Shortly after the Premier League and Manchester City released their statements relating to the independent commission’s findings, a video was sent to City staff aiming to reassure employees about the next steps. It showed CEO Ferran Soriano insisting that the club had given ‘irrefutable evidence’ to the commission which proved that sponsorship income was paid entirely by the sponsors. More from @SamLee

He looks brilliant but France were playing a sort of B team. Olise and Dembele were both on the bench and someone from Rennes called Lepaul starting up front.

The racist chants by Israeli fans directed at Ireland’s Adam Idah will not be investigated by UEFA because the “correct protocols were not followed”, even though Jayson Molumby heard the chants and then told the German referee and the fourth official to listen.

Do you reckon living in America you might not see some people for the c**** they are?

I find everything that Zionists do hard to believe. But here we are.

I think Pulis was an unlikely mate of Rafa.

I think he's played there very little, though.

@AbubakerAbedW It was confirmed to me this morning by a prominent football journalist informed by a former FAI board member that the UK-based player agency Unique Sports Grou) threatened the Irish players yesterday that they'd never play for US-owned UK clubs if they refused to play. That's Liverpool amongst others. Shameful.

Might be Gakpo upfront for a while. Or Koumas. I don't think that will help Wirtz. It hasn't looked like it so far but I think Isak is close to perfect for Wirtz. Gakpo wouldn't be going behind as much and he's been our best attacker on the wing. Hopefully it's not serious at all.

Liverpool FC News reposted Theo Squires @TheoTheoSquires · 3m New update on Alexander Isak from Graham Potter's pre-match press conference as the Sweden boss offered clarity on the #LFC striker's injury. Isak has withdrawn from the squad because of a thigh issue as Potter spoke out on 'frustrating' setback. Thigh issue sounds more serious.

Alexander Isak is to return from international duty due to a minor injury. The striker will not be involved in Sweden’s three remaining fixtures in the current international break and will now be assessed by club medical staff at the AXA Training Centre

It did level the playing field for the chosen rich clubs, but it also made sure the clubs who are currently rich stay the best teams forever with no relegation to let any other clubs in. Why invite City if you're so against what they done?

Having met with chief executive David Courell and then among themselves, the players sat in meetings with Hallgrímsson and staff. At 1pm, the players emerged from their conclave, barely visible to us through the narrow gaps between partitions in the window. The players spoke with their families, friends and agents seeking their counsel as to what to do. Some asked how withdrawing from the game might affect their careers at club level. One source close to an Irish player said that the situation had become so difficult that the Irish Government should step in and make the decision for the players. Some turned on Bazunu, one of whom is understood to have abused him directly to his face. https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/2026/09/26/ireland-v-israel-day-of-infamy-exposes-serious-lack-of-leadership-in-fai/

England are good at diving.

Ok

I don't agree. Liverpool were skint 15 years ago and made loads of money by being at good at football and transfers. And being lucky enough to be in the English League.

No relegation or promotion was the worst thing. Basically a load of rich clubs making sure they'll never be caught by anyone outside the league.

FSG should be pushing for City to punished as harshly as possible. But they invited City to join the Superleague so who knows how these daft rich c**** think.

Sport is just a means to enhance their reputation. They don't care about the sport. I think a lot of English club owners are similar, in that the sport is just to something to use to get what they want. But most don't blatantly cheat.

They were c**** The captain should be backing him up and persuading everyone else to as well.

Plenty of footballers know what's going on. St Pauli's ex captain has been talking about it for ages, Germany is probably even more pro Israel than UK, where most of Ireland players play. Yamal is only a kid and he's shown support.

He didn't like Klopp having power.
