Post match: Liverpool v Spurs (ELC 6/2/25 8pm)

Noticed that Spence left the foot in or was late several times when the game had gone from them.

The one on Kelleher was particularly shithouse.

A lot of this mornings papers are pushing the agenda Virg should have seen red.

I thought it was goung to be red at the time. But on second look I was happy that it wasn’t.
Not so much the alleged elbow, more the flick back high foot.

Anyway…
That agenda is nowset by the media.

I suspect that most of the media is AI generated shite now anyway.

I said at the time its was silly from Virgil it had given the ref the chance to show a red and VAR wouldn’t have intervened.

Does he realise you are supposed to drink it?

And even when it’s not AI generated it’s still shite.

That arsehole faking a head injury made it less likely to be a red card. You’re right he’ll have to be careful now though. What are the chances he gets a red for something innocuous in the next few weeks?

I don’t think he did anything wrong.

When shielding the ball I teach my young players to use their arms to hold of their opposition. It’s defending 101.

He just has his elbow out to hold off Richarlison. There is no swing, No aggression. His elbow is planted below Richarlison’s chin. The player goes down holding his face

“Is it because I’m a Brazillian?”

It would have to be a very low elbow to catch him in his Brazilian. :joy:

Let’s be honest a complet shit of a gobshite headbutted big virg’s elbow. I mean what sort of moron does that?
Being fair gobshite’s head was at virg’s waist height when it happened. There really was nothing to see and from what I saw the ref had seen it and wasn’t having any of gobshite’s pantomime.
A fair tussle for the ball where one player behaved like a moron to try and upsetting one of the coolest, calmest players in football.
I don’t think Virg was very pleased about it and let gobshite know and guess what, gobshite limped off in a sulky.

He doesn’t just have his elbow out it does make a backwards motion but its definitely not a swing.

Another ref might have seen his elbow get thrown out and then bought dickhead’s theatrics and quite easily have flashed a red.

Is why I thought Virgil got away with one. We don’t get those breaks too often.

Once again we dismantled a pretty good side without even going into the second gear. We have a great squad, we have a great coach, and we couldn’t have had those two without a great management. These are the times, folks. YNWA
