Mourinho, Ancelotti, Hiddink, O'Neil. There's four names for you Anna. I'm not sure you'd have got Jose but I bet you could have made a good fist of getting the others and they would all be suitable replacements. I don't believe a club with your history couldn't attract a manager to replace Rafa.

And we could afford all of them given they all have existing contracts?! Rafa is going nowhere and neither do I want him to. None of that lot would come here given the financial restrictions. Maybe O'Neill would come, but he's a yes man and I would never want him here. I think Rafa has stayed due to his loyalty to the fans. Anyone else would have walked by now.


Mick, i'm still waiting for your tactical football manager genius on what you'd have done differently last night?

It just makes me laugh Anna that you seem to think that people who can afford to go to all the matches, somehow have more right to an opinion than people who can't. Until last season, you watched a lot of matches from your sofa, did your opinions not count back then? Last thing I want to do is have a go at you, but you're always posting shit like that, and it's annoying.

My point is Keef, that people who go to the games tend to know more about what is going on rather than taking their facts from sky pundits and the press. You mix with the locals and matchgoers and you tend to get inside info. Everyone I know who goes, wants Rafa to stay yet those who watch it on the telly want him out. What does that tell you? Nothing to do with money or being a better fan. It really pisses me off when I put my heart and soul in to this team and people who don't seem to grasp "the facts" are hounding Rafa out.

And I do take it as you having a go so offence is taken. You chose to spend your money on your family, I spend mine on the match. Everyone has a choice.

Nailed on penalty for me, luck is one thing, but this wasn't lucky.

Thats news to me Anna - Martin O'Neill a yes man - you are having a laugh.

Look at the EDF Super Liga FF table and see evidence my management genius - I have brought a poor team from bottom to 6th - so I think you have to accept I know what I am talking about when it comes to management. I'm on your tail.

Well if you've taken offence then I'm sorry, but I still don't think that terrace chat is "fact". Simple fact is, the owners are liverpool's biggest problem, but they are hard nosed businessmen, who definitely aren't going anywhere because the fans tell them to. So, if we just accept that they own the club for now, and the foreseeable future, will Rafa take the club further, or is he as far as he can go, until a mega rich owner comes along? Personally, I don't base my opinions on what anyone says, I just watch the match, or the highlights, and decide for myself. I don't want Rafa out, and don't think there is anyone to replace him just now. However, I don't think he's the best manager in the world.

Do you actually have to touch someone for it to be a foul? If the Liv player hadn't jumped, Carsley would certainly have made contact with him, no? The fact he didn't touch him was because the player hurdled the tackle. The tackler definitely didn't get any ball, did he?


Ngog could have left his foot dragging, like experienced penalty winners do, and drawn the penalty that way. Or he could have made a massive effort to stay on his feet, probably losing the ball as a result of Carsely's slide (that never won the ball).

No you don't have to touch a player - but I think for it to be given as a foul it has to be seen as a foul would have taken place if the opponent had not taken measures to avoid contact. In the case of Ngog it wasn't remotely anywhere near being a foul. The weird thing about Ngog's dive was he was always in control of the ball and if he hadn't decided to go down it looked like a simple pull back for Yossi to equalize on edge of 6 yard box. Liverpool were pushing very hard at this point in the game and the momentum was such that I felt an equalizer was inevitable. But as Anna said we've been denied a lot more cast iron penalties this season than ones awarded for cheating.
Apparently a foul can be given for "intent" but how do you prove "intent"? I still think it was a blatant dive and I'm not convinced that the was hurdling the challenge, if so why didn't he just leave his foot in to eliminate all doubt? Sorry blatant dive for me.

Contact is not necessary Ted - "kicks or attempts to kick"/"trips or attempts to trip" is an offence - if there is no contact its seems to rest on intent.


Laws - see page 32

Interpret that how you like. Keef chose to get married and have children. I chose not to therefore, I can spend my earnings on what I like, i.e. going to the football.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
