Stevie G's cousin helps Liverpool to FA Youth Cup victory over Man City

Bobby Duncan struck late to level the final at 1-1 and force extra-time before the Reds won on penalties.

LIVERPOOL’S NEXT GENERATION held their nerve to secure the FA Youth Cup with a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Manchester City this evening.

As Pep Guardiola watched on, City were minutes away from collecting the title after Nabil Touaizi turned in a cross from Adrian Bernabe on the stroke of half-time.

But an 86th minute error from goalkeeper Louie Moulden brought an equaliser from Bobby Duncan, cousin of Reds legend Steven Gerrard, who was previously on the books at City.

With Ireland’s Gavin Bazunu among the substitutes for Man City, the sides cancelled one another out in extra-time and headed for penalties.

Home advantage was not enough for Manchester City to end a run of FA Youth Cup final losses before tonight’s fourth installment and substitute Cole Palmer watched in agony as his penalty hit the crossbar. Liverpool did not miss a beat in response and captain Paul Glatzel sealed a 5-3 win on penalties.

Gavan Casey and Murray Kinsella are joined by Andy Dunne to get stuck into last weekend’s Champions Cup semi-finals.:

    @Nathan Mawhinney: he was sacked for a breach of conduct but you know that already. You just like playing this up as a freedom of speech/ snow flake issue, which you know it isn’t, to get your reaction.

    He’s not been arrested. His tweet/ post are still up. His freedom to speak his mind has not been impeded.

    He’s been sacked because his comments do not reflect the views of his employers and he had specifically agreed to follow their line in order to receive a new contract.

    Then again you know all of that.

    @Nathan Mawhinney: why is religion an acceptable excuse to publicly make a negative statement about an entire group of people based on their sexual orientation? This waffle some people are spouting about him trying to save people is missing the point, he is tarring homosexuality as a negative thing no matter what way you look at it. This helps forms the foundation of negativity towards gay people that we are working so hard to get rid of. We as a society decide what is acceptable as we have done/continue to do for sexism, racism etc. This is no different, hiding behind religion is only an excuse to stick your head in the sand and avoid addressing the real issue here. Discuss the point on its merits, not what book it was written in a long time ago.

    @Nathan Mawhinney: Not exactly, almost a year ago to the day, he posted something very similar to the post he was recently fired for, on that occasion he was warned. He subsequently went on to sign a new contract just 2 months ago, you can be damn sure there were stipulations attached to the most recent deal in light of his previous comments. He was under no obligation whatsoever to sign that deal if he wasn’t comfortable doing so. He could have easily retired there and then and gone on to preach whatever he wants. Stop making him out to be some kind of victim here, he was well aware of what would happen, and did it anyway, his views are completely at odds with ARU policies and those of ARU sponsors too, they had no option but to fire him.

    @Nathan Mawhinney: Any clown/troll can post racist comments online. But if you represent in sports a country where homosexuality is legally accepted, then you have a massive responsibility and duty to conduct yourself in a way that will never cause any pain or possibly even suicidal thoughts in members of the public. If he wants to make endless childish hateful neanderthal remarks then there are countries he can move that not too many people desire to live in where this type of carry-on is accepted.

What he did was re-state what is written in the scriptures of his religion in an effort to save the so called sinners. He has gay family members who he equally wants to save.

    We are constantly being told that Rugby is “inclusive”. Well it wasn’t when I was regularly mocked for being a Christian and was never selected again for my club U20s team after I spoke to the coach about him using the name of Jesus as a swear word. It isn’t inclusive when Stuart Barnes is happy to put these “inclusive” words in print: “Always loathed the way those Islanders formed a circle post-match their praises to what I regard as a fabrication.’” His article in The Times goes a lot further. So please, stop telling us rugby is inclusive. It isn’t.

    @Frantic Pigeon: What do you have difficulty believing? You don’t think that a young Christian was given a hard time in a rugby team? You don’t think that a young Christian would care enough about the name of Jesus to ask his coach to stop using it as a swear word? You don’t think that a coach could hold a grudge against a player? Or perhaps you don’t believe that Stuart Barnes could come out with racist anti-Christian abuse. Simon and Garfunkel were right: A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

    It’s hilarious how many people are defending a man who was fired for braking a contract that he agreed to after multiple warnings.

    He broke his own rules by lying when he agreed to that contract. He also claims to be against coveting money, yet negotiated the highest paid contract in Australia. Another thing he argues is that people must be humble, yet he has his own flippin name tattood on his chest, which is perhaps the most prideful and arrogant thing someone can do.

    He’s simply a hypocrite that uses religion as an excuse to discriminate against gay people.

    @Rudiger McMonihan: He isn’t being fired for practicing religion. There are plenty of very religious people playing the sport. He’s being fired for spreading hatred against a minority group, that are already discriminated against by others. Rugby fans can’t claim to tolerate different races, genders and sexualities and then allow our highest profile athletes to spread hatred against them. The ARU are just firing a bully who has been given numerous opportunities to stop.

    If Rory McIlroy came out on twitter today saying he’s joined a new religion where they have sex with dead bodies and that everyone should do it as it’s really good fun then he’d be in big trouble…. Why? Because he would be recommending something that is illegal. In the same way promoting racial hatred is illegal in Ireland and Australia.

    This has nothing to do with free speech people. This is breaking the law. Free speech is when you share an opinion on twitter that is not breaking the law such as ‘Donald Trump is such an annoying man-baby. I wish Clinton had won the election’

    Go and live in countries where it’s legal to insult gay people if you feel a need to do this.
