Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

FA to consider spying charges over claims Liverpool hacked into Emirates Marketing Project’s scouting system

FA disciplinary chiefs will consider whether Liverpool’s sporting director Michael Edwards and two other staff members should face individual misconduct charges over allegations they hacked into Emirates Marketing Project’s scouting system, once they have collected all the responses from both clubs.

The FA’s regulations and disciplinary department has had responses from the clubs but it is likely that they will ask for answers to more questions. A decision on whether disciplinary proceedings should follow is understood to still be some way off.

Edwards and two former City scouts, Dave Fallows and Julian Ward, were named in a confidential settlement between the clubs in 2013, in which Liverpool paid City £1 million compensation.

[...] Edwards was Liverpool’s director of performance and analysis at the time of the alleged hacking. Fallows is now Liverpool’s head of recruitment, while Ward, who was Liverpool’s European scouting manager for Spain and Portugal, is the club’s loan pathways and football partnerships manager.

It has been alleged that the login of Rob Newman, a Emirates Marketing Project scout, was used illicitly by senior Liverpool staff on hundreds of occasions from June 2012 to February 2013.

Emirates Marketing Project fear repeat of bus attack after message to Liverpool fans

Emirates Marketing Project have sought assurances from Liverpool of a safe passage to Anfield for the potentially pivotal title match on Sunday, with the champions flagging up a social media post asking fans of the Merseyside club to line the potential route of City’s team coach.

City are concerned the coach could be attacked by Liverpool fans as it was in April 2018 before the Champions League quarter-final when bottles, cans and flares were thrown. Although no players or staff were injured, the vehicle was left unsafe to drive.

While the clubs are in constant dialogue in the buildup to the game – as is normal practice – it is understood the problem has been raised at executive level by City. They expect it to be taken seriously and want a guarantee from Liverpool there will be no repeat of the scenes of 18 months ago.

The post in question, headlined Liverpool vs Emirates Marketing Project, asks supporters to “bring your pyro[technics], pints, flags and banners” and “line the streets all the way up Anfield Road and to the ground”.
 
I don't know why but I think I'll take 5/2 on Emirates Marketing Project winning again, I can't put my finger on it but I can see the scouse bottling this again.
 
Another Official acquitted of the deaths of the liverpool fans

When will the Liverpool fans who caused the crush in the first place be blamed ??

Have to agree with this. How can you pin a culmination of mass circumstance on one person? No one denies it's a tragedy. But the hundreds(?) of fans who stormed the ground without tickets must take their share of the blame, surely?
 
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho will be out until next year with the ankle injury he suffered against Napoli.

The Brazilian went off after 19 minutes of Wednesday's Champions League group game, which the Reds drew 1-1, after he fell awkwardly making a challenge.

Liverpool said the 26-year-old had "suffered ankle ligament damage" and will be out "until the New Year".


"Losing a player of the quality of Fabinho is big. Really bad," said Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.

"It is bad news. Timeframe - we are not sure 100% but looks pretty sure he will not be involved in Christmas fixtures.

"We have to replace him and we can replace him. Now it's important that he does the right things and is back as soon as possible.

"Until then, we have to find solutions. We are not the only team with injured players and that's what we have to deal with, and we will."

The Reds have 11 games over the next 34 days in the Premier League, Champions League, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup.

Fabinho has started 12 out 13 league games this season and all five European fixtures.

The people without tickets got in because the police opened an exit door to let people in, because very few turnstiles were opened. Then they should have been led to the pens either side of the stand, not into the already full central pens. The entrance to the central pens was through a tunnel. When you had entered that, there was no way to turn back without being trampled. So, the disaster was a result of a poorly constructed stadium, which was not fit for purpose, combined with very poor decisions made by the police.

David Duckenfield, who was on trial, even admitted to this being his fault in the previous hearing. But since every trial starts from scratch, that information was not made available to this court for some reason.

If someone is interested in learning something instead of abusing Liverpudlians in general, listen to this: https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2019/dec/02/hillsborough-the-30-year-fight-for-justice

Why were they there in the first place?
 
Because some of the victims had worked out, if we all run at the turnstiles at once they can't cope and most of us will get in for nothing.
Surely they would learn their lesson after all those deaths and not repeat such an action though, right? Especially not in a CL final, for example.

Obviously if they did there would still be someone else to blame, I'm sure.
