This private board allows contributions by members only. Free speech here has whatever limits the administrator decides to impose. If the administrator decides that racist, sectarian, homophobic, any other kind of bigoted comments bring down the tone of the discussion and so decides to prohibit them, that's his decision. If you disagree, then leave. If you want a board where any kind of dumb, bigoted commentary is allowed, even if only for the purpose of attracting attention, there's no one stopping you starting another one.

If Setanta are willing to go down over protecting whoever assaulted a referee, I've no sympathy for them. That person should be a man and own up instead of messing up the year for the rest of his clubmates and the county team.

Now in the next few months all these foreigners are gonna be playing in our stadium. Its bad enough they work in our fast food outlets and bars but now they're takin over our own game

Twelve replies to TMT, from eight different posters, and no-one thought to challenge the blatant xenophobia above, nor even point out that some of these "foreigners" might have names like Robbie Keane or Brian O'Driscoll (not to mention Andrew Trimble, or even Shane Geraghty, if picked  )
But perish the thought that he might impugn the integrity of a few GAA Presidents...

Totally missed it, as must the others, given that it came after a load of other crap about GAA presidents. I don't there's much tolerance among the membership for that kind of idiocy. It would seem that Two Man Tackle is just another child-minded fool on here looking to stir a bit of shit and get a bit of attention.

watched pool and arsenal on sat thought the "protest" was interesting but can somebody fill me in what this mckenzie fella is supposed to have done wrong? is he to be villified for just doing his editorial job? typical liverpool fan attitude, blame somebody else.

Maybe you should read up on it (try the previous posts in this thread for a start) a bit before coming out with your idiotic "typical Liverpool fan" shite.

Its looks like a second wave of invasion of the board by cretins is underway! Only Flameboy has hung around and tried to clean up his act since the first one after the transfer to the new board. These aren't alter egos of yours Flameboy, are they?

I think it was more that they reckon Liverpool fans stole wallets from the dead lying on the pitch,it was reported in The Sun newspaper at the time and i don't think The Sun ever withdrew the comments

Of course, but the Sun article at the time, titled "The Truth" also alleged that drunk fans without tickets caused the crush by trying to force their way into the stand past the cops. I think there was a lot of anger over the past few weeks because Kelvin McKenzie recently claimed that he only retracted the allegations under pressure from above.

What was the protest about and more importantly what is it supposed to achieve? Its not clear to me.

I think there are still journalists and others out there who maintain that the Liverpool fans were to blame for Hillsborough.

Never mind lads, Donegal Tyrone final, sure we'll get sweet revenge for the embarrassment that was the McAnalan final

Correct me if I'm wrong Gaoth Dobhair I thought you got revenge a few months later in Clones? 

The day Colm McFadden announced himself to the wider GAA public. Let's hope he finally builds on that this coming season.

Fairly run-of-the-mill victory over the scousers. That's 6 goals scored in 2 games against them this year. Hopefully we'll start to see the best of Rosicky now.

When teams come out to play against Arsenal, the Gunners thrive. Henry was ropey enough and was on the verge of substitution when the goal went in.

Never lost at Anfield in the Cup - the spirit remains!!

Couldn't give a toss about Tuesday though Liverpool are sure to go all out after today. Silverware and all that.

I doubt if most Liverpool fans give a toss about it either, especially after today. If the reserves beat Arsenal reserves, then fair enough, but I don't think many will take any pleasure out of a victory in the league cup given what happened today. Anyway, its not as if this Arsenal team are a sure bet for any silverware either, so I wouldn't get too smug.

Jaysus your touchy, J70. Where's the smugness? If Liverpool had beaten Arsenal today, we'd have went all-out for victory on Tuesday, and wanted it.

Saying that, it is great playing Liverpool though. They're even softer than Arsenal! My big fear though is that we'll turn into Liverpool and go a generation without a league title. Must be awful. God forbid.

Sorry O'Neill, misunderstood. I stiil don't think Liverpool will be too bothered about the league cup, nor do I think Arsenal would have been had the roles been reversed. A Liverpool victory on Tuesday would be fairly hollow.

Were you not an Arsenal supporter before '89? That was their first since '71!

And yes, its not great not having won the title in 16 years and counting. The marvellous thing about sport though is that there is always hope that a change is around the corner! I still think Benitez is the man to do it, but we'll see what happens.

Anyway, its not as if this Arsenal team are a sure bet for any silverware either, so I wouldn't get too smug.

Clear off J70, this is our delusional thread, you have your own we don't need any realists spoiling our fun. If only the goons could play Liverpool every week   

I'm sorry, I'll leave you to it!

I'm off to dream of All Irelands for Donegal!

Give the likes of Fowler, Palletta, Warnock

Is Warnock not at Wolves on loan? Or is that Potter?

I take it there will be a lot of critical remarks about Alonso's dive? Thought Liverpool were poor today, and carried little threat. The 2nd and 3rd goals were poor defending, but do you not think Dudek was flat footed for the first too?

Was it a dive? I watched it on an internet stream, so I haven't seen any detailed replays. Looked like contact to me, but I stand to be corrected. If it was a dive, then the card was deserved. Its not as if he is someone who does that every week.

Dudek probably should have done better for the first, but he's hardly played in the past year, so you can't be too hard on him.

Liverpool were one dimensional and never looked like scoring from open play. Aside from a 10 minute spell after the Liverpool goal Arsenal were always in control.

You might reclaim the Kop but you won't be reclaiming the league title with that side any time soon....

Whereas Arsenal are powering ahead with the rebuilding of their title challenge...

Just as I wasn't going to get carried away with the recent run of results against crap teams, I don't think all is suddenly doom and gloom again after today. It was just a bad overall performance, with some shocking defending thrown in. The second and third Arsenal goals were ridiculous. Three or four players had chances to get tackles in on Rosicky in the lead up to the second, whereas there isn't much to say about Carragher's mistake for the third. Given their second-half dominance, Liverpool could easily have got something, but Arsenal defended very solidly on the night, and Liverpool can have no complaints. Anyway, results away to Watford and home to Chelsea (far from a certainty obviously) will wipe this away pretty quickly. That Liverpool need the Dubai money to bring in a few top class players is hardly news. The main thing for this season is a Champions League spot, which should be easily attainable, given the competition.

I hope Benitez sends the reserves out on Tuesday. Give the likes of Fowler, Palletta, Warnock and some of the young lads a run. Dudek could use the practice too. I doubt if Wenger will be fielding a strong team.

Not looking good for Liverpool at half time. The first goal from Rosicky was just a class strike, but what kind of defending was that for the second one? Gerrard won't enjoy looking at either.

Arsenal can just continue to sit back and play on the break now, so I can't see Liverpool clawing this back. Arsenal could easily get another too.

I thought Alonso should have had a penalty. Definitely looked like contact to me.
