The true story behind Liverpool fan caught 'crying' after title hurt

Tony Laird was captured by TV cameras 'crying' as Liverpool's title dream died - but all was not as it seemed

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

He was the Liverpool supporter whose tears were beamed around the world as an apparent reflection of the heartache Reds fans were feeling at missing out on the Premier League title.

The truth, though, is something far more painful than merely finishing second in the table. “I know some people won't believe it, but I'd also had a bit of eye infection and was taking eye drops for three days,” says Tony. “When you see the videos, I'm not crying. I'm rubbing my eyes".

Manchester City and PSG should be thrown out of Europe, says La Liga president

Manchester City and PSG are ‘playthings of a state’ who should be kicked out of European competition, the La Liga president has said
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

The Kopites are all over that as evidence of a groundswell of reasonable minded people who've had enough of City.

Pity the feller's a notorious loose cannon, neo-Francoist fascist sympathiser.

Ah well, Liverpool, nearly.......just like your title challenge.
 

Maybe not the right thread for this but............. When I was growing up during the war, there was no organised football, no leagues, cups etc., so me and my brother didn't really understand 'supporting a team'. Our Dad was a Liverpool supporter but with the war going on talking football wasn't a priority. We liked to play football though and played in the street with other lads. Some of the lads were several year older and had seen some pre-war Everton games, so they got us supporting Everton (what a bonus that was). Dad was in the Fire Service and we once saw him play for the Fire Service against the RAF. He was a centre-half. After the war, Dad took us to Anfield (we moaned for a week before!) to see Liverpool v Aston Villa. We were in the stand (seated - Dad must have been a bit flush at that time!). Billy LIddle (the only Liverpool player I wished played for Everton) clashed heads with a Villa player, right in front of us. Both were spark out on the pitch but carried on after treatment. Can't remember the score but Billy Liddle scored a penalty. He knew where it was going. The crowd knew where it was going. The goalie knew where it was going but it went there so hard and fast that the goalie never moved. To his credit, Dad never tried to change our support for Everton, which still goes on 75 years later. Living in the south, I don't get to any games but my brother is back in Liverpool and has been to a few games. My son and grandson (who is at Liverpool Uni) are season ticket holders at Goodison, even though they live in Nottingham. My granddad (born 1881) was an Everton supporter (don't know how Dad managed to break with tradition.) so that's nearly 140 years support for Everton. Please excuse my rambling on!

You serious.
The 2 semi finals were two of the most watched games of the season, literally couldn't predict what was going to happen.
City spurs another one, psg united another, juve coming from 2-0 down

The interest in the cl couldn't be higher, the increased prize money shows that.

Is the circus is town. Because there's a lot of clowns about.

How about own goals being -1 . Goals scored with the "weaker" foot counting as 3. A goal scored by the goalie from a clearance automatically winning the league . Even on day 1 . The list is endless.

Or the easy , sensible option . Attain more points than any other team :hayee:

Haha!

If only there was some defining table which showed which team got the most points!

Put that in any thread and I'll read it gladly. That's a foundation to build a great club on.
