  5. Report by Dave Usher A day may come when the courage and resilience of this team fails. But it was not this day. The unbeaten run is eventually going to come to an end. But not this day. This day they fought, and they won. Again. The ‘mentality monsters’ just never give up. With three minutes remaining we trailed 1-0 and Man City had just come from a goal down to lead 2-1. The gap at the top was down to three points and we were a defeat next weekend away from losing top spot. Just like that, two quick goals, three more points and the six point gap is still intact. These boys are fucking incredible, the relentless bastards. The narrative will be all about ‘lucky Liverpool’ leaving it late again and scraping a win without playing well. It’s bollocks though. We should have won this game 6-2 or something daft like that. It was one way traffic and contrary to a lot of things I’ve read, I thought we played pretty damn well. In the second half anyway. The first half was shite but even then we could have scored two or three. We did score one, only for it to be disgracefully taken away by a jobsworth linesman and Martin fucking Atkinson. I’ll get to that later. We started slowly and Villa had a shot on target in the first minute and Wesley then missed a free header after ten minutes. They were bang up for it and the way we played did little to dampen their enthusiasm. We did have some promising situations but the final pass was often terrible. Sadio in particular kept over-hitting everything to Mo. He’s quick, but he’s not that fucking quick. Mané had our first chance of the game when he headed narrowly wide from Henderson’s fine cross and then Salah forced a save from Heaton after being picked out by Virgil’s raking long pass. Sadio then gave away two free-kicks in the pace of a few seconds and Villa scored from the second. I thought it was offside and even after watching the VAR I couldn’t be sure either way as there were so many bodies in that line. If Trezeguet was onside then he was probably the only Villa player in the box that was. We held a good line and caught all the others, but it would appear that he just about stayed on the right side of our line and was able to score. That being said, from what we now know then Atkinson could have altered that line to make him offside if he wanted to. He looks dead level with Henderson from what I can see, but I can’t tell where his armpit is so it’s difficult to know either way. Alisson could have done better with it too I thought? We’ve conceded the first goal too many times for my liking lately, but it’s never cause for panic because we usually come back. I wasn’t worried but I was annoyed, because I fucking hate Villa. They’re really not important enough to justify the level of animosity I have for them, but it is what it is. I just can’t fucking stand them. I’m not alone either. The idea of the unbeaten run being ended by these non-entities was something I just refused to contemplate. Besides, there was so much time left there was no cause for alarm.

  11. You talked in the past about our players not being game smart. About not closing down games when we were in a position to do so. Disrupting the flow of play by going - and staying - down easily at opportune moments. Generally being wise. And we're definitely better at that than we were. But we're not with refs. It's almost as if Ferguson's hold on who could and couldn't referee their games never happened. Those granted permission to officiate would absolutely ref in their favour. It absolutely won them countless games and therefore titles. It was probably his greatest strength. We absolutely need to kick up a stink about it. Ferguson did it. Shitcoat did it for the chavs, just not as well as Slur. Shit reffing happens to us too often and it's never dealt with. Had we lost or drawn this game, it'd of course be down to us not getting the job done, but when we score legitimately or are due a penalty that isn't awarded by the same refs time and again, that's not down to our players. Our club needs to shout about it, win, draw or lose.

  12. We're still talking about Jim Beglin's injury over 30 years later, but that's okay because it effectively ended his career. That Bob Paisley sap who called it the worst injury he had ever seen at the time though - what a loser!

  19. It's ruined my day. Although hamfisted l, see where stacks is coming from. These are professional athletes playing a contact sport. Injuries are an occupational hazard. Top flight players will continue to be paid tens of thousands of pounds a week whilst receiving the best medical care and rehabilitation money can buy until they're ready to go back to work. We're not talking about a scaffolder breaking his arm, being on statutory sick pay for months whilst being on an NHS waiting list for rehab. There's no need for everyone to send thoughts, prayers and 'YNWA FORM A LIVERPOOL FAN' every time a player is stretchered off.

  21. The worst part of that whole thing, is we're talking about centre of gravity and such shite for a law that says you can't be goal side of the last defender when the ball is played. It's a rule designed to stop goal hanging and we are now completely and utterly missing the entire spirit of that law in some bizarre bid to rule goals out of the game and let the computers take over. I just don't get what they're trying to achieve. If the law was ever designed to need to be so accurate, we wouldn't have expected the lino to be looking down the line and watching the ball being played at the exact same time. We've managed to get on ok with offside for about 150 years with some slight variations, but always based on its best guessed management from the lino was enough to stop goal hanging. Now we want millimetre accuracy and need a players centre of gravity to prove it? Just fuck off. In my lifetime it has never been more controversial and created as many refereeing talking points as it has this season, but we don't seem to get any more right than we did before and the game is shitter for it. I wish they'd just fuck it off.

  22. I’m due to get my kidney transplant tomorrow. Me and my auld man checked into the hozzy today. had one op cancelled at the end of September due to a fuck up over booking surgeons, which was a bit of a bastard as I had given notice at work. Luckily work let me rescind and I finished up last Friday. had a bit of a rough week last week, as they found some blood in my urine in last set of tests, which resulted in an unwarranted finger in the hole, along with canes down the bellend, though thankfully it was nothing to prevent surgery going ahead. 3 months of sitting on my arse watching the unbearables beckons, just a dodgy next 48 hours to get out the way first, hopefully the morphine is up to scratch and will settle with the spiritualised / L’Épée soundtrack I have planned.

  23. I took the birds lad to his rugby on Sunday morning. It’s under 8’s, they only play tag rugby and tackling is not allowed. The club have an inclusivity policy and they have a kid with Downs Syndrome on their side. He was head and shoulders above anyone else on his side or the opposition and weighed at least double that of every other kid there. I’m watching them all warm up and whilst he’ll never make a sportsman in his life, had zero hand/eye coordination and couldn’t catch a cold he had more enthusiasm than anyone. It was also lovely to see how encouraging and supporting all his teammates were and not once did anyone say anything negative towards him when he dropped the ball yet again. About 5 minutes into the second quarter and I see the coach call him over and tell him he’s going on. He also spends a couple of minutes reminding him of the rules, ‘you have to pass backwards, you can’t tackle, grab their tag, enjoy yourself and have fun’. It was actually quite moving to witness, as soon as he was on the pitch his teammates were all cheering him on and passed to him straight away. Although he knocked on. The game restarts and their opposition player ran straight towards him, only for ‘Jack’ to completely forget everything he’d been told on the touch line only a few minutes earlier and absolutely fucking smash a kid less than half his size with a crunching tackle to make a Maori proud. He then stands up proud as punch and does a dance over this little scrawny runt who is led on the floor looking up and seeing stars. I had to walk away from the pitch I was laughing so much and was in physical pain where I couldn’t stop.

  25. Isn't there a second debate that she is welcome to join ? I imagine ITV would suggest that as the Tories won 318 MP's , Labour had 262 MP's and the Lib Dems had 12 MP's at the last full election , there seems very little reason for them to waste the viewers time.

  27. There's issues with the decisions because there are issues with the process. And there are issues with the process because the whole thinking behind it is based on the usual flaws with refereeing and football in this country: the powers that be are utterly convinced of their own infallibility that they see it only as a tool that will prove just how good a job they're doing rather than as something that'll correct the multitude of errors that are made. Think of the FA's 100% conviction rate for citations, think of the PGMOL declaring that they assess their own performances over the course of a season and reckon they get 98% of decisions correct or whatever. They think they're doing a cracking job so VAR doesn't have much to fix, so it's set up so. Take Firmino's goal. I can half see how the linesman flags it but the second that's seen it should be "aha, that's onside - award the goal. Easy mistake, tight call, but onside." But it isn't, because the first priority is to protect the refereeing team, so they twiddle and fiddle and doctor to find the only slight possible angle where it could maybe be offside, and that's all the proof they need to prove themselves correct. Take Alli's handball. The referee pretty much misses it so the VAR has to look at it 800 times in three minutes to work out the reason why he must have not given anything - "aha! They were both challenging for the ball so that must be why his hands are over his head." It's proper bollocks but I don't really expect anything else from the self-serving and craven bastards running the game. In cricket and rugby there's an acceptance that the officials generally do a good job and the technology helps them have extra eyes and covers them for their human mistakes. That's the thinking behind it and the processes - mostly - work as a result. Football though? Different story altogether.

  32. The last time I felt this pumped after a result was when we won due to that late goal against Burnley and while the Burnley result was due to how surprising that was this was fully expected. I'm friends with what has to be the most irritating Liverpool fan ever he's one of those fans that always forgets the previous result for whatever is happening now. Throughout the whole match he was complaining that we were gonna lose and the race is over while I just kept reminding him that we will come back, I never speak in absolutes because I know that shit comes back to haunt you but around 60 minutes I told him we're gonna win this match at worst we're gonna draw. Around the 86th minute, I felt like a right tit and was ready to give up then Robertson scored just as he started bitching about City taking the lead... While I celebrated the equalizer I was expecting the win and I told him as much, and when that winner went in I straight up told him we're gonna win the league and we're gonna be unbearable as fuck when we do. I never put my neck out like this but this team has made me a believer everything in this match was made to screw us over but we won and shoved our victory down Jon Moss and Martin Atkinson's throat. Fuck the FA, fuck the PGMOL, fuck Fraudiola and fuck Aston Villa

  33. ***SPOILER*** He was the right hand man of the biker VP, the one who's paid Ray to bump off the president. When Ray approached the president he knew what was what and just sloped off round the corner, not wanting to be seen. I think.

  34. That first bit is bollocks; there's nothing wrong with expressing sympathy for a player who's suffered a bad injury. The second part is true enough, though, and unfortunately applies to almost every strand of public life these days, particularly politics. Judging entire groups of people based on the Twitter ramblings of a handful of weirdos, who almost certainly don't represent the majority view (if there even is one), is obviously an incredibly shit idea, but a large proportion of the country seem absolutely mad for it anyway.

  35. Can't help when thinking about horrific injuries like this, about Djibril Cisse and how after his potential career-ender, he worked his bollocks off to get fit and return in time to come on as a sub in Istanbul where he scored a pen and contributed directly to winning No.5. which is the least he deserved for his application and dedication. It's a very different injury, and I doubt if Gomes would be looking to a Redshite for inspiration anyway, but it just shows what's possible.
