What a 🤡 this guy is
It's rightfully a familiar statement from clock we have had 14 12:30 a.m. kickoff games after international break compared to the second with six if you tell me that that's fair then you've lost your mind
🤡 alert
Early kickoff for policing reasons? What nonsense is that?
Its for tv reasons.
Tbf when they've had 14 and the 2nd biggest is 6, its a bit suss
You can speculate all you want as to why Liverpool have played at noon twice as often as the next team, but a statement needs to be made by the FA or some authority. As long as no reason is given, it's not going to go over well with anyone.
This fella's a dickhead. 'Clearly it's a hostile fixture whenever it's hosted'. I'm not havin' that. Any derby has the potential to be hostile. To my understanding it's the tv company that picks the fixture and LFC are a big draw so the ratings will be good. However there has to be an intervention from the PL when a team is given a timeslot too much. It could be considered an advantage or a disadvantage to have a disproportionate kick off time to the rest of the league. It's a fact the big teams get the lunchtime and evening on a sat and the early afternoon on sun. Just mix it up, the ratings will be the same throughout the season and there'll be no controversy. Putting one team in any given timeslot is biased. Whoever the team whatever the time.
That guy is an insult to his profession, just write off the obvious bias
So does Liverpool have the most 12:30 kick off throughout this period or is it only after international breaks. If it is only after international breaks then something is clearly up because there is a massive disadvantage after international breaks.
Kostas has played in much larger matches than this lol. Talk about a slow news cycle today huh lads?
"Klopp getting his excuses in early"?
C'mon man. Atleast do your homework. Liverpool will have 14 games scheduled at 12 30 PM by the time we play City later this season.
Tottenham are in second with 6 such scheduled games.
Where is the fairness?
🤔 Klopp getting his excuses in early 🤔🤔🤔 what a nonsense …. There was No Anfield crowd when Everton won…not listening to anymore. Are there any Everton player’s away on international duties 🤔 so not many tired leg’s there then!!!!!!!
hahahaha
😂😂😂😂 policing, really?
So, all the other games we played at 12:30 were derbies 🤔.
It's unfair and it's very clear.
It's pronounced tsi-MEE-kas, stress the second syllable.
