One of the judges actually played with Fergie's son for six years or so. Plus he talked about how he saved Fergie's job in his biography and how he loves him. So much bias.

quote:

i have a very efective idea can someone pass it to those in the know. ITK!!!

just before kick off when the cameras are on, the team forms a circle chain chanting very loudly, "NEGRITO! NEGRITO! NEGRITO!

Then in the midddle out pops a smiling glen johnson pulling up his jersey to reveal a t-shirt of suarez with a text saying. "OUR SUAREZ IS A FRIEND TO ALL COLOURS!"

this all ends with a loud "we willl never walk alone!" war cry from all the players1

That'll teach me to go on there and look for some sensible pre-match discussion.

If grayson was given some of the money from the gradel transfer i think he should splash it all on Andriy vorninen. He was excellent whilst he was at liverpool and was one of their most prolific strikers in the premiership. We could sell ponytails in the club shop which would make a fortune also.

He would break the bank though as players of his calibre don't come cheap at all.

I think we could also tempt Lucas Radebe out of retirement for the rest of the season

TRP Post of the Month October 2021
The year was 2011. The sky was split with fire. The earth shook; red blood ran, darkening, into the gutter. The moon smiled malignantly; blue, cold and hungry. As we raised our swords for the final charge, memories shuddered in and out of focus.

My family live in an ordinary English street. We’ve lived there as long as anyone can remember; several houses, but always the same street. Next-door is another family who had been there as long as us. When my grandfather was young both families were good friends. They came around to our family home and we went to theirs. In the war bombs damaged their house and we let them live in with us for a while. We regularly held out the hand of friendship to them, even lending them clothes when they were poor.

Most of the time our families had decent, neighbourly relationships. For a long time our house and family was bigger. Their fortunes improved after the war, despite a family disaster. But this was a time of plenty and my family prospered too. A healthy rivalry ensued, where the adults drunk wine together, and the children socialised in the street, but competed in a sporting manner. It spurred both families on, but things started to turn a little ugly. Some of the younger, wilder family members started to brawl with each other occasionally, and the rivalry deepened. Each family began to guard their own turf.

Then my family fell upon bad times. The family elders became transfixed with the family next door and this caused us to have mounting financial problems. Family feuds were commonplace and the only constants were gambling, fighting and wasting money. Despite great hardship, what carried us through was our underlying love for each other.

Next door, things became different. They came into money. Lots of it. They renovated their house, inside and out. It made ours look shabby. As they rose up the social ladder, their attitude to others changed. Like many who become gorged with success, they became insufferably arrogant and boastful.

When my family passed them in the street, they laughed and mocked. They waved their new jewellery and trinkets and laughed at our scruffy house. It became ingrained in their family, to tease and to boast. My family began to resent this and became jealous of their success. But around the fire at nights, our parents and grandparents taught us the hollowness of their boasting. Their house had become so big, so ostentatious it now attracted people from all around the neighbourhood and beyond to their parties. They opened their doors to anyone from anywhere; shallow people who knew nothing of family tradition, loyalty and unconditional love.

Our children were brought up to value these things, whilst their adopted children cared only for the parties, the jewellery and the glamour. And they enjoyed being the neighbourhood bullies, in the full knowledge that their family were the richest in the street and could do anything.

We became used to it, became browbeaten. Our younger family members had only ever known the house next door towering over ours, had only ever heard the gloating songs about their power and our impotence. The older family members talked around the fire, but it began to sound hollow. It didn’t used to be like this, they said, and our day will come again. Few of the young believed this. But they never deserted the family. They walked the streets, desperately, bullied and humiliated. Next door’s family grew and its malevolence grew. They began to believe they owned the street, and could crush anyone who stood in their way. This they frequently did. They did what they wanted. Our family kept true to traditional values and walked past, heads held high. But these were indeed tough times.

Then, one summer’s day, a man turned up at the door. He was looking for a family with integrity. He wished to invest in a local property, one with great potential, and make it the best house in the whole neighbourhood. This would give him great satisfaction and also great returns. He desired profile for his huge construction business. An agreement was reached, and he and his friends from afar were welcomed with open arms by my family, who were stunned that someone could see the potential of the house that they had owned for so many years.

For a while, the man performed renovations, inside and out. The changes were significant and everyone in the neighbourhood began to notice. Next door they just laughed. They would always own the biggest house on the street; it was all they had known. They sneaked across the fence late at night and chipped away at our new structure. They waited gleefully for the day when a hurricane blew the house down.

But that day never came. Our house began to slowly take shape and suddenly it became noticeable that their house was starting to show signs of wear. Their landlord was increasing the rent and suddenly a few cracks appeared in the woodwork. They never noticed but we did, and redoubled our efforts. Still they laughed, and mocked with the arrogance born of lifelong security. They slapped each other’s bloated backs and laughed out of the windows. We held our counsel and turned the other cheek.

And then suddenly, last night, while they sat around their fire, gloating and singing their songs about our family’s failures, and burning our effigies, the elders said to us quietly: The time is now.

And my family, made strong by the years of hunger and torment, marched into the street, eyes cold, biceps bulging. We surrounded their house and lit torches. And they looked up, bellies fat from years of gorging, senses dulled from their fire and wine and trinkets, and suddenly fear glowed in their eyes. In line, arms linked, torches aloft, we marched forward.

A red sun dipped below the horizon. The year was 2011.

O.K. guys, Pato will never leave AC Milan as long as the "queen bee" Barbara is not totally satasfy. Ms. Berlusconi wants the duck always in her bed-room. Adriano Galliani naturally has to rule out Pato going to PSG or in any other clubs at least for now. The one time " meek young duck " Pato now roars like a lion and does not quack any-longer like a duck, because the Brasilian now has sultry Barbara Berlusconi on his side.

This is brilliant. They are giving us all the ammunition we will need. Said it before and I'll say it again - there is absolutely no point whatsoever in only appealing to the fa. They've already old us we can't appeal the verdict only the length of the ban. We're never gonna get a fair appeal from them. The club said in its statement that they felt the fa were hellbent on finding Suarez guilty regardless of any evidence. It's pretty clear now that for whatever reason they've deemed to be a more credible witness than Luis, which the rest of us know is complete bollocks. Theyve said the decided on Which version of events was more probable. So basically they have no witnesses and no evidence and are simply taking Evras word and version of events to be true over Luis'.

I'm hopin we're already lawyered up and ready ovtake them to the high court, court of sports arbitration or the highest court we can possibly take the case to. Mud sticks regardless and the fa seem to be fine with ruining one mans career over another's say so. Utter bollocks. I hope we rip them a new one a hundred times over.

Once we get the judgement overturned I hope we then go after the media. All of the papers, hacks and anyone else who has backed the fa over their judgment without being privy to any evidence (of course there isnt any) but have happily used words like racist to condemn Suarez. We should sue the gently caress out of all of them and get them to publish a very public apology to Luis and the club.

Not forgetting Mr Evra. Hopefully we can do something about his exaggerations and some of the things he has alleged/admitted to have said to Suarez.

Let's take them all to the loving cleaners! Time to take the fight to the next level LFC!!

its only here in the uk that people frown upon diving and think that it is a form of cheating. i coach youth football and i would never tell my kids not to do it - in fact, if they do it and do it well i will praise them - i see it as a skill. i'd much rather see a good dive than encourage a little 10 year old to "get in to 'em hard and let 'em know that youre there" of which could result in a pointless injury. unfortunately, the footballing culture in this country will never change and for that reason we will always be a second rate nation that is too concerned about being the guardian angels of the game rather than developing technical programme to improve us ON THE PITCH....i'm actually embarrassed to have anything to do with the f.a and english football - its a joke in this country....too concerned about our image within....trying to satisfy the pc brigade, tabloids, and people who dont know anything about the game....the rest of the world laughs at us and rightly so.

anyway....the only thing i would like to see introduced into the english/european game is the temporary pitch spray to highlight the 10yrd distance between ball and defence - it works a treat in south america and stops the defensive wall creeping forward during free kicks.

the right to a fair trial one of the pillars that underpins our legal system, reinforced by the ECHR and implemented in our national legislation by virtue of the HRA 1998. The FA is a public authority and therefore has to respect this, or it has absolutely no place adjudicating on a matter of such importance. If i remember correctly these were Queens' Council barristers, yet they seem to me like a pair of judges from Iraq under the Saddam Hussein reign. I am disgusted by this but I am sure that Suarez' representatives shall do their utmost to not only have this whole drat thing overturned and have these puppets exposed.

quote:

Det kan vel ikke være noen tvil at Fergie Association har en stadig dårligere sak. Her er det påstand mot påstand, og der de velger ta den partens ord for sanne. Helt utroli at slikt går an i et rettssamfunn og et demokrati som UK.
Håper Liverpool tar denne saken så langt som mulig, om nødvendig! Jeg er ikke Liverpool supporter, men det er uvesentlig hvilken klubb man støtter her. Rettssikerhet og den tvilsomme troverdigheten til en stor organisasjon som har dummet seg ut mange ganger før, er viktigere her!

Translated: It can't be any doubt that Fergie Association has a constantly worse case. It's claim against claim, and they choose to take that party's claims for truth. Incredible that stuff like that is possible in a system of justice and a democracy like the UK. Hope Liverpool take this case as far as possible, if necessary! I'm not a Liverpool supporter, but it's irrelevant what club you are supporting here. The system of justice and the shaky accountability of a big organization that has made a fool of itself several times before is more important!
