Can't picture that happening here somehow lol

Ridiculous. This would only happen here if we were 2nd and only behind the rs on goal difference, when their last 3 games would be against top 5 clubs and our last 3 games were to be against already relegated clubs. THEN it would happen.

This x 10!

errrmmm what? why can't they just play the remaining games once the mourning is over. Also share the league cup if the final can't be played. Drawing it from lottery is ludicrous. Imagine our only league cup win being because we won a flip of a coin.

Or if our neighbours fans went on the rampage abroad, just as we where about to enter our first ever European Cup as it was then

Does that mean that all remaining games are "Thai d" (tied)?

Sorry I'll do one!

I'm in Thailand now. Sadly, I doubt too many people here care. They all mainly support Liverpool or Manchester United. Monday night in the bar was horrible, Liverpool fans everywhere.

Just read that the Thai FA have banned Aussie fans from chanting ahead of their upcoming qualifier.

What a weird bunch of people. Get on with your lives you utter weirdos.

I assume the game is in Thailand?

Would be quite hard to enforce otherwise

Yes.

And fans are to wear black Grey or white. No bright colours are allowed. I kid you not.

When you see someone in a Liverpool shirt, you see someone in a Liverpool shirt.

When you see someone in an Everton shirt, you see a fan.
