Good luck to them, I'll mock them for most things like any right minded person should but never understand poking fun at celebrating success it's what this crazy sport is all about.

He's made a big impact at the club during his time so if they want to show their appreciation when he's leaving at a high point rather than waiting for it all to turn to shit then go for it.

Personally I'm hoping the new guy gets pressured into playing 'the kids' rather than being allowed to build his own team.

So you weren't around back in the 60's, I seem to remember being on the steps of the Royal watching the bus go by.
Dave Clark 5 had been on the stage in the Royal sometime around then.
Got a photo on the wall of the bus with the cups and a shield covered in flowers and SHINING in letters. Peter Baker holding FA cup, Ron Henry another and Cliff Jones holding a third that appears to be made up.. Think it's Les Allen there and I think the back of Bobby Smith's head chatting to someone behind them.

I'm a 91 (April) baby, so really haven't had a parade to go to. I'm not going to judge any club for having them if they win something.

I’m not baby I’m coming up to 78 this year so I’m probably just nearing old. It’s
just the way you worded it made me think you were younger and hadn’t seen us win 🏆.

It would be the right thing to do. I for one think there should be a petition for Tierney to not be involved in their games.

Then again we might get him more often and he's probably the most incompetent official we have. Which is quite an achievement.

That Tierney drop ball will quickly be brushed over because it’s benefited one of the biggest clubs in the country, and gone against a team in the bottom 6, but to my mind it evens out the farcical miscommunication that went against Liverpool at our place. It’s a black and white factual/officiating error, and with only 2 minutes of stoppage time left to play, you can say with near certainty that without that error Liverpool don’t win that game (unlike the incident vs us when they would still have had to play 60 minutes with 10 men).

With Liverpool fans being so balanced and having a burning sense of fairness and justice I thought they'd literally be jamming and flooding social media demanding that Forest should be having a replay of the game or them having 2 points deducted. Maybe I'm a bit premature maybe I've done them a disservice maybe it will all come in over the next week or two !!!! Will they be setting up a petition and crowdfunding page and demanding it be debated in Parliament ????

If they lose this title by a point will they say ah that's fair enough as mistakes even themselves out or will they conveniently forget this clear refereeing blunder at the City Ground and focus solely on the game they lost at our place and as per the previous paragraph, will they set up petition, and demand the outcome be reversed and try to force a parliamentary debate about it ???......

While it's worth noting that this is Mark Clattenburg the Nottingham Forest employee speaking, not Mark Clattenburg the unbiased ex-referee, what he said is right. Also, unlike the headline suggests, he never said the goal should be "ruled out", he was just saying that it might not have happened in the first place but for the howler by Tierney. For all we know Liverpool might've nicked the ball from the Forest drop ball and gone right up the other end and scored anyway.

Klopp never gets any questions on the calls that favour his team. The one we get against Liverpool Ange and the players have to field questions about it for at least a week. The favouritism Liverpool get in the media and then with refs is getting real old.

Their story is always told from their perspective. Just checked BBC’s website and they’ve an article about Liverpool’s mentality as their top football article, with Clattenburg’s comments and the controversy itself a few stories down.

Sky seem to be focusing on the controversy though so good on them (for once).

Yeah. I don’t really buy into any massive media bias as such, but I think there is a lot of mythology and legend about Liverpool and that plays into a certain narrative. Best fans in the world, the Kop, the Boot Room, Istanbul, You’ll Never Walk Alone etc.

I do think they have a special status among many neutral and non Premier League football fans. That’s been my experience of it anyway.

Yep, look at this



Notice the lack of article breaking down these errors and whether they are subjective/objective.

As far as I know there has been one objective error (against us) and there were still 60 mins to play.

Also notice how they don't say how many have gone for them as there have been plenty of subjective calls for them such as penalties won by dives (jota/szobozlai) or a "foul" on Alison despite it being far weaker than keepers like vicario have endured. And that's off the top of my head

Douglas Luiz should have had a second booking yesterday and so banned for next sun. These things happen. 2 Forest players had the ball in their box and gave it back to Liverpool. A boot up the pitch and it’s a draw. For3st just whine all the time , wont be missed next season.

Technically I have seen us win 2 trophies (I don't count FA Cup 91 due to being born a month earlier). Was too young to remember the league cup in 99, but I still cherish 2008.

I'm not quite sure Haaland has quite refuted what TAA is saying there. The reason TAA hasn't '...had that feeling' is because it's not as regular an occurance at Liverpool as it is at City, and therefore of course it's going to mean more when it happens.

And put in another way, few of us fans care if City win the league, or the CL, or the FA Cup, because we just write it off. There's no romance, no underdog story, no success in the face of adversity. It's just another trophy which will be forgotten within 12 months, bought with endless riches. We hate it more when Liverpool (or Arsenal, or Chelsea) win something because we know it actually matters - and we love it when Wigan win the FA Cup because we know their fans will probably not see that again in their lifetime.

I think what Haaland is saying - the players don't see it that way - they care about winning, and don't get caught up in the fact that their team has a financial advantage.

Yeh, to be fair I don't know what context TAA was speaking. If he meant for the club as a whole, players, staff, fans, then I think he's right. Definitely agree that the players are all fully committed, though at the end of a career I'm sure that one trophy means everything to the player.
