Re: Liverpool Thread
I've seen the Folan thing again and I admit I was wrong there, it was quite bad. Saying that I still don't see how the ref could give the freekick on the edge of the area against Carragher for the same thing Skrtel did and not give that!
And I wouldn't say I was paranoid mate. Everyone knows that most people are heavily influenced by what the papers and TV say about football, so having a panel full of ex-Liverpool players and the Tottenham assistant manager on the live broadcast and then Alan Hansen on MOTD is hardly providing a neutral, impartial viewpoint.
Then you've got Alan Green (a massive Liverpool fan who had a big fall out with Sir Alex years ago which he is still bitter about) presenting probably the most listened to show on 5Live with everything he says so anti-United it's untrue. Also consider that as Fergie won't even talk to the BBC, they've got no reason to write anything of a positive opinion on their website unless they want to. When we beat Stoke away, all that was focused on was Ronaldo 'lashing out' at the lad who got sent off. It was emphasised and analysed and MOTD didn't even show the perfectly legitimate goal Tevez scored that was ruled out for offside.
Then Sky Sports have got Jamie Redknapp who just praises his dad and his mates all the time regardless of whether it's merited or not and you can start to see what I'm saying?
That's without talking about the papers who just look for scandal and controversy at every chance and aren't even interested in writing about the fucking game itself.
Like it or not, man on the street listen to these people and if they go on about something long enough, he will start to beleive it.
PhatJ makes a good when he says it's a shame we're talking about the ref and not the players, that says it all. The biggest (almost only) talking point of the whole weekend is that one decision which isn't even half as bad as some other ones made lately and it's just been magnified beyond belief.
