The Liverpool Thread

Really didn't think it possible to be even more out of touch with reality than Dalglish, but fuck me sideways if Rodgers hasn't got there, having been inside the insular Liverpool machine a week or so too long. My word.

Didn't realise managers could call refs for one to one chats???

 

The arsehole phoned Mike Riley. Five games into the season and he's ringing the Head of referees to have a moan about some decisions.

Decisions go against us says Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool boss speaks to referees' chief

 

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has spoken to referees' chief Mike Riley about decisions going against his team.

 

The Reds boss feels his side, who are yet to win in the Premier League this season, have been on the end of a number of unfair decisions over the opening weeks of the campaign.

 

Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Anfield saw Jonjo Shelvey sent off, while a penalty was also given against Liverpoolbut they were denied their own when Luis Suarez went down in the area.

 

Rodgers was also unhappy with some of the decisions in Wednesday's 2-1 Capital One Cup win at West Brom and says he has contacted Riley to voice his frustration.

 

He told Sky Sports: "The opening period of this season, we haven't had any rub of the green whatsoever from officials.

 

"I rang Mike Riley this morning. I think he was actually expecting me to comment a bit earlier.

 

"I just said to Mike, we have to be careful that we don't discourage people and players who are trying to respect the game. We want to win the game but we want to win it by fair means."

 

The manager added: "The players have been outstanding in their work. But us being a sporting team and going by the letters of the law and the rules, it just seems to pass us by in terms of decisions.

 

"We've had a few sendings-off, a few penalties given against us and absolutely nothing that we've been given at all."

 

 

 

So there is no rules, a manager can give any ref a bell and discuss any decision he didn't get, surely that should be against the rules??

 

Imagine the phonecall.

 

BR: Hi, would it be possible to speak to Mike Riley please?................It's Brendan..................Rodgers. Brendan Rodgers......................Brendan Rodgers..............Liverpool...........Yeah got the job in the summer............cheers, thanks.

 

MR: Hi Brendan what can I do for you?

MR: Are you questioning the integrity of my referees?

 

BR: No, no, no not at...

 

MR: OK, no bother then. Nice speaking to you. Goodbye.

Worst thing about the refs is, the head of them is Mike Riley...one of the worst ref we have ever produced.

 

worst ref in prem ever is stuart attwell (from nuneaton)

got busted down to league 1 for a string of controversies including the ghost goal which actually went out for a goal kick.

 

steaming pile of shit.

Suarez is the biggest f***ing cheat in the entire PL ffs, f*** off Rodgers you c***.

 

Aye, can't believe he's portraying him as some kind of put-upon victim.

 

Such a ridiculously pointless threat as well - "look you referees, I really didn't want to have to do this, but I might have to ask Suarez and Stevie G to start diving...."  :jesuswept:

You must have seen Riley, he should have been busted down into coal. Atwell is shit as are a fair few others. But to have Riley in charge of them is just mental.

The last thing you would want to do as manager is draw attention and have the ref look at those two's antics more closely.

So they aren't getting Penalties because they dive, so they will dive to try to win some penalties.

 

Righto. Sideways football and it would seem a sideways fitted brain.

GOAL!! A fantastic finish by Parky. The ball breaks down the right after a slip by the left back. A superb cross takes a wicked deflection, before Parky executes a perfect overhead kick into the top right hand corner. PARKY 2-0 RODGERS.

 

Sorry Jeff!

 

I forgot to add this goal stemmed from a quick counter attacking break after Liverpool's Tom Daley may have been fouled in the box.

 

UNBELIEVABLE!
