And the Millwall fans were chanting ‘let him die’

 

About as stereotypical Millwall as you can get.

 

This is hard for anybody to take.
Every incident of concern i have ever seen either live or on TV the crowd have been silent until the medics get the patient (striken player) onto a stretcher and start carrying them off at which point the usual/normal reaction is to clap and hope the player is going to be ok.
Piss poor reaction from subnormal human beings in this case unfortunately.

 

Their boss also dismissed it as merely mistimed.

It's fairly clear what instruction was given to his players pregame

 

To be honest I found it weird that the BBC commentator mentioned that chant. It's sung up and down the country by loads of different fans, hardly unusual.

 

When? I’ve attended plenty of football / rugby matches over the last 45+ years and I cannot remember anyone when a player is seriously injured chanting ‘let him die’

 

I've probably heard it from about 8 different clubs this season alone.

Not condoning it btw, just saying it's not unusual. Agree that it's particularly grim given the nature of yesterday's injury.

 

Bit weird that you're the only one that's heard them; do you start them?

 

I'm almost certainly not and nah I find it pretty distasteful tbh.

Anyone thinking it's not a regular chant at football grounds when a player is down injured is clueless though. Palace fans also sang it yesterday.

 

Liverpool have published their account for 2023/2024 recording a loss of £57m can we afford to buy in the summer. No moaning we must strengthen.

 

3-game-ban for Gordon?

 

yes unless they win an appeal

 

Seems so but I'm sure some spurious appeal will be granted.

 

I saw tjr incident smd replays and felt Oliver was so.intent on where the ball went he forgot the foul play.

There was a shot on goal after.

Imo he had to be convinced to look at it and only relented after seeing gushes of blood.

Reality check. There are arteries in that area

He literally could have killed thr guy.

 

Bte having seen the Gordon stuff, if Newcastle appeal.the ban should be extended as it would be a nuisance appeal.

 

It's hard for me to be rational about Oliver as I've despised him since the Pickford/Virgil kung fu attack, not because he patently ballsed-up, but because he got away with a weasel interview to the S*n (the PGMOL's paper of choice) three months later saying that he 'forgot' the rules of Serious Foul Play, and with that, the media still referred to him as 'our best referee' and put any blame on Coote on VAR.

There have been many, many, incidents since with him affecting all clubs, and also on international duty too; but still he has this Emporer's New Clothes nonsense of being called 'our best referee'. He's ****ing untouchable. Even Deeney was calling him 'our best referee' yesterday, as if it's a title bestowed on him for life like a peerage or a doctorate. Truth is that I remember him nearly a decade ago overruling his lino at Anfield and giving a pen to West Brom that was 2 yards outside the box, as shown by MoTD that night (it was before VAR). The point was it was the beginning of his inherent arrogance, and it's still the case now that -until yesterday when it was too obvious to ignore - that VAR rarely asks him to go to the monitor or challenges his decisions. He's a pompous little ****ehawk elevated to saint-like status by the PGMOL

 

Just laughing at Rooney on Motd, fa cup preview.

All his pubic hair plus on the top if his head are still brown and the rest is all grey.

So patently obvious.

 

The only problem is the **** is only 40 so there's literally years of him left.
