Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

In fairness, i'd have been screaming from the rooftops if the Doku challenge happened against us & we didn't get a pen.
Fuck em though

why, a weak foot no where near head height, plays the ball first , their player turn his back and presses close..NO PEN for me. The Litmus Test = Would we have got one like that last seconds? = NO WAY

Never a penalty in a million years. Doku hits the ball ffs. That said I have seen many soft ones given against us at the Cult Bowl.

Original owner was John Houlding....who was a Conservative. Everton were the current occupiers at Anfield and wanted them to buy his land next to it. Everton moved across Stanley Park to Goodison and he was left with an empty ground. He then founded a new club called Everton Athletic but the FA would not allow it due to it's similarity to Everton.....he then changed it to what it is known as today. Apologies in advance !!

prominent orange order man as well. Does that rankle with some of their ROI support - genuinely curious as they are exact opposite to Hibs and Celtic. City have always been pretty neutral in this respect - plenty of Irish diaspora fans - or descendants of...particularly amongst the Manc Musician fraternity.

He did!

'Klopp: It's 100 per cent a penalty | 'If the ball isn't there he kills him!''

Jurgen Klopp: It's 100 per cent a penalty | 'If the ball isn't there he kills him!'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was left frustrated that his side was denied a last-gasp penalty following Jeremy Dokus challenge on Alexis Mac Allister but was delighted with the Reds performance as they drew 1-1 with Manchester City.

Fuck me what an overly dramatic tool. In fact, what a twat. Hopefully someone in the media has picked him up on it. Maybe some Liverpool fans will ask him to stop being silly.

He's got previous though hasn't he. Good way to get some decisions at the Swamp next week.

I think they should ask for the game to be replayed.

They’re gonna start a petition.

Yep. After the replay the general feeling on the Matchday Thread was that it was a pen - mind you, it was the Matchday Thread.

However, if that was Van Dick v Haaland we'd be screaming Livarpool if it wasn't given.

Same guy?

"I don't think it's a red card, he didn't see him,” the Reds boss told Sky Sports.

“I saw the goalie already and obviously it's not that bad. In the first moment everyone thought it was really bad.

"It was unlucky, it was an accident. The goalkeeper comes out, Sadio wants the ball. To get a red card in a game like this is really unlucky."

He added: "I'm sure people will find enough reason to say it is a red card. I could not even see Sadio Mane touched him."

There is just no way that's a pen. Doku kicks the ball and then withdraws his foot downwards so as to avoid contact. He does not follow straight through to the chest. I would be livid if it was given against us and embarrassed if it was given for us.

But but but their the fairest fans in the world, they applaud the opponents off even if they beat Liverpool .., that whistling and jeering from minute one tells me they were terrified , these are the very same people that held a candle lit vigil for a chicken carcass ..,

The chicken carcass incident still cracks me up to this day.

Wow, now I see what they mean. That point really does mean more. Get that asterisk on the official premier league table right now please! *Two points to be added for merit at a later date.

For a team that, just according to the BBC today, were 'stretched' and 'rattled' and full of 'weaknesses', we still seem to have not been beaten and with hitting the woodwork twice in the second half, came as close to winning the game as we came to losing it.

Or maybe they don't want to face up to the fact that Liverpool still have to avoid dropping points away at west ham, Fulham, Everton , United and villa as well as at home to spurs and Brighton, so maybe, just maybe, the title wasn't won or lost yesterday at all.
