@PaulMercer @Johnp0012 The club aren’t exactly gonna stick in the email “by the way this was a GA ticket that we sold as hospitality” 😂😂

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@PaulMercer @Johnp0012 How do you think the people that aren’t paying that much for tickets are gonna have proof 😂 have you proof that the club aren’t doing it other than just taking their word for it too?

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@JohnDou08088469 @JoeMawdsley @Johnp0012 @LFCHelp It’s implied with the £500 price tag seeing as though they all start at £500. You’d know if you ever went to a game

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@PaulMercer @Johnp0012 Plenty of people that are in the stands every week saying it, and I’d be taking their word over the word of the club

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@JohnDou08088469 @JoeMawdsley @Johnp0012 @LFCHelp That’s what the original tweet you’re replying to is saying. Comprehension isn’t your strong point clearly

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@JohnDou08088469 @JoeMawdsley @Johnp0012 @LFCHelp He’s returning his GA ticket to the club & the club are reselling them as hospitality tickets. You also said no game goes for over £500, which is just a false statement

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@PaulMercer @Johnp0012 The club resell them as hospitality tickets, so they can say they’re selling them for ‘face value’ but that face value is £500

@JohnDou08088469 @JoeMawdsley @Johnp0012 @LFCHelp Takes 30 seconds to do a bit of research

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

“Embolo creates the contact but there is contact”

So it’s not a foul by Paredes then since he doesn’t even tackle embolo and it’s just a blatant dive

From the panel to the commentators it’s the worst coverage I’ve ever seen of any tournament ever

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

RTE commentator on the Argentina match has just said “paredes makes the tackle and gets the yellow so I don’t know where the mistaken identity is, Paredes doesn’t even tackle embolo just dangles his leg out”

So does he tackle or not?

It gets worse and worse the longer it goes

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@daniellang7 “Of course they’d miss him in the team but he’s not that influential anymore”

A completely contradictory statement about a player that has 8 goals and 1 assist at 39 years of age in a World Cup

How he’s employed is beyond me

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@ReanimatedF It’s Kenny Cunningham, I’d highly doubt he’s done any sort of research

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

Kenny Cunningham has just said in the span of 30 seconds that this World Cup has basically exposed Messi and he’s not able for it anymore and then said he wasn’t watched a single Argentina match so far this tournament

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

Now he’s trying to describe how messi has played this tournament right after saying he hasn’t watched Argentina play. You honestly couldn’t write it

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@Jwiesel13 The phenom guy? The LeBron James of soccer?

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

RTE panel saying Australia were the much better team and looked more threatening, then 30 seconds saying the free kick was the only real chance they had 🤦🏻‍♂️

You really couldn’t write it. Top level punditry

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@RTEsport Why does Maloney just shout Bellingham for absolutely no reason?

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@stoolpresidente Wouldn’t score a goal in Sunday league

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@jjrodriguez333 @RTEsport The match was interrupting their chat

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

Great analysis from Kenny Cunningham there about shakira’s opening ceremony. Really insightful and relevant as to what’s going on on the pitch.

@RTEsport can we get a few commentators/ pundits that actually talk about what’s happening in the match rather than just having a chat

[Stephen O’Brien @stephenwithaph_]

@jdpm65 @vaillancourt_dr And that’s being generous
