The Footie Thread

[Neilds]

Can we expect the fans who let the flares off to be banned?

Or are the Wembley stewards as useless as every other stadium?

I am just getting lost by the rules of this game now. The ref is not having his best game. Gallagher should have been booked for his late challenge, Caceido can go in late and dangerous and does not even give free kick away. Not a red card, but definitly a yellow under the current rules.

Robertson also lucky to not get a card

Are you having a laugh????? When did the rules of football say that you have to move out of the way of players. If that is a foul then you are going to see penalties given every time there is a corner.

Good excuse to disallow the goal.
Endo just stands there he dosnt do much.

Not a decent striker on the pitch here finishing is shocking from both sides.
you don’t get time to take a touch in the box at this level

Robertson should have been booked. He wasn't, and free kick only given after he kicked Chelsea player 2 or 3 times.

Officials let a lot go, has its benefits but also its frustrations

League Cup is a waste of time cup though isn’t it.

Not at all, it is Part 1 of the Jurgen Klopp Memorial Tour and Liverpool should be allowed to win

The standard of football as been really poor.
MOTM?
I couldn’t pick one.

Can't say that anymore. It is POTM

VVD maybe, has stopped almost everything Chelsea has thrown at LIverpool. Sad when it is a cup final and probably a CB is MOTM, POTM or what ever we are meant to call it now

With cctv, named ticketing and police spotters they really should be easy to pick up. I've been in the away end at Newcastle when Liverpool fans have let flares off, everyone gets frisked so where are they hiding them , and you nearly always see them getting taken away by the police.

I've asked my cousin, season ticket holder, why they still do it when they will get a ban and he just says 'stupid'. Nothing more complicated than that .

Me neither it’s dire.

yeah I don’t disagree with that.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Has Enzo even had a kick?

League Cup is a waste of time cup though isn’t it.

We won it lord knows how many times over the last decade. Yes it is. If the Quad is not on after today the treble is still on and even better.

Joking aside Liverpool could set up their own injuries ward at Liverpool General.

Maybe the inhalers don’t cure everything

 

[clubchamp98]

yeah I don’t disagree with that.

Kelleher for me

 

[SaintHacker]

Edo is clearly offside *and* affecting the play. Correct decision.

If he was onside, then it's fair game and a goal.

100% this. If he impeded the keeper from an offside it would have been a foul without even needing var, so what difference is it impeding a defender?

 

[Swango1980]

O dear Gallagher. First time shot might have been the way forward there

 

[MadAdey]

Kelleher for me

not a bad call either

 

[MadAdey]

time for a youngster to make a name for themself hopefully

 

[Lord Tyrion]

This was so poor I turned over to watch the last 10 minutes of the rugby. I won't give anything away just in case but quite a story and great tension.

 

[MadAdey]

That’s some brave subs there , a lot of young lads coming on but a lot of players playing on empty tanks

I like him bringing Danns on. Lots of pace, definitely not what you want as a defender after 90 minutes
