      Jürgen became woven into the fabric of this club from the moment he announced,
      “I am the normal one”
      He will never escape that, as so many before him have experienced. A small piece of him will remain. And a small piece of Liverpool FC will go with him.

      Where ever life’s adventures take him, he will never be completely free from us, nor us from him !
      He will forever be a part of LFC.

      Biggest compliment I can pay Joel is he reminded me of a very classy Alan Hansen at his best, some player was Joel Matip, all the very best Joel and a heartfelt thank you for all you've done.

      Been a while

      Rafa Benitez about half an hour ago on Albert Road, West Kirby.
      When did Rafa play for Liverpool?

      Summer 2024 LFC Transfer Board / Re: Scouting talk

      Problem with top players with low-ish release clauses is it comes down to wages where we get blown out of the water. Haaland for example had a reasonable transfer fee but the package City put together for him meant no one else could compete.

      Mac Allister worked out alright

      Graeme Souness drove me back up to Edinburgh after a game in 78/79 season. He was going up for a Scotland game and didn't just do it out of kindness. ;)

      The Kop / Re: Premier League clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
      « Last post by Longy-Shops on Yesterday at 11:03:45 pm »
      According to Henry Winter the PL can veto the vote regardless.

      That being said I don't think the scrapping of VAR is what is really at play here. Think this vote is just to show clubs are unhappy with how it's going and this will put pressure on the PGMOL to improve and also on IFAB to change certain protocols.

      What you will probably see is greater transparency in the stadium and the ability to hear the audio like in most other sports.
      I didn't know about the veto......For me any vote which can be veto'd is a waste of time. I take your point about it being a sounding board to gauge the mood officially, but the PGMOL are in contact with football authorities and administrators, and the media etc.etc....they already know the system isn't working as designed. Clarity over the rules will help, ie what is the threshold for handball in the box?...there are all kinds of opaque situations which are a pen one week and not a pen the next...some send the ref to the monitor...some do nothing. My question is can it really be improved?...improved enough that the decision making is far more accurate than it is now? I think there can be gains, but they would be minimal, and nowhere near enough to justify the use of system. The system is convoluted, it takes too long, it's overly inconsistent...and all those things combined add up to a diluted match experience and mind-blowing frustration for the spectators....Remember it is supposed to be entertainment.
      I've said before I'm not convinced there's anything to be gained from fans hearing a VAR official telling the ref something that those fans adamantly disagree with. An example: VAR official over the tannoy says "Odegaard potential handball...judged to be accidental" Do you think anyone in Anfield feels even a smidgen better for hearing that?....neither did I.

      A total dead rubber of a game for Jurgens last. The result irrelevant. Just a day for Jürgen and the crowd to show him one final time how much we appreciate what he has done for our great club the past 9 years.

      A real shame how it's all panned out but I'm also quite excited for our next journey ahead.

      Without the presence of the 115 charges club it could have been an even more successful reign.

      Ultimately I think that was part of what wore him down.
