Liverpool

[Eric'sCollar]

Good to see no one was hurt.

 

[Saoirse.]

No excuse for it really. Not even any real rivalry to hide behind, just mindless violence.

There is no excuse for it- you are correct, but you are jumping to conclusions here, it was definitely mindless thugs and scumbags who carried out this attack but it says nowhere in the report that it was Liverpool supporters that did it, it just states that it happened outside Anfield. Don't tar people with a brush until it has been proven.

Yip, it's not certain to be football fans, but I'd take my chances with the assumption of it with it being an oppo coach attacked outside a football ground where the support has previous for this type of thing.

Quite a coincidence.

Well then, no point crying about Webb not giving yous anything yesterday, he probably 'assumed' Young dived, I'd say he took his chances with that assumption because he has previous for it...

 

[redman5]

Quite a coincidence.

Not a coincidence at all. The incident happened on Townsend Avenue, approx a mile or so away from the ground. The culprits were not wearing colours. They were more than likely the type of scum-bag miscreants that populate most of Britain's inner-cities & live off this type of publicity.

Yip, totally the same thing. Bear in mind that I'm not a judge or jury like Webb so my assumption is meaningless. A bit like your point there really.

About the most blatant 'calling into question the integrity of the match referee' you'll see.

 

[peterstorey]

Not really, he was pointing up the stupidity of appointing a 'home' ref to any fixture - you wouldn't get an English ref in an England game etc etc

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Man's from Bolton.

Is that why there are no premier league refs from London? Too many 'home' fixtures?

 

[Eric'sCollar]

Are referees from London not allowed to ref games in London? Surely that would be a weekly occurrence.

 

[peterstorey]

There are no refs from London, they're all biased northern wankers.

 

[Eric'sCollar]

Ah, that makes more sense now.

 

[gasmanc]

Dem cants darn sarf ain't learnt ta speak the proppa lingo yet son.
Refs need to make their uselessness clear.

"A spokesman said the fan, whose injuries were not life-threatening, is refusing to talk to detectives"

Hmmm, either the stabbers were Carra's mates that come from Oldham or there's something fishy afoot. Not good for the club from any angle though.

Two stitty news stories in the course of a week. Like said they could both be completely unrelated but not nice media at all.

 

[M'n'M]

Nope. No excuses for that. Scum.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Nope. No excuses for that. Scum.

TBH based on completely nothing other than my opinion I'd say there's less chance of the stabbing being football related than the shit with the bus.

 

[M'n'M]

You're probably right. Still scum of the earth mind you, football related or not.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Oh yeah, but I wouldn't be so quick to stick the boot in with this as I was with the other incident. Thankfully you don't get many football related stabbings in the UK.

Here's the Sky interview with Gerrard from last night. It's actually very good, Shreeves was bearable for once.

 

[gasmanc]

Your keeper will be the difference come May lads, he is fecking useless.

You've already updated 2 threads. Wait till the game is over mate!

The bollox he drops will continue after this game despite the result mate, he's a liability, you can't have that at back.

If he turn it around then I'm blaming you!

 

[JaffyJoe]

Gerrard is past it.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Just stuck a fiver on a draw, so no comeback is on.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

C'mon Villa, for fecksakes - we could do with a little help here.

 

[gasmanc]

If he turn it around then I'm blaming you!

Ha they really should but the SAS are looking a bit SOS, Mignolet is a recipe for disaster even so.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Watch the cnuts win now.

 

[Dumbstar]

Gerrard is past it.

Soooooo past it. At least we can drop him finally with no fans disagreeing.

 

[gasmanc]

However, he will lead England to disqualification come the Summer, will ultimately sum his season up I imagine.

 

[RooneyLegend]

Rodgers needs to have a rethink about playing both sturrige and suarez as a front pairing when they are using a flat back 4. None of them do any real defensive work so it'll leave at least one of the flanks open to opposition attacks(also due to them not really having 2 wide players)

They could just revert back to the 3-5-2 they adopted near the beginning of the season and had some success with.

 

[ItsEssexRob]

I think today was the moment no one could argue about Gerrards demise. Still good for Penos though, and the experience. A game Liverpool would have had on paper as a win for them goes begging, so the title does now look very distant, but top 4 is still on.

 

[Glanville95]

Was he that poor? I've worked most weekends lately, so missing a feckton of football unfortunately.

Pretty bad. Although the performance of both Gk's masked it a bit.
