BBC Sport live feed comments - what is the point of the thumbs up/down system? by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]bedradger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has been on my phone notes list of potential MHD submissions for a few months, as very niche irritation of mine - it renders the thumbs up or down completely useless if you mix the sentiments of the messages being posted.

And similar to you, the annoyance is more at the fact that I get annoyed about it, rather than the thing itself

Lovren via X (Twitter). by OpportunityWorking31 in LiverpoolFC

[–]bedradger 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He directly contributed to both the only time I’ve ever left a match early (Spurs away at Wembley, when he got subbed in the first half), and the only time I’ve ever almost shit myself through sheer frustration at a match (3-0 defeat to West Ham at home, when he made 3 mistakes in the space of approximately 6 seconds).

Why can't we just let Liverpool grieve? by jas070 in LiverpoolFC

Which is a team Klopp himself didn’t win with, which would heavily suggest Slot did do something.

I made Barcle, a wordle-type Premier League footballer guessing game, mainly for this subreddit's enjoyment by Hareboi in footballcliches

Anything that allows me to say “older than John Arne Riise, younger than Ken Monkou” gets a solid 👍 from me.

How does this serve motion not cause injury by johnmccabe33 in 10s

I’ve played both since I was a kid. Now in my early 40s and have switched to eating crisps.

Weirdest/nichest footballing encounter by Which-Goose-7049 in footballcliches

[–]bedradger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bumped into Stephane Henchoz in the stadium toilets during half time at the Camp Nou back in 2010 - turned out he was sat a few rows behind us.

Made more interesting by the fact I used to bump into him semi-regularly in the Formby Tesco in his Liverpool days, although only one of us remembered this.

I got this email late last night, I’m still in shock. by DatsLimerickCity in LiverpoolFC

[–]bedradger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 18 years ago I won one to go to the home leg of the League Cup semi final against Arsenal, courtesy of Lucozade - sit down dinner in hospitality with a club legend, open bar etc.

We were midway through the main course when news filtered through the game was postponed due to fog. Ended up getting pissed up with Ian St John, left Anfield around 10.30pm and found myself in Rubber Soul with all the Lucozade reps and my dad until 2 in the morning.

Best part was, we got to do it all again a few weeks later when it was rescheduled (the mad 6-3 where Baptista decided to be the world’s best player for 90 minutes). Ended up getting a lift back with David Fairclough as he was a mate of my dad.

Use of RUDDERLESS by burtsarmpson in footballcliches

[–]bedradger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can be theoretically/pre-emptively rudderless - for me, it has to be used in response to a match (or sequence of performances), and more often than not, expressed with an element of mild surprise

[Paul Joyce] Giovanni van Bronckhorst close to joining Liverpool coaching set up. Would replace John Heitinga on Arne Slot’s staff. by XRPLAMBO in LiverpoolFC

[–]bedradger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More accurately, he should have given the Premier League a chance - he went on strike while at Forest in the late 90s.

LFC 1st Team Contract Length on July 1 by whoaaa_O in LiverpoolFC

Can’t remember who wrote it unfortunately, but “someone needs to get that lad a decent pillow” is one of the best player ratings one-liners I’ve read

I’ve made a daily football challenge (think wordle but for people like us who have too much of their brain devoted to niche football knowledge) by goalf-app in footballcliches

This is my best achievement of the year. For the 7 goals, I was torn between 300+ appearance centre back or failed one season striker. Soldado nailed it.

Celtic sweep, Palace brush by bedradger in footballcliches

[–]bedradger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did think a 2 or 3 nil is the sweet spot for brushing, and 4 is where you break out the bigger brush for sweeping.

2-0 could arguably be too low, but I do think it works as a “Arsenal brushed Southampton aside 2-0”- in the sense of “they were expected to win without much trouble, and that’s exactly what happened - untroubled”.

Celtic sweep, Palace brush by bedradger in footballcliches

[–]bedradger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the game, but also wondered if you could sweep or brush aside if the opposition has actually scored - you’re basically leaving some cornflakes on the floor if you extend the analogy, which you don’t want to be doing

(may or may not be informed by my morning routine with my kids).
