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

Virgil Van Donkey - a figure of frustration all game playing short passes, stumbling around and complaining
Robertson the Rat screaming at Graham Potter second half as he *failed* to hand the ball to him when the ball when out for a throw in
*Trent* the RB who isn't a RB but is "still the best RB in the world" throwing March to the ground for denying him 'the right' to take a quick free kick

The wheels have fallen off.

The drugs dont work, they just turn you into a monster.

Saw that,unbelievable the different "rules" that apply as soon as referees set foot in that god forsaken pit.

They really need to drop the sentiment and stop playing with The Late Virgil's upright coffin in the centre of defence....

In related news, hands up all those who reckon his latest Keystone Cops display will still see him ensconced in the goon Crooks' team of the week?

I remember him getting MOTM against us for some reason, when we stopped them winning the league, why I don't know. Keane stopped them from scoring, VVD didn't do anything other than clear balls that were straight at him, other than a powderpuff pass from Sigurdsson he did nothing. When teams actually have a go at them, they tend not to do too well.

The defence looked terrible:

The two FBs cant defend...and now they cant attack; VVD is finished...completely finished, and Konate looks like a dog.

You cant win a title with tat like that...and dont get me started on the pony MF they have.

They are literally a team kept near the top of the table by one man - Salah...and he looked like a headless chicken yesterday. Let's hope his incredible form has finally plateaued and on the way back to being just good-to-very good instead of world class...when that happens for a spell that lot will sink like a stone.

I'll stick another question into this mix. Why has Matip suddenly found himself not in the team?
 

Went over to RAWK earlier with a big bag of popcorn to read the 20 pages of wailing and gnashing of teeth following their game.

The absolute highlight has to go to one swivel-eyed lunatic, frothing at the mouth about fans leaving with five minutes to go, who called for people leaving early 'without a good reason' to be punished by losing their season tickets for two games! Images of the absolute scenes as people leaving are grilled at the gates by burly minders, forced to provide evidence of a genuine emergency! lol lol

Best of all, he prefaced it with how he'd 'heard on the BBC' about these people leaving. So someone not even going to the game or even watching it via a stream is calling out actual paying fans for leaving after 85 minutes!! You honestly couldn't make it up... Marvellous stuff...

Bet he was another one of these fans that mysteriously went home and away round Europe in the 80s then suddenly stopped going in the 90s.

Either that or another one who hangs onto his season ticket for years selling it on sites to Norwegians and Irish and complaining about how there are hardly any locals at the ground. I've worked with quite a few of these people. They go through the massive effort of renewing when they don't go, knowing that selling their ticket and ripping of fellow fans will pay for it several times over. Not much of a "fan" are you if you do that?. One wanted an absolute fortune for Gerrard's last game against Palace. He must have been livid when Covid meant they lifted the title in an empty stadium.

The "I went in the 80s" crew have no proof that they did and you ask them about away grounds and they can't give you any specific details of anything like train stations, pubs or driving routes. I asked one lad what station he used to get off at for Crystal Palace and he couldn't say, actually said it was a ten minute walk from Euston!. One said he went the European Cup final in 1984 and brought in a reprinted program as it was immaculate with no bends or colour fade. Weirdly he didn't have his ticket stub.

I always ask these wasters, "who was your manager before Shankly"? This is always met with a blank look as they look at their watch.
I then offer, " oh hang on, wasn't it Kevin Lewis", This is usually met with, " ah yes, that's the one, forgot for a moment".
Then I say, " no, silly me, he was your inside forward".

One fella I know in his 50s who luckily I barely bump into these days kept referring to Paisley as "Bill Paisley". Then joked about it saying he does it on purpose to get a reaction.

He originally thought Paisley was from Northern Ireland because he is from a place beginning with "County". He then backtracked saying he was on the wind up but was blatantly lying. Also used to get random foreign players names wrong for "comedy value". Used to call Riise "Johnny Arna Rize" and Westerveld "Westerloo". He would regularly shout this out in a pub then look around for a reaction. Obviously no one thought he was funny.

He was like a fat unfunny scouse version of that Arsenal fan on the Fast Show. I also never knew him to go to one game and would just watch every single game in the First National pub in town.

Said that Hyppia was their best ever centre back ahead of Hansen and Lawrenson. Best one was that Neville Southall was overrated as he couldn't stop Liverpool winning the double in 1986. If he'd remembered anything about that season he would have known that he got injured two thirds of the way through the season playing for Wales against Ireland then missed the rest of the season. Even some of his RS mates were embarrassed at that one. Just really bad weirdos.
