Sad to see an old timer like Francis Lee pass away recently but it might be just in time. I clearly saw him punch the ball in the net in 1973 so there is clear grounds for the match to be replayed no?
Jurgen we are not letting you move on as we quite like the fact you are making yourself look an even bigger tithe doesn't like it now the media are turning... I say we keep this thing running. You reap what you sow!
A few Liverpool fans on RAWK decided to complain to Talksport about Simon Jordan's comment about victim culture and Liverpool. Here is Talksport's response:
"Dear Joe,
Thank you for getting in touch about comments made by Simon Jordan on Tuesday 3 October.
As you may be aware, Simon Jordan responded to the concerns raised by you and by others during yesterday morning's episode of White & Jordan. Without setting out in full everything he said, Simon made it clear that he never intended his words to relate to Hillsborough and that the interpretation which some people have given to his words could not be further from his position in relation to that tragedy. He pointed out that he has spoken out loudly against ‘tragedy chanting’, as has his co-host Jim White.
In the discussion on Wednesday morning, Simon reiterated that his words were “specifically and explicitly about VAR and the injustices that fans think are being foisted on their clubs”. He reminded listeners that “victim” is a word he has used in many instances in the context of phrases like “victim complex”, “victim culture” and “victim mentality”, not lightly but in conjunction to a whole host of clubs and individuals, including for example, Manchester City, Eddie Hearn and Conor Benn. He expressed his disappointment and regret that, on this occasion, his words had been somehow misinterpreted as relating to Hillsborough and “the tragedy that it was”.
Towards the end of this opening monologue, Simon also said that he had reflected on his use of the word “victim” and on whether what he had said would be better expressed as “conspiracy theory mentality, because the conspiracy idea that VAR and the referees are doing things to certain teams is flawed”. He concluded by saying, “It's not conspiracy, it's incompetence, it’s professional inadequacy that’s what’s going on, maybe we should look a little deeper into the issue...but the idea that in any shape or form, in any shape or form, that I was suggesting that this is relatable to Hillsborough is beyond the pale and it's an unfortunate interpretation from those who are seeking to make it".
Simon is a thoughtful presenter who brings valued expertise and insight to the TalkSPORT audience and his words yesterday morning demonstrate the seriousness with which he has taken the concerns raised.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, it is very much appreciated - good or bad.
I hope this response and Simon's on-air explanation addresses your concerns but if you would like to take the matter further you may contact our regulator, Ofcom, via their website www.ofcom.org.uk
Once again, thank you for getting in touch to share your concerns with us.
All my best,
Claire Telford
Head of Broadcast Compliance"

As in, two cunts who can't accept a legitimate result?
I'm hoping we can power through to 500 posts.
There's more chance of every single poster on here thinking I'm not a cunt, than there is of them getting a replay.
