🚨🎙️Southgate on Liverpool last minute penalty vs Newcastle:
🗣️“I’m sorry, but Newcastle were robbed tonight. That is not a penalty I would expect to decide a Premier League match in the 99th minute.
Liverpool were hanging on. Newcastle had done enough to win the game, and then one soft decision completely changed everything.
If that’s the standard now, Liverpool will be getting penalties every time they’re desperate for a goal.
Let’s be honest Liverpool got away with one tonight. Newcastle deserved all three points.”
Surely any forward thinking of going to Liverpool, will be having second thoughts now having to play second fiddle to the brilliant Ekitike all season? 😳🤪
The last few months for Irish football:
- Sacked Stephen Kenny last November
- FAI takes 7 months to find replacement
- 4 friendlies in that time for John O’Shea to audition for the job
- End up hiring their “first-choice” manager who happens to be a dentist
- Heimir decides he doesn’t know enough about the players so doesn’t pick squad/team or do all the press conferences
- 0 goals in 180 minutes
- 4 goals conceded
- No clear structure on pitch
- Facing Nations League relegation
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles
Meanwhile, the League of Ireland champions get just over €100k for winning it. They also rely on European revenue where games don’t even get shown on Irish TV. Only country in Europe that happens in.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the FAI have well and truly failed Irish football.
What a mess.

And while Max is every bit a deserving two time champion he showed today he has much to learn about what it is to be a team leader. For everything Checo has done to help his cause, today’s result means nothing to Max in the wider view. Disrespected his teammate and his team.
