@evdokios Trying to win a pen not the same thing as feigning Injury on a throw in 😂

@JAMES77458423 @michael_reid11 How often does a draw feel like a defeat in a title race nowadays, its a catastrophe, just wasn't the case back then.

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@JAMES77458423 @michael_reid11 I'm simply making the point that in the 60s and 70s a draw in most cases was a good result, whilst modern day for a top team it is more often than not a bad result. Lose percentage is more telling.

Slot 25%
Shankly 23%
Paisley 18%

Shanks of course also took over a worse team

@lambert_1922 @RobGutmann Any examples not from the 1980s?

@THEZONEEEEEE @fongoat Unbeaten season when you aren't the favourite going into the season is nothing to be sniffed at. Only non Celtic winning season across 14 seasons, and first Rangers win since they were liquidated.

@wiley_jones @BeyondTheMemes One of my favourites!

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@_DockEllis @BeyondTheMemes Fair point 😂

@_DockEllis @BeyondTheMemes Nothing stopping you playing out this hypothesis. Let's see it!

@niggacuntfuck @BeyondTheMemes Yeah I just overtook him in age myself and I haven't quite processed it either.

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@TheWildSto @WarrenDuff7 @BeyondTheMemes He looks younger here but certainly not 23.

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@evildouche @BeyondTheMemes Why?

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@Fred_Blurst @BeyondTheMemes I believe that was a legal mandate in the 1970s.

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@WarrenDuff7 @BeyondTheMemes He would still have the haunted eyes of an older man but yes I agree it would help.

[Billy Thompson @BILLYTLFC]

@AnfieldEdition @WeAreTheOverlap This narrative always discounts what he did pre Liverpool, a world record defender fee because he was average? He was already world class

Realistically he's been world class for 10+ years and his down years are only relative to his sky high standards, a victim of his own success
