they will run out off refs to officiate Liverpool games and they will have to call on ex dippers to officiate their games.

Nope. They'll be strung up in the Tower of London, looking like that prisoner in The Life of Brian..."You lucky bastards!"

Would of been funny if they said to Klopp after the rant that ok we will make sure you don’t get the 12:30 ever again but your club will lose out on the 9m you get for playing at that time.

 

[give it to gordon]

This rant with Wilder the Sheffield United manager could it also have something to do with the fact that SUFC didnt join the hateful 9, and didnt sign that letter?

 

[solley attwell]

Ha ha Liverpool two trophies us six. I wonder which team has been consistently brilliant? If they want to add those two bit ones they won, one in which they are laughingly called world champions, then we'll add our two charity shield ones in too.

It could be argued that the dippers beating Chelsea in the European community shield was less of an achievement than us beating the dippers in the English community shield considering they are the best team in the universe

I agree the fixtures pile up for clubs isn't great but is there really a big difference playing at 12.30 instead of 3pm on a Saturday after playing on a Wednesday? It's only 2 its a half hours.

Oh and it was a definite penalty and Klopp is a whopper

surely works other way when have more rest before needing points against Ajax this week but lets not mention that

Plus our kick off, in Greece, was 2 hours earlier that day. So we had 25 minutes more rest but had a trip back from Greece.
Jurgen Stropp, can't stop crying, looked very tetchy after the game - they didn't lose, it was quite an overreaction to a draw. Under pressure?

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Well in a shock to nobody outside of Dipperland, Klopp is revealing that he is actually a horrible ****. Nice one Bingo keep up the good work

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Wasn't moaning about VAR after this happened was he?

Of all the shit VAR decisions last season, this is up there as one of the worst. As clear a handball as you like under the current rules. Still pisses me to this day.

 

[cheekybids]

Has any asked wtf Robertson was doing swinging wildly at Welbeck? No, thought not but only 2 weeks ago we were told Walker is an idiot for giving a pen away.

Pretty obvious really ... Wellbeck was too far away from the touchline to be shoved into an advertising hoarding so needs must!

Havent watched much football lately only City matches really.
Just seen all the fuss about the penalty against liverpool, well the dippers player took a wild swing missed the ball and kicked the Brighton player, penalty all day long.
Than saw the penalty liverpool got against WHU were the hammers player just touched Salah sole of his boot. Salah flew into the air, doing a 180 twist as he went with a scream. Very embarrassing to watch a grown man pretending he was hurt, if fact I was surprised he could even feel the contact as it was so light.

I didnt hear liverpool saying that it shouldnt have been a penalty for them. Yet when their player swings wildly and with a lot more force than the salah penalty liverpool moan like little kids.

What a pathetic, victim culture that club and fans have.

Salah should have been booked for his ridiculous squeal, twist and fly with his arms stretched. No way does a slight touch to the ankle of an elite powerful muscular athlete with a fine sense if balance result in them being flung to the ground in such a manner.

There was a move a few seasons back to stop diving by booking players. This seems to have stopped and everyone is distracted by VAR instead

 

[MikeF]

Was their game on Wednesday not at home also? Not like they'd had to travel back from Siberia is it

 

[KentBlue]

He's beginning to unravel, of that I'm sure. His argument lacks merit because it's based on a fallacy...Saturday morning games after a Wednesday night game? If this man bothered to check the facts before his ill-timed rant yesterday he would have seen that other clubs have congested fixture lists too. It is not unique to the team that represents Englands largest collection of dole scroungers, benefit cheats, thieves and junkies, never has been. The same as injuries to players: every club gets them. Yes, that's right, Klipperty - EVERY club suffers injuries to their players now and again, not just yours.

And as for calling out another Premiership manager on live TV the way he did, I'd like to see Chris Wilder smash his fists into one or the other of Klipperty's faces and demolish every enamel-plated gravestone in his gums.

 

[old blue]

i find it very hard to understand him or his views he is trying to make ? everybody has played a early kick off and played in midweek before. would he question it if liverpool won ?? then moaning about the 5 subs ?? if somebody is not happy then the vote goes to the hands and they vote to not use 5 subs you have to take it and move on

klopp is always putting the question back to the interviewer like its his choice of the rules and thinks WE ARE LIVERPOOL how dare you ask me that ?? or how dare you treat us like that

i know pep is manchester city manager but he controls his anger and hold himself together in after match interviews
and leaves it and say its out of his hands and we just have to get on with it. yes pep back klopp with the 5 subs but the smaller clubs hold on to that little bit of power in the vote over the big clubs

klopp moaning about kick off's should take a look at last season and before the covid-19 outbreak
they always played before city and had the advantage of getting the points on the board first
did he moan back then ??

It reminded me of the Trump outburst, "you dont talk to the President of the United States like that"

The one in the 1st minute against Leicester was just as bad as this,was fuckin ridiculous

like i have said i dont watch much football only City, so i dont really know if Salah and Mane dive worst than any other team, going by the amount of penalties utd get i would guess they like a dive to.
Seeing that dive by Salah in the WHU game it was bloody embarrassing, i would be embarrassed if a City player was doing that game in game out , even doing once would be bad enough. In fact if City players starting doing this i think that could finally see be turn my back on football.
Perhaps its an age thing and we remember proper tackles when if you got the ball the man didnt matter !

The thing is i see rugby league, cycling etc were they just get on with it, bloody hell Geraint Thomas even rode one stage of the tour of spain with a fractured pelvis, if salah fractured his pelvis he would need 6 paramedics, 2 air ambulances , 1 private hospital wing, 8 doctors, 12 surgeons , 500 million candles, 7 go fund me pages, a petition in government to get the defender banned for life. Some footballers need to grow a pair, if football is to dangerous or rough for them they should take up fishing or darts etc

yet Thomas rode a 213km stage up mountains and down , only finished 12 minutes behind the winner all with a fractured pelvis

And as for klopp what a knobhead comes across as a right little cry baby and a huge hypocrite. He clearly encourages his players to dive and cheat

Has any of the press?media looked into why lfc have so many players suffering with asthma ? I think in any other sport or football club they would be people looking into this.
