      They are right F***ing cu*ts. Guess we won't be seeing Matip until they get knocked out.. cu*ts.

      What time would be more relevant, you pompous arrogant cu*ts. Hope you get knocked out in the most humiliating way possible.

      BTW I still cannot believe that in this day and age anybody can be forced into work, or in this case forced to play for their country if they don't want to. I really cannot square that with all the human rights bollocks, come on Amnesty get off your arses and come to the defence of Matip! ;-)

      Has the pigeon arrived with the message from FIFA yet?

      Yeah, just a brown envelope with a return address all ready written out though  :confused-smiley-013:

      Slightly of topic but I'm not sure we have missed him in terms of clean sheets/goals conceded...

      Maybe his, on field, loss is felt in other ways?

      On topic: a clusterfuck of a situation all round. Totally ludicrous. 😯

      Lovren has really stepped up I think mate, has been excellent in nearly all the games since Matip has been out absent and was clear MOM against the Mancs.

      Wanting to cut down on costs they are probably just waiting to reuse Joel's [resignation] pigeon. 🐌

      Don't fully agree with that Mick I think we have sorely missed Joel's ability to not only bring the ball out of defence but also his accurate passing into the midfield.

      But I agree Lovren has generally been good defensively.

      I never really said we haven't missed Matip mate, he's obviously better than Klavan or Lucas. I was just making the point that perhaps one of the reasons why we haven't conceded lots of goals is that Lovren has been so good.

      So is he cleared for Saturday or not ?

      Still totally bewildered by the whole F***ing saga myself.

      Can't understand how anyone can be made to perform any sort of duty, for any organisation, with the threat of being with held from their regular work and source of income, as a form of punishment for not doing so. !!! There has to be legal implications and compensation procedures attached to this.
       Why haven't The English F.A. done something similar when Fat Frank and Stevie G decided to retire from international duty, and thousands more before them ?

      I'd play him and tell the lot of them to do what they want. See you all in court ! Tossers.

      F**k's sake did it really have to take them that long to come out with that statement? How long can it take to check the rules and go "Nah, Cameroon are talking out of their arse, you can play the lad."? Bunch of incompetent shits.

      Very happy to have him back though. I'd have him back in the side straight away.

      The carrier turtle has finally arrived.  Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was cleared to play in Schalke's game tomorrow a few hours ago!

      Liverpool FC can confirm that all charges against the club and its player Joel Matip have been dismissed by FIFA following confirmation this evening from world football's governing body.

      The club had requested FIFA to provide guidance on Matip's eligibility after a complaint had been made by FECAFOOT to FIFA concerning the player's purported call-up to the Cameroon national team for the Africa Cup of Nations.

      Following FIFA's ruling, the club now considers the player available for selection.

      Matip was withdrawn from the Reds’ squad against Manchester United last Sunday as the club sought clarity on his eligibility, while he also missed the subsequent FA Cup tie at Plymouth Argyle.

      http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/251292-joel-matip-eligible-for-lfc-selection-after-fifa-confirmation

      All cleared up.

      I'd have him on the bench for todays game, Lovren and Klavan should be more than enough against Swansea.

      BTW happy to see that common sense won the day.
