Klopp now saying he will only pay the fine if it goes to 'a good cause'. Comes across as a right prick pretending to be the good guy when he is setting a terrible example of abusing match officials.

Premier League should announce Jürgen Klopp is only coming back in the dug out when he pays the fine, no matter how long it takes.

Looks like they're planning a KKK rally in Newcastle tomorrow

It's almost too on the nose to be believed.

At least 12 killed in a crush at a standium in El Salvador, forged tickets, and trying to enter after gates were closed has been the reason given

Nothing ever changes and they never taken meaningful action.

Valencia 1-0 Real Madrid: Vinicius Junior sent off after racist chants at Mestalla - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65666613

I'd rather watch my cat shit in the garden than that league.

 

[Alan]

Headline makes it sound like his reaction to the racism was what got him dismissed, which honestly in that league is believable.

 

[Tredman]

Not really, seems like he was being racially abused most of the match and lost it. Not the first time this season.

We are over a decade away from the Lewis Hamilton black face, nothing has really changed since then

 

[Alan]

@Tredman tbf I don't mean to imply that any reaction he could have had would justify the sending off. Just mean that when I read the headline, I imagined the following:

Fan is racist -> Vini reacts to racist fan -> ref sends Vini off immediately for reaction

I'm glad it wasn't quite that but it's hardly a silver lining, is it.

In the scuffle at the end of the game Vinicius was put in a chokehold by a Valencia player and he lashed out at them, the VAR replay showed to the referee didn't show the chokehold.

Whole thread of it just from one season

I've just rewatched the video I posted with sound on and what cunt is on co-comms there?

Vinicius is no Saint. We should stand against racism but

Get the fuck outta here.

Sort of football news, Graham Souness is going to swim the channel to raise money for a girl with ‘ butterfly skin syndrome’ that’s where your skin tears or blisters at the slightest touch and there’s no cure for it.

Juventus, after having their 15 point deduction removed have now got a 10 penalty after the punishment was reviewed.

 

[Tony Towner]

Can't remember which thread it was being discussed on the other week, but I like this metric for the big club argument. Of the PL 20 I suggested Forest and Norwich would be replaced by Boro and Blues

They've been a bit naughty there saying "he bet on his own team to lose 13 times", when they were bets on Newcastle losing while he was on loan at Wigan. Betting on himself to score is probably the really dodgy one, as that can definitely impact how you'd play the game

 

[Tony Towner]

Betting on Newcastle and Wigan to lose when he's not involved is still inside information

 

[Del Woppio]

The Wigan ones fair enough, but I wouldn't be screaming insider trading if Ryan Giles had Arsenal in his accumulator this weekend
