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

Your knee will be as strong as it ever was after ACL surgery but the issue is that you are very vulnerable to hamstring injuries because they use some of that tendon to graft your knee.

VVD is in major trouble in that respect as he relies on pace.

the ACL is as good as new but there are other ways of using a surrogate ligament, I had two patella tendon grafts, I think carbon fibre was an option as was donor ligaments.

From the club that turned fans into customers... players are now assets.

I think, the big flaw in his plan is he wants to sue Everton. For an institutional level preconceived plan to damage assets. Righto.

It was a Pickford rush of blood to the head, you utter tools. He's mad and rubbish. Just an unlucky accident.

But keep it up, we're very amused. You crazy crazy customers, you.

Maybe we should counter-sue for Souness on Nulty. Quid pro quo...

Can you or any other Irish Blues explain this, because I've never really understood Liverpool's appeal in Ireland, other than proximity and ease to get to Liverpool. But as you say the Irish fans are even worse than the Scousers. For obvious reasons I can understand why there are so many Celtic fans, I can understand why there are so many United supporters in Ireland they've had so many great Irish players. We've had players like Sheedy, Kilbane, Coleman, McCarthy, McGeady, they are just the ones I can think off the top of my head, I'm probably missing a few obvious ones. I can understand why Arsenal would appeal to Irish fans as well. I don't know whether it's just glory hunting or what.

But then, although it's not relevant now so much, Liverpool had strong connections to the Orange Order and Rangers fans certainly view us as being a Catholic club. Some fans on here, I can't comment I wasn't born that Liverpool fans were sectarian up until the 1980s. Also I'm probably overthinking here, but we tend to have more supporters in the North End where people were moved from Scotty Road an Irish enclave , places like Crocky, Noggsy, Dovecot, Canny Farm, Fazakerley, Kirkby, Netherton all have more Blues than in the South End.

I remember taking a mate of mine to Goodison to watch us when on leave from the Navy and making a weekend of it as he'd always wanted to go to Liverpool.
Die hard Rangers fan.
He couldnt believe it when he saw we had a church outside the ground !

Great points you make about some of our Irish players though mate.
 
The RS have been told they can't travel to Germany for their first leg game against Leipzig on the 16th Feb. A German interior ministry statement said Leipzig have been told that the fixture "does not meet the requirements for an exception."

UEFA said it was "In touch with both clubs" about the tie.

They were a successful side in the 80s and people latched on to them. They then had Heighway and Whealan and this perpetrated the myth of an Irish connection, of them being the Irish team. I always felt like there was a nasty undercurrent to them back then, I used get a lot of "same blue as rangers" "proddie [Poor language removed]" stuff from them in the late 80s early 90s when I was just a kid with no understanding of it, I didn't care then and I don't care now. Religion has no place in sport, I wouldn't watch Celtic if they were playing in my front garden, nothing to do with religion just that club and league are not worth watching.
So those clowns raised another bunch of clowns who grew up listening to the same rubbish and now they have more clowns and are teaching them the same things again. So your at a point where the truth and history doesn't matter, all that matter's is what they have been brought up believing, that Liverpool are an Irish club. None of them know their history or the history of anfield or anything associated with the club. All they know is the 80s on and Heighway, Whealan, Houghton, Lawerenson, the pigeon botherer who all played for Ireland. I do enjoy occasionally setting them straight and always finish with the lines so without Everton FC there is no Liverpool FC which of course makes ye the [Poor language removed] sons of Everton Football Club, at that point anything could happen then

Professional athletes won't be using their hamstring to replace their acl...thsts what i had done. You lose half of your potential muscle that way. They get a cadaver graft. They can also get it from the patellar tendon...i don't know if there is a downside to that...it is a newer procedure than the hamstring one.
