Gone straight to wearing shorts too. Got to respect that.

Are you saying Demba's giddy bouncing up and down? Or are YOU giddy about the Dembas?

It's backwards logic too. If anything awarding a pen is harsh enough and would make you more reluctant of adding a booking on top of it. I guess they see it as an important decision (which it is) and therefore needs to be highlighted. See a lot of it in the Spanish and French leagues and Euro competitions.

Read all of it too and it doesn't say what they did nor what that tournament even is. Also, any act of so called "sportsmanship" that benefits Liverpool FC loses all its meaning.

Taking the captaincy off him now is probably perfect timing to then give it back to him again just before the tournament.

Good for him and that his love affair with the region continues. What's his English like, though? Every time I've seen an interview of him he talks in Spanish. Edit:

Was either some Gallagher bloke or MG Pedersen. They both scored winners in 1-0 home defeats few years ago now.

The list of annoying 1-0 home defeats to Blackburn is seemingly endless

He's had 90minutes x3 in a month where he knew he was going to be the main man up front. Just a tragic man. No other club would have kept such a mediocre to shit player on their books for half as long as we have. Embarrassing.

Also started the first bit... Should have pooled our efforts and done a bit each, really Can't resist sticklering... Tioté is leaving his house two hours before the game. Not at 2AM.

People are pleased that he did something well is all. Would be hypocritical to say otherwise and slate him just for the sake of it, really.

Nowt like having confidence in new players Well if Cissé is the captain then Best and Shola are the manager and lifetime honorary president. So it's a complement, I guess.

Mental, that is.

Fantastic win and absolutely delighted, but worrying stuff, tbh. Yaoface for now.

On a side note, it's annoying how so many refs seem to think that just because a challenge results in a penalty it is necessarily also worthy of a yellow.

The fact Brighton and their player actually voiced their support probably gave our appeal the credit it needed to not seem frivolous in the FA's opinion.

It's the deadline day drama effect. You get the impression some fans would be happier with signing one decent player on the 31st every six months rather than sign 5 decent to great ones throughout the Summer.

With Cabaye banned, Benny on the bench and Shola up top again our creativity may suffer somewhat

Was going to mention goalkeepers. Very often the double whammy of pen + keeper sent off just because they're obviously in a 'last defender' sort of position is much too harsh. The intent on fouling and likelihood of getting the ball should definitely be taken into account.

Not really. Shola might know our system and the personality of his team mates but never seems to be bothered actually using that information.

Come on FA, consistency! Consistency!!!

Streamlining it with the BBC News site. Certainly needed a face lift. Bit of a shock though, everything is a bit big.

Good job we're done with them for this season.

That's what Everton fans have been saying and hoping on for years. It's a shame because I like Saha, but it just isn't a reality.

Yeah, that sentence was all over the place and it was the wrong date
