Cant believe the bullcrap that the Echo will print concerning that club. Some fat bell splashed out on a Fitbit at dinner time and found out that his heart rate went up during the penalty shootout on Tuesday . How is that news in any sense of the word, "old pork pie" in the story maybe bypassing Maccies on his way home for once in his life would be news, but your heart rate going up when you watch a footie match ffs...........

Liverpool fan proved just how stressful it can be to watch the Reds - by wearing a heart rate monitor
to last night’s game.
Dad-of-one John Doyle’s heart rate climbed to well over 100 beats per minute as he watched the
penalty shootout against Stoke City.
But his heart rate dramatically peaked at around 118 bpm as Joe Allen took the winning penalty in the shootout - a huge jump from his heart rate at kick-off.
John, 32, has been going to
Anfield for “years and years”, since he was a kid, and says he only bought the monitor at lunchtime yesterday.
He then decided the League Cup semi-final would be the perfect place to try it out for the first time.
The IT manager from
Rainhill said: “I could feel myself getting more stressed out as the game went on, especially with the offside goal and all the stupid mistakes we were making.
“I could definitely tell I was getting stressed during penalties.”
Despite last night’s victory, John said that he thinks going to Anfield is probably bad for his health with the current state of the team.
He said: “It’s a good job I didn’t have a blood pressure monitor on as well.”
He is going to Saturday’s
FA Cup clash with West Ham and plans to see if the effects of last night’s drama were just a one-off or a regular result of watching his beloved Reds.
He said: “I am going to keep wearing it at matches. I will be there on Saturday as well and we will see how that one goes - hopefully it’s a smoother evening.”
It’s not the first time John has made headlines -
in 2013 he became a YouTube sensation with a stunning ability to pop out his eyes.
