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

Blaming '(insert whatever) is in their DNA. When they got stuffed 5-1 in Amsterdam in 1966, Shankly blamed the 'fog'. Seemed like the 'fog' only applied to them that night. And, as if lfc had never played in fog in England, they knew what to expect but simply would not admit they got well and truly beaten. The icing on the cake was in the return leg the score was 2-2, getting beat 7-3 on aggregate.

The lfc dominated media have until next week, to put even more pressure on officials, to get back in line and award them dodgy decisions that enable them to pick up points. That is, unless the officials have grown sick and tired of the lfc dominated media that can ruin their careers and there's a collective push back.
 

Remember when mane got sent off in a 5-0 demolition by City, for basically kicking the keeper in the face at head height, and there was a week-long inquisition into the 'scandalously unfair' decision across the media?

Ederson was carried off after eight minutes of treatment

Neville chimed in, saying 'Mane was attempting to play the ball and Moss had "ruined the game" with the decision

Nah, nothing to see here lads. Outrageous...

Now, whatever happened to that ref Jon Moss? Oddly disappeared since. Career probably ended by the decision.

Love a good conspiracy but this isn't entirely correct.

Moss went on to referee for another 4 years after this and retired when he was in his 50s, which is actually quite late for a top fight ref

I would say he would stand on the pitch in the place of a referee, he never actually did it. One of the worst I've ever seen. I remember a game v City where he was particularly awful.
 

Heard it all now. After Anfield was unceremoniously rejected in favour of our ground for Euro 2028, the actual reason for it was not because the place doesn't fit UEFA requirements (and ugly), it's because according to loads of deluded reds on social media they won't let the S*n newspaper in come the tournament and we will.

Rewriting history. It's still a RS thing.
 
They'll milk it as much as they can, like they milked the decision at Spurs a few years ago. Then, low and behold they start getting very favourable decisions. Strange.

My RS mate last year was always on about how the premier league, the FA and refs etc did their utmost to stop them trying to win the league and he’s now on about how they are all at it again this season.

Yeah, fair point. That was kind of an aside though. The main thrust of my post was the fact that Mane launched himself five feet in the air and kicked Ederson IN THE HEAD, and there was still a national outcry about it! :D
 
*Liverpool to Host Alternative European Tournament 2028 at Anfield: A Celebration of Sportsmanship and Inclusivity**

In a surprising yet ambitious move, Liverpool has been chosen to host the Alternative European Tournament in 2028, set to take place at the unique Anfield Stadium. This unconventional gathering promises to showcase teams from around the globe, including representatives from Russia, the USA, North Korea, Israel, Vanuatu, and the fan-favorite Wrexham, all while emphasizing the socialist values of Liverpool’s founder, John Houlding. With notable figures like Donald Trump, Vlad 'Mad Lad' Putin, and actor Ryan Reynolds in attendance, this event aims to redefine the spirit of international sportsmanship.

The tournament, which is touted as a platform for inclusivity and friendship, is expected to be a grand spectacle that celebrates cultural diversity. Liverpool's Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram affirmed the city’s commitment to making this event memorable, stating, “We aim to roll out the red carpet, quite literally, to ensure that all our guests experience the warmth and hospitality Liverpool is known for. This unique event is an opportunity to showcase the city’s cultural richness and strong transport links.”

The opening ceremony, hosted by Prince Andrew, will feature a series of parades organized by the Orange Order and Ed Sheeran clones symbolizing a commitment to diversity despite the tension that sometimes characterizes such cultural events. Attendees can also look forward to traditional singing performances, with anthems like “Tommy’s Scarf,” “Slots Bounce,” and the dubious “Walk Alone When We Don’t Like You Anymore” expected to resonate through the stadium, further highlighting the distinctive charm of Liverpool’s football culture.

Embracing tradition, the tournament promises entertainment for all ages, including Jimmy Saville tribute acts at the Kop fan plaza, which organizers hope will appeal to both children and international visitors. In addition, a unique health initiative will provide free asthma diagnoses and police-assisted bus attacks that aim to engage visitors in an unconventional yet humorous way.

On the pitch, the tournament will see the USA captained by legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who expressed his excitement about leading the team. “It's an honor to be part of this remarkable event at Anfield, the home of English rugby,” Brady remarked, as he prepares to showcase his leadership skills in a sport known for its physicality and strategy. Coach Joe Rogan chimed in, “This is a unique opportunity to bring together athletes from all sports, transitioning to franchise endorsements.”

As preparations ramp up, the tournament faces some challenges as well. Notably, young star Trent Alexander-Arnold has declined to participate, choosing instead to play at Wembley. This decision has sparked conversations about heritage and loyalty to local clubs. “It’s disappointing not to have our local hero represent us at Anfield” long-time Liverpool supporter, Bjørn Thornsen remarked, echoing the sentiments of many fans.

As the date approaches, Liverpool is poised to embrace the world of alternative sports through this pioneering tournament.The underlying message of friendship, inclusiveness, and celebrating diversity is set to resonate with sports fans globally.

In conclusion, the Alternative European Tournament at Anfield is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience, combining sports with a celebration of socialist values. With a diverse array of teams and a star-studded attendance, Liverpool is ready to make history once again, proving that the spirit of sportsmanship transcends borders and unites us all. Whether by the songs echoing in the stadium or the camaraderie shared among cultures, this tournament is destined to leave a lasting impact on the world of sports.





Have to say AI didn't do to bad, scrambled some of the quotes and corrected Mordor to Anfield. 7/10.

“ When they got stuffed 5-1 in Amsterdam in 1966, ”
Wasn’t that the game where some Toffee came up with the legendary newspaper headline “ Ajax kills all known germs “

Note for younger leaders “ Ajax Powder” was then a leading cleanser with bleach , now discontinued. Ajax the club were just emerging as a
an European force with Cruyft in their team.
