The White Nets Saga

[6TimesaRed]

I notice a few people moaning about why are the goal nets white this year and not red.

The nets were red during the team’s first training session at the new-look Anfield on Thursday night.

Apparently Klopp asked to change the nets at Anfield from red to white in order to make them more visible in the players’ peripheral vision.

With the majority of fans behind both goals wearing red, it was felt that red netting wasn’t as striking to the eye as white.

It's not a "saga." The nets were red, now they are white. End of story.

Well that was productive..


Is their really any validity in the argument.. Didn't stop us scoring for fun in 2013/14 Season....

 

[JurgenKlopp]

White is better than red, I said so 😉

Wasn't everyone sucking Rodgers Jeb for bringing back a "club tradition" a few years back?

We would have won the league if it wasn't for those red nets.

Fuck you Rodgers!

Yeah, I think so. I couldn't care less, really, although I think the white nets are better from a purely visual/ practical POV.

Anyone who thinks the colour of the nets makes any difference should be sacked immediately.

Red and White Kop fellows did this.😀

 

[Hansern]

They changed it after they trained at Anfield on Thursday.
Roy Evans felt the same and changed them '95 appaz.

Anyone who thinks the colour of the nets makes any difference should by sacked immediately.

And anyone who criticises the fans for singing their support needs to take his head out of his own fucking arse.

Unless it's funny

Unless it's funny

Well, yes.

What with the goal bars being white, I would argue that it's better for the periphral vision for the nets to be red and blend in with the crowd and for only the bars to stick out, than having the bars and the net blend in white.

 

[leftpeg]

I think we're overthinking this.

Fuck you Rodgers!

Rodgers out!

 

[Markeh]

Maybe they should be yellow in the winter months and orange when it snows

What the fuck are those stupid posts there for in the first place. In King Kennys last season we hit them again and again and again. Should be removed.

 

[reuque]

If it helps our team see the goal better, won't it also help our opponents see the goal better too? Halftime goal net switches are the way to go. #smh

This presumably includes the manager then.

 

[gkmacca]

This explains why our recent games at White Hart Lane have been such low-scoring affairs, what with all that white behind those white nets.

'Just make the goals bigger', says one comment.

I figure we've got plenty of taunting coming our way from opposition fans. .

Yes.

Woland does not make exceptions. Only rules.
