The Footie Thread

If Liverpool want to win the league they have to beat Chelsea, and playing against 10 men. It will be there best chance.
That aside I am seriously missing something. Liverpool fans are bogged off that Liverpool bosses have not spent owt bringing in new players. But at the same time they have enough in the team/ squad to win the league. So why be bogged off. Personally I think the squad is light.
Top three I see as Chelsea, City and Utd. In any order. Fourth is up for grabs excluding Norwich and Arsenal ?

I don't disagree with you in terms of being in a good position. Chelsea are looking good, Man City could've done with an Aguero replacement but will still be strong and Man Utd could be challengers if Ole gets it right. As a neutral I've got my fingers crossed that those four drop points and take points off each other during the season to keep it interesting for as long as possible. I think the three I've mentioned, plus Liverpool, will be the top 4 at the end of the season in whatever order, let's just hope for a close title race.

Ole won’t get it right, sadly. We are entirely dependent on the best players in the squad doing it with individual performances and not because of the way we play as a team.

Liverpool have had to condemn a section of their fans again after more homophobic singing.

Here’s something I don’t get; when someone decides they’re going to sing something offensive like that, how don’t they have the self awareness to worry about what the people around them who don’t join in think of them?

2nd running.

I think they’re too stupid to be worrying about what others think.

This with knobs on. There is no intelligent thought process going on upstairs, they are in their own bubble of stupidity.

Fans get warned and asked to stop doing it , then play the team within the next couple of games , add booze and rivalry and the thought process dooesnt compute and they ignore all warnings and chant the same rubbish again. It will take a few being thrown out for it to sink in and then we hope it reciprocated across the grounds when it comes to the many disgusting chants some fans use

I think now we have a society where people don’t want to get involved.
To many times it’s the ones trying to stop morons fighting / singing get hurt.
So they just let them be morons .

Saw this too often in my time with the cops - the number of times innocent bystanders tried to help out, only to end up bearing the brunt of someone’s aggression. It’s no wonder people have become reluctant to intervene.

Agree with that… walking to the ground yesterday there was a small group of 3 very p155ed big lumps singing horrible songs at the top of their voices, real cringeworthy stuff, majority of people say nothing, a few feeble minded types joined in.

That’s about it really at the end of the day

Still have those inbreds that use the football as a release and think they can act how they want - especially when booze and drugs are added to it. Football will never get rid of that element imo

Just seen Motd - wonder what Everton fans are thinking of Rafa at the moment - Dacoure looks a beast

And Richarlison ???

The Asda Spider-Man incident did show that no one moves in when there, but everyone says they would have moved in when watching it on Twitter.
I am 0-1 on civil courage, happy to take evidence in my phone but not getting beaten for a stranger again.

I don't blame anyone for not getting involved for the reasons you and others have given. Clubs have cctv everywhere though, stewards all over, individuals linked to the seat they are in. How hard is it to locate, identify, ban and charge these people? This needs to be done and publicised so that other planks thinking of doing the same start to get the message that they are not welcome at football if they hold and vocalise these views.

To approach that dirty subject - VAR

It’s been three rounds of games now and have we finally seen the Prem use the VAR far better ?

Offsides done quicker
Refs going to the screen quicker

Doesn’t at the moment seemed to have made a dramatic negative impact on the game over the start of the season

Yes, far closer to what we all hoped for. A major improvement on last year.

The only complaining voices are managers trying their usual distraction methods from lost points, poor results etc. They are looking hollow this year, last year they were a little less hollow.

I don't remember reading a var will be the death of the game post on here so far this year. Plenty posted last season.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

And going to add - England have another young highly talented player coming through in Harvey Elliot - quality on and off the ball , doesn’t look out of place in the team and is shining. There is a couple more coming through as well. Future is bright for England

Yes it’s being used much better this year and combined with the Refs letting play flow more it’s a much better watch. All’s they need to do is tell the linesman to get his flag up when he knows it’s offside and it would be spot on!

Football does not need much tinkering with.
