The constant needs for EVERYTHING to be about them within the fanbase winds me up as well. Had it last night with Sarrs goal. Somehow twisted to how Alonso scored a better one. Nobody cares your a national embarrassment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 On 06/08/2022 at 23:02, Southie_Owl said: Liverpool are what annoy me most about modern football. The first FOUR news stories on the sky sport app right now are about Liverpool. FOUR. As I said in a thread about the lionesses coverage - theirs is deserved. The media love-in for Liverpool annoys me Don’t forget though, they were going for FOUR trophies last season… & won only the 2 least important ones. They’re also going for FOUR again & will no doubt fail again, but it will dominate the sports media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not having the full Classified results read out properly at 5pm on the radio after that great music. The media are only interested in the too six clubs, it's disgraceful. Attendances are routinely omitted in newspapers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridportOwl Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 6 hours ago, punkskaphil said: I think the point is that, now we have VAR to look back at the passage of play, if the flag goes up incorrectly it'll stop the play and potentially prevent a legitimate goal. By allowing the attack to develop even if the assistant thinks it's offside, they won't be adversely affecting the passage of play. And you can't really blame the linesman for an injury occurring - the players have to be responsible for their own actions/movements on the pitch. In the moments of an attack the players often don't look for the flag first, and they don't always hear the whistle either. In any case, they've actually altered the guidance to officials for this season, with the now flag only being delayed if the call is very tight or if there's an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. No VAR in the Cymru North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helmut_rooster Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Sky and Liverpool again. Ok so this time it's a coincidence: Just switched the TV on right now and it's Liverpool V Newcastle 4-3 from the 90's incidentally the same thing that was on when I went to bed last night. I was greeted within 3 seconds to: "Brilliant Liverpool goal" Channel changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better now. What was the point of a rule where the ball had to go forward, when 99% of the time it would just be tapped forward and passed backwards anyway? Now teams can get the ball where they want without having to have two players at the centre spot in order to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 “Expanding the global brand” and the resulting fans across the globe calling each other mancs and scousers on Twitter despite never having been anywhere near NW England. Social media teams that just tweet about how they “go again on Tuesday”. This is why I love Josh Windass (who doesn’t do this) happy to get into a full debate with fans, so refreshing. The sheer hypocrisy of it all. The World Cup in Qatar, bent as hell money making its way throughout our game, etc. Bang average players earning millions. I have no problem with the very best earning their share of this huge industry. But to see mediocre Championship players earning more than what a CEO of a FTSE 100 earns represents how fizzed up the inflation has got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighworthOwl Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 "GOAT" everyone who is at the top of any sport now is the GOAT. No matter what the sport. Football, MotoGP, F1, rugby... they are incomparable to the past. They can be the best of a generation (even that is highly debatable with different positions and leagues) but you can not compare them to players of the past like Puskas and Cruyff who would have lumps kicked out of them on mud bath pitches and having smokes 20 fags that morning still changed the game with skill and ability. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I’ve just noticed another one that’s only been a thing this summer but is driving me insane: ”who has had the best/worst transfer window?” I didn’t realise that was a trophy but who actually gives a f ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCOwls Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The media are the worst thing about modern football Id be personally happy if they took the prem off to that euro fantasy keague thingy, too the media and click baiting social media users with them, and we can all get back to having a proper game of footy Division 1, 2, 3 amd 4 with none league below all back to normal, it would be bliss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just now, vulva said: Thing is, he never used to be. He’s spent that long in Liverpool, he’s actually turned into one of them. You might be right. Just complains about everything. If you'd asked me several years ago who I preferred out of him and Pep, I'd probably say Klopp. But in the last few years Jurgen has become such a whiny ballbag and he seems to think the entire footballing world should revolve around him and Liverpool. You then throw in what is a largely lapdog media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
