What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

[Misfit]

So it was literally a miscommunication on the offside? Not good of course, a bit Inspector Clouseau, but good grief hardly a human tragedy that rivals oh I dunno, say, Heysel.

Did the ref do anything wrong?

the only thing he got wrong was the goal.

Harsh to blame the ref for that,
The linesman and VAR got that wrong. Ref didn’t see the footage, if he had he would have identified Romero playing him on. he was following what he thought was the correct VAR decision.

 

[Nayim60yards]

It's going to take him a day or 2 to translate it

And in the meantime dogs all over England are sitting with their ears up because of the sheer amount of high pitched Scouse whining...

Sorry, there were so many incidents yesterday, lol. But I thought the ref went over to have a look at the screen? I'm clearly wrong!

 

[yiddopaul]

Liverpool were unlucky, put up a good fight. We got a lucky winning goal. And I couldn't be happier! We move on. The Scousers on the other hand have had their week ruined

I really don’t get it with the red card. Why are there people on tv and online making excuses for it. He lunged, went over the ball and nearly caused serious damage to Bissouma. It’s a red card.

If he had broken Bissoumas leg I’m sure everyone on tv would be saying “definite red” but the severity of the injury has no bearing on the colour of the card.

On topic, fuck Liverpool. Fucking “Victims FC”.

worth noting Lucas got sent off for the exact same move last season.

Noone said it wasnt a red

 

[elfy]

Jones red "no intent!"

Romero handball "Intent doesn't matter !"

I think that's the problem, Andros Townsend tried to say it yesterday after the match.

Both decisions are correct, under the current rules as written.

The problem is the rules are bollocks, its been happening year on year but they are so finicky and are trying to be exactingly precise. It's ruining the game IMO, not VAR, not refs, the dumb rules.

According to the letter of the law today, it was a red and a penalty. A common sense approach says for me, Jones gets a yellow because he was making a genuine attempt to play the ball, and no pen as Romero could do bugger all about it.

Same with offsides, if the lines drawn get down to the length of a toenail: that's level and onside. Forget all this silhouette nonsense, day light between them and its offside, level and its on.

Anyone got access to Grand Old Team? ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3
They have an Echo article about a witchhunt, Part 3 no less, which I am sure they are having a good laugh at even if they lost at home to Luton. In fact, it is probably cheering them up.

Their non-stop defense of Suarez, which continues to this day even after the Chiellini bite, even after Carragher distanced himself from those pathetic shirts, is such a damning indictment of that fanbase.

Actually they no longer defend Suarez, which coincides with him celebrating his strike against them for Barcelona… And weirdly, Liverpool made a statement not too long after their fans started booing him that their defence of Suarez re the whole Evra racism incident was wrong and they shouldn’t have taken his side.

They stuck up for him when he bit someone and they stuck up for him when he racially abused someone. The turning point? Scoring against them. I think that sums up Liverpool as a club.

 

[rossdapep]

Yep.

I used to think it was just scousers.

But then I know someone who;
- Only ever wears red or matching Liverpool away strip coloured polo shirts.
- Insisted on everyone on his side wearing red ties at his wedding.
- Changed the number plaque on his house to 'Anfield House'.
- Only ever buys red cars.
- Bought countless Liverpool shirts for his stepson so that he ended up supporting them too.
- Will fall out with anyone who criticises Liverpool in the slightest (I Said Liverpool got away with one to him a long time ago and he went mental and started a tirade about Spurs)

He is actually a decent lad.

But something about that club means they take them on as part of their actual embodiment and they HAVE to show people its their team.

Its all quite sad actually.

Liverpool fans always rise to the top.

Their is literally no other fan base like them. It's extrordinary how they go on, delusional takes a whole new meaning.

 

[bomberH]

the only thing he got wrong was the goal.

Wrongly gave a yellow card to Jota (first yellow) and Udoghi. Technically he didn’t give Udoghi a second yellow when he was fouled later and waved an imaginary card….

He also didn’t book Klopp for being a **** in general. So that’s 4 things.

What if Jones' 'genuine attempt to get the ball' results in Bissouma getting a broken leg (which could easily have happened)?

The first yellow to Jota was an accumulation yellow, he’d made a foul that he could’ve been booked for moments earlier.

 

[Thenewcat]

I find it amazing at how Liverpool fans always play the victims, when 39 people died at their own hands: “After an eighteen-month investigation, the dossier of leading Belgian judge Marina Coppieters was finally published. It concluded that blame should rest solely with the Liverpool fans.”

Heysel Stadium disaster - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

it’s amazing how much more often they bring up Hillsborough rather than Heysel

Honestly let’s just leave points scoring about tragedies that occurred 40 years ago out of it. There’s plenty to laugh at now

I disagree. The rule is fine in this regard. The problem with saying “he was making a genuine attempt to play the ball” is that 90% of tackles are genuine attempts at the ball. This is what was annoying me about Neville and Redknaap going on about intent and maliciousness. I think Neville even said at one point “he’s not trying to break his leg” well fuck me, that’s good isn’t it. No players go in trying to break a leg and that’s why the overwhelming majority of tackles are genuine attempts to play the ball but some are reckless, like when you slide in from a 30 yard sprint (Vicario in NLD) or if you go over the ball like Jones did yesterday.

He def should’ve got a yellow earlier but no way was the foul he did get booked for a yellow. Not even for an accumulation. In my opinion of course.

If I remember right, Jota had already got away with one before the Udogie incident.

Yep he did, but the one he got booked for wasn’t even a foul. With that said, only a tool would commit the second tackle while on a yellow.

I think they're a bit difficult to judge. He ran across the back of Udogie and made slight contact which led to Udogie tripping himself. I think it was a 'totting up' one due to the previous one he got away with. Doesn't matter now anyway.
