Did anyone else get accosted by an Everton fan outside the away end asking to hand out his contact details to get a ticket for the last game at Goodison?

£150 he was offering, I reckon someone would have offered for free tbh.

Got to admire/laugh at the wit and imagination of these loveable rogue scallies haven’t you?

Was he in a shell suit and curly perm as well by any chance ?

Reading the last couple of pages of this thread, smallbone this, sugawara that. 
nobody seems to mention that Tyler Dibling is an absolute passenger. 
it’s no wonder we get overrun in the middle of the park. 
can’t tackle, can’t run,  can’t hold the ball up, can’t track back. 
any team on top of their game couldn’t carry him, let alone us.

Thought it should of been a red card - just for the absolute cynicism and disrespect Nunes showed to KWP.

It's not a out justice and fairness though is it. It's about what shirt your wearing. We all know that had that been a Saints player on Salah they'd have been walking. I would also hazard a guess that if the first penalty incident had been Van Dijk taking Smallbone it wouldn't have been given.

Unfortunately too often this season TD has flattered to deceive. Yes he’s a top talent but without the right attitude he won’t fulfill his true potential. I feel sorry for him in that in his full debut season he’s had to play in this side, however that said I sometimes wonder if his application has really been what it should have been. I hope he goes onto great things, clearly it won’t be with us, but please Tyler apply yourself in everything you do otherwise you may wonder one day what might have been.

Where was Downes? Did he have a cold?

I've heard of other fans being approached on social media and I've been asked through a work colleague if I can help at all, I get there is huge demand from their fanbase but it's a bit ridiculous going this far. 

Because of this I actually think we should just take smaller 1800 allocation in lower tier and try to ensure tickets sell out to season ticket holders with multiple away purchases , limit the numbers of them getting into our end as there's bound to be a few happy to cash in

He seemed to travel with the squad but I don’t know why he wasn’t selected. On Sky at half time it showed him walking on to congratulate Smallbone for his goal.

Flynn Downes is such an odd one, maybe had a tummy ache again

I don’t think Calpol or Olbas Oil can help with the symptoms of being a stroppy tart.

What happened to the 1970's sponge and cold water from a bucket? That seemed to be the answer for everything (sprains, twists, broken legs ... )

Alternatively get him in the treatment room half an hour before kick off for a 'fitness test', spray some ralgex on his bollocks that would get him up and running around. 

Of course if the silly sod is still living on a diet of raw chicken there's not a lot we can do.

In recent weeks he has been rushed back from injury, over used and totally mismanaged, in my opinion. Given the above and also being part of a shell shocked team of whipping boys who largely have one foot out of the door, (mentally at least),  isn’t doing him any good either.

Glad someone is saying it - I know he's just a kid, but the praise he gets from pundits and commentators just stinks of these people not having any real world evidence of how good and or consistent Tyler really is. It's just soundbites. 

But hey, if it drives his price up in the summer who are we to complain.

There's something very iffy with the way the PL is officiated, but maybe Liverpool benefit from the same bias that persists in the media - even when they were bang average they got far more airtime and praise than they deserved.

It’s vomit-inducing. I can’t watch it any more.
