Dippers had a word with their owners?

On a serious note. He's done a decent job. Wonder which 12 year old clickbait kid they'll replace him with.

He's probably sick of death threats from Dipper's fans in all honesty.

I think he's been pretty fair to us even though I suspect he's been under a lot of pressure editorially.

Operation whitewash on Sky News.

"The French Authorities are claiming many Liverpool fans tried to get into the stadium using fake tickets. However social media taken by Liverpool fans show a different picture..."

LFC and their fans are a bastions of truth and balance.

I took numerous screenshots of scousers selling, gloating or looking for “blag” tickets yesterday, knowing they’ll be deleted as they re-write the actual events.

Of course they won’t have any of it, and Sky Sports and other media outlets saying “I didn’t see anyone with fake tickets” is laughable as how the hell would they know?

None of us were there but I expect the truth is they were partially to blame, along with typically shoddy UEFA organisation and heavy handed French policing. Sounds like a complete shit show all in all, I’m almost relieved in a way we didn’t make it.

According to Google the population of Liverpool is 496,784.

Managing to get every single person out + 103,000 tourists is an impressive feat even by their standards of being best at everything.

500k population (minus 250k for Evertonians)

250k local Liverpool fans meaning a minimum of 350k day trippers?

Someone please check my arithmetic but I find that hard to believe.........

If we were there City will have been blamed and banned from Europe/Close stadium/Fined already. Whilst the media mop up the compo faced scousers and the lawyer charged with suing us for 20 billion quid.
 
Despite an national rail strike in Spain. 97% of Madrid fans arrived for kick off. 50% of "British fans"


"Mass industrial fraud of tickets"


Awaits obligatory scouser on after shouting it's a cover up.
 
This whole Stade de France episode is a perfect illustration of the miserable state of our media. The reality of what did/didn't go on is probably quite complex and there will be elements of both sides of the story that have some truth.

This is exactly the time when you look for proper journalists to dig beneath the surface and try and present a more substantive and nuanced analysis of events. But the moronic coverage is proof if any is needed that we are sadly lacking in proper journalist talent.
 
While they defelct from defeat, another narrative is slowly being muttered, Klopp started it and a few journos and the cult have been repeating it, they only lost by a point so are our equal in prem term as winners.

Expect this lie and myth to slowly be woven as truth throughout the summer and them to be joint winners by the new seasons opening weekend

According to the media they were all wearing dipper colours too, which is astounding as only a relatively small proportion of the 500,000 population of dipperville will actually follow football. If half of them are Toffee fans, let's be generous and say 100,000 local fans, that leaves 500,000 day trippers. I can't say I noticed the news items where the roads into dipperville were grid locked?
