Premier League 2025-26

Lovely stuff.

Win nothing with kids....

I'd agree it was an absolutely pointless and daft tackle by Gordon.

But the outcome was that Virgil got his toe stood on, and that was only the case because Gordon wasn't actually out to do him. If he wanted to hurt him, it would have happened.

Season ending challenge my arse.

He raked his studs down the standing leg of VVD, your suggestion that it should only be a red card if he actually injures VVD is ridiculous.

My suggestion is that before VAR and fifty frames per second of making every tackle look like an assault, then it would have been a yellow card, because the referee would have judged intent on the spot.

Football actually was a better game when people could tackle.

That was a decent sweat!

[Tony Baloney]

Just desserts. That was pure time wasting from Schar and Joelinton. 10 minutes of nonsense to get added time.

[Dag Dog]

Cringe stuff from Liverpool. They haven't played well since PSG gave them the runaround. Fighting on muscle memory at this stage.
Slot won't last long there.

They did similar a few seasons ago when Carvalho scored a late winner.
This was as sweet as that TBF.

Put 50 on Liverpool at 23/10 before game. Handy mhuala

how'd that work out.....

I hope for his sake  it was  only 50p

Lunging with both feet at the standing leg of a player when the ball is long gone is not tackling. It's an attempt to injure opponents.

Aye he'll be sacked in the morning. Man is a complete flop. Terrible manager.

[ONeill]

Strange match. That's a very middlin Newcastle team and Liverpool found it hard to put them away.

It's not possible to have a progressive discussion about tackling and intent, once tribal loyalties get involved.

Same people describing this as a horror tackle will have told us a few times over the years when VDV handed it out, that it's a man's game.

It's not a Liverpool thing by the way. There's plenty of Keane acolytes would tell you that Haaland deserved that challenge.

I prefer football when tackling is a part of the game. Fifty frames per second makes everything look like assault, when it's not.
