Football

Le tiss was my footballing hero growing up, by god he is an idiot now. He is fully down the rabbit hole on Covid,

He posted a tweet with a picture of Anne Frank with accompanying text which said something like “the people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following it.”

Wasn't he anti-BLM as well?

He was against their 'Far-left agenda to smash capitalism'
He only wore a BLM badge because Sky told him to*

• They denied it
  

Channel Islands. Nazi. It's all in plain sight.

Maybe the real reason he never moved to Chelsea was he was too right wing.

Some people would be well advised to stay away from all forms of social media.

Wonder what you have to do nowadays to get sacked working in media.

Don't be ridiculous.

Yeah, I suppose he would have been more central in that organisation.

Let’s see how UEFA ignore this.

Seems the real ones at fault are Rangers ...

Sparta Prague have asked Rangers to help stop what they called “xenophobic attacks” on the children who booed Ibrox midfielder Glen Kamara, report PA Media.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard earlier revealed the club were in the process of contacting UEFA about the treatment Kamara was subjected to during their 1-0 Europa League defeat in the Czech Republic on Thursday.

Kamara’s every touch was booed in a stadium largely occupied by schoolchildren, months after Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela was banned for 10 matches by UEFA for racially abusing the Finland international.

Kamara, who was suspended for three matches for an alleged assault on the Czech international in the Ibrox tunnel in March, was sent off to huge cheers on Thursday after picking up two bookings.

The Letna Stadium was originally meant to be closed as a result of racist abuse by Sparta fans towards Monaco’s Aurelius Tchouameni but UEFA agreed that around 10,000 fans – mainly schoolchildren with some accompanying adults – would be allowed in.

In a lengthy statement, Sparta said: “It is absolutely unbelievable that after a match we have to watch innocent children being attacked and face unfounded accusations of racism.

“Insulting children on the internet and in the media is unacceptable, desperate and ridiculous.

“Stop attacking our children! Our club will proudly defend our children – our future and our pride. Slandering children on the internet is extremely cowardly.

“We are seeing unprecedented xenophobic statements against the Czech Republic, its citizens and even its children on social media.

“You are describing the behaviour of children incorrectly, arrogating to yourself the right to judge the expression of emotions of six-year-old children who have no idea what racism is. It’s an impertinence.”

It's a bit like in Aliens when the big nasty evil alien is flailing about desperately to protect its tiny nasty evil alien spawn. But that analogy would make Gerrard into Ripley, and that's frankly insupportable.

Sliprey?

Another day. Another article about how much of a joke my club has become off the field.

After reading it I still don’t have any sympathy towards Keogh. His view is obviously going to be favourable to him, but he still made all the decisions he did and found himself in the situation he did.

He was a great servant to the club, but ruined it so quickly.

The sooner DCFC can get a new owner and we can reset, the better. I’m sick of us being in the papers everyday for another crisis or off-field revelation.

You get used to it after a while...

I think the teammates running off is the worst bit about that. Apart from thinking you could drink all afternoon and then drive.

Paul Tierney clearly on Milners Christmas card list after today.

Penalty waved away and an obvious second yellow.

yeah bottled that 2nd yellow. Was a good game and Salah's goal was great. Liverpool did well to get back in to the game as city were bossing it.

PL needs to have a word with PGMOL to try and be at least a little bit subtle.

Cracking game to watch. Can't believe even G Nev wimped out of the MOTM decision

Either Pep was playing the victim card again, or he was having a go at the lack of atmosphere in the Etihad:

"It's a yellow card. It's a yellow card. It's clear. It's Anfield, it's Old Trafford.
In our situation a City player is sent off. It's too much clear.

I mean, he was a victim of a shit ref not making the obvious and correct decision. Same goes for VAR not challenging the foul by Milner for the penalty in the first half too…

I haven't seen the game (though I'll probably watch MOTD at some point), I was just quoting Pep's post match comments. By all accounts, Milner deserved a second yellow, but VAR doesn't look at those, do they?
My point was that Pep implied that the crowd might possibly influence the ref at at Old Trafford or Anfield, but it didn't happen at the Ethiad. It's all a bit conspiracy theory though...

Just watched the highlights of the Lpool/City game. Great fun, great goals, great tackle at the end, comical reffing. Can see why Guardiola was doing his nut.

I will confess to have rather missed most of Andros Townsend's career after he scored a few sweet goals for Spurs at the start of it, but the bloke is a genuine breath of fresh air. Attitude is perfect, works his boots off for the team in every game, never hides, direct, decent turn of pace, speaks well and is getting a few goals as well. Given the horrifying sums of money we've spaffed on some incredibly average players, I cannot believe we got him for free. I'll save eulogising Demarai Gray for another day.
