Ken Bates was lolling off 'controversy' (as it was known then) before the OUTRAGE crowd were even born, so they might have met their match this time.

Burke missing a club game to play against the USA is an odd one, especially when Rovers are badly in need of wins.
lol as if Ramos might actually have knocked him senseless.
Aye.
Ghost Ramos must have done the same thing to him in the first leg against Roma when he did the same thing (re the second spaffing).
Did this collision occur before or after Karius rolled the ball out in exactly the same way (as the comedy disaster) just before Isco hit the bar?
I've not read through this thread (obvious reasons), what was the opinion on the chicken wing? The Australians were all over it but I just can't see it myself, even adjusting for how mush of a sneaky git Ramos can be.
lol at Chris Sutton telling him to pipe down and keep it to himself.

If he was concussed, it's his own fault for playing on.
Someone made a good point during the week about Salah taking some of the blame for being a complete 'me me me' twat and going off the field bawling like a child, instead of trying to rouse the rest of the team a bit. Most players are complete fucking pussies these days.
In fairness, it would for sure have been a very mild concussion. Or he should have blacked out from the initial hit. And, being in a CL final for the first time and being pumped up on adrenaline, I'm sure you tend to ignore the shoulder-angel telling you you prolly shouldn't play on, mate. Maybe he made it "worse" by playing on, mind you.
Of course it all stinks a bit of him whacking his own head into the wall when he got home and heading off to the doctor the morning after.
As for Ramos, I don't think he did any of all this "intentionally" as such, I think he's just a fucking sharp-elbowed and cynical defender who plays a bit rough. There's no way - even him - would think during the split second where him and Salah locks arms that "ah brilliant, this happens to be a perfect occasion to perform the forbidden Judo moves to dislocate shoulders!". As for the head-whacking of Karius, it was hard to see I think but it doesn't look all too intentional either, more like he's roughing about and accidentally hits Karius (who is behind him IIRC).
Yeah. I mean, I can sort of understand him of course - given Egypts, what, first ever world cup is coming up thanks more or less to him. But still, you look at that time Ronaldo got injured and came off in the Euros and just went fuck it and became a fucking spastic on the bench, spurring the team on. I think there was some footage from that tournament that came out as well where he's basically motivating the whole team and telling people in the dressing room relax you can do it etc, sort of fucking with my otherwise very set perception that he's the massivest of cunts.
Didn't Ronaldo cry when he went off?
So what you're saying is that, having sustained a shoulder injury, and fretting about his fitness for the World Cup, Salah should have been out on the touchline whirling his arms about?
And this would have stopped Karius fucking up?
Real Madrid are no France, sadly.
I'm not saying that exactly no. I'm just saying there's some merit to Giggles claim that a lot of players are pussies these days is all. And maybe he didn't need to flail his arms about, but maybe he could have shown some spirit as well, told Lallana fuck it you're up, you can do this, whatever. I just took Ronaldo as an example of a player who is also generally mopey who even him managed to show some fight in a deciding moment.
Of course, it's hard to dislike Salah for anything he does anyway, and it's easy to dislike Ramos. But the latter is a winner and a leader and the former is not, that's just how it is.
On a much more interesting subject:
The Big Nev Southall interview is great.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...rs-lgbt-issues“That was brought up by some prick,” Southall snorts. “Piers Morgan is a prick. What gives him the right to say what can be on your body? If Sterling had tattooed a massive cock on his leg I would say: ‘It reminds me of Piers Morgan.’”
I don't get why people hate Ramos (aside from priapic Liverpool fans and their conspiracy theories). He's a fucking awesome defender, scores goals, gets sent off for mashing people and has won everything. Outstanding player.
He was on about Piers Morgan.

I love the idea that it makes any difference what a player does when he goes off, it's not a fucking film script guys.

I knew cameras were bad in the 90s but...
Poor guy. Clattered so hard in the head he was pixelated for the rest of his life.
That’s a screenshot from Carmageddon innit?

The Spectrum port wasn't up to much.
They didn't understand the true dangers of concussion in those days.
Concussed so hard he turned into Minecraft. RIP with the angles
I got as far as him starting with 'Bloody Hell' and realised they're probably making the quotes up.

Bloody hell, there's no way those are real but i'm lol'ing either way.
"He could have played if he got an injection for the second half, I have done it sometimes but when Sergio Ramos does something like this, it sticks a little bit more."
Why didn't they just add "...'and Sergio Ramos thinks you're a bitch,' uttered Ramos." lmaooo
