And, we’re off.......2018/2019

Nothing to do with red specs

Pep went onto the pitch to celebrate - he was given just a chat from the FA to just be careful - that’s all that was needed , no reason to do anything else , it’s just a team celebrating at the end of the day , celebrating in sport , what actual harm is there ?

Its not just about celebrating, its about how or where you celebrate.

Neville and Adebayor celebrated on the pitch, but ran 80 to do it in front of fans.

So are you saying that managers should be okay to celebrate on a pitch - what about first team coach, goalie coach......

Just because 2 mistakes have been made (Pep), doesnt mean that you make it 3 or more.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Klopp's so called passion and emotion always looks very contrived and "look at me" "where's the camera"...

He's right up there with Mourinho in Random Irritations of Every Day for me.

Whilst I'm having a dig at him - where the heck did he get those teeth??!!

Not for me, the cameras are everywhere these days, so doesnt matter where they are.

He has done it all his career even when at Mainz, and same when he was a player, so why contrived now?

Neville and Adebayor both raced across the pitch to celebrate in front of opposition fans , both Klopp and Pep celebrated with their players - I’m sure to most the difference is clear.

As I said Pep was given a warning and I think that’s the appropriate cause of action for Klopp.

If Klopp sprinted all the way down the line and was celebrating towards the Everton fans then it’s quite clear is a deliberate actions looking to goad fans ( what Neville and Adebayor did )

I think it still shouldnt be allowed to just slip, whether a fine, warning etc.

Do you think it would be okay if managers continued to celebrate on the pitch, going forward?

Thought Klopps action were understandable but naive and coming that far onto the pitch was always going to get him in trouble. Granted there is inconsistency as Pep has been over vociferous in some of his celebrations without similar FA recourse. Not surprised Arsenal and Spurs got charged for not controlling their player.

I think each situation should be judged on its own merit - Klopp does it again , fined ( same with Pep ) , either continuely do it and then a possible ban.

Just don’t think they need to “charge for misconduct “ - just an initial warning to the manager and move on - the whole issue been blown out of proportion- especially by people like Danny Mills ( who said he would have elbowed a manager if they did it near him ) and good old Talksport

Taking the disparity between Pep and Klopp's treatment, and while I have no issues with passion from managers but there has to be a limit and in my opinion both of them have over stepped the mark. That said if they act similarly they should be treated similarly. I don't want any manager to be cold and aloof especially in a derby but there has to be a line somewhere

 

[Liverbirdie]

So that may see some managers think that they have a free hit in future.

Burn him!!!!!!!

Do they have to first charge him with something to then be able to give him a warning as to his future conduct? I've no idea, but if he isn't charged with anything then how can he be reprimanded/warned?

Tashy should there be a smiley after that? Swapping Green for Ashley, that is funny.

Well if that's true I hope that the pension funds for the Newcastle staff are ring fenced.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Ref Klopp, run 5 yards onto the pitch, turn around and go back = no problem. Get to the centre circle, naughty, naughty. It's too far.

Third round draw time.

Bolton v Walsall or Sunderland
Millwall v Hull
Gillingham v Cardiff
Brentford v Oxford
Sheffield Wednesday v Luton
Manchester United v Reading
Everton v Lincoln
Tranmere or Southport v Tottenham
Preston v Doncaster
Newcastle v Blackburn
Chelsea v Nottingham Forest
Crystal Palace v Grimsby
Derby v Southampton
Accrington Stanley v Ipswich
Bristol City v Huddersfield
Wrexham or Newport v Leicester
Fulham v Oldham
Shrewsbury v Stoke
Solihull Moors or Blackpool v Arsenal
Manchester City v Rotherham
Bournemouth v Brighton
West Ham v Birmingham
Woking v Watford
Burnley v Barnsley
QPR v Leeds
Sheffield United v Barnet
Norwich v Portsmouth
Guiseley or Fleetwood v Wimbledon
West Brom v Wigan
Middlesbrough v Peterborough or Bradford
Wolves v Liverpool
Aston Villa v Swansea

Great opportunity for Solihull Motors if they can win their replay for a huge payday. Not sure how Richart will feel about Jose's mob away but could they be there for the taking, especially if they put some squad players in? Woking v Watford will be another good one for the non-league team. Won't hold my breath with my mob. They could do anything at home to Oldham

I bet either team who could be facing Arsenal would rather be away at the Emirates. More cash, and a grand day out.

I know a fair few Arsenal fans who wont object to a weekend away in Blackpool in January too

Sounds like a plan I'm in 😂..

In a side note seeing the nations league semi draw does anyone actually understand what the nations league is and how it works

 

[fundy]

geez the histrionics in the championship as bad as the premier league, brentford spent all game trying to burn time, pretend to be injured, centre half just gone down likes hes been shot by a sniper (about a second after the contact)

Dean Smiths stocks going up by the minute too!

True but it'll still need a good pay day.
