The Footie Thread

[Tashyboy]

Your main Sponsor is Standard Charter Bank, they have been fined hundreds of millions for breaking money laundering rules, the rules over Ukraine and Russia and dealing with terrorists groups.

Do you believe it is morally correct for Liverpool to continue the sponsorship deal with them?

The deal has been in place over 10 years and during this time they been done in the US, UK and Europe.

And that has made my day, I didn’t know that. liverpool sponsored by a group that supports terrorists.

Joking aside and I am trying to be serious, I have said for a long time football in its present format stinks. I don’t know what I have a loathing for THE Second most. Owners taking money out of football, players getting greedy, agents, UEFA, FIFA, Premier league, VAR.
But what I really really have a loathing for is fans that have a blind rose tinted loyalty to there holier than thou clubs. None including mine are whiter than white.

Simples. Don't condone morality and take a high ground when your team has history of its own and is clearly not without receipt of money from foreign governments whatever nice name tag you try and attach to it

It’s been said before Homer. Don’t throw stones in glass houses. Surely to god when you take the moral high ground and type something for the world to see and read. You know people are going to respond and look at your own club. If it is not whiter than white ( your club) you know it’s going to be highlighted. So how can you defend it?
I cannot defend my club re 115 charges, but I can understand why they “may” have broken rules.
Ironically, the very clubs, Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and others through there “ protect the status quo” are stopping clubs like City and Newcastle injecting more money into the game at the hope of them winning more trophies.

Personally I think City have just won by drawing 2-2 . Bottom line any rules the Prem league have got wrong is an own goal. What I don’t understand is back in the olden days the butcher ran the local team.. His sausages helped pay for the team. Now the butcher sells a mixed grill and that pays for the better team. But all of a sudden certain teams don’t like the butcher.

Have a look at the split in the teams within the premier league that are split in support of City, some clubs like the rules as they are and then there’s the odious clubs owners that do not support City but support the league. In that I mean Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham all have *** housery owners. Google the picture of the owners of Arsenal, Liverpool and Utd having a burger in America discussing City.

Quite frankly football at the moment stinks. And the smell ain't coming from City

Whats that about throwing stones

And you constantly look to justify the potential rule break but stating the rules are “protection”

The very rules that Man City themselves also on multiple occasions have voted in favour of

Chelsea and Nottingham Forest charged for failing to control players

Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players after a mass confrontation.

www.bbc.co.uk

“Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players after a mass confrontation during Sunday's Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

However, no action will be taken against Nicolas Jackson after the Chelsea forward appeared to slap Forest's Morato.”


And it’s time for me to do my best Cilla impression…..

SURPRISE SURPRIIIIIISE

I’m not surprise they didn’t charge Jackson - both teams no doubt were always going to get charged for the incident. Will be just a fine at the end of the day

Nah me either. He plays for one of the Protected Six after all.

That’s not the reason - the video wasn’t really conclusive in regards any touch etc

Lol

Even if that were true (which it isn’t), you don’t have to make contact for it to be violent conduct.

How???

Regarding the noise around Cole Palmer prior to the game at the weekend, someone on a Nottingham Forest sub on Reddit said that the media has “sucked all the bone marrow out of him through his ****”

Couldn’t have put it better myself and I imagine this has contributed to him winning this award.

Who else would you suggest? The pool isn't exactly full of candidates

Well Bellingham was the key player leading up to the Euros , Palmer didn’t start a single game in the Euros

Started once in 12 games including friendlies

Scored 2

Kane scored 6

Bellingham 3

Bellingham shoold get it

 

[Pin-seeker]

True,but how many games as he actually started in that period?

So much for taking at least a year out of the game. Wonder if its a stepping stone towards the national team job

 

[Neilds]

As recent winners include Adam Lallana and Kalvin Phillips, maybe the public don't know much about football when they vote.

Didn't see the voting form on here. Apparently we are all experts
