Players being given a watch had no impact on the game. if you believe differently I don't know what to say.

I dont think it would have helped with their mentality going in to the game at all.

I cannot believe any professional athlete would in any be influenced by a poorly thought out trinket.

So you think because you're a professional athlete you are mentally strong?

Ben Simmons says hi.

Mental health doesnt care if you're an athlete or not and getting a gift like that would impact the mental state of the group going into that game. Of that I have no doubt.

 

[Planet14]

Well lucky for you then. Sounds like Spurs would have won the Champs League if not for the watches.

You never know. Doubtful, but you never know.

You're a strange unit. Claim a PL regulation is against clubs owned from a certain region in a discussion.

Another poster responds. When it is pointed out to you that claim was dismissed in the court case you have a meltdown.

LOL. **** me you're boring.

That's the best jibe you can muster?

How utterly boring.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Zidane98 can you not turn every ****ing thread into annoying shit about Man City? Your obsession is mind boggling. The case is underway, it will be decided, that's it.

It'd be nice, wouldn't it.

Honestly might have been better if it said winner. Gives them a morale boost, like **** yeah, we're gonna win this damn thing.

CL Finalist is just like...

Culture eats strategy for breakfast. One thing has no impact many little things do.

So many ACLs lately, very weird.

I agree.

As an aside along a similar vain I do laugh on this site when fans (of all clubs) get bitchy their players after a loss are smiling or worse... laughing with the opposition after the game.

Apparently a sign they don't care enough or take it seriously. It is all nonsense of course.

I never knew there could be a weirder saga than biscuit-gate (Brendan Bolton is one odd unit) but watch-gate is reaching the same heights.

 

[RPCB]

You’d hope that manager would have gotten the sack on the same day.

 

[moomba]

 

[Bradesmaen]

Promote that man to head of referees.

 

[RPCB]

That’s what happens when someone tries to fit in. It’s not macho or cool, it’s just lame.

 

[Sozabarus]

I can see why it’s a big deal and he’ll probably get sacked but honestly, when I first heard of it I expected it to be much worse. Basically all he says is Liverpool played shit and Klopp is a campaigner. Silly thing to do but am finding it hard to be outraged like a lot of people.

The worst bit is the “we hate scousers” at the end, but Coote wasn’t the one saying it so not sure that can be held against him.
