Sad to see Liverpool's billionaire owners joining the other shitehawk owners in looking for the government to pay their way for them in this time of crisis. Amazingly Utds have resisted so far, won't last I'd say..

Absolute joke...

I imagine this will not go down well with the majority of Liverpool fans...

Surely there is a rule in play that can prevent PL clubs from participating in this scheme....

I’m glad there isn’t. For I fear the clubs that use the scheme likely wouldn’t just lay off large amounts of their staff were the scheme not in place.

Exactly, that’s the whole point of the scheme. Why is it right that Mike Ashley, Richard Branson, Philip Green, Stelios from EasyJet et al avail of the scheme but not football clubs??

They'll be on a long list of multi million pound businesses that'll avail of the 80% payments.

But if they had have looked at their business model and planned for a pandemic (cause we all knew Bill told us three years ago) and put some savings away like one poster had up then they'd be fine!

The problem is they can afford to pay players 100k, or 200k a week and yet furlough some girl on 25k a year. It's a f**king disgrace.

The staff aren't losing out. To be fair to the players, Jordan Henderson (at the very least) has organised all the PL captains to put monies towards the nhs.

Why shouldn’t they avail of the scheme? They’re topping up to 100% so the staff aren’t losing out and the tories are footing the bill for the rest

Anybody seen Cats?? Sounds like it's that bad you need to see it.

I watched it yesterday as my youngest wanted to see it. It's bad and I wouldn't waste your time.

They are without a doubt the biggest threat to "the union".

They are also the biggest threat to the peace process.

I just don't see what value they add anyone.
they need a long period in opposition. They walked straight into Johnson't trap.

They've been in opposition all their lives.

2 soft goals equalling things out almost. If Dunloy can get their shooting boots on in the second half and keep the ball moving, I'd fancy them

Disappointed that the Ulster Club Hurling Final isn't being shown this Sunday. Dr Crokes v St Finbarrs followed by Clan NaGael v Corofin

I also think Brolly is spot on regarding UFC. Its basically a bloodsport

You look at the later fights and you can see where the blood has soaked into the mat from previous fights. As far as I can see there really are no rules.

Dana White is a joke with his crocodile tears in the press conference talking about the post fight fiasco.

Dana White's quote a few days later "The pay-per-view numbers are starting to roll in, so I'm in a much better mood than I was on Saturday,"

I expect him to organise a rematch and use the post fight scenes as part of the build up to sell more pay per views. It's all about the money for him/organisation and anything goes as long as it pull in the $$$s

"The page you were looking for doesn't exist."

Lol that backfired.

Works fine for me.

I can understand why some people don't like UFC, each to their own. While not safe, it's much safer than boxing.

When Khabib choked him out in the fourth round, I thought of the fine line they tread between life and death. If that choke had continued, how long before this exhausted human being slipped into a coma? Ten, 15 seconds? What if his windpipe had been crushed? At that point, McGregor could easily have been bleeding into his brain.

The choke wasn't even on his neck, he wasn't paying that much attention.

As for MMA having no rules.......

Dublin are toying with them

Dublin look the more likely but "toying"? I don't think so.

I think they can step it up at any moment

Oh wait, they have
