Inplay I'm on guys is over 2.5 in the fenix v Nacional game. SHG in last 12 for home. Odds currently 1.38. Slowly putting stake on.

I've been watching videos and podcasts from Mark Goldbridge recently. Speaks alot of sense. Way more than the idiots paid to give their view by the mainstream.

Richard Latimer

@Alex-Rendell if during pub banter I slagged off the office manager of one of my company's biggest clients.

And then if he was German I finished it off by saying German C u next Tuesday.... do you think I would survive the chopping block if it was videoed because I don't???

You cannot possibly ignore the disrespect
You shouldn't be ignoring the xenophobia in 2024
it calls into question every single bad call he ever makes again.

His position is 100% untenable.

Alex Rendell

@Andy-Donnelly agree with you totally on this one and I'm a Liverpool fan!! Having heard the uproar and media circus surrounding this before I watched the clip, I was fully expecting to see him boasting about how he'd shafted Klopp & co, and cost us the title etc...not even close!! But in his position, he really should know better and they can't let it go without some form of disciplinary action.

Andy Donnelly

@Richard-Latimer Yeh shouldn’t have ever trusted the venuezeulans to be fair!

Yeh don’t get me wrong he was stupid to do it on camera, but does sound like it’s pub talk among mates and he has been screwed over by a mate that’s uploaded it.

Richard Latimer

@Andy-Donnelly everyone has opinions you're right. But if you allow them to be recorded then more fool you.

In any other walk of life he's gone. Should be same here. It's massively unprofessional.

Richard Latimer

@Andy-Donnelly I benefitted from this scenario in Sweden so can't say it displeases me

Good old rioting swedes!!

Andy Donnelly

@Ryan Might just be me, but feel this story is so overblown. So he doesn’t like Liverpool or Klopp. Everyone has opinions in any walk of life. Personally don’t feel he should lose his job over it. Suspension for the season would be enough for me.

In other news overnight, just love thinking you are on the right side of a trade. I mean the team you backed is 4-0 up right so should be pretty safe. But then riots and match abandoned on 87 mins. Although official league result of 4-0 stands, according to Betfair rules it has to be voided. FFS.

Ryan

One of the things about this I think is that it's not just about Liverpool, this could bring into the forefront that Refs are actually biased towards teams.... if that starts to happen then the trust is gone and then we are on a slippery slope.

I mean the PGMOL is already getting a tough time with various decisions they are getting wrong.

Richard Latimer

Cue Howard Webb being wheeled on once more to explain it all away.

Then he'll end up with the the next Liverpool v Everton game.

Shannon Townsend

@Richard-Latimer what an absolute t**t although who ever is filiming has clearly got him very high or very drunk and then stitched him right up for his 15 mins of fame... sackable offense and surely cant ref again.

Richard Latimer

@Ryan what an idiot. Of course it was going to get out. Should ruin his career. if the players are under a microscope they should be too.

Surely this is bringing the game into disrepute at the very least.

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer Can't ruin his career, this can't go anywhere.

Richard Latimer

Anyone see that video by referee David Coote? And we try to say that Premier League refs are just s**t rather than biased!

Akiva Anderson

Poor weekend this weekend from me. Think I'm down 6 or 7 points.

In the past I would have panicked. Thankfully those days are long gone

Ryan

This is what the 7th International break?! WTF lol

Craig Greenway

Second goal coming in the bodo v fredrikstad game.

Craig Greenway

@Craig-Greenway missed penalty + a disallowed goal so far

Craig Greenway

Straight into Stuttgart v Frankfurt FHG.
