OT2 title suggestions? 🤔

Arsenal-City-Liverpool 4-4

 

[RocknRola]

Na, footy thread was huge a few years back.

Who else wants to get thier name in the score sheet?

What caused the decline?

 

[PowderedToast]

Klopps in game management is so poor at times. Losing an AM is no excuse for losing 4-0. Embarrassing.

We don't have enough quality to sit back and absorb, and he purposefully took off all our outlets, so we are basically a headless chicken

thread got banned because people cried on about mod decisions in OT and gaming side

also, they kept discussing their breakfasts

We set ourselves up to attack with Firmino-Salah-Mane, with Mane sent off and already down to 10, we were fucked.

I'm only really annoyed we conceded a second before half time, that really killed the game. Otherwise we could have played for draw if we'd have got a lucky goal.

The money was there to buy quality. This all falls on Klopps shoulders. I don't want to hear a single complaint out of him.

Yup. Anyone would maintain defensive shape when one man down, but Klopp maintains offensive shape.

ahahahaha please choose this

Yeah that doesn't really answer my query though.

Players get sent off without making contact. If you jump in with two feet, studs up, but don't make contact, it's a red card. Why? Endangering an opponent. As per the rules state.

You all agreed that Bellerin endangered the opponent, so why is he not sent off too.

The bolded is intent. It's important to be able to make the distinction.

 

[MikeBison]

What would have endangered him more? Kicking him in the head, or not kicking him in the head?

Take your time.

Ok so are you telling me that the rules aren't correct? Everyone agreed that both are cases of endangering a player.

So you that's not the rule then? You have to reach a level on endangerment not defined by the rules?

 

[His Majesty]

Fractured but Ox.

lmao

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

What caused the decline?

The footy thread was banned for a few seasons, wasn't it? Same as the currently lukewarm NBA OT.

 

[TeddyBoy]

Fractured but Ox.

Ok this one gets my vote.

 

[Lashley]

will tyler stfu comparing every foul with the mane one

 

[King_Moc]

Yep, never seen an honest attempt to make a genuine two footed challenge in my life.

 

[ambar_hitman]

First time City have scored 4 goals vs Pool since 1937. Now that's historical.

 

[KingSnake]

I'm not sure what discussion would have warranted a ban of the thread?

Not yet, but it's just the beginning of the season and things gotten already pretty rough.

What if Arsenal starts playing well now that Ox left?

 

[Stead Fast]

Fractured but Ox.

Fuck, I wish this wasn't so good, but it is.

 

[Zasa]

Fractured but Ox.

Bruh 😂👌

I'll be elated. I can see it happening too, he was dire.

Walcott needs rid of too.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

I would die

 

[GoldenCrow]

With all of this talk of dangerously high boots: I'm always curious when bicycle kicks in crowded penalty boxes are given a pass. It seems like half the time I see them they get whistled for a foul, and the other half end in wondergoals that the ref doesn't dare wave off. Seems like it would always be 'dangerous'. *shrug*

Because its only considered a high boot when its a 50:50. A bicycle kick is done when clear in space, if they boot a person in the head its usually a card.

 

[brokenbeans]

Fractured but Ox.

WINNER!

 

[Lashley]

When does OT2 begin then?

'The Great Purge'

We dont talk about it. 🤐

There was an earlier purge too. Some of the diehards started their own forum. I can't remember their names now though.

I posted there for a while but there weren't enough "so, I've just had a shit and..." threads there.

Arsenal Bournemouth... It's gonna be a tight one. Reckon Welbeck to score the only goal and it leaves everyone feeling confused. The definition of bittersweet.

Because refs have room for interpretation, that's why rules in England are enforced differently than in Spain or Italy.

Certain actions are contingent on consequence, not all refs will discipline high boots because it's high boots.

Salah continued and scored a goal, the consequence of Bellerin's action was far less than Mané. Completely different situations.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I have been begging for Walcott to finally get his transfer to Liverpool years, but now that I have zero confidence in our ability or intentions to adequately replace him...

 

[King_Moc]

A high boot new a player isn't a red card, it's a yellow (and an indirect free). Kicking someone in the face is.

And not everything is fully defined in the rules. A lot of it is left up to the ref to decide.

 

[TeddyBoy]

When does OT2 begin then?

When Luna makes the thread...

*hint*

 

[faridmon]

also, they kept discussing their breakfasts

Not to open the can, but that mod was not good and is not a mod anymore.

But yeah, there was alot of offtopic talk

 

[Sun Bather]

Every community thread eventually gets purged, when the community aspect of community threads becomes too big.

 

[Lunar FC]

Yeah, I wasn't around for the first purge, so I was never sure the nature of it.

When does OT2 begin then?

After this disaster of a match.

 

[Labadal]

Will Sanchez play this week?

 

[TeddyBoy]

Please don't talk about it Farid! We survived last time, let's not make it happen again.

But the ref's decide differently every single week. Usually differently within the same game.

 

[Lashley]

I was around in the first purge but I barely posted tbh, it was right at the start of me joining

 

[Beefy]

What a goal

 

[Zasa]

Mamma Mia Sané, really hope we get to see him on the right more this season. His Schalke days cutting in on his left foot >

 

[His Majesty]

Ox narrowly misses the record, what a lucky bastard.

 

[D4Danger]

Lol just pushing it around like a training session

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Sane the new Robben

 

[King_Moc]

But the ref's decide differently every single week. Usually differently within the same game.

I can't remember the last time a player was booted in the face and was left motionless on the ground for over 5 minutes, but OK.

 

[ambar_hitman]

5-0 LMFAO. Liverpool fan tv should be lit fam.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I need a drink.

 

[Sun Bather]

I was around in the first purge

Your join date is 2013, so I'm pretty sure you weren't. The one a few years back was the second.

 

[brokenbeans]

Welp lol

 

[Lashley]

Sane has ruined the meme

 

[Stead Fast]

Fuck it, I'm laughing now
