BBC trying to rally support and then go and put Kelvin Mackenzie on to talk about journalistic standards. From the people of Liverpool. Fuck you BBC #jft97

1945 the British made sure that Germanys public broadcasting system would never be taken over by an authoritarian leader again by creating a complicated federal system.
They didn’t see to that at home which has left the BBC vulnerable.
This needs to change now.

Sure, and I like the concept you’ve suggested. I guess it just highlights the difficulties for the law makers

I don’t think that would work … they’ll be three attackers surrounding the goalkeeper in no time.

Professional players and coaches will always find a way to exploit the laws of the game. Unfortunately, football almost encourages the basic human instinct to win at all (any) costs … i.e. cheat

Slow motion replays need to be viewed while imagining the incident at full pace and the game “context”. That means always replaying at full speed before the final decision.

Contact will inevitably happen … the question is whether the contact is enough to REALLY interfere with and disrupt play

Let’s play it all the way back to Konate a bit more chaps … that’ll get us back into the game.

Or we could try to use the fact that we made it into their half🤷‍♂️

Barely a penalty but you can see why it’s given. Self inflicted … that’s the most disappointing thing.

Nice save though 😂

That is accidental on Flo, but a waaay bigger thump than Virgil did on Mbappe

We’ve found our mojo again … and it’s great to see😃

Good match to watch … could still go either way. We need to be a bit more clinical.
