Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

[Tom Ford]

35,000 average attendance at Anfield in 1985?
Thought it would of been alot less after the ending to the 84/85 season you had.
Not your club's greatest year to be honest

To be fair all Clubs attendences were low.. in those days each club apart from maybe United had low attendences United just above 40k. football hooliganism was rife.. many working class towns and Cities has been ravaged by the Thatcher Goverment and football suffered too. Liverpool had there best season ever with a treble of League.. League Cup and Champions League but you could still pay on the day of the match and there were still plenty of seats empty apart from the really big games...
I think once SKY got involved it went global and football became a fashion accessory and the cool thing was to be associated to a successful brand then it all changed..
My point is simple.. what’s the point supporting a club if it no longer feels like your own.. like I say am hoping it doesn’t happen to you for a long long time but it’s inevitable given the modern fan.

I hope he gets a couple of matches added to his one match ban.

Klopp has asked for a season long ban...

Virgil van Dijk has been charged by the Football Association for acting in an "improper manner" after being sent off in Liverpool's win over Newcastle

Good!

I didn't think he was that bad tbh, at the time anyway. But it signs like he's been abusive and swearing at the official.

I hope this is PGMOL trying to cut descent and offensive language so they can then have live VAR in future.

With VAR players often hang around after a red, but I thought at the time that he'd get an extra charge, as he was really having a go at the ref.

I'd hope we'd turn down a similar approach for kdb

If a bid came in at that level for KDB at this stage in his career think we'd be sorely tempted, as to whether ginger Kev would fancy running around in 35 to 40 degree's is another matter.

I don’t think i could watch Liverpool play either

 

[zandvoort blue]

Van Dick should be a 3 game ban
1 game ban for the red card
I extra game for abusing the ref
Another extra for abusing the 4th official

In reality
1 game ban for the red card
A slap on the wrist and a warning about future conduct

If this is true (from BBC Gossip) they would be stupid not to accept as way way above what he is worth:
Al-Ittihad are ready to test Liverpool's resolve with a $162m (£129m) bid for Mohamed Salah, despite the Reds insisting the 31-year-old Egypt forward is not for sale

They're trying to up the price.
No way they turn down that kind of money.
It's Coutinho all over again.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I'll piss myself if they sell Salah after the transfer window closes after Klopp moaning about the Saudi window earlier in the year. And then act like they had no say in the matter.
