@howzatcp @TheSundayGame Is that just because the Dubs are shite now? Football has been significantly more entertaining the last 2 years since the new rules came in.

There has been some mitigation for Liverpool's poor performances this season, including injuries, the Premier League's set-piece focus, signings settling in etc. But how many of those were relevant to this European tie against Turkish opposition in March? youtube.com/watch?v=rbcNTp…

@donegalGAAres Not even a debate. If Ballybofey is ready it's Ballybofey.

Right what is the general thought out there.
Donegal are due to play Down in the ulster championship as it stands the game has been fixed for letterkenny in O'Donnell park but the other week the suggestion was Ballybofey could be ready and the game switched to that venue which…

For god's sake. I will do people the courtesy of assuming they genuinely have misinterpreted this as an attack on Ms Hand (about whom I have always written sympathetically) rather than what it is: An exclaimation over the significance of a finding that affidavits on behalf of Mr. McGregor were "concocted".

@TyBracey You've all lost your minds on this. This is Villas mess to resolve not Liverpool. Villa reneged on the contract. If they want to play him compensate Liverpool for changing the terms. Liverpool will still have a sellable assist in the summer either way.
English
Unai doesn’t want to sign him permanently but we’re happy to play him through the season.
Remove the clause or he doesn’t play more than 9 games. £35M isn’t a lot to you, but it’s a lot to us in terms of FFP.
Remove the clause and both parties win.
Simple as that really.

Unai Emery saying Villa will only play Harvey Elliott if Liverpool remove the clauses that would trigger a £35m obligation just makes the whole situation look even worse. You’re basically telling a player: we want you, we rate you and you’ll play… but only if it doesn’t cost us what we already agreed to pay. That’s not being “fair”, that’s trying to have it both ways. If the deal says he plays 10 games and you buy him, then that’s the deal, you can’t dangle minutes in front of him while hoping someone else changes the paperwork. From the outside it just looks messy and a bit embarrassing. Either back the football decision and accept the business side, or don’t agree to the terms in the first place. Right now it sounds like Villa want the player, the performances and the upside, just without footing the bill at the end.

@mikepitt84 @Frank9478968518 @GavinHarri89625 @donhutch4 @PFA Why is @mikepitt84 the only one getting it here!? The onus is on Villa to resolve this. They reneged on the contract. If they want to play him then they need to compensate Liverpool to change terms. He will still have loads of value for Liverpool to sell in the summer.

@hughespaul09 @mikepitt84 @donhutch4 @PFA Why should Liverpool change the terms to 20-30 games? They would have budgeted for the permanent transfer in this season and next seasons books and Villa have reneged. Why should Liverpool help out Villa? This is Villas mess to fix not Liverpools.
English
@mikepitt84 @donhutch4 @PFA He’s Liverpool’s player in the summer. They won’t get £35m in the summer if he’s played 200mins in a season. They just don’t want Villa to benefit from him given the ‘battle’ for top 5. Why would it be so hard for Liverpool to change terms to 20-30 games, or option?
English
@PaulTomlinsonn @donhutch4 @PFA Respectfully that is utter bollox. Liverpool would have budgeted for the transfer fee in this year and next years books. Now Villa don't want to pay so Liverpool should just say "that's fine no problem keep him and play him the rest of the season for free"?? Villas mess to fix.
English
@donhutch4 @PFA He's a Liverpool player. Ultimately he's their responsibility. Lift the 10 game limit and let him play. You'll never walk alone? You will if you're Harvey Elliott.

Liverpool set piece coach Aaron Briggs is to leave the club. Responsibility for set pieces will fall across the remaining coaching staff. Liverpool have a set piece differential of -9 this season, having conceded 12 goals from set-pieces. More @TimesSport

@seidodge @sean_tougher You can't just pull teams out of your arse Sean and assume they are ready to go. You put clubs in that aren't ready and it falls apart straight away. Up to clubs from other areas to get their infrastructure in place first. Fair play to the teams that met the criteria.
English
@sean_tougher Just think you’re expecting too much from a national amateur league. It’s its own thing. Having those teams in it won’t affect anything negatively at all.
English
As expected, they’ve made a balls of it. 3 donegal teams, 2 unneeded Galway sides, 3 Dublin teams from already LOI heavy areas (not including lucan as they might get celbridge etc support) and another cork team that isn’t needed. Opportunity missed

Introducing the 15 founding clubs that will form the new FAI National League, set to kick off in autumn 2026 🤩 This historic new third tier of Irish football will be the top tier of grassroots football and create a direct pathway between the grassroots game and the League of Ireland for the first time. An exciting new era for Irish Football 🇮🇪⚽️
English
@sean_tougher Your point is ridiculous. You can't just magic up clubs in suitable areas equal distance from others. The clubs have to able to meet criteria, have the infrastructure and finance in place to support their inclusion. It falls apart immediately otherwise.

@__Rodge__ @SiClancy @StephenWarnock3 Exactly. This is a load of bollox from Warnock. Players regularly come back mid season after a 3/4/5 month injury in sharper shape than Isak is in now. And he's had no injury lay off at all. I'd cut him some slack for the first month or two but he should be well up to speed now.
English
@SiClancy @StephenWarnock3 So how do you get fit after say a 3 month injury?
English
I thought @StephenWarnock3 absolutely nailed why Alexander Isak is struggling so much. This is post game last night on 5 live talking about WHY missing the preseason is such a big deal. And something I’d not considered.

@TheAnfieldWrap He got himself tongue tied a few times because I think he was feeling the pressure himself and that the football world was waiting for his reaction. But what he said was spot on. Nearly all of it.
