*Shakes head* Everton again.

It’s strange how these things always seem to come back around.  They were all taking the piss out of Klopp kicking off about that gobshite Leicester player injuring Salah.  It wasn’t a studs up classic leg breaker but it was a completely unnecessary tackle where he had no chance of getting the ball and ended up injuring the player.

 

A few weeks later you’ve got a very similar situation with Son (obviously a more horrific outcome) and suddenly they now all agree with Klopp.

VAR was the funniest thing ever when we played the Mancs but now its ruined football and will turn people away from the game. They jump on any of our fans acting knobheads only for their fans to do as bad or worse a few weeks later.

 

Richarlison does far more diving than Salah and Mane as well.

But it's not really a similar situation because of the level of intent in the foul. Choudhury was hellbent on taking Salah down at all costs, which he managed to do. How he wasn't injured far worse than he was is purely down to luck.

 

Son's foul on Gomes was not in any way malicious. Mané fouled twice in quick succession yesterday the second of which led to the free from which Villa scored. Silly fouls to give in the circumstances of where the player was and where they were going, but they were merely fouls. Either time, the player could have been extremely unfortunate to have landed awkwardly and end up with a horrible injury that was in no way proportionate to the foul made on them. In reality, 90-95% of niggly tactical fouls are like this and the odds of that freak injury happening as a result are astronomical. Most will result in the player rolling around a bit, but miraculously recovering once a card is issued, unless it''s someone from City's Angels, and the free given. 

 

As it was a straight red, it can be appealed, as opposed to being a second yellow, so it's good in that respect, and it should be rescinded and downgraded to a yellow.

Feel sad for Gomes, but the bitters can get fucked. Had a gander at their forums and they mention us in every thread, wishing the injury Gomes had would be inflicted on Mane and Salah etc. Such a horrible set of fans, truly the most vile in the country. 

The mod on GoT was at it, looks like he's gone back and deleted it now.  Probably realised what a twat he was being.  Hopefully still off the frustration of it.

*Sigh* Everton have got one over on us. We may have one of, if not the greatest manager in the game; charismatic, charming, tactically astute and who has coached a team with a real identity, on a scintillating run and developed so many decent players to becoming world class, but but *sigh* but they reverse all this by calling him Klipperty. 

 

Yes, by calling Klopp "Klipperty" they are ingeniously destroying him and us by comparing him to a horse noise. When will this abject humiliation stop? His legacy is obliterated just like that, how do we come back from this? Give my head a wobble you say? No chance, it's fallen clean off.

 

A fuckin' horse noise. Oh the humanity.
