The Footie Thread

[Liverbirdie]

Fact remains that money is the guiding factor in football. Being the best costs the most.

The clubs belong to the owners. They decide what direction the club takes. The fans can think they have a voice but in all honesty, they don't. The owners will try and make as much mobney from their investment as they possibly can and they all see this as an opportunity to do so. The 'soul' of the club is irrelevant when they can make a stack of cash

So we just give up then?

Not where I live we wont.

think his successor is keeping his head down having been slung out of the pub earlier

Probably not the correct thread for this comment and need to be very careful about getting political but, having seen the video, what gives Keir Starmer's security (or that of any other politician) the right to man handle the owner of a business on private property, especially when that private property is the owner's own business premises.

Brilliant from TAA he should be playing for England.
Oh hang on !

That was the first thing that went through my mind.
What a Liberty.
He should sue him.

The location is irrelevant if the security believe he is under threat and it would be the same for any political figure assigned Police protection.

Might be just me but I find the CL really boring.
Some good games later on in the knockout ,but mostly crap possession based football.
Playing top teams will lose its appeal if it happens to often.

Wonder if the rumours about Klopp leaving a few weeks ago have anything to do with this.?

He repeatedly asks him to leave .
Starmer just stood there shocked I think.
Minder dosnt really restrain him just stops him getting past.
But it didn’t look good as a PR visit.

He doesn’t ask him to leave until Starmer has entered, they let him speak to him outside and you hear Starmer say shall we go in, that’s when the manager should of spoke up, if you watch he suddenly remembers he can bar him and runs after him and the Security guy (possible Police) steps in as he perceives a threat.

Sneaky stamp by Salah that ?

Big result that

Can only drop to 5th now if Chelsea win

I wonder how much all this "big 6" talk is going to anger all the other teams into putting all they can for rest of season to prove a point.

Well said.

Never seen the outside bit until 10 news.
Playing to the cameras a bit?

The defender is pulling his shirt.
When he goes to ground it does look a stamp.

He missed another golden chance to kill the game then Leeds equaliser a min later.
I have never seen a Liverpool side give the ball away so much ,it’s a problem now.
Thought Leeds deserved the draw, we seemed to sit back and play on the counter second half , but the strikers are missing chances to much now and it will cost us.
But if the Super League happens it dosnt matter really.

Will we have an ESL thread next season for fans of the big 6?

It was a clear stamp. Llorente pulling his shirt doesn't justify being stamped on.

Liverpool could have been out of sight after an hour, but were lucky to hold on for a point in the last half an hour.

I thought the interviews after from Paddy and Milner hit the right spot.

Not justified anything I said it looked like a stamp.but pulling his shirt does unbalance a player and the ref should have given a foul.
One of the reasons players dive.!
