  1. Imagine Concert Square on a Saturday night if we had that law here in Liverpool.
  2. Unless Suarez does something brilliant, Liverpool are unlikely to score.
  3. Think we need at least one more as I think Udinese will score.
  4. West Yorkshire's Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison is to retire in the wake of the Hillsborough report. He announced he planned to leave the service on 31 March 2013. Last month Sir Norman was referred to the police watchdog, the IPCC, over his conduct following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. At that time of the tragedy he was a South Yorkshire Police inspector who attended the match as a spectator and later took part in an internal inquiry. In a statement Sir Norman said: "Recent weeks have caused me to reflect on what is best for the future of policing in West Yorkshire and I have now decided to set a firm date for my retirement." 'Nothing to hide' He added: "I hope [my departure] will enable the Independent Police Complaints Commission to fully investigate allegations that have been raised about my integrity. "They need to be fairly and fully investigated and I welcome this independent and formal scrutiny." Anne Williams, whose 15-year-old son Kevin died on the Leppings Lane terrace, said the findings of the recent report left Sir Norman with no choice but to retire. She said: "I think the whole lot of them who have been involved for these 23 years should all go for the hurt that they have caused us for 23 years. Ninety-six Liverpool football fans died after a crush at Sheffield Wednesday's ground on 15 April 1989 "I don't think he would have retired if it wasn't for the Hillsborough report." Sir Norman's current contract with West Yorkshire Police was due to end in 2014. His referral to the IPCC came after complaints from members of the public following the release of previously unseen government papers about the disaster at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on 15 April 1989. A crush during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest resulted in the deaths of 96 people. The complaints alleged Sir Norman had been "involved in the production and supply of misleading information for the various inquiries that have been undertaken into the Hillsborough disaster". Sir Norman previously defended his role in the aftermath of the disaster, saying: "I never altered a statement nor asked for one to be altered." He also said: "I really welcome the disclosure of all the facts that can be known about the Hillsborough tragedy because I have absolutely nothing to hide." Before he is pushed? Strip him of his pension.
  5. Was hoping for 20 to 25 million and that he would go abroad.
  6. A very talented musician and a true gentleman
  7. Watched Suarez last weekend in the Masters Vs Stars Charity game in Miami. Suarez scored a fine hat-trick but was absolutely fucked after 75 mins. Could barely run. Playing in the Olympics will get his fitness back and he will hit the ground running for the start of the season.
  8. Or the opposite of this. You need to speak to someone on another team and you look and wait until they are just sitting at their desk doing nothing, not on phone etc. As you approach them they go "No. I'm on my break. Come back and talk to me later" Yeah and when you are not on your break, you'll be "Too busy to talk now" Everyone should be made to take their breaks away from their desk. If I am sat at my desk I am working. Provided I am not on the phone, I am never "too busy" to help someone.
  9. "It just highlights the point in the standard players' contract. It would say that racist abuse, if found guilty, will be classed as gross misconduct and a reason to terminate a contract. Found guilty by whom? A kangaroo court put together by the FA who rule on probability? Or found guilty by a court of law? And if 'found guilty' is it mandatory that the club terminate the contract?
  10. Oh I'm off to Man United with my shotgun on my knee..........................
  11. What a goal. Surely Real, Barca, City or Chelsea are going to come in for Falcao soon.
  12. For 65 mins Liverpool were woeful and gutless. You can't give Chelsea a 2 - 0 start and expect to win. After that, it was too little, too late. As for the was it/wasn't it over the line, that's why you should have goal-line technology. Cups are won and lost on those decisions.
  13. Crouch's hat-trick against Arsenal and Rush's away to Villa were both very good and Fowler scored a couple of excellent hat-tricks in his time, but that beats the lot of them. 3 absolutely stunning finishes.
  14. It's an old joke but it's a good one. Little girl loses her mother in Tesco and a security guard asks her 'What's your Mum like?' Girl replies 'Big cocks and vodka'
  15. I love haggis and have it at least twice a week. My favourites are haggis and onion gravy or haggis and chicken curry.
  16. Later With Jools Holland is the modern day version of OGWT
  17. Glen Ord. Expensive, but gorgeous
  18. Phil Dowd has been named the Ref for the FA Cup Final. Good news? Or Bad?
