Let's hope so.

[roversmum]

This is SO wrong. Nine points? Pshaw ... Relegate the blighters

superb! adopted!

here's another hicks saying!

Does purposefully taking out the Fulham keeper not make us a (relatively) dirty team?

I think there's a difference between 'dirty' and 'foul play'

You should know that living in Leeds.

[BuckyRover]

I'm not sure. That's why I said relatively. Which teams are dirtier than Wolves, Stoke and us? We arent like Leeds of old, but nobody is.

Of course there is a difference between Karl Henry and De Jong compared to Diouf's dubious tactics.

Both wrong, but bad tackling threatens careers.

[Iceman]

they are Liverpool, they wont get a points deduction. If that happens, then i wonder if Pompey will ask questions, about why they were deducted points, and not Liverpool.

It doesn't help that the only extra viewing time we see on MOTD involving us is Givet scything someone down.

Givet is hard as nails and full blooded, which leads to occasional bad challenges, but I don't think he's cynically dirty. It's usually very isolated as his tackles are, generally, very well timed. If he started going round kicking people up in the air all game, that's when it becomes dirty.

All very subjective, of course. If I was on the end of a full blooded, but badly timed challenge, I suspect that I'd be calling the tackler a dirty so-and-so!

Leeds werent like Wimbledon though, that bunch were nasty

[BuckyRover]

Iceman. I believe you are correct. There is ZERO chance of Liverpool getting a points deduction.

[philipl]

The 9 point Liverpool deduction talk is not real.

Being done to impress the Judges into giving a quick hearing and appeal hearing ahead of the 15 October RBS deadline and to whip up the anti- Hicks/Gillett fervour another notch.

There will have to be an unlikely series of accidents for the deduction to happen.

[T4E]

Nice one philip - I'll get that bet on.

but as I said above Philip, why are they being inconsistent about it, if indeed Liverpool go into administration? Surely, if you gave Pompey a 9 point deduction, you have to do the same with the Anfield Red Sox Brigade. It’s a case of they are too big a club, for us to do that kind of thing.

Hmmm, really not sure about that the Wimbledon were worse that Leeds, TBH! Leeds have been at it that much longer and hence have had more practice.

[philipl]

If the Court OKs what Martin Broughton has done before next Friday, there will be no need for RBS to put Kop Football into administration.

For the Judges and Appeal Judges to hold quick hearings there has to be real and present danger to the business- hence talking up the 9 points deduction threat with the PL helpfully joining in after saying last night Kop Holdings going into administration would not cause Liverpool to suffer a 9 point hit.

Who is the co-commentator on five live at the moment for the Northern Ireland match? Absolutely @#/?! Popov scored for Bulgaria against Wales tonight :-/

Lawrie Sanchez.

He has a really inflated view of his own importance.

[Dan]

Lawrie Sanchez.

He has a really inflated view of his own importance.

He is completely ignoring the commentator and babbling on too much.

[Bobby G]

Popov who we had "signed" this summer scored the winner tonight against Wales.

[G Somerset Rover]

Looks like we missed a trick with this boy given his performances against England and Wales.

[Amo]

Yeah, but at least we got Benjani, eh?

[DE.]

And let us not forget Keef is also soon to return

[philipl]

Hicks is playing dirty. Going for full disclosure of all Broughton's actions as chairman and all correspondence between LFC and PL. That could screw the timeframe between now and 15Oct.
