Reds on the Rock - St. John's ULSC

05/31/2026

As we woke up Saturday morning (Yesterday), we were met with the news that Arne Slot had been released from the final year of his contract with Liverpool FC.

Like any manager, Slot had his critics, but it's important to remember that he guided Liverpool to our 20th league title. He also helped lead the club through one of the most difficult periods in its recent history following the tragic death of Diogo Jota.

Unfortunately, as the season progressed, things appeared to unravel. Results became inconsistent, and it seemed that the players, coaching staff, and club leadership were no longer fully aligned.

Our hope should be that Liverpool does not become a club that constantly cycles through managers. One of the hallmarks of our greatest eras has been stability, vision, and patience. Whoever comes in next, we should hope they are given the opportunity to build something lasting ... and of course, bring more trophies to Anfield.

At the moment, Iraola appears to be the favourite, but Liverpool has often moved quietly and surprised us when it comes to managerial appointments. We may not have to wait long to find out. With a full pre-season ahead, there is an opportunity for a fresh start, renewed energy, and a clear vision for the future.

What do you think ultimately led to Slot's departure?

And if you could choose Liverpool's next manager, who would be your first choice and why?

And the season ends with an anti-climatic draw, 1-1 to Brentford.

We wanted to spend a moment to thank all you loyal Reds for growing with the group this year. There was a couple highs but a lot of lows … testing the mental fortitude.

We can hopefully only go up from here, as we take a much needed break to reset over the off-season. Questions back to you … what do you want to see this off-season? What transfers? What strategy change? Leave your thoughts in the comments below to kick start the conversation.

For now, we say farewell to Mo and Robbo … until next time my friends. Legends.

Go behind the scenes at Anfield for the final fixture of the 2025/2...

A long, challenging, at times exhausting, season draws to a close this weekend with one final home tie against Brentford. (12:30 NT kickoff)

With Champions League football all but secured, tomorrow's fixture will be all about bidding farewell to two modern day club legends that we will be telling our grandchildren about.

Our Egyptian king Mo Salah, as well as our indomitable Scottish left back Andy Robertson are set to don the Reds colors for one final time at Anfield tomorrow. Sending them off in style with three points would be most fitting!

As for our crew, it's been wonderful watching the numbers increase as we march towards OLSC status! I've enjoyed my time getting to know you all and grumbling about Arne Slot together. LOL

Let's rally the troops one more time before we enter World Cup mode! We can lock down the back tables of the Duke while the rest can watch West Ham up by the bar.

This season has not gone according to plan unfortunately…

With yesterday’s results, we’re almost fully guaranteed Champions League football (Outside of truly disastrous results for us … though Gerrard & Stoke City are a fairly recent memory).

What do we need to do this off-season to get ourselves back on track? Do we have the right mix of players and coaches? Do we just need a prolonged break to reset?

What are your thoughts?

Virgil van Dijk believes the greatest testament to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson's impact at Liverpool is the legacy they will leave for others to follow.

A 3-2 defeat in the M6 derby to rivals Manchester United.

A valiant effort all the same in the second half, with Dominik Szoboszlai taking the team on his shoulders to tie it up at 2-2.

From there, you knew the game had another goal to it. Unfortunately, the true reds being on the wrong side of it.

Some solid performances still to be proud, looking at you Río and Jones 👀.

Some big matches still to come with Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Brentford. Where will we finish on the league table?

Full-time.

Biggest match of the season?

With qualification almost in the bag, we continue our tough run in with a trip to Old Trafford to take on our eternal rivals! Kick off at noon NT.

heads a semi-long list of absentees for this one. Hoping we can find some production out of the likes of and to see us over the line.

Let's pack the Duke and fill the back wall with Scouse-leaning voices to drain out the Mancs up by the bar!

Score predictions? Can we avenge the defeat from earlier this season?

A nice 3-1 win on a fine sunny day in Anfield, as we take it to Crystal Palace (Who this season has been a boogie team for us).

With goals from Isak, Robbo, and Wirtz to seal the deal. Hopefully, the goal for Isak is a sign of things that could be as we look to conclude the season over the next four days.

Woodman comes in on a spot start (Hopefully he's ok), and steps up. With some wonderful saves throughout the game.

Who was your MOTM? Can we kick on and get 3rd to finish up the season?

Victory at Anfield ✊

A huge 2-1 injury time secured win over rivals Everton on the away side of the annual derby match fixtures. A massive goal from a corner by Virg sealing the victory.

It wasn't pretty. It wasn't convincing. However, the job was done and we get a massive 3 points as we strive still for Champions League qualification.

Who was your MOTM? It was nice to see Salah get on the scoreboard through a lovely assist by Gakpo. Still waiting to see more from Isak as he hopefully clicks into gear again before we clue up the season.

Not to get ahead of myself ... HUGE match against Manchester United within the next two weeks. This is the one to circle the calendars for a major Duke of Duckworth meet up!

04/18/2026

A titanic Premier League tussle awaits for the Reds! Our first ever trip to the brand spankin' new Hill Dickinson Stadium to take on our Merseyside brothers.

As our European adventure comes to an end, the focus shifts 100% on league placement. Sadly we will soldier on without our brightest attacking light in Hugo , who may well be injured well into next season.

Kickoff is 10:30 AM NT, let's pack the back wall at the Duke! (With the manager being an Evertonian, the place will almost certainly be open early)

Score predictions? Will Slot give Rio a start?

I'll choose to forget that we had a game mid-week and will choose to honour one of our club legends that won everything and gave his all... ANDY ANDY ANDY ANDY ROBERTSON!

A young scottish lad we took from Hull City on what could have been one of the best transfer deals of club history. He'll go down as a stalwart of the club and I wish nothing but the best for him.

What was your fav Robbo moment? Let's get to some sharing today! I know for me, I'll always remember the epic push fown of Messi in the 4-0 come back win at Anfield. What a night that was.

Andy Robertson will leave Liverpool after nine seasons with his status as a club legend well and truly cemented.
