WATARUUUUUU!!!
WATARUUUUUU!!!
Adding even more subjectivity into the game for fans to cry about isn’t the answer.
People complaining are more of a problem than refs getting subjective calls “wrong”.
I bet it felt great when you finally beat them to it
That’s the worst part, it felt unreal since it happened during Covid.
Liverpool’s run over those years was:
17/18 - struggle for 4th again
18/19 - Finish in 2nd place on 97 points with only a single loss the entire season which came from a ball not traveling 11 millimeters further and oh yeah the team that single loss was to got 1 single more point than you to win the league
19/20 - Be insanely dominant playing wonderful football, get 26 wins out of your first 27 games, only to have Covid shut down the whole fucking planet, have the league go on hiatus only to come back rusty and lose 2 more games and get 3 draws but still win the league for the first time in 20 years but oh it’s in front of zero supporters and they’re not allowed to celebrate with the team.
20/21 - Covid hangover, have a difficult season where you get mocked for the “worst title defense ever” (not true)
21/22 - OH LET’S JUST FUCKING REPEAT THE 18/19 SEASON OK?!
Yeah…it all feels weird.
For any team to challenge they need to go 38 games playing the best football of their lives because as we know Pep’s teams rarely slip up and are relentless.
And then they still beat you by 1 point even after having an insane season.
It is a form of entertainment after all.
It is first and foremost, a form of competition. As soon as entertainment takes the stage over competition, it is a completely different thing entirely.
The reason sports exist is competition first. The reason we find sports entertaining is because of the competition.
Hell I think sin bins for other infractions would actually help football. One of the biggest problems with the game right now is refs being afraid to make a big call. Give us a sin bin between yellow and red and suddenly many of those “big calls” become easier for a ref to make. They aren’t affecting an entire game, they are rightfully punishing someone for 5-10 minutes.
That was an incredibly well taken penalty.
Don’t forget one of those seasons was one loss away from an undefeated season and that loss was by 11 millimeters to the team that finished 1 point higher than us in the table.
It’s a bubble for sure, but I don’t expect that bubble to burst, instead I expect that bubble to cause the sport to seek even richer owners…like the kind who have money that comes straight out of the ground.
I NEEED a gif of Bruno and the Copenhagen player both making kicking motions at the exact same time for the ref.
Why does it feel like Kelleher’s ability just plummeted off a cliff in the space of 6 months?
I’m convinced it’s my fault. I told 3 people on /r/soccer that he was good.
This felt like the most ineffectual double yellow I’ve ever seen. Like Young just decided at the beginning of the game he was not going to see half time.
When the Liverpool Youtube channel did a video where they had players on a plane trip show off what songs they were listening to, Gakpo was listening to Gospel music.
I completely understand what Klopp is saying.
BANGORS ONLYYYY!!!
