A good percentage of said happy clappers were never seen again after 2012...

Tottenham were getting a lot of flak last week. However, the reason Liverpool get more grief is their previous tone of moral superiority and sanctimony... ‘we are Liverpool, this means more’, ‘a club steeped in the Socialist ethos of Bill Shankly and our city’ and on it goes. They’ve been outed as greedy hypocrites no different than any other big football club.

Ah but he may have meant ‘ye olde back in’t day’

Yeah don’t think it was ever available to buy. Club wouldn’t be able to get it on sale quick enough these days...

Think people forget how good Shearer was in the air, and he wasn’t particularly tall either.

Great read as the scales fall out of the eyes of the LFC fans, yep, you are not a morally superior institution, just another club in the PL cesspit... https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=345137.0

From memory the yellow keeper shirt was only ever worn that day.

Good old days? 1980 - 2010 is a good a period as any. The 80s. When a club without a pot to piss in consistently challenged at the top of the second tier and won a cup. The 90s... say no more. 2000s, a post Jack world yet we were a solid PL club with some top managers and players, won a trophy, numerous semi finals and European campaigns. All thrown away in the early 2010s in just months of mismanagement and it isn’t due to rose tinted glasses that we fondly look back at the achievements of that previous 30 year period.

Baggio was mid 2000s

The goalkeeper position was a strong point for decades until this shower darkened our doors... like a lot of club strengths that have atrophied under this lot.

Kevin Moran, Trojan of a player.

He’s also in our dressing room in some of the celebration clips from Anfield.

The 2014- 2016 time was a revolving door of crap coming in and out... Cameron Stewart, Liam Feeney, Jay Spearing, Akpan, Delfounso, Simeon Jackson, Paul Taylor, Varney and many more others have posted...

Bournemouth are a prime example, crowds of 10,000 and they are buying players for £25million and paying a number of them 50/60k a week. House of cards is apt.

Batty? Who didn’t rate him? Top class player, only issue was missing large periods with injury Short and Ooijer were always appreciated too from what I remember. Jansen is up there as a club great. I’d say under appreciated by the wider game as in the 2000s it was always unfashionable Rovers in the media (see Friedel and Tugay who would’ve been household names at a higher profile club) not that we didn’t love them.

The Newcastle side that didn’t win the title in 1996 gets far more coverage and sentimental reminiscing in the media than the side that actually won it the year before.

It's very simple, if Brad had been at Tottenham for 8 years and at Rovers for three instead of vice versa, he'd be in.

What did Nixon say?

Always the way. Its like when Damien Duff for Sky did his Best XI (and subs) who he played with and didn’t mention a single Rovers player as even a contender for inclusion.

There was a good piece in today’s Times on just that. League’s across sport are resigned to the fact that TV rights deals have now peaked and future contracts could slump dramatically as Sky/BT here and foreign subscription services are shedding customers and may never recover many of them.

Ha where do you think I nicked it from!

Butt out, nowt to do with you lot

Or an empty training ground, nice backdrop of a tree and some cones.

The Deputy CMO believes we are looking at 6 months of fairly substantive restrictions (if not a strict lockdown). So, the remainder of the 2019/20 season fits in where?
