Dave I remembered what you wrote when we got the great man - how envious must all those sad bastards be now. Premier League Round Up (Oct 3-4 2015) It’s mad, I’m writing about last weekend’s games but it feels like it was months ago as so much has happened this week. It’s weird watching MOTD and Brendan is still in charge of us, but the worst part of this is I’m having to watch all these jabroni teams who don’t have Jurgen Klopp as manager. Imagine following a team that doesn’t have Jurgen Klopp as manager? It must be miserable as shit. I’d pity the fools if they weren’t all bad “let’s sing about Steven Gerrard” type knobheads.*

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by: • interfering with play or • interfering with an opponent or • gaining an advantage by being in that position The above is an extract from the latest rules from the FIFA Website, that fuck head was definitely gaining an advantage so even though there may have been a touch from Lovren, he was offside at the moment the ball was played, there is nothing else in the rules about offside that back up the crap those knobs were going on with

Great Interview, thanks for posting it, sat down and relived Istanbul again after reading it and it was even better to watch knowing Carras perspective from the interview. Great Stuff - can't wait to see the boys when they play in Melbourne.

When I first saw this on TV I though that he had been mentally committed to the near post and was wrong footed which is how it looked. However looking at the shots above he was in perfect near post position and as such should of only been expecting a far post shot which is even more surprising that he was so flat footed. The shot had some steam on it but he should of shown better anticipation though. He has made some good saves in his recent games and had been showing some good form, but he is an international keeper playing at the highest level, we should expect better. The neutrals would of loved this game and overall I did, a win would of been a great tonic to all after the weekend. Great report as always Dave
