He’s done mate. Shadow of himself…. About the 7th best CB in the league now. Seriously? He's being talked about as player of the year along with Foden, Rice, Rodri and Saliba. He's been back to his best this season till Thursday night... Still the benchmark for me. After that horrific injury, it to...

He basically rolled it forward
Absolutely. No try. Williams is pedantic but never when it matters.
Not only that, it’s a deliberate knock on, in a try scoring position with no one in front of him, yellow card!

Grandpa

Ball went forward as he placed it before picking it up didn't it?

How did they miss that?

Yeah, seems that chestnut's been dug up and spun around by tiktok zoomers, whose brains are about as cooked as any facebook uncles I worry. I watched every minute of the court case live at the time. And despite OJ seeming a smug narcissist... something always felt off... like why wasn't the scene f...

Is that true? So not the NZ rivalry... but rather Fijian tours saved the day? To be fair.. they probably were fantastic to watch. Did they play Australia as well? And did they win? This is back in the days when rugby was a pretty slow game, and as a sport was up against league which was overwhelmin...

Grandpa

Perhaps, although Klopp will still want a proper performance next week (and at the weekend) to get back in the groove after a couple of disappointing games. Go out with another loss and losing can become a bit of a habit at the wrong time in the season True... And he probably will go all guns blazi...

I have had a few problems. But nothing too serious. That said I do a lot of "maintenance". On the body of course. And always a positive outlook... or so it seems to an outsider. Can't have been easy supporting the Wallabies at least the last ten years. I grew up loving rugby. The game nearly died o...

Gary Player still looks sprightly for his 88 years... though Jack Nicklaus looked like he was labouring somewhat. I wonder why Player and Watson don't continue to play The Masters?

Stat wise Atalanta had the better xg - Liverpool (1.84) 0-3 (2.73) Atalanta They created the clearer chances.

Gee that bloody hurts. We'd won the game. We were ahead and the ref explicitly said we could run the clock down til full time. How do you conspire to lose from that position? Rivez Reihana, what the f*ck? I just re-watched this... and time was up before he kicked according to the onscreen clock... ...

Stats show Liverpool kind of destroyed them. Was it a classic case of opposition just so clinical with their finishes? 70% possession to LFC 19 shots to 11 643 passes to 270 You had to watch it.

Just got back in and saw the Liverpool result. Quite incredible. Sadly, I watched it. Liverpool were awful from start to finish. The defence was asleep all game... And no intensity anywhere else.

The Boks are super boring boet. The only and proper way to play rugby is with as few as possible set pieces, long range strike plays and counter attacks.
