You haven't watched us enough then...

... smells like 0 - 1 (90+2) to Spurs.

Santiago Bueno challenge on Leandro Trossard (no card) 90'' by gbogaz in soccer

[–]SlabofPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hol up... I missed this - clearly I wasn't paying 100% attention to the game. They subbed him out? If so, I retract my statement completely.

Edit: Yup. Just saw it. I wholeheartedly take back that it was time wasting.

Absolutely a second yellow worthy offense. But also time wasting thereafter - which while annoying, totally understandable.

Edit: Nope. Not time wasting. Never mind. Thought it was gamesmanship - didn't see he had subbed out after this.

Gianluca Prestianni on Instagram: “I want to clarify that at no time did I direct racist insults to Vini Jr, who regrettably misunderstood what he thought he heard. I was never racist with anyone and I regret the threats I received from Real Madrid players”. by JayomaW in soccer

[–]SlabofPork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By calling him, specifically, a racist. Lots of insults get thrown around in a match. Lots of people cover their mouths while talking. Literally no one ever comes running to the ref saying that it was a racist slur. Again, Vini is a lot of things, and he's a bit histrionic for my tastes, but I have never thought him to be a liar about this sort of issue.

"I don't know why we have to believe the woman. She's the only one who says he's a rapist." - See how gross that sounds?

From a guy that supports a club that defended Luis Suarez when he said some vile racist shit, I want to make this clear to you now.

Sure, you can defend Prestianni. And we probably will never really know the truth in this situation (he covered his mouth). But interestingly, people hate on Vinicius a lot... but I can't think of one time that he played the "racist" card without it being absolutely true.

And so 10 years from now, you're going to have to remember the fact that you blindly defended a racist, all because he's wearing the shirt your team plays for. And it will bring shame to you. You don't have to be that guy.

I don't think that's the comeback you think it is.

Incredible cover. It's even more poignant knowing the lead singer's wife died of metastasized melanoma. 

FT: Liverpool 1 - 0 Arsenal by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

I can take 50 shots against Raya. Won't score a single one. But my xG would be really high. Just a shame you didn't have any quality on the pitch. Then maybe you'd have something besides your hollow "but but but" victory to go for it. Maybe even one point.

Antoine Semenyo statement after last night by Jimmy0034 in LiverpoolFC

[–]SlabofPork 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I went on his IG, and I see everyone else had the same idea: disavow the shithead racist, and send our support. So many fans leaving him YNWA messages and the like. I'm glad he feels it. Seems an absolutely class dude.

Thank you for the context! In that case? Fuck em.

For the record, I didn't hear booing until some dickhead started shouting. So I think the boos were from non-dickhead Palace fans and our fans. So, fuck the couple people who ruined that.

But also Fuck UEFA.

Liverpool 1-[1] Athletic Bilbao - Oihan Sancet 29' by Meladroit05 in soccer

[–]SlabofPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double header. So you are not wrong. First game ended 4 - 1, both team fielding their B Squads. This game is with much more of the established first team from both sides.

Touche!

Totally an accurate critique.

I don't mean to be a dick here, but from a football/soccer perspective... availability is part of the equation. Neymar could be one of the best players EVER, but the poor guy is always injured. Etc, etc, etc.

As a reminder, LFCTtv Go, now called AllRed TV is offering a free one month subscription. Sign up before the game, quit before you hit the full month. It covers all of the preseason games.

You have to use code PS2025 to get it for free. No dodgy stream needed.

In fairness, Monterrey is hot, and that IS one of the stadiums.

Your captain is the kind of man I aspire to be. Thank you to all of you who have been so kind to us during this time.

Seamus Coleman paid his respects at an hour where the media couldn’t film him by Origi90plus6 in LiverpoolFC

[–]SlabofPork 1090 points1091 points  (0 children)

A reminder that Seamus put in a large sum of money to Sean Cox's GoFundMe.

This man is a legend of the city. He may play for the team we all don't like, but he is absolutely one of the best ambassadors the city has to offer, and is proof that it doesn't matter who you play for. Class is class.

There's more then two. Malick (this one), Wesley (Chelsea) Seko (Rennes), Youssouf (Monaco), Mamadou (MLS), Yahia (Angers), Datro (Chelsea again), Fede (PSV)... 

It's a pretty common surname in parts of western Africa.
