Sitting at the kitchen table and “watching” the Liverpool game on the laptop. With Liverpool TV, you can’t see certain matches, but you can listen to the commentary or watch the video commentary. The video commentary is funny, because they can’t show the game. So you are watching a shot like the photo above. They show the crowd.
So naturally, my 4 year old son is asking me “what are you watching?”. So you find yourself describing what you see. And he thinks it’s the greatest thing in the world. Pretty soon you are describing The Kop; it’s one level all the way up. The Annie Road end? 2 decks and you’ll see sun on top of it because the sun sets over The Kop.
Now we have the globe out and I’m trying to explain sunsets. You have to start somewhere. Then we’re drawing pictures and diagrams on paper so he understands why he can’t see the Centenary Stand (because THAT’S where the camera is!).
Next, we flipping coins to demonstrate how they choose sides and I’m explaining that when Liverpool wins the toss, they like to defend the Kop in the first half so that they are attacking the Kop end in the 2nd half. Also, at a 3pm kick off, the sun in the eyes of the keeper at the Annnie Road end is a factor. Other teams like to deny Liverpool this. Does he understand any of this? Not sure.
Looks like another draw. Aren’t Downing, Henderson and Adam great? And Carroll doesn’t start at 35 million. C’mon Kenny! This is getting old. Your new signings can’t play that one incisive ball in to the striker in a dangerous spot. Also, it sounded like the ref waved off about 3 legit chances for Liverpool penalties. The anti-Liverpool, anti-Suarez campaign is in full swing. Great. Let’s just cancel the league and give the title to Man U in perpetuity! That’s how it’s set up, isn’t it?
Go Tebow! Shock the Pats! Annoy the anti-Christian Liberals everywhere (and mostly in the media)! Woo Hoo!
