If that Gray scenario morphed into a scenario where it was the last minute into injury time with Liverpool on the brink of clinching the title, then I would have no incline to put the world to rights. No matter how honest I am as a person, sometimes, you think, “what the hell”, which is how it felt in the eyes of being with the Leicester Supporters.
The same to a CL Final, or England. The same if it meant your team avoiding the drop or your team qualifying for a European spot.
If we are wanting to turn to the support of the media, there are folk out there already championing diving as ‘part of the game’. Jason Cundy being one of them. I like him though because he tells it being just him rather than Adrian Durham on his high horse for example.
The Moral Compass is purely down to how strong, vigilant and accurate the Ref is.
Some idiots out there do take it that step too far, but certainly on these boards or any other message boards over my time have I seen anybody come forward in naming a player of the team they support!
If there’s not that, then what hope do we have in so-called ‘equilibrium’???
P.S. Michael Thomas Offside hahaha 😀 🙂 Somebody alter time! I blame Barnesy for not hogging the ball on the corner flag to run down the clock – we could have been on 19 by now and only 1 behind Man U!

Just got back for the game! I was freezing myself of calling for a change as this alternative City line up were in cruise control. It was mainly about 8 Gundogan, 35 Zinchenko. Gundogan is only a little guy but boy he runs and has dribbling ability – likes to run down the centre.
Leicester just lacked leadership and direction in the midfield and the game changed once Vardy, Mahrez and Gray were on.
I completely forgot about the way the shootout works. I had a incline Mahrez would miss and ironically Vardy missed too. City penalty takers for a real young bunch showed no nerves.
Seen the travelling support in which I think it was 3000 and they were a tremendous bunch – spirited in between banter and they were just elated once Bravo saved Mahrez’s pen.

Pagan, the BBC in recent times has lost it’s personalities. It’s steered in a way where there’s just ‘YES’ men and a network more than ever that’s PC.
Maybe one of the other channels or broadcasting networks could take this off the hands of the BBC or just create their own anyway.

Apparently 70 million tag now on Van Dijk which I thought already was the case and it’s reported, Liverpool won’t stump up, so could lose him to City or Chelsea.

Couldn’t put that better myself and completely agree. No longer going to take this trash seriously.
I still feel Ronnie should have at least got a mention considering this year he won 4 ranking titles and eclipsing Hendry’s century breaks and UK titles, he’s had a terrific year.
He’s wrote a book and is a regular with Jimmy White as a pundit for Eurosport.

Deary me. You’re swayed in Nine.
Thank goodness for god I’m agreed in another Cyber Space.
27 years in what I’ve learned, the BBC plan Athletes, so what?!
You rarely have now, Ian Botham, Bryan Robson, Paul Gascoigne, or even Liam Gallagher!!!
Notice???
All agenda driven to purely suit the BBC. Pointless, and it took me 20 or so years of my life to see the light.
Ronnie should have won it. What was that crap in nonsense of pointless of interview from Victoria Derbyshire? Ronnie needs protection.

Pagan, in short I totally get where you are coming from being a chain reaction. Now that would be a series of worms, haha. Too much unnecessary headache just from these theories outlined.
Maybe it should just be a case of decisions like penalties, sendings off and offsides as a template.
That Fourth official needs to get his thinking cap on and simply be more vigilant and involved in proceedings!
An action of prevention than cure, but we can only hope 🙂 🙂
Cheers

Salah is apparently more faster haha 😀 🙂
Now that is healthy competition amongst 2 well respected individuals.

Jim,
What I can see from this rotation, (something that Rafa I felt missed a trick (often) when he was implementing this) is that Klopp on this occasion didn’t have any key positions compromised.
E.g. If Mane is on the Bench, we have Salah on the pitch. I haven’t seen this type of luxury for a while when thinking about the midfield and attacking players.
I recognise and like too how Ox has been finding his way into our crop of players following his move from Arsenal. For me, he definitely has something in his locker. Firmino is bouncing of Salah, and I’m seeing a different player.
The obvious depth is the back line and we’ve had to really roll our sleeves up when we don’t have Joel Matip. Gomez has been filling in for Clyne, and Robertson of late replacing Moreno has been first class and truly inspirational to watch.
From our point of view Jim, I truly hope we can get hold of Van Dijk as I would love to see how he and Kieta would pair in in the heart of the defence and defensive midfield areas. This too would generate competition for places involving Milner and Wyjnaldum.
Depth in essence is a good problem for the Manager as long as he can keep everyone happy and can clearly distinguish his best formula for home and away matches.
Cheers

Jim,
in reality not many managers in public will come out and wrong their own players unless there’s serious violation that’s led to a sending off (in which they know there’s no hiding place and it’s inexcusable).
I don’t really know. Should they be taken to task in the first place to explain their comments?
Personally, I’m more aligned in taking into account emotions running high and comments made in the heat of the moment. I don’t think post-match interviews do these guys any favours if they have been on a back of a defeat and there’s been controversy.
The way the industry is too, from what could be just a simple bad day at the office, some Managers feel as though they have to strip an entire engine to get to the bottom of what happened and why.

Pagan, from your first 2 lines, I would question isn’t that the whole purpose in having something like this put in place?
Whilst this process and attention to detail may seem a can of worms to some, that 3rd party benefitting could be a relegated team or a team finishing 4th.
In essence, this could promote more of a fair game if done properly as long as we’re not too pedantic on detail.
Cheers

Fully redeemed and absolutely delighted to come away with a 4-0 thumping victory. Apart from that scare towards the closing stages of the first half from Defoe, Liverpool bossed it in all areas of the pitch.
This rotating of players shows us we can rest the example of Mane and win this game comfortably. Nice reintegration today of Lallana and Ings.
Robertson was outstanding today as full-back and provides so much stability.
Feeling a lot happier after those Bus Parkers in Everton and West Brom. Arsenal next up Friday Night so let’s hope we’re fully prepared as we were today.

That should now settle it – 4-0 and great header from Robbie Firmino.

Maybe a bit of both, Pagan but I would imagine largely in percentages, there would be the handling of requests from Managers. There needs to be more involvement from the 4th official in the first place to observe and take note.
If there is evidence of officials being proactive, then this would fill Managers with greater confidence and this in itself would iron out the inconsistencies.

Would have been delighted just to go into the break at 0-0 away from home, but this has been a measured Liverpool coming right out of the blocks from the first whistle and deserving of their 3-0 advantage.
Bournemouth to be fair to them before Liverpool’s 3rd did themselves finally come out of the traps and turn the screw on us and had Defoe’s effort gone in, then it may have been a different story come half-time.
We have been here before this time last season, so nothing to take for granted and we have to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself, but in the meantime, we’re in fine fettle and enjoying it 🙂
