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

[davek]

The Premier League plans to have fans in grounds at the final two rounds of matches this season, says chief executive Richard Masters.

Up to 10,000 supporters will be allowed into stadiums from Monday, 17 May provided the government is able to stick to its scheduled roadmap.
To maintain a competitive balance and ensure all 20 clubs get to play a home game with fans present, a round of fixtures will be shifted to 18-20 May.

WTF? "Maintain competitive balance"...when that 'kin lot had games at home when neither City or United had them before December.

They had attempted arson on their list of horror, now we can add arson, NEA

So did we.

But that said, in all the things that are important, virus related, the PL running to get fans in for 2 matches is just not worth the hassle. Let the normal summer sports be used for the trial runs, and hopefully we can have a normalish season next time.

And they are total gobshites. (back on topic)

Got to agree with this. It’s an open invitation for the virus again, just forget it and enjoy next season with full stadiums hopefully

Kopite 'journalist' Barney Ronay's latest puff piece on the RS in the Guardian. Worth a read just for the cringey comments.

Liverpool's slump: a story of burnt-out brilliance and the need to go again | Barney Ronay

A team built prudently to Jürgen Klopp’s designs and geared to thrive on the finest margins have struggled to find more wiggle room where rivals have more space to fail

www.theguardian.com

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Utter bunkum from start to finish.

I'm not even going to try to dismantle that - I wouldn't know where to start. Even Kopites will be blushing over the volume of excuses and nonsensical praise.

That is defo Exhibit A in any trial of the medias infatuation with the Establishment Club.

We were never title contenders.

Closer than they are.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Seen that guy post similar on the Echo and other media pages, suspect he doesn’t really give a rats about the amateur game either

 

[anxiouswarrior]

as a United fan i shed no tears for Liverpool but surely they should have strengthen last summer when they were strong , they have had dad luck with defenders but everybody as injuries , thje only team capable of overcoming this are abu dhabi , this is the new reality

 

[Yarrgh]

We were never title contenders.

Still we had an unfair advantage. If we pip West Ham to a European place then that's something that they would be understandably aggrieved by.

 

[Jimishorts]

A simpler time

 

[rochdaleblue]

Yes & they (liverpool) should not be exonerated either, they should have called match off or at least been more aggressive in questioning it.

But what gov have managed to do, dividing and blaming locally / elsewhere is simply criminal - they screwed up, they leads to 10's of thousands of excess deaths and they are getting away with it because they are getting the vaccine right.

Not one minister has been made accountable for their handling of the pandemic. The decision to allow this match and the Cheltenham festival to go ahead was negligence of the highest order. It’s as though tens of thousands of lives lost in addition hundreds of thousands of jobs, has been forgotten because of this vaccine. I read that the Tories are still ahead of labour in the opinion polls. It really makes you wonder how this government has managed to brainwash people to such an extent.

What an absolute bunch of deluded bell ends...

No, the London clubs were open for more home games than Manchester clubs were.
