Quote from: jcpen on May 13, 2024, 07:06:35 PMIt's funny how you have to make up stuff, shows how rattled you actually are...
 ;D
Nothing I said on this thread today was made up.  As Liverpool supporter you need to accept that Klopp's men allowed this league title slip through their fingers than letting it rattle you.

After all that hard work over the last 2/3 months and it backfires on you in spectacular fashion.
No hard work to call things are they are and I had no involvement in Liverpool letting another Premier League title slip through their fingers.

2 covers? Covers should be banned IMO!

Rape Me

SLTS

What's wrong with covers?  Majority of Elvis Presley songs was covers.


My three would be

Lithium
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Come As You Are (including the haunting lyric "I don't have a gun")

@trueblue1234 Best to save your pity for Jurgen Klopp who was on course for a perfect send off which would have been the first league title for Liverpool to pick up in front of a full Anfield for 34 years, a 3rd place finish is no consolation to that

Quote from: trueblue1234 on May 13, 2024, 02:35:00 PMT,is nearly as bad as being 4 points up with a quarter of a game to go and somehow throwing it away. How Armagh managed to orgestrate that level of a collapse is remarkable. Surely one of the biggest bottle jobs in Ulster history.

No where near as bad. Ulster title not won with a penalty shootout and up against a favourite Donegal side with their messiah back leading them. Liverpool on the otherhand dropped points against number of sides they should be beating comfortably over the last few weeks.

When Manchester City pick up the league title next weekend Klopp and his players will know it should have been them instead.

Quote from: J70 on May 13, 2024, 01:43:45 PMYeah, that five penalty takers on repeat rule is ridiculous.

What's the rationale anyway? To be different from soccer?

Then you end up with poor Armagh lad who missed twice against Monaghan last year.

It's cruel sending a lad who already missed up again.

Yes that's it,  taking one penalty is more than enough for fellas to take. When copying another sport to decide matches it should be copied fully.

The best teams on the field also happen to be the best ran off the field. 

On another note it's gone unnoticed this weekend that with two games to play Liverpool can't finish in the top two this season and from this position when the title was theirs to lose.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 12, 2024, 06:40:40 PMArmagh fold again on Penalties, Why was Rian O'Neil taken off. Awful way to lose a game. Some Armagh supporters argue that's that a draw! 4 point up with 20 mins to go, Armagh went bck into their shell instead pushing on.
This time Armagh did not fold, good save to win it. Rian couldn't walk at full time, physio was working on him he had run out of gas. Why Oisin doesn't start or come in earlier is a mystery. But Donaghy telling Jarly Og to recycle a mark that was scoreable  points to a mindset that leads to losing games. Twice at least they had the game won and then stopped doing what was working for them. Players running into dead ends and not taking opportunities points to that  same mindset. Something needs to change, if not McGeeney then the back room. They need a change of direction. Some incredible scores yesterday from both teams, fair play Donegal they found a a way.

Folding in penalty shootout not sure about that however game was certainly there to be won by Armagh in normal time and extra time and will look back on that with much regret.

I thought the last two Armagh penalties weren't good ones.  Patton unlucky he didn't save one before he did save one to win the shoot out.  By that stage it was coming down to fellas that didn't want to take penalties.

Every bit as good as every team in Ulster however still no Ulster title since 2008 as Armagh under McGeeney are jinxed.

Quote from: Itchy on May 11, 2024, 09:26:46 PMIf you are watching eurovision on TV, shame on you.
I'm in the pub and it's on about four big TVs. Can't hear it however Italy looked good. Finland less so.

Quote from: ONeill on May 10, 2024, 11:13:43 PMWell, the Dubs never lost, one draw in a group game v Roscommon. Armagh also failed to win once in a group game v Tyrone. Their other 2 losses were draws in normal time, draws after extra time, then losing on penalties. When I put it in writing, it looks far from what Dublin achieved, but you sort of know what I mean?

They seem to fall on the wrong side of the coin in a lottery.

We know what you mean.  Armagh due a bit of luck and Sunday could be the day for it, if not...

Bayern Munich will need to get rid of Harry Kane if they want to get back to winning major trophies next season.

Real Madrid lead in added time that was a tight VAR call.
