LFC v Napoli post match thread

[Fredo]

Well no, but I've seen and encountered countless gangs of pissed up rugger lads on a jolly boys night out turning pubs over and hammering innocent bystanders senseless.

Nothing worst than the sight of a pissed up posh cunt doing it with an 'holier than thou' arrogance. ****ing bullies.

[Shaggy]

I see your point, but organised violence is a lot more insidious and most legal systems see it as a greater crime.

Aye, it's certainly more sinister when it's organised.

[fah-q]

What like the south wales valleys where a pretty significant number of people are on the dole?

I meant south of England

[fah-q]

But its not organised and premeditated

That makes all the difference

[Cormack74]

I meant south of England

What like all the unemployed people in Cornwall?

[Shaggy]

I'm sure you have, but my original point was about safety in and around matches.

Although actually, in rugby league this year there's been plenty of brawling. If anything it's worse than football.

This the most recent in a string of incidents:

I have to admit my general ignorance of rugby league although I know fan trouble isn't uncommon.

[Ben_Itez]

That wasn't my post at all mate.

Apologies

However, i still dont think he's slow

[Shaggy]

He's either slow or in the last ten minutes his legs had completely gone. I hadn't really noticed a lack of pace before until he made a run down our left in the latter part of the game and it looked like he was actually running through a mass of treacle

That news title is awfully composed.

Isn't it just

Some people (non lfc fans) have said to me that Hodgson was a tactical genius last night. After recognising it wasn't working he made all the right decisions.

Suspect there won't be a lot of agreement but an interesting perspective.

Pfftt!! What decisions were they?! He basically shat himself and threw Gerrard on. Hardly tactical genius! He said himself - remarkably - that he couldn't be expected to take any credit for such a no-brainer. Any other changes seemed somewhat nominal to me...shifting Meireles from one wing to another, shunting Shelvey to the left etc.

To some degree people see what they want to see - me (and others not enamoured with Hodgson) included. My old man is insanely pro-Hodgson and was texting me at the end, gloating..."Told ya! Go on Roy! Roy's the man" (I was getting pretty irritated )....but it really is amazing how many non LFC people still think he's a great manager.

Incidentally one mate of mine who's been the same (Skywashed, Roy worshipper, Rafa hater etc) has finally seen the light after listening to me for about 6 weeks. He confessed last night that my arguments, facts and figures were compelling.

Yeah, there is a danger of everyone taking up entrenched positions. But last night is only evidence that Gerrard can be a f*cking good player when he wants to be.

Did you admit you just nicked them off Lecter and dww?

Some of the Chelsea supporters were liking the changes to Mourinho. They weren't trying to wind me up and really seemed to believe it.

Though when I asked them if they'd swap Hodgson for Ancelloti then suddenly Hodgson wasn't so quite great.
