Evening Ed001.
Hope you're well pal!
What's your thoughts on the the structure within the club?
Edwards back, Ward back, Hughes and Pedro Marques.
Cheers
Drogie.
{Ed001's Note - it seems strange to me to bring back two people who achieved nothing until Klopp arrived, and then put them in roles well above their usual positions anyway. Jobs for the boys it feels like.}
10 May 2024 08:34:43
Ed002, you mentioned Nunez was a Klopp signing. Who else was a Klopp signing out of interest?
I seem to remember Salah was third or fourth choice when we bought him?
{Ed002's Note - I really don't want to get in to this.}
10 May 2024 11:13:48
Fair enough.
10 May 2024 11:19:44
------------We really don't want to open up this can of worms------------
10 May 2024 11:26:58
This is almost more intriguing than who we may or may not sign this summer!
MK - maybe.

I’m now head of recruitment for the canteen, Faithinworks. The tea lady and a few others are close to retirement so I’m on a 6 month contract (similar to Schmadtke’s) to phase in a new tea lady and pot washer etc.
You didn’t hear it from me, but Klopp’s being forced out because he wanted to bring in his wife as Kitchen Manager on a £35k a week 5 year deal but Edwards insists she’s in decline and not worth the wages. It all got a bit heated; turned out Beryl left the hob on.

Any news on when Arne Slot should be announced?
Hearing their is an issue with getting the assistant, due to them being the Holland assistant coach as well?
{Ed002's Note - He wants staff to join him and Liverpool need to negotiate. Sipke Hulshoff wants Liverpool to agree for him to continue his dual role - it should not be an issue for Liverpool.}
10 May 2024 13:35:54
Hi eds. Are there any players you think Slot will want to bring with him? I have no idea about anyone from Feyonord so forgive me if you have already covered this. Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps David Hancko (CB) Only joined Feyenoord in 2002 and a clear not for sale was the response when Newcastle asked after him in 2023. I am not aware of any formal approach from Liverpool to Feyenoord but they were representated by scouts at games against PSV and Celtic in December. Agent has been offering him around with contact made with Chelsea (who have no interest), Liverpool, Bayern Munich and PSG - and likely others.
Feyenoord will not be keen to lose players to Liverpool after losing their coach and some of their staff.}

Anyone think bayern goal onside?
I thought very dodgy madrid second goal and bayern's was a second goal, but it's madrid why should i think they wouldn't win.
09 May 2024 14:40:30
Nothing wrong with either of Joselu's goals in my opinion mate but agree on Bayern's disallowed goal. Laimer clearly onside and the lino and ref have definitely cost Bayern a chance at Extra Time there. For the lino to flag that quickly and then the ref to blow up immediately, you have to query if it's 100% legit/ honest. Most likely just yet more woeful officiating.
09 May 2024 22:20:34
MK, for both the linesman to raise his flag when he should not then for the Ref to blow his whistle very early, meaning that the VAR could not intervene, tells me that something is a bit dodge.
10 May 2024 03:25:11
Absolutely shocking decision. Linesman should keep their flags down unless they'd bet their house on it.
10 May 2024 11:28:08
Think? It was onside! Real shame this happened. Won’t help the conspiracists!
10 May 2024 19:03:17
With the second Madrid goal Joselu was coming back from an offside position. I'm not sure how that rule works but it was in through same phase of play. So whilst he was clearly onside when he scored I was not surprised the assistant flagged as he was clearly off a split second earlier.
The Bayern goal looked offside and it seemed the keeper had stopped when the whistle blew (pure conjecture and impossible to prove) but they should've allowed play to go on and let VAR sort it out. The fact the assistant apologised to Bayern players didn't help the situation.
Semi automatic VAR for offside decisions next season. No idea if that'll be better to worse - we can only hope so.
11 May 2024 00:12:49
Joselu was offside Red but the ball didn’t go to him so when it comes across and he’s behind the ball he’s onside. Perfectly legal goal. The only question was if he was behind the ball when it was played across and he was so it’s fine.
The Bayern disallowed goal was interesting. The linesman flagged because De Ligt was offside but he didn’t get the ball and it went to Laimer who was onside. Theoretically the goal should’ve stood.
However because the flag went up early and the ref blew up the Real players stopped so they might have blocked the shot or the keeper might have saved it had the ref not blown his whistle.
A huge mistake from the linesman that’s dubious at best. It could just be an honest error but it does seem to happen a lot in Real’s favour in the Champions League.
09 May 2024 09:22:30
VAR to the rescue last night for RM.
Whilst it's debatable as to whether Bayern would've scored. what the "beep" was the linesman thinking by flagging for offside?
The incompetence is amazing. 😉.
{Ed025's Note - but is it incompetence or something more sinister JLC?...answers on a postcard..
09 May 2024 10:19:29
On a positive note Harry wins zip again.
09 May 2024 11:57:12
Harry supports Liverpool we all as fans won a league cup?
09 May 2024 12:15:42
I eagerly await your postcards Ed25 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
{Ed025's Note - they are in the post mate...hang on...they are as corrupt as the premier league and the PGMOL.. :)
09 May 2024 12:33:37
Harry supports Liverpool. Where did that info come from? Humorous as ever Ed025.
{Ed025's Note - cheers Gaga..
09 May 2024 15:46:46
I was referring to Harry Kane. Left Spurs with nowt to go to a team where trophies are guaranteed!
09 May 2024 15:54:27
The national post office where I live Ed25 is under administration. as a result of corruption believe it or not.
Just amazing that certain teams always get those favorable calls.
09 May 2024 19:59:01
I don’t think that was the refereeing incompetence or anything dodgy. It’s the spurs curse infecting Bayern. If only he could have gone to City and made the all Spursy.
09 May 2024 07:49:42
I genuinely don't get why true fans and players are fussed about what anonymous strangers write online.
Out of the billions of people on this planet there are literally millions of stupid ones who will write things without meaning them or that have mental health issues that means they do things they don't even realise. Plus other teams fans who pretend to be what they aren't to stir up trouble (there is way more of this happening than people realise! )
Why would you read any of this and take it to heart?
If you react the idiots win. Footballers all have social agencies - let them sort it out. Practice harder. Get a proper hobby. Go walk the dog or help out at a local charity.
Life's too short to worry about what strangers and keyboard warriors think.
Ps I have personal experience of this so speak from the heart and know it works.
09 May 2024 09:11:35
Agree with you there. Perfectly put!
I honestly am not a fan of social media, I personally think it does more harm than good. So step away from the keyboard, focus on yourself and go get some fresh air!
09 May 2024 10:33:39
1jj, I’ll be honest mate, your post is giving off the same vibes as the blokes who tell girls they wouldn’t be assaulted if they just “dressed more appropriately”.
I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way, and what you’ve said is also good advice if nothing else on how we can deal with these situations if they’re unavoidable or becoming too much for us. But it is not the victims fault they receive abuse and death threats, because they chose to be on Social Media. That’s not really an avenue we should be going down in my opinion.
The onus isn’t on the 99% of good people to put up with the 1% minority who are emotionally immature and overtly reactive. It’s not our role in society to accommodate people who can’t integrate themselves into a civil society. They’re the ones who need to change and we shouldn’t lose sight of that mate. Again, sure you didn’t mean it how it sounded, but we have to stamp out cyber bullying and threats. In an increasingly digital world, simply avoiding digital media is not the answer.
09 May 2024 15:28:03
I think you are confusing mean comments with abuse. It's possible to brush of comments calling you an idiot, donkey, or a git. But it's harder to do so when it's people telling you to off yourself. The latter would definitely affect you regardless, especially if it's constantly said by loads of people. I not saying that Nunez' actions are because of this kind of comments but I have seen this kind on social media posts when we don't play well, along with some racially charged ones. It takes more than just walking a dog or picking up a hobby to move past this.
09 May 2024 16:13:55
Well said MKS. Basically this is a form of bullying. It is easy to behave in this way when you are sat at a key board. I do have difficulty understanding why some people feel the need to behave in this way. Maybe there is a psychologist out there who can elaborate.
11 May 2024 00:35:52
You have to look at the age of the players too and how emotionally mature they are.
Nunez is what 24? 25? He’s still a very young man who hasn’t gone through life’s experiences yet so who knows how these comments would affect him?
It could just be a case of him trying harness the criticism and say ‘I’ll show them on the pitch’ that makes him try a bit too hard and not just relax into his own game.
It’s very hard, as much as you try to just brush it off and not let it affect you at all.
