Is it bad to say that sometimes when Liverpool lose I avoid MOTD & maybe even other PL games that weekend. I'd watch another league instead.

I never watch it if Liverpool lose

Why support a club if you don’t enjoy the sport in general? That’s directed at a lot of people btw, not just one here. It’s baffling tbh. I watch at least four games a week (more if there’s midweek games) from various leagues, but mainly the PL and Ligue 1. I wouldn’t feel qualified to give opinions on potential transfer targets if I hadn’t seen them play at least one full game (or at the very least read plenty about them from well respected football journalists). Highlights mean nothing, you could easily put together a two minute video that makes Lovren look like a solid defender.

I’m sure those aren’t going to be popular opinions here but that’s just the way I feel about it.

reddit soccer streams for sources, install Ace Stream (there are loads of guides on how to use it) rarely missed a game when living abroad for donkeys years.

Dont tell the world!

I reckon acestream is a sand-pit test box for future paid streaming apps, it usually has a range of resolutions for the Pool matches anyway.

This season I almost only watch Liverpool games, with a few others thrown in. This is due to the rearing of a future Liverpool fan though (his only other option is to have no interest in football), so once I secured permission rights to the Liverpool games I can gradually reintroduce others as time goes on.

If I miss a game which is rare, or want to figure out what went badly wrong if we fell apart, I might watch the extended highlights, but usually I won't be running to revisit a loss.

Prudent approach to the indoctrination process

I love the sport,I just have no interest in other clubs I just want us to beat them,I can't for the life of me watch man utd for example
I enjoy watching the world cup and euros though,I can't stand utd,Chelsea,spurs so why would I want to watch them,as I said I can get all I need from motd highlights of other clubs,you get the good and bad of their games in 5 mins job done

I can think of a hell of a lot worse games to be honest at least both these teams try to play football.


WBA vs Stoke.

WBA vs Anyone.

Stoke vs Anyone.

Then there was that time I watched Anyone vs Anyone. Can't remember who was at home but it was a serious borefest.

Is that the game they were managed by Jose and Big Sam.


You wait all day for a bus to come along then two park up at the same time.

It was actually West Brom. They had borrowed a taxi.

To be fair not even their own fans can tolerate the football served up :pac:

Highlights just show goals and near goals, without watching the actual match you miss that great pass they made, that excellent piece of defending. Like I couldnt form any opinion on a liverpool player's performace in a match just by watching MOTD. Sure the analysts will sometimes highlight a players performance but its usually tedious and probably bores like Danny Murphy and Phil Neville talking.

I adore the game always have always will but with age I get the chance to watch less and less, so at the moment its Liverpool games only, Its just not practical to spend my time watching other games on tv to much going on with work , missus and a young daughter , If we get round to having a son it'll be an excuse to watch more games again to teach him the game

Lazio have confirmed this evening that de Vrij will be leaving in the summer for free after withdrawing there new contract offer to him.


Jump all over that quickly.

Was about to post that he'd been hooked on 61 mins. Balls to that if it's true.

Saw a few tweets that he was having a great game:

Let it be semi serious and have it end his season so he doesn't have to play for RB again this season and can go house hunting in Liverpool.


Get a good recovery and holiday in before starting preseason.

Paul Cook is a Scouser of course, was he the one who had Sligo playing like Brazil? I remember a bit of a meme (before anyone knew that word existed) about it.

That's him. Better times for the bit'o'red than the last few seasons.

NukaCola

I thought that City team was the greatest of all time? Fair play to Wigan, even if we have to hear about the "magic" of the FA cup for a few weeks :pac:

Amazing stuff by Wigan,and I even watched the last 20 mins,that's why the fa cup is the greatest cup competition in world football,maybe not the most prestigious but the best definitely

It has been years since I was at an LOI game, I'm more of a casual follower of Rovers than anything (as in I look out for the results more than actually know anything about the team), but I remember being in school during the 93/94 season when they won the FAI Cup, Division 1 and the D1 Shield (now that's a treble!) and the buzz around the showgrounds was great. I think I went to about 10-12 games that season including the cup semi and the final against Derry. Great buzz. Pity Willie McStay left after that.

I meant to go last Friday night but something came up and I couldn't. Haven't been for a while either but intend to go to a few games this season. My 6 year old daughter loves football but hasn't been to a game yet so I've promised her this season.

You were bloody blessed. Awful it was.
