Are yiz enjoying this week..?

[peterhague]

It will be good to see an almost entirely new crop of league winners. Good for recruitment too. Am I right they it’s only Salah, Virgil, Ali, Trent and Gomez getting their second league title with us?

Robertson and Elliott as well. I think Jones probably as well. Can't think of any others.

Robbo obv,
Jones correct,
Harvey no (too few appearances)
Kelleher no (no appearences in the league)

 

[SummerOnions]

...no. I'm trying anyway.

My dad said a while ago that he'd made a deal with God, and that he'd be alive the next time Liverpool won the league.

He will be.

He's not making the next time though, even in a best case scenario on all fronts.

I was going to come to the parade. The last one my dad and I were going to go to, I got it all booked, and we all know what happened. This time I had it arranged to go with my kid, but now I need to go earlier and be with my dad instead, help my mum out.

Hes been telling all these stories I should have asked him about years ago. I think the game that made him a red was with his uncle Huey during the war. 1944 or 45 and he was sitting on industrial latex that the war effort had stored under the stadium roof to keep dry. 5-0 win against the mighty Southport. Liddell bagged a brace, and the adulation is still there when he says that name.

Why would a god owe him a league anyway? It's pure greed. He saw what for most of my life seemed something I'd never see. A Liverpool that the footballing world was envious of. Went home and away from 2nd division right the way up to the stratosphere.

No wonder his heart is fucked. Still, uncle Huey could have been a blue, and now my dad has another title. A deal is a deal. The Lord giveth and he taketh away.

Reckon it's the same for my dad, good luck with everything

Hope your old man won't suffer, and you're writing all his stories down ...

I don't think medals are necessarily given on appearances.
The club gets forty I think and it is up to them how they distribute them though a player with five appearances is entitled to a medal according to Premier League rules.

 

[JohnnyRocket]

My old man passed away exactly a year ago. Football and Liverpool was the thing that always glued us together for decades. Its really weird knowing he never even knew Arne Slot, and its a bit empty knowing he never lived to see us clinch a title on the pitch at Anfield.

Still, this is for him I guess. In my mind.

You're somewhat right. Players who play at least 5 games automatically qualify for a medal.

"Clubs are notably given 40 medals by the competition to distribute among players, coaches and staff and can request more, but only if more than 39 players have made at least five Premier League appearances during the campaign."

I interpret that to mean that you have to play 5 games to count as a league winner.

Fuck that’s 8 then. Way more than I thought.

Fair enough though I suspect that there is plenty of players from the last title winning squad that have a league winners medal in their possession without playing five games.
I am not sure if there is an official definition of a league winner
Plus what about staff.
What is the criteria for them to be officially called league winners

 

[Hansern]

Chiesa actually need one more appearance to get to 5. Insane really. Jaros has 1 appearance.
They youngsters like Morton, Nyoni, McConnell, Nallo have been in the squad but not played a PL game.

I have no idea.

 

[Hansern]

Keeping Morton for one more season turned out to be a really bad decision. Should have sold him for 15 mill + last summer. Played in 5 games (not the league) and was injured for 14.

A discussion for another thread obvs.

I think the dedicated reserve keeper gets a medal. Jaros played a game in the league so he should get an official medal.

Will be interesting to see which players might get a run out for the rest of the season if everything goes as planned on Sunday.

Yeah, normally I'd expect the manager to rest the old guys and those who have played a lot during the season. But I doubt it.
Salah wants to increase his goal tally so he'll probably play 90 mins every game.

Also we don't want to get battered.

That would be the medals for those who made at least 5 appearances. The club can order replicas for the rest.

There isn't a stipulation that a minimum of 5 appearances are made before a player is awarded a medal.
The club gets a total of forty and if there are more that 39 players with a minimum of five appearances they can apply for more.
There may have been an appearance criteria when awarding medals in the past but it doesn't exist any more

I could be interpreting the text incorrectly:

What do you get for winning Premier League title?

With Liverpool one point away from being confirmed champions, see what clubs and players receive for finishing first in England's top flight

www.premierleague.com

As laid out by rule C.13 in the Premier League Handbook, the champions receive 40 commemorative medals “to be presented by the Club to its Manager and to such of its Players and Officials as it thinks fit provided that any Player who has entered the field of play in a minimum of five of its League Matches that Season”.

At present, 21 Liverpool players have played five or more times for the club in the Premier League.

 

[MomoWASright]

I think to be recognised in the records you have to make at least 5 appearances. That’s why Foden is the youngest premier league winner. It would’ve been The Boy but Klopp decided to put more miles in the legs of Salah, Mane and Firmino instead of giving games to Elliott.

 

[Hansern]

The champions are given 40 commemorative medals made of silver, which are 2.25in (5.7cm) in diameter.

They can be distributed to the manager, players and officials, as the club see fit, as long as every player who has made at least five Premier League appearances during the title-winning season gets one.

Sounds like that you are guaranteed a medal if you play 5 games. The rest can be distributed by the club.

To be honest I think it is me that has interpreted it wrong.
I was just going by a debate that was on the subject elsewhere and didn't fully check the information
Apologies

It seems a bit grey.
Players with at least five games must get a medal.
All the rest are at the discretion of the club

Officially being called a league medal winner if you have at least five appearances seems a bit of a blunt instrument.
Say a player has been injured for most of the season but comes back to play in the final four games scoring a match winning goal in each ensuring his side win the league by a point.
Would he be less deserving of being declared a league medal winner than a player who made five sub appearances of no more than a couple of minutes each?

 

[MomoWASright]

I’m not saying it’s less deserving. I’m trying to say that person with 4 appearances won’t be recorded as a premier league winner. Even if the club decide to give them a medal.

 

[Molbystwin]

I am loving it... being one a kid who grew up in the 70's/80's it was traditional that we won every year.... getting a trophy now does feel more... THAT all said it is fucking pissing me off that we have broken the jinx rules done a fucking mural by the looks ( did i see that in the newspaper or was `I dreaming) every single commmentator/pundit/fan etc is saying weve already won it etc... WE STILL FUCKING NEED THAT FUCKING POINT FFS.... And Spurs can fluke shit... and we have 4 pretty damn tough games remaining etc... I think we will win but... fucking murals?! Behave... you can wait a fucking few days surely...

I didn't think that you were the one making the rules.😉

 

[Molbystwin]

On the players who were here 5 years back point.... I reckon that should we get that still needed point we should invite former players who never got the parade 5 years back to get on a bus... invite Klopp as well... let's be honest Chiesa has not been a key player for us this season this entire team was Klopp's...

I'm also fucking tired of hearing that "no-one" expected us to do well this season... That's just bollox... Gary Fucking Neville can fuck right off... I fucking did!... If it wasn't for bad injuries to key players last season and Klopp's insistence on always chasing 4 trophies we'd have pushed City all the fucking way...

It's not a surprise to me we are boss.... at all...

Now, please God, we get that fucking trophy in our hands on Sunday so...
