  1. Doric isn't an accent.

     

    It's possible to speak English with an Aberdonain or north west of England accent.

     

    Barton is a basketcase but I think Mikael Silvestre nails him;

      "The uneducated Joey Barton is fascinating for the degree of his stupidity, his ego and his megalomania!"

     

  2. I thought it was a blatant dive, the old trick of clipping your own heel whilst you fall.

     

    Goodness only knows the reasoning behind the disallowed goal, did the linesman call the ball out of play?

     

    If you add it to the Czech diver / Dutch referee costing us during last campaign I think we've been a bit unlucky. Levien is a massive fud though.

  3. Exactly, Law was offside but if the linesman didn't have a clue what chance has Reekie?

     

    fae wiki:  A player is in an offside position if three conditions are met: first, the player must be on the opposing team's half of the field. Second, the player must be in front of the ball. And third, there must be fewer than two opposing players between him and the opposing goal line, with the goalkeeper counting as an opposing player for these purposes.

     

  4. I think what TF says is right in that the relative behaviour has to be seen in context of the relationship of the two clubs. It's clear they are as bad as each other and to claim one party is more at fault when you weren't there is a bit much.

     

    Looking at it from another point of view I guess it would be difficult to not see the hypocrisy in this;

    Anyway, I'm not a fan of either club so can't be arsed with it.

    Why does this bother you? Do you actually think that or is it because you don't like Liverpool as a club? Actually it doesn't matter - either excuse is pathetic to be honest.

     

    This is not about one club or another. This is about 96 men, women and children that died. No one doubts what happened was an accident but that's beside the point. 96 people died because of firstly, a poor choice of venue made by the FA, secondly because the police opened exit gates to allow fans to flood in and thirdly the emergency services' failure to deal with it professionally. Then on top of that medical help was knowingly prevented from getting to the scene and to top all this off the police realise how momentously they've fucked this up and then go about changing scores and scores of statements to try and get themselves out of the shit they got themselves into. Meanwhile the families and friends of the dead (not having been through enough apparently) have to read (or hear about) the utter, utter reprehensible blatant lies printed by The Sun. But you want the families to just "accept it was an accident"?  ??? The situation could have and should have been dealt with in such a fashion that lives would have been saved. This didn't happen so for that surely an apology should be made. But never mind that. Let's try and turn it around and blame the fans eh? The people responsible for the cover up should be fucking locked up along with those whose actions worsened the death toll.

     

    Liverpool fans have campaigned tirelessly for justice and I'm so very happy for them that they've finally got it. Better late than never. I've heard this "wollowing in self pity" shite before but I dismissed it as anti-Liverpool shite because when I fully learned of the events of Hillsborough and the cover up I immediately understood straight away why the fans were relentless in their efforts for justice even if it did seem like they were going on and on. I was at a game a few seasons back and the Kop held up banners and chanted "justice for the 96" non stop for the whole half. I understand why completely.

     

    I have no affiliation with Liverpool although I've followed them since the 90s and I'm honestly proud of the fans. Their loyalty to each other is amazing.

     

     

    +1

     

    Although I don't think the families have justice yet. They now have the uncensored story and an apology for the cover up.

     

    Justice will come when those responsible are held to account for their incompetence on the day and subsequent lies.

     

    I hope the families take every institution possible, especially the cops, to the cleaners.
