🇪🇸 When Torres Left, I Learned To Love The Shirt, Not the Name On The Back
There was a time I’d lose sleep over players leaving. Fernando Torres changed that. He wasn’t just brilliant, he was ours. The armband, the song, the gallop through defences with a glint in his eye, he gave Liverpool fans a hero who felt like one of us.
When he left for Chelsea, it felt like betrayal. Not just the badge-swapping, but the symbolism. Swapping values for vanity, swapping belonging for Russian roubles. But time has a way of offering clarity.
Torres didn’t find himself in blue. He looked stiff, subdued, like he’d left a part of his game behind in the corridors of Melwood. And we, bruised and bitter, picked ourselves up with Luis Suárez; a force of chaos and genius who made it hard to pine for anyone else. Liverpool always find a way. The names change, the heartbeat doesn’t.
Torres was never the same after he left. Not because Chelsea broke him, but because, whilst we didn't know it at the time, Liverpool had already squeezed every last drop of brilliance out of him. His body was battered, his mind burdened, and whatever magic he had at Anfield couldn’t be transplanted to Stamford Bridge.
Now, when a player leaves, I don’t mourn the Liverbird falling off their chest. I remember Torres and how that move taught me a cold, useful truth. These lads don’t love the club like we do. They can’t. And that’s fine.
Trent, Kelleher and Quansah are gone; Robertson, Nunez, Diaz, Chiesa and even Konate may follow them out this summer. What matters most is the team, not the name on the back of the shirt. Footballers pass through. #LFC outlasts them all.
What Rory did on 15, 16 and 17 in the final round is BONKERS. 1 in 28,700 chance.
🤯🤯🤯
#15▶️207 yards to 6 feet
#16▶️170 yards to 9 feet
#17▶️196 yards to 2 feet
The chances a tour pro hits each of those shots as close as he did:
#15▶️1.99%
#16▶️7.91%
#17▶️0.37%
The chances a tour pro hits approach shots that good on three consecutive holes?
▶️About 1 in 28,700
If you let the typical tour pro play those three holes 28,700 times, they will only accomplish what Rory did one single time.
Rory did it with the tournament (and the career grand slam) hanging in the balance.
Absolutely incredible.
It’s the anniversary of one of the smuttiest first touches in the history of association football.
Robbie Fowler vs Brann Bergen, 1997.
Hang your head in shame, son.
Parents should be allowed to take their children out of school for a very limited number of days per year, over reasons they choose.
Let's show a bit of common sense here. The prices are so wildly different out of term time, it is often the difference between a family being able to afford a decent holiday abroad, or not go at all.
Will a child missing a week of school a year damage their education? Perhaps, a little. Will that quality time spent with their family more than compensate? Yes, yes it will.
And that is a decision for the parents to take, not the state.
I have pushed the Department on this, with zero progress. They just don't want to know.
Let's remember - MPs have very generous time off from Westminster, timed to coincide with the school holidays.
Others do not have that same luxury, particularly in areas that are reliant on tourism - like my constituency
All of this from the same people who shut schools for months when the virus posed almost zero risk to children, and were desperate to do it for longer. Forcing boys and girls to learn from a kitchen table, and many had no access to proper outdoor space.
THAT did far more damage to children's education than a few days away in the sun with their family.
PLEASE. Let's just show a modicum of common sense, FOR ONCE.
If parents want to take their child out of school for a limited period of time, very occasionally, as they believe that experience will benefit their son or daughter?
I say that's their choice.
