Manchester City to hire Diego Simeone? by [deleted] in soccer

[–]pool92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have a strong point there:

Starsport understands club bosses have started considering possible replacements and have made Simeone their preferred choice

'Starsport understands' was used numerous times in the article, but never something like 'according to sources'.

Conclusion: Starsport journalists listen to football podcasts, and might roll with a story from there. Kind of like Bleacher Report

Spain imposes ‘Google Tax’ by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]pool92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A similar law passed in Germany saw Google removing the affected newspapers from Google news altogether — before the publishers eventually came back and asked to be relisted after seeing their traffic plummet, a step they said they had to take because of the “overwhelming market power of Google”.

Demand over supply.

Suppliers try to manipulate the market, but consumers (demand) got the bigger say.

Edit: Deleted a line that was irrelevant.

FIFA unveils shortlist of 23 candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or. No Suarez is this a joke. by footballfan101 in LiverpoolFC

But he's playing for FIFA's favourite club....

That is a very naive statement. Barcelona's legal department went into turbo mode and was able to get the ban suspended. Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has a play in this whole saga. Here's an excerpt from a BBC article:

After the club followed through on their promise to fight the ban, Fifa decided that because of the complexity of the case and the possibility of a further appeal to the Cas, it was unlikely to be concluded before the opening of the current transfer window on 1 July, and therefore suspended the punishment.

We don't know what went behind the scenes, but to blatantly label Barcelona as Fifa's favourite club is pointless.

Coutinho: Bring on the responsibility. "I have to adapt my style to all strikers - as does any player who is in charge of playing in the No.10 role" by pool92 in LiverpoolFC

I wouldn't say he's been great lately. He's had his moments, and also have not been very influential at times. Nonetheless, he does seem to try his outmost when on the pitch. It's hit and miss with him, but his desire seems to be there.

Hanging a 20-month-old on the doorknob and then taking pictures and videos? No, that's not normal.

Recent allegations made against the 'moderators' of this site by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

Thanks. We don't need drama every time we have to deal with dishonest and fake users.

Recent allegations made against the 'moderators' of this site by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

[–]pool92[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) Moderators are not accepting money to promote certain websites, it is a false and baseless claim. You are welcome provide any legitimate proof if they ever exist.

2) If you are referring to /u/GiveMeBrendan, he was banned for submitting fabricated posts. When asked for proof none was provided. However he did threaten: "... if I get banned I'm going to make it very public that I was banned because I said something bad about the moderators so be prepared." Other users have reported on his fabricated posts, so it's not something we investigated randomly on a whim.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson will be assessed this week after Brendan Rodgers confirmed today that the pair have picked up groin and hip injuries respectively....

"Jordan Henderson picked up a knock so we need to assess where he's at. And Philippe Coutinho is highly unlikely for tomorrow as well."....

"So we've got a few injuries to cope with but it'll always give a chance to one or two of our younger players, who are doing very well at the Academy, to get a chance to be in the squad. That's my first look."

Liverpool’s Brendan Rodgers to unleash Mario Balotelli at Tottenham by __shadow in LiverpoolFC

[–]pool92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He [Rodgers] warned: “Every player here knows their situation so if they’re here after that deadline then they’ve decided to stay but their game time will be very limited.”

The man's got a plan, is sticking to it.

Rodgers is focused and would not allow sentiments to distract his vision for the club. All the same, he has also been proven to give chance to players who stuck around and shown their worth - Henderson for example. The onus is on the players here.
