Not Liverpool related but speedy recovery for Awoniyi, induced coma after collision with the post on Sunday. A late offside flag. always thought that was injury waiting to happen.
1.) 14 May 2025 14:59:08
Absolutely. Hope he makes a quick and full recovery. It looked horrific at the time and it was really surprising when he went back out on the field. You have to question the lines-person decision, but also the medical team and Awoniyi himself. Clearly the need for a winner and CL football next season took over the team’s decision.
In terms of the lines-person, she was simply following the law of the game. And when you look at this law, it has a good intention and actually makes sense. But you look at how many injuries have occurred as a result in the last few seasons, it’s a high proportion. As the flag only doesn’t get raised when it’s a clear goal scoring opportunity, the stakes are immediately higher and the chance of an injury is higher.
So perhaps something needs to be done. If the offside is a case of a few inches then fair enough, but in the Awoniyi case he was a clear two yards offside and the flag should have gone up immediately and the injury could have been avoided.

Will they change the rules following this incident?
3.) 14 May 2025 17:21:19
Lines-person?
{Ed025's Note - i hate all that PC crap Semi, if my toilet is blocked that inspection chamber soon turns back to a manhole mate.. :)
4.) 14 May 2025 18:11:36
Certainly wouldn't be a “person” who comes to unblock it for you ed.
{Ed025's Note - i end up doing it myself Semi, equal rights goes right out of the window when it comes to shoveling Shoite mate.. :)
5.) 14 May 2025 23:32:55
Big assumption that it’s a person.
Some individuals identify as cats and llamas now.
A line-llama.
6.) 14 May 2025 23:25:43
Ed25 given you are a blues supporter, you would be pretty good at that by now ;-)
{Ed025's Note - in the past maybe Phil, but we will end up smelling of roses now mate when we move to BMD.. :)

It's gone from heavy metal under Jurgen to a steady waltz under Arne but it's not very calming is it. 2nd half was much like many performances of late - a very hard watch indeed. It's been discussed so much that certain players can't get a game so it will be interesting how we fare once Arne has put his stamp into the squad. As we seem to be getting worse I hope that's not because the players have now adapted to Slots tactics and coaching and that's what we are now seeing.
1.) 13 Apr 2025 17:05:42
I'm putting down the recent poor performances down to nerves and lack of confidence (due to recent form) . We started well, got the goal and then just tried to cling on. As soon as we needed to score, we stepped up again and could have scored a couple before VVD got his header.
All that matters at this end of the season is the result. Performances cancelled wait for the start of next season.
2.) 13 Apr 2025 17:08:44
Was a very tough watch.
Alison was absolutely immense today and we are 3 points closer to that title.
3.) 13 Apr 2025 17:27:33
Our results are better than under klopp but the performances are worse under Slot. If we didn't have the lead we do have this team would of been shredded to bits based on how we seem to crumble under the intensity. Next season will either show that slot was correct in his approach or the wheels come off and we get exposed.
4.) 13 Apr 2025 17:29:27
Hope you and your lad enjoyed, JK. The atmosphere came across as very subdued to say the least. Its all about getting job done, but it would be nice getting to the finish line at a gallop, and not falling over the line. Though come the summer I will still be delirious.
5.) 13 Apr 2025 18:18:54
Rome the atmosphere started really well and then when we went 1 up the play just went flat and that went into the crowd.
It’s the crowds job to motivate the players but also the players have to get the crowd on the edge of their seats or on their feet.
Crowd was electric after the Virg goal buts it’s def not a game I’ll be watching back.
6.) 13 Apr 2025 18:20:58
Maybe the crowd was subdued, because they were bored with the football we are recently seeing. They have been used to Klopp's style of exciting football, and when things were not going our way, Klopp would stand in front of them and gee them uo.
7.) 14 Apr 2025 01:10:02
The crowd has been poor since Klopp's days. Nothing to do with performances in the pitch tbh. How many times has Klopp or the players come out and begged the fans to make noise at Anfield and to support the players the past few seasons?
11 Apr 2025 08:04:06
So Mo is officially staying, no mention of the contract length but good news indeed. Now get Virgil signed up and concentrate on winning the games needed to secure the league.
01 Mar 2025 15:51:36
Anyone see the palace v millwall game? I see our old friend Michael Oliver up to his usual standard.
Mateta taken out by keeper in an horrid challenge and Ollie doesn't even book him. Fortunately VAR did pull him to side to produce the red card, but I'm not sure how someone with boot as high and dangerous doesn't even warrant a booking at first glance is beyond me.
Wishing Mateta a speedy recovery.
{Ed001's Note - he didn't even give a foul mate, he stopped the game because it was a head injury, he was actually playing on. It was shockingly bad reffing.}
1.) 01 Mar 2025 16:07:08
What *does* he have to do to be sacked, or even have his match official category dropped down a notch?
2.) 01 Mar 2025 16:13:07
That challenge could've been fatal, a very nasty challenge. Something needs to be done about these refs, how are useless tools like him officiating top games? gobsmacking.
3.) 01 Mar 2025 17:36:30
Leave it out lads"he's the best we have".
4.) 01 Mar 2025 18:11:02
In the spur of the moment decisions Oliver decided a Slot handshake was worthy of a red card and a Hulk Hogan styled boot to the face which almost took a players head off wasn’t.
Sounds about right.
{Ed001's Note - says a lot that JK.}
5.) 01 Mar 2025 18:53:25
How is this not being talked about more? if he missed where contact was I'd give him benefit of the doubt. But to see that and not even give a foul is school boy level and that's harsh on them!
The worst thing for me is he is widely considered out best ref. If pundits start brushing poor performances under the rug the situation will only get worse and it's already pretty dire.
6.) 01 Mar 2025 19:49:15
That guy looks absolutely drunk on power, at this point. Shambles of a referee.
7.) 01 Mar 2025 20:07:27
I think this is a note to those who constantly talk about corruption. They aren’t bright enough for corruption.
The harsh reality is that most of them are just absolutely terrible.
That was one of the worst decisions you will ever see and he was looking right at it. Shocking,
{Ed001's Note - I am not sure how that shows they are not corrupt though? The fact he was looking right at it and gave nothing could equally be corruption as well as incompetence.}
8.) 01 Mar 2025 20:54:28
I just watched the tackle back and I am gobsmacked that the ref had such a clear view of the incident and was quite close to the action and didn’t see it? I’m not saying conspiracy or any of that, this is pure incompetence! How can you trust this ref to officiate a game if he cannot see that tackle as a red card, honestly the refs decision is probably worse than the tackle.
{Ed025's Note - i agree Dow-ney..
9.) 01 Mar 2025 20:56:55
Plus the amount of time he had to re-watch it before deciding it was a red card.
On a side note, "Let him die" chants from Millwall supporters does not breach FA regulations, whilst homophobic chants towards Ben Chilwell does.
10.) 01 Mar 2025 20:50:13
I suppose Ed I was working on the basis even in a corrupt world absolutely nobody wants Millwall to win anything. ?.
{Ed001's Note - if the odds are good though mate.}
11.) 01 Mar 2025 21:18:25
Best thing we can do is be vocal about it- especially when its not us being involved. Next thing- admitting a team we are playing getting screwed and calling for justice. Only then can people start to notice. I think we are halfway there.
09 Feb 2025 14:35:22
Cunha excelling again for Wolves, he'd be near the top of my list of targets if LFC are looking to add a forward in the summer. and we do like the old release clause.
1.) 09 Feb 2025 14:56:41
Definitely. I'd say if we were to be getting rid of Jota and Nunez it has to be Cunha and Danns to replace them.
2.) 09 Feb 2025 16:14:59
Danns? Good one.
3.) 09 Feb 2025 16:35:53
What's up with Danns, Kurt?
4.) 09 Feb 2025 17:06:56
Not good enough yet? We're trying to upgrade not the other way.
5.) 09 Feb 2025 17:43:49
I agree with Kurt on this, Salah. Danns falls into the category, along with nearly all our kids, they, and him aren't ready to be vying for first team; certainly not next season, anyway.
I'm still angry about the show today and the lack of respect shown by Slot. He got this wrong.
Was on the chat, today, and it got toxic with a tiny minority. That was also disappointing. None of us agree with each other all the time, but that should be able to be conveyed without over stepping the mark.
6.) 09 Feb 2025 17:53:54
For me Etikite of franfurt looks brilliant, we should be getting rid of Jota, nunez and diaz.
7.) 09 Feb 2025 18:04:17
The online chat was better than the game, until it got nasty towards the end.
Danns would have been better than Jota, Diaz, Chiesa and Nunez were today. Jota was hideous from the 1st minute and had the captain’s armband for most of the game! Nunez managed to hit the square foot taken up by the goalkeepers hand when he had the other 191 to aim at. Diaz was woeful and tackles worse than Paul Scholes. Chiesa at least put some decent balls I to the box but I feel he is not strong enough for English football.
All the young lads, bar Elliott, get a pass. Elliott really should have used his Blackburn experience today and let himself down.
However Slot should take most of the blame for not learning from Klopp’s big mistake. Never underestimate the FA Cup. Terrible team selection. Starting XI and bench. He will only be vindicated if we win the league and Carabao Cup. So now Everton is a must win.
8.) 09 Feb 2025 18:04:46
Quansah, Kelleher, Endo, Tsimikas, Elliott, Jota, Diaz, Darwin and Cheisa all played today. That’s enough first team/ senior players to win a game against a bottom of the Championship team Rome. In the main the players never showed up today .
I don’t think Slot got it wrong at all but I certainly think the players did. It is what it is. Well done and well deserved Plymouth. Suck it up and move on I say ?.
9.) 09 Feb 2025 18:19:59
Reminds me of a less refined Bobby but with more of a dog in him, which I do not think is a bad thing.
10.) 09 Feb 2025 18:31:05
Irish, come the morning I will probably agree with everything that you've said. I tend to come down like a hot air balloon. I do think that Slot should've had more experience on the bench, just for insurance. Like I say, reading your post, I will probably be saying the same myself tomorrow.
11.) 09 Feb 2025 20:02:10
Danns as a starting forward. no way!
12.) 09 Feb 2025 21:24:26
Id didn't care about the game before it and I definitely do not care about the game now.
08 Jun 2025 11:00:23
This is the problem, he might be here next season simply because nobody wants to buy him. Getting £10m out of Madrid for Trent was a bit of a master stroke but if Hughes can get someone to pony up for Darwin I’d say that trumps it.
If Darwin can’t be sold I’d say it’s imperative to sell Jota and replace him with a reliable striker.
05 Jun 2025 06:16:20
Sami - were there shortcomings last summer? Been reported that slot wanted to assess the squad before making any decisions, that strategy whether true or not worked out ok and many pundits have praised that approach when he could have ripped up the team to put his stamp on it.
As for TAA only leaving for 10m the failure to tie him to long contract or sell was not on their watch, it sounds like the club made numerous contract offers which he rejected so as to run contract down and leave on a free, yes they could have sold last summer if there was clear indication that he wouldn’t sign an extension but I’d say 10m for a month was good in circumstances
Mama - the club clearly didn’t see Kelleher as a full time Ali replacement and he wanted first team football so they purchased who they believe can be an Ali replacement when one was available (time will tell if that’s a wise move)
Chiesa, seemed like a good player at cheap price but he’s not been given a chance, slot says he will next season so we will see.
Zubamendi deal was all done only for player to change his mind - hardly the clubs fault.
The recruiting team and manager have had a year at the club now so have to deliver in this window. The “shortcomings” last summer have left them with a sizeable budget allowing the club to shell out nearly 200m on pursuit of Wirtz, Kirkez and Frimpong in opening week of window.
Let’s see what happens during the rest….
But can’t be too critical of the transfer business last year without knowing whether lack of activity was indeed a collective decision.
30 May 2025 19:50:50
The beauty of a release clause, same way we got Macallister for about £35m.
30 May 2025 11:56:56
Edwards and Hughes could give Arkwright a run for his mmmmoney.
28 May 2025 16:40:46
Ekitike at 80m is a hell of a gamble - bit like Nunez, it could work out or be another flop being so young and from another league.
TBH I’d rather the club try to investigate if there’s any way to work out a deal with Athletico for Alvarez and sending Darwin in other direction at a reduced rate. Even £30m for Delap is less of a gamble.
Unfortunately Ekitike’s price tag reflects the distinct lack of strikers around Europe.
08 Jun 2025 19:40:25
According to reports (ornstein I think) the meeting was scheduled some time ago before we got the green light from Wirtz as Cherki was one of the options for us, slot kept meeting out of respect - the player spoke of wanting to come to LFC.
21 May 2025 22:18:14
Imagine only getting 9 points in league in 6 months putting all eggs in the Europa basket and lose…. oh dear oh dear oh dear…. more dinner ladies laid off at OT.
Spare a thought for Arsenal fans who will now have to pull the curtains while spurs have their parade.
21 May 2025 10:56:37
I think it’s a bit of both. In Salahs interview on Sky he said that Slot had changed his position slightly and that was helping to increase his goals and assists, but he said that recently opponents have adapted so they might need to tweak it again next season.
However, no matter how fit Salah is I think he’d benefit having the odd game off/ being subbed to keep him fresher.
20 May 2025 18:13:10
Would this be same David lynch who only 2 weeks ago said he can’t see Liverpool being interested in Frimpong.
18 May 2025 08:46:54
We do love an opportunistic bargain and cherki appears to be that.
We have been linked to so many players only the club will know exactly who we are going after.
Apparently money is there for Wirtz so if he’s possible no need for cherki…. only about £100m difference lol.
