Apparently there’s a lively secondary market using burner phones to validate the season ticket when it gets passed around. I'm sure people do find ways around it but they are making it difficult for season ticket holders to sell on their tickets, presumably to try and discourage people selling them for above face value. My boss has got a season ticket, which I could have had for a few games this season, but you have to have pre registered before the season on the season ticket holder's friends and family list for them to transfer the ticket to you. I probably should have gotten organised to sort it out in time since it's turned out to be Klopp's last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Well, they do what they did for a good part of the season, hope for some Sane brilliancy and that he can create some tap ins for Kane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or whichever club is nearest to the leafy Surrey village of your childhood. What makes it worse is he says in the video he didn't go as a kid because his family couldn't afford it, until he was a barrister working in London. That is literally what he said. As I said, he is full of shit. It was pence to get into Highbury in the 80s. Pence. I know because I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should have gotten organised to sort it out in time since it's turned out to be Klopp's last season. That’s what they’re using the burner phones for, apparently. Ticket holders register the ticket on a dedicated smart phone; not their own personal phone with all of their data and personal use. Then they just give the phone to whoever buys the ticket and get it back afterward. This limits the reselling to a casual network so that a stranger doesn’t just disappear with the phone, but it allows people to create a black market well above face value. Hospitality tickets are available from the club at a large premium, which puts an effective ceiling on the black market prices for regular tickets.

polishgenius Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Saka had a great game overall but Arsenal really need to bring back Welbeck to teach him how to dive because that was a fucking shambles. Spockydog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Hard to say. The stream I was watching only showed one quick replay and then moved on. That usually means the ref got it wrong and they're trying to cover it up. The ref did allow a lot of rough contact in the game which resulted in Kane nearly giving Gabriel a concussion and Saka being fouled multiple times. Havertz's diving attempt OTOH deserved a yellow.

Mexal Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I wish Saka just shot it and none of this would matter. I’ve seen Kane get that penalty 20 times but never seen Saka. So just shoot it instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Saka sought it but he also had plenty of momentum to justify clattering into Neuer. 2 minutes ago, Mexal said: I wish Saka just shot it and none of this would matter.

Not the best decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I've watched that penalty call 100x now and it's a clear 50/50. Whatever it was called on the field is the way it would go. Saka throws his leg yes, but Neuer steps and extends his leg into Saka's path. I still firmly believe that if that was Bruno, Kane or any other generic white guy, he'd get the call. As for the penalty shout against Arsenal, this is the one time when a ref used some common sense. They clearly weren't doing anything for advantage, no clue what they heard on the field and it would have been idiotic to call something like that in a CL game when it clearly wasn't intentional in any way. The worse call was Harry Kane not getting a red for purposely looking at Gabriel before intentionally slamming his elbow into his throat.

Dunno if that interests anyone. If Arsenal can survive the stench of that huge pile of shit named Piers Morgan, they can live with the small fart that is Keir Starmer.
