However, as I have already said it is not an Irish/English thing that gets me it is creation of a false brand association. Happens everywhere in the world people in Asia/Africa/USA latch on to Real/Barca/Man United/Liverpool/Man City brand etc

I am not sure what the issue of language as to with it? Because regardless of what language is used, other places in the world would still claim to support those brands. In whatever language they use.
It is more of a problem of the human condition.

Oil money can buy a lot but it can't by fans like this.

And I got accused of being on my high horse!?

This is exactly the type of thing I do not get.

It does not make any sense, you are just as much a 'consumer' as Chelsea/Man City fans.
Or is your brand choice considered more 'authentic' in your mind?

Really? Drab, drab game with one moment of quality from origi and a few good saves

Mané had a moment of quality before that in fairness where he flicked past...Kane I think...and turned on the afterburners. Milner shot just wide from that chance

There’s a thread for why Irish people support English teams on AH

This is about the game, just enjoy the celebrations. We can argue next week, today is for being hungover and happy. And watching the video of Henderson hugging his dad

For soccer people not to go games on thier doorstep when it is affordable 15â‚¬ and can get a bit of entertainment for that price baffles me. You would expect more soccer people to go for that reason alone. It is only the price of a couple of pints, no plane required Particularly when we are supposed to be such a patriotic/parochial country.

Bollox talk

I tried the whole loi crap on many occasions. Had myself a season ticket for limerick. Cold dark evenings watching **** football soon wore thin. Then upon reflection i thought what is the point. Why am i watching a bastardisation of a team that use to exist. The limerick team has been reformed renamed and reimagined more times than i wish to care. The fact is these amatuer sides serve no purpose to our entertainment. They exist only because they are a requirement if you want a national side. The fai dont give a **** about loi so why should i? I go a few times a year to liverpool games and ill watch the odd local game (i love how loi is the real dedication but we never talk about actual local teams) down the road when im walking the dogs. I will even watch the odd celtic game as a friend of mine is a fan. But liverpool are the only team i support.

If i had to choose between a free season ticket to watch limerick fc or pay astronomical amounts to watch every liverpool game on tv (i do), its not even a consideration.

If the fai ever do bother i will give it a chance again but why should i care when they dont?

As for the Irish identity spiel....... adapt or get left behind

Spurs fan talking about the Liverpool 2nd and ball placement does not mention the ref changed the rules to allow a player getting treatment to come back on the pitch also not talking about Spurs moving the ball about 5 yards for a free kick just before

mikeym · 02-06-2019 09:29PM

I loved watching the trophy parade today.

Everton fans are probably on holidays because Liverpool is RED

citytillidie · 02-06-2019 11:25PM

Ex players who played the game on the hand ball since that what seems to matter

Ah you are yeah, but it doesn't look funny doesn't they are shouting at a fella to close down a ball and run at pace - when they themselves are extremely unlikely to do so as they are so unfit?
As I said if people enjoy it let them at it.

Your posts are bizarre. I'll leave you to it.

He’s weird. I’ve been to Cork City games (stopped a few years back), plenty of pot belly guys roaring at the players to run. But somehow it fits into his weird argument. Bizzare infatuation he has.

Johner · 03-06-2019 11:35AM

Congrats to the Liverpool fans, overall they definitely deserved a trophy this season.

Not a great final but finals are for winning not looking pretty. I thought Spurs played well up until the final third.

Mane and Van Djik were excellent I thought, Salah had a really poor game.

Agent Coulson · 03-06-2019 03:24PM

I see it being reported that, that poor attempt at streaking is set to earn that woman €3m in advertising across her social media platforms.

She couldn't even steak properly imagine how much she would have made if she actually streaked properly naked.

UEFA squad for the season. I'd query no Matip but I suppose they had to squeeze De Ligt in and the inclusion of Kevin De Bruyne who hardly played.

Goalkeepers
Alisson Becker (Liverpool)
Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona)

Defenders
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
Matthijs de Ligt (Ajax)
Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham)
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Andy Robertson (Liverpool)

Midfielders
Moussa Sissoko (Tottenham)
Hakim Ziyech (Ajax)
Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Frenkie de Jong (Ajax)
Tanguy Ndombele (Lyon)
Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool)
David Neres (Ajax)
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)

Forwards
Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Dušan Tadić (Ajax)
Sadio Mané (Liverpool)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)
Lucas Moura (Tottenham)

The Good Ole Boys · 03-06-2019 04:38PM

When you see the 3 Liverpool man in the defence you know what a good job Klopp did this year.

KDB played 4 games and one of those was a cameo against Spurs.

Fabinho should definitely be in there ahead of De Bruyne, it’s not like they had to choose an attacking midfielder and as others have pointed out, he didn’t play much and his only truly outstanding performance was the second leg against Spurs.

Fabinho and De Jong have been the best two midfielders in the knockout stages IMO, and if they were only going to put one Liverpool midfielder in, they got it wrong (as much as I love Gini Wijnaldum).

Ye have possibly the two best fullbacks in world football id argue at the moment, one an academy player and another ye got for peanuts. Just shows that money doesnt buy it.
With VVD probably the best CB right now and Allison in the top 3 GK's this year, ye lads are sorted defensively for a long time, which is a scary thought.

Still wreckon you need a better partner for VVD but to be fair i dont follow the club so i wouldnt watch or view the players as ye lads do.

I’d agree on a better partner for VVD but Matip has been excellent since Christmas - certainly exceeded expectations in games like the Barcelona second leg.

Wouldnt disagree there. Im moree thinking if ye loose VVD next season through injury will Matip step up. Ye definately need another CB so why not get a solid partnership going like we had with rio and vidic.
There hard to come buy to be fair and the right signing could be big

He's proved he wouldn't step up because we've seen him play alongside Lovren and they weren't great. VVD is irreplaceable during a long term absence. The fact that Matip stepped up this season is more to do with playing alongside VVD, that's the effect Van Dyke has and it's credit to Matip as well because he has been brilliant.

I'd be happy with them being the partnership next season if it came to that, but as you say it would be great to bring in another world class centre back, push Lovren out and Joe Gomez looks the future as well.

Hard to find these world class defenders though, we're lucky to have VVD.

Yeah I remember when Vidic got that long injury and United had Rio and Evans for most of the season but with Rio being so good and having so much experience he was able to carry Evans to a fairly good season. However when Evans had to man the defence without Rio he just wasn't good enough.

Having VVD he will be able to carry a slightly lesser defender (Matip) but if VVD gets an injury that lesser defender is very likely to struggle without the guidance.

Considering how much money pool must have made from CL and PL this season surely they will go big on at least one player. Could be what sees them across the line in the PL
