ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

A quick check shows we've been awarded a total of 145 penalties in the PL.
So you'd expect roughly 70-80 at home. Therefore 30-40 at the Gwladys St end..

11 doesn't sound believable, unless it is somehow incredibly skewed towards the Park End.
Off the top of my head?, I can think of Unsworth v RS, Lukaku miss v West Ham, Arteta v Sunderland, Beattie v Chelsea, Yakubu v Newcastle.

Shay given own goal
Unsworth against the RS again
Ferguson v West Brom in his last game.
Yakubu miss v Portsmouth
Barmby miss v Coventry in 1998
Arteta v Watford.
Beattie v Sheff united.

There’s no way that stat is even close to accurate.
 

‘Player X’ v Swansea (scored)
The same player who can not be named missed v Watford at that end as well
He also missed one v chelsea and followed up the rebound. Micheal ball did the same against Man City at this end aswell. As I said mate. Nowhere near accurate. Another one that springs to mind is unsworths first miss. Rattled the crossbar against sheff wed
 

…..one thing I noticed in the recent Derby was how quiet it was. They are a club that have lost their local identity, large numbers of season tickets owned by people who sell them on weekly basis to tourist groups. Fans with half/half scarfs, taking videos on their phones, foreign accents, they play in the city but don’t belong in the city.

That model is fine when doing well as the media darlings but it only takes a dip and it could fall apart. I remember the Hodgson days when they couldn’t give tickets away in the pub, locals get used to not going and watching on telly.

100%. Even the long-standing, match-going reds twigged onto this a while ago. They believe that they're losing 'their' club..
