Imam at Liverpool FC victory parade hits out at 'disgusting' rumours over car tragedy
A British imam has hit out at social media posts blaming Muslims for the carnage at the Liverpool FC Premier League victory parade on Monday. Adam Kelwick, who leads the Abdullah Quilliam Mosque in Liverpool, was at the parade with friends and family, when the tragedy happened. Four children were among 50 people injured, with one youngster seriously hurt, when a car drove into the crowd. Mr Kelwick, who diffused tension in Liverpool during the Southport riots last year, warned that online fake news was already spreading about the perpetrator's identity. Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims said the 'horrific incident' was not being treated as terrorism following the arrest of a 53-year-old white British man at the scene. Look at what happened in Southport, was that not enough? Adam Kelwick The force said the suspect was the driver of the car, and that he was from the Liverpool area. Yet social media posts are falsely suggesting the detained man was a Muslim, and that police were concealing his identity, Mr Kelwick said. 'I'm very disappointed. When I went online like a lot of people, we saw the rumours they were starting to spread again,' he said in a social media post, while wearing a Liverpool T-shirt. Liverpool had been celebrating their 20th Premier League title on Monday, and Mr Kelwick reminded followers that Mohammed Salah, who was named the league's Player of the Year, held the trophy on the bus. He was worried that these online rumours could cause anti-Muslim riots as they did in August last year in the aftermath of the Southport stabbings. Mosques and hotels hosting asylum seekers were attacked in August last year after fake news spread online that the Southport killer of three girls had been a Muslim asylum seeker. More than 1,511 arrests were made that week. Mr Kelwick came into the spotlight then for inviting the rioters into his mosque for a meal, in an attempt to diffuse community tension. But his patience appeared to have run out this time. 'I think it's disgusting to be honest. Look at what happened in Southport, was that not enough?' he said. 'When we saw the chaos on our streets, when we saw our city centres being smashed up, when we saw mosques being attacked, when we saw immigration centres being attacked and people's businesses. Was that not enough?' He accused the people spreading those rumours of 'dragging' the incident 'into their narrative of turning people against each other'. Mr Kelwick urged his followers to call out the fake news online, by messaging the person spreading it to correct their mistake. But he was hopeful that Liverpool's communities would 'come together' to prevent a fall out. 'Since the riots last summer, we've come together with communities. People from all different parts of Liverpool who would never have mixed, never have met each other before, and we've built bridges, and we've built friendships,' he said. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he had spoken to the Mayor of Liverpool about the incident, adding: 'Everyone, especially children, should be able to celebrate their heroes without this horror.' At a press conference late on Monday evening, Dave Kitchin from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) said 27 people were taken to hospital and 20 people were treated at the scene, with four children among the injured. Nick Searle, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service chief fire officer, said four people who were trapped under the car, including a child, were rescued by firefighters. Witness Mike Maddra told the PA news agency the 'car turned left, mounted pavement, come towards us and runs towards the buildings'. He said 'we got out the way and it was speeding up'. Mr Maddra said he thought he saw two people being hit and added, 'it looked deliberate'.

Liverpool mastered the succession plan but Premier League glory revealed a key lesson for rivals
So, that's the 2024-25 Premier League final table set and locked into the records… a scenario that carries much more weight than that basic description might sound. The 'imminent' outcome of the Manchester City hearing didn't arrive, so its repercussions - whatever they might be - will not be felt until next season. It remains remarkable we're still waiting, although it consequently fits with a largely drab season that often felt like it was being drawn out. Even the brief civil war from City's APT case petered out, the emotions put aside until 'the big one', as Liverpool cantered to their 20th top-flight title. England's most successful club winning '20' will be the main legacy of the 2024-25 season, to go with the sensational bottoming-out of the other record-holders: Manchester United. There are some lessons from that, too. Aside from Arne Slot showing how a succession plan can properly work, even in an emotional sense, there was the science of it all. A huge factor in Liverpool winning was they kept their best players fit, especially Mohammed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. That again might sound elementary, but it elevated them far above everyone, particularly rivals downed by a chaotic new European calendar, with Arsenal unable to endure a number of costly absences. That was far from just luck. Liverpool are the best physically prepared team, which afforded them a decisive advantage. The managers of their closest rivals, Mikel Arteta, is known to have been monitoring this with interest. It is at least possible the 2024-25 season becomes a watershed in that sense, as clubs finally realise the importance of being 'performance-led'. In other words, allowing all major decisions to be dictated by the science and data. That may run alongside other evolutions, such as a leaning towards less intensive coaches who are willing to work in such systems, as well as a shift towards more pragmatic football. The age of the ideologue might be over, as coaches like Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola seek to allow more individual expression in their tactics. While much of this has been cast as a riposte to Pep Guardiola's 'positional game', he is far from gone. The Manchester City manager didn't end up suffering a 'Mourinho season', to use Antonio Conte's mischievous description. After an unprecedented winter crisis, his club went and spent almost a quarter of a billion to secure Champions League football. They did it with some comfort, in the end. That illustrates one reason why this campaign did not ultimately see the rise of the middle classes, in the way that had excitedly been anticipated for many months. All of Brighton, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest ultimately faded away, while Aston Villa faltered in the final minutes, spurning a glorious chance to secure Champions League football despite the highly-controversial impact from referee Thomas Bramall. The six clubs who have ultimately qualified for the Champions League are five former Super League members. Another is owned by a state. There was at least a defiance and emotion to this specific Newcastle United team winning the Carabao Cup, but that points to how it was the cups that were left to carry most of the romance. Crystal Palace's FA Cup victory will go down as one of the great moments of modern football. Oliver Glasner has marked himself as one of the brightest coaches in the game, but any aspirations about rising up that league table might well be tempered by a complaint that many of those above them have: that congested European calendar. There were also such complaints below them. In winning the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur defied the modern perceptions of the club, but also their own atrocious league form. The domestic collapses of Spurs and United still form one of the stories of the season, even though defeats became so routine that they were no longer any way surprising. There is still a case study there, and maybe more lessons. Put bluntly, it shouldn't be possible for clubs of such wealth to finish so low. It is almost reverse alchemy. While Spurs have changed the entire tenor of the season through victory in Bilbao, defeat made it so much worse for United. It sets up an even more important campaign for the club next year, and one that could have bigger questions for Ruben Amorim, Sir Jam Ratcliffe and the Glazers. Both Spurs and United could have been in proper trouble had it not been for an even more problematic trend from the season. The damaging nature of the financial gap between the Premier League and the EFL has now been emphatically proven. This is the first time that the three promoted clubs have gone straight back down for the second season in a row. The relegated sides accumulated a collective points total that has never been so low for the bottom three. You could say 59 is pitiful, except it isn't really their fault. It's the system. So many clubs coming up now are going to face the threat of doing 'a Derby County'. The football governance bill passing through Lords can't really have come at a better time, especially given the inability to strike a deal on the redistribution of some of the Premier League's ample wealth to the EFL. The regulator came out of the Super League, and the exact same issues have this season brought more fan protest both from those in the stands and on the pitch. The Ballon d'Or holder Rodri discussed striking before suffering a serious injury. More absurdly, discussions have taken place about the prospect of legal action over refereeing decisions in the Premier League. The David Coote controversy only escalated that situation, the some claiming the PGMOL were in crisis. 'Refereeing standards' and VAR now dominate the debate, in a way that previously became synonymous in Italy and Spain. It all combines to fuel self-defeating hysteria. With the campaign concluding with an enormous refereeing error hurting Aston Villa and prompting them to register an official complaint. So 2024/25 continued the trend of off-field conditioning overshadowing, at times, the action on the field. But ultimately it was about a sense of waiting for the big one.

Oliver Glasner criticises a 'few' Crystal Palace players after draw at Liverpool
Oliver Glasner was frustrated with the lack of effort from some of his Crystal Palace squad during Sunday's final day draw with Liverpool. The Eagles took the lead inside ten minutes on Liverpool's Premier League crowning afternoon when Tyrick Mitchell intercepted Connor Bradley's loose pass and threaded an incisive through ball to Ismaila Sarr in between the Reds' split defence. The Senegalese international, one-on-one with Alisson, drove his effort into the bottom corner, and at that point, Palace were tenth in the top flight. Palace had plenty of openings on the break at Anfield and were dangerous in transition, but could not find the final pass or end-product in front of goal to extend their lead. Liverpool were reduced to ten men with 20 minutes to play when Ryan Gravenberch brought last man Daichi Kamada down just inside his own half after miscontrolling the ball and slipping. However, the Reds were in the ascendancy despite Gravenberch's dismissal, and they capitalised on Romain Esse's poor decision-making, breaking at speed before Premier League Golden Boot winner Mohammed Salah topped the move off with his swiped finish into the top corner. Palace boss Glasner withdrew 19-year-old Esse soon after the mistake and told the News Shopper in his post-match press conference that 'He knows why he was subbed and that's enough'. Glasner also criticised the absence of teamwork from a few of his players on the final day of the season. 'I have two feelings today, I'm not really pleased with our performance, not in general but a few players didn't play 100% for the team and how we want to play. 'I didn't like to see this. There was a little bit of ego in some situations. That's why we drew, because there were so many situations to win this game. 'I don't forget our start to the season, where it was a little bit similar and we missed our chances and opportunities because of a lack of determination. 'I felt this today, which is why I am not pleased with the performance. We can always find excuses. It's easy to find excuses. If we always find excuses, we'd be at the bottom end of the table and relegated. 'There's always a reason for something, there's always a reason for missing chances, always a reason for whatever. "We prepared in a professional way. We arrived yesterday. So if somebody didn't want to play today, then they should have just told me, and then they could have stayed at home in London. 'When we go to Liverpool and play here at Anfield in front of 60,000, then I expect complete focus, determination and commitment, and I don't think every player did that today. "We are talking about raising our standards and a few things that I saw today, I don't accept. It's just my feeling today. 'Maybe it's a little unfair when you see the big picture over the season. But if we have the mindset from today, next season we will struggle again and I don't want to experience that again. 'The goal was to play 100% Crystal Palace football. We lost the ball, went on a great counter-press press and then it's about the habits. Tyrick Mitchell wins the ball and he knows our far ten is free – we've scored so many goals like this. 'Then I expect that we are that focused because you have just time for two or three touches, and Tyrick, who was fantastic today, found Ismaila. "He runs one-on-one with the keeper, but not everyone had the focus to find the free player with one or two touches that's needed to play against the Champions. 'I know that it's not the individual quality; we just didn't have the focus on the day. The goal was fantastic, how it happened and how Ismaila finished. 'It's an unbeaten end to the season, point record and FA Cup winners. "Overall, it's a fantastic season, and hopefully we learn from this game and don't make the same mistakes when we meet for pre-season.' A point away to Premier League winners Liverpool took Crystal Palace's points tally to a record-breaking 53, finishing 12th in the top-flight.
