Quote from: johnnycool on May 09, 2024, 11:40:24 AMFFS, the commentators last night and now the English press going full bullshit mode on Tuchel for taking Kane off and that being the change in fortunes for Bayern...

Now I didn't see most of the game so maybe Kane was having a stormer, but the game turned on Neurer fumbling the ball, nothing more, nothing less.

He holds onto that ball, Bayern hold out and alls well with the British press.



All the big chat from the English TV and press about this being about the two English guys, both were pretty anonymous throughout. Kane had one great pass which set the goal up, but his lack of pace at this level exposed when he couldn't get on the end of two good through balls.

Bellingham the same, quiet in Germany in the first leg and quiet again last night.

Hit the post 6 times in that game alone I think.

No love for them at all as a club, but some nights it just was never going to be.

Terrible tragedy for all concerned. RIP
Hopefully the kids will pull through.

Still need to beat Dublin and Carlow and that was always going to be the case anyway.

You could depend on Galway for nothing!

The fact that Bonnar Maher is even still around the squad shows the problems are much deeper for Tipp.

Was a quality player in his day but that was a few seasons ago.

Shambles last night and I think that will spell the end for ETH.

He was probably close to the exit anyway but dont see any way back for him now, I still would be prepared to give him time but I don't think many others will.

McT is home grown so he transfer is pure profit and would help against the PSR regulations if they are getting tight.

No chance of off-loading Athony this season, so they are stuck with him for a bit.

Sancho and Greenwood are more likely to head for the exit.

If DG gets a positive outcome for the season he will be gone.

As to where he goes or who would take him that's an entirely different conversation.

Don't think anyone overly shocked by this, the 3 young lads and I personally would include Bruno will be off limits.

The rest are available for a bid.

The rebuild has to start somewhere, losing Martial and Varrane off the wage bill will help, if could get Casimero and Erikson off to Saudi that would also be a big help.

Quote from: imtommygunn on April 30, 2024, 08:31:28 AMI'm not convinced Shefflin is cutting it with Galway.

Cork are really up against it now and will have to beat Limerick or I would say they're out. Waterford need to beat Tipp or they're likely out too and same if Tipp don't beat Waterford. Tipp beating Waterford would help Cork a bi though.

I think Galway and Dublin should switch managers, O'D looks completely lost with Dublin doesn't seem to know how to progress them. Shefflin doesn't seem to be getting a tune out of Galway and IMO hasn't improved them either.

O'D back to Galway where he at least was passionate about it and knows the players, Shefflin to Dublin to bring that big name bounce and attract more players to the Dublin set up.

Both currently treading water and going no where fast.

Quote from: imtommygunn on April 29, 2024, 06:54:19 PMDublin a big game for both teams now. It's the kind of game we have got to before and got hammered. We're better prepped this time I think though.

Also Dublin have dropped their level quite a bit, I think genuinely we have been the better team over the past number of years despite the results.

Makes more sense now, definite second yellow a moment of madness unfortunately.

Serious questions to be answered by Tipp now after that performance, no point picking big men to compete physically with Limerick as they have the physicality and the hurling to go with it.

Was it a second yellow or straight red I couldn't pick it up.

Big result for the lads, but probably not a shock even with the performance the week before in Nolan Park.

Strange that our best players on the day all have played very little in the lead up to the game.

Maybe something to be said about freshness.

The draw between Wexford and Dublin could prove crucial.

Quote from: Turf on April 25, 2024, 01:17:41 PMMaybe he will stand in the centre circle and tell the fans their job now is to support the new manager aka 'the chosen one'.

Klopp is leaving Liverpool far better than he found them. If he had would nothing else apart from the Premier League he would still be considered a legend imo. The fact he won everything there was to win (apart from the Europa League obvs) means he will go down as one of the greatest managers the club has ever had.

Certainly whomever comes in has big boots to fill but they should be given time because it's probably going to take next season at the least to find his feet at such a big club. 

Genuinely intrigued that Liverpool fans will hold him in such high esteem, or maybe is it recency bias? He delivered one league title in 9 years?

I get that he is an iconic figure and was box office and even fans of other teams will miss him from the EPL.

They hadn't won any league titles in the 30 years previous, 1 in 9 isn't bad considering!
I'm actually genuinely intrigued about how someone couldn't see him as anything other than a success at the club but sure each to their own I'm not here to change anyone's opinion on him.
Liverpool fans will hold him in the highest of esteems and probably won't care what any other fans think.

I was just curious, I know he is a bit of a cult figure. Just wondered if looking back it will be with a bit of regret that it was only one title.

That being said United would take a single title at the moment any season.
