Oh and Balotelli scored a free kick for Milan tonight.

Wow Balotelli's goal will be one of the freekicks of the season across any of the leagues.

Some goal in fairness

Trouble with Balotelli is, it will be this time next year he does it again, while Suarez will do it game in game out.

IN all fairness it would be wrong to sack Brendan at this moment in time.

That's very debatable. 6 wins in our last 20 games. Plenty of money spent and this season hitting the skids just as last season finished. Players coming in and being shipped out, back room staff being axed. Eventually, the buck's gotta stop with Rodgers.

I mean, if we can't blame him, maybe we can blame his mentor...

Hopefully Mario has a cracking year over there and they actually stump up the cash for him. best all round.

Honest question, is it really that outrageous for people to predict that Firmino (or whoever else) won't be a success at Liverpool? Aside from the whole "you should support your clubs players" argument, for the more casual fans or supporters of other clubs I would think they are allowed have opinions like this. In a years time they could well be right.

For the record I think/hope Firmino will come good, but don't see why people shouldn't be allowed make a prediction, it's not as if we're in the crowd roaring at the players telling them they will be a failure.

It is if he has played barely a handful of games, none of which were in his preferred position.

Everyone is entitled to their views of course but this is a discussion forum so people should expect a bit of back and fourth, especially when something rather controversial was said.

Fair answer, agree it isn't completely fair to judge him for multiple reasons (games, position, new league etc.). But there have been players in the past where after a handful of games it was clear that they were not going to be a success.

Making a prediction is fine I think. Stating a fact is something different. In both cases you should have enough data/evidence to back up your statement though, or expect to be called on it.

Calling a highly rated player "crap" based on less than 300 minutes of football is outrageous IMO. Backing up that opinion with stuff like "he hasn't the bottle for the premier league" while making fun of his appearance is not what I'd call a prediction anyway, which is where all the Firmino stuff has come from in the thread tonight.

When it comes to Firmino all we can really go off is his time in Germany where he was highly rated. Plenty of stats to back up why he should be a success here but I dont want to get into that really.

So, no its not outrageous to predict a player will fail, but if you cant back that up or at least outline a reasonable explanation for your conclusion then you should be expected to be called out for it.

I wasn't interacting with them and no longer see their posts. I'd classify that as ignoring.

And after I'm not sure how many posts of ****e I've had to wade through thanks to the two of them, it felt good to get it off my chest that it will no longer be an issue.

Edit: You and your sneaky edits
