I moved from the Kop when it went seated as they were so cramped, upper centenary are very good

hmm last time I was in the lower centenary near the Kop and it was very cramped. Pre match food was great and halftime pies were awesome though.

 

[antijoke]

I wish I could go more often

The lower centenary was the old, original stand, the upper centenary (and of course the new upper Main Stand) was added later and built under different regs which is why the seat spacings are bigger.

yes lower is still the old Kemlyn and really bad

 

[BaZ87]

You're a lot older than me so should remember but did they fully demolish the old Kemlyn stand or did they just add the upper tier to it?

 

[Rotty]

just took roof off and added another tier

6-7(?) weeks later, Firmino's finally been cleared of any wrong doing:

[Rotty]

Did Holgate not get a ban?

 

[BaZ87]

For the accusation? The FA found that while they interviewed 12 different players and officials and had specialist lip readers view multiple TV angles (including ones not televised) of the incident and not one person backed up Holgate's accusation, they did believe he made his accusation in good faith. Ultimately only Holgate knows whether he genuinely misheard Firmino or whether he made it all up - short of him admitting that he made it all up it would be impossible to prove.

 

[chroniclard]

For the shove into the hordings I guess.

 

[BaZ87]

I suppose if anything was to be done about that then it would have directly after the game. You can only assume that Madley saw the incident (despite not even awarding a free-kick) and that's why retrospective action can't be taken.

 

[Rotty]

For the shove into the hordings I guess.

yep

 

[kinetic747]

The very least Holgate should do is issue an apology to Firmino.

So, I obviously don’t pay much attention to Man City and KDB, but I always see his name as keeping Salah out of winning player of the season, what has he done that Salah hasn’t to earn the award over him?

 

[antijoke]

Been an amazingly productive, standout player in a team full of talent... and his impact will probably help achieve multiple trophies. He’s been a fantastic, rounded player for most of the year. Whereas Salah’s been amazingly productive but for nothing so far. On the Sunday Supplement they mentioned that if he wins in the Champions League it might make it a tad more difficult. They’re not saying Salah’s gash, just that they’re both incredible and actually winning stuff strengthens KDB’s case.

And from OptaJoe

26 - No player within the big five European leagues has scored in more competitive club games than Mohamed Salah (26 games) in 2017-18. Phenomenon.

 

[BaZ87]

A little bit of good news regarding Ox - supposedly he's not done his ACL and while his season is over, the club hope he'll be fit for pre-season.

 

[antijoke]

Gutted for him.

Will be a big loss! Who would've thought we would ever have said that.

 

[BaZ87]

Firmino's signed a new contract

 

[Sui]

The anxious wait for Liverpool fans as to whether Salah will be able to play his last 2 games now!

The video looks pretty conclusive really, and should be banned. I know he flails his arms around a lot in general but I don't think can argue that.

I don't want him to be banned as I'd like to see him beat the record, but swinging a hand like that just isn't on.

Liverpool no.2 Buvac, has quit ! 17 years with Jurgen Klopp, apparently they have had a falling out and barely talk anymore. Klopp used to refer to Buvac as the actual brains behind his management.
