Liverpool thread

[FantasyIreland]

This is not bleating, just the absolute truth but had that been Sterling yesterday, it would never have been given, would probably have landed him a booking, would no doubt have been dismissed as a dive by all the media and even on here he would have got pelters.

Any one else and its clever play.

It does seem that way as we have been on the receiving end of several incidents that evidence it.Its hard to view the game as 'fair' when I witness such constant inconsistencies.

Tesco would be full of people rolling about the aisles if everyone hit the deck when contact was made

I didn't think it possible but I honestly think that Liverool fans are more insufferable, arrogant, entitled, and deluded than the rags.
What a horrible, horrible club.

I 100% agree

Why do you want to bring up Heysel? is it because you care about 39 people being killed, or is it point-scoring and wanting to call me a murderer? Heysel was too important for trivial point-scoring!!
My post was about football, The League Cup, the Europa League. I said nothing provocative, yet the debate goes onto Heysel!!!

Because All Liverpool fans wipe it out of their memory

Never ever a pen. It pisses me off when these so called experts say "there was contact so he's well within his rights to go down". No!!! It's a contact sport. It's not basketball.
Caragher saying 'Liverpool players don't dive'. Oh fuck off. I've never come across as bunch of deluded, cult-like pricks as Liverpool fans. And I think I hate them more than united.
Victims .

If only there was some consistency in these decisions. Personally, I don't think 'contact' in any way 'entitles' you to go down, but if that is how the rule is to be interpreted, then so be it.

You would think it would be a simple matter to get the refs together in summer for a week or so, study videos, and agree that such and such is a penalty and so and so isn't. Then apply the rules consistently in all matches, and at all times. The selected interpretations could and should be made known to all interested parties before the season starts. After that, failure by any referee to implement 'policy' would be met by an immediate six match suspension or relegation to a lower level of the game.

Failure to work on this sort of simple stuff makes people believe, rightly or wrongly, that refs are incompetent or corrupt or both. This cannot be good for the reputation of the game, particularly when there is a clear suspicion that some teams are unduly favoured while others are denied stonewall penalties.

I think even Ash the Crash would have been embarrassed with that. I think it's embarrassing to call it a dive. It's just a total collapse as he's passed the defender. The ball is going nowhere, Benteke is going nowhere, the game is nigh on up, so let's collapse and see if the ref is as flakey as Cadbury's proverbial!

Come into the light brother....

 

[mad4city]

Liverpool are a cult and they are full of the most insufferable, deluded, obnoxious, arrogant, unaware, hypocritical, scumbag cunts English football has ever seen.

You forgot emotionally incontinent...






and sanctimonious...





and labouring under a misplaced sense of entitlement....





and you only said "deluded" once!


Good effort, though.


EDIT: ... and you forgot self-aggrandising, too.

 

[shackattack]

the irony of them having a munich 58 banner at heysel is also lost on them !!
