They produce 120 minutes of utter rubbish at home against Stoke and still manage to land on their feet and get through.

I just really hate football sometimes.

They conceded four girls to a crap team on Saturday and still emerged with three points.

The Satanic pact has been renewed.

I knew of that but not playing Irish Catholics is up till 80's that's next level discrimination stuff against the Legion of Liverpool fans over here. Remarkable.

And yet.. they sing Fields of Anfield Road - the irony is completely lost on them on so many levels. An Irish Catholic anti-British protest song reworded and sung by a majority Protestant crowd. Hilarious, absolutely hilarious and embarrassing.
 
As soon as Moss walked over to that Stoke lad with the last pen I knew that was it,that was the only spot kick that happened with,I knew that was it then,oh and Flanagan,should have been booked defy before his yellow card,Stoke should have had the rest of the half and extra time against ten men,even then they would worm their way through I suppose though:(
 

.......I wanted them to lose, I wanted them badly to lose but I don't think they were particularly fortunate. They conceded an off side goal but won fair and square in the shoot out with some fine penalties and a great save by Mignolet. I'm frustrated that Stoke didn't really force the issue and make their superiority pay by scoring a 2nd.

It's up to us now.

This whole sectarian thing is total rubbish. The reason they signed no Irish players is because there wasn't many decent ones or it just didn't happen.
And when there were some good ones in the 50's we signed them because they were in the 2nd Div or the players didn't get spotted

There was no policy

Tell em @Groucho, you're the man with links and such on this hoary old load of tosh

The rs are guilty of a lot but not that.

Neither club are or ever have been sectarian, despite efforts of Celtic and Rangers fans to affiliate both of our local clubs to their causes.

For a start, both clubs grew from a Welsh Methodist church which is neither Protestant nor Catholic. There is no tangible religious split between EFC and LFC, the Irish following we attained in the '50's was largely down to us having quite a large contigient of Irish players, much in the same way we have gained a lot of US and Auzzie fans from the two Tim's in recent times. It is then mis-attributed to a religious split through largely inaccurate and uninformed opinions. It also assumes that all Irish people are Catholic, which is innacurate and may be insulting to some.

For example, my family were in the Orange Lodge until the '60's, yet all die-hard blues since at least the early 1900's, possibly before. Indeed also, our very own and dear St. Luke's is Church of England. Assuming that either of our local clubs are involved in religion is plain wrong.

I'm sure there were the odd few incidents but nothing anywhere near the scale that Glasgow sees - luckily, Liverpool as a city put that to bed long ago. If you're choosing your football team based on religion then I'm afraid you're failing at life. If that's ok folks, I'd now like to draw a line under the largely non-existant topic please.

from an unbiased perspectitve.

Last night was the first proper time i had seen klopp's liverpool play. Tactically they are good, high tempso, always moving the ball forward and looking to create a chance quicker and get it into the box. the fact they cross the ball more due to their striker is another sign klopp knows what he is doing. all in all from the manager persepctive they are actually not bad.

the problem lies with the players they have, they are all so poor compared to their price tags. I could run a list off of players who looked terrible last night, too many average players grouped together. Benteke running channels as well as being the target man made no sense, firmhino invisible, midfield had nothing to it, lallana poor again. It was almost as if you pull a few players out and put better ones in and liverpool look like they could threaten to be a good team. the squad needs gutting again which will cost them a lot of money to do so (silver linings here)but it's not going to be an overnight job for them.

looking at stoke, they were decent but feared what liverpool could do which cost them. when they attacked they looked dangerous but they were far too reserved to do anything other than hope to counter all game which even drifted out. Only stoke are to blame for why they arent in the final.

(side note- liverpool are nasty snidey so and sos now it seems, a few tackles and bookings were just horrible and done to keane/viera type would see them knocked back down the tunnel if they dared to do it to them).

Shaqiri looked poor as well, Allafey from what i saw looked the real talent in their team. He is the player we missed out on, although similar to mirallas so probably not.
