PreMatch | Liverpool vs Newcastle United| PL Matchday 28 (Game #28)| Wednesday February 26th 20:15h Match Days

Maybe they’ve got things confused and think the finals tomorrow

Strong for this, then they all get a week off before PSG. The match in between the two European games is Southampton, and we should be able to rotate for that.

Then see where we are for the final.

Redmen TV had a good section on ‘we’re going to win the league’

Effectively they said it is about the journey and the enjoyment and elation of singing it in the moment, they also felt it was a way of the fans saying to the players, we believe in you and you can do it.

Going to be a special night at Anfield tomorrow already.

plus Arsenal match starts 45 minutes before ours. Huge chance that they will drop points again.

Imagine the roar if that happens and we score the winner in the second half.

I think Jones starts and Jota on the bench.
That might be the blueprint of the run in.
Jota and Cody as real options off the bench. I don’t think Darwin gets minutesin this.

I’ll settle for another City style win.

I’d like for us to smash the fuck out of them 4-0 though

Looks like Slot and his assistant will be banned for 2 games starting with this one.

Yup.

£70k?

No going to Spoons for a while.

The amount of time needed for some of these decisions…

Like it’s a process from the Hague.

Looks like the fix is in…

Well the alternative would be missing the cup final. Not sure not being on the touchline is a massive issue.

Avoid being banned again when he lamps one of the Newcastle cnuts. That one who thinks he is the manager.

Off topic to tonight’s game… it was posted in one of the threads following the red card. Given the nature of the red card, there was no option for the FA to hand down an instant punishment, and instead there was a need for a panel hearing. It wasn’t triggered by Slot not accepting the charges or anything like that. There were specifics about needing the hearing to take place within 10 days, and then another few days for judgement, which was announced to the club yesterday.

It’s landed fine for us, with him missing two home games, and its better there are these kinds of hearings than not I think, as often the reasons for blow ups from managers are down to inept refereeing - it highlights that surely - albeit behind closed doors.

back on topic - I expect 3 points tonight still

I just posted this to the Arne Slot thread regarding the touchline ban.

What can’t managers do when suspended?

Managers who receive a red card during a match cannot watch the rest of the match from the stands, return to the field of play or conduct media activities.

Touchline ban: For a standard touchline ban, the manager cannot be on the touchline before, during or after the match, and this includes participating in the team’s warm-up. Rules vary from country to country but in England (in both the men’s and women’s games) a manager suspended from the touchline has to sit in the directors’ box during the match. If there is no seat available or there is no official directors’ box, they must take up a spot in the stand which is not near the technical area or near opposition supporters.

Extended’ touchline ban: If an ‘extended’ touchline ban is in place, like the two games put forward and then amended by the Premier League, the manager cannot talk to their team from 30 minutes before the game to 30 minutes afterwards.

Stadium ban: When serving a stadium ban, the manager cannot enter the ground their team is playing at on the matchday, use any facilities on the site, or position themselves in any vicinity that gives a direct view of the pitch. This also involves no direct or indirect communication with any player or staff member from the club from kick-off to full-time.

What can they do?

Touchline ban:

  • Give a pre-match team talk
  • Be in the dressing room at half-time
  • Discreetly pass on information for their assistants — to those in the dugout by phone or a ‘runner’
  • Pre- and post-match media duties, not including touchline interviews

Managers are not able to do any of the above if they are serving an extended touchline ban or a stadium ban.

In the corresponding fixture at Newcastle, we came away with a draw, but hopefully we’ll play better than on that day. Fingers crossed that the players can build on their good performance against the Abu Dhabi cheaters, and take another three points! :crossed_fingers:

Gonna have to lay off some cafeteria staff to cover that…
