ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[JelavicBrate2]

I've been wondering for a while now if one of the things a regulator should look at is how clubs are represented in the media, through pundits and journalists. I'd like to see a rule that makes any pundit declare an allegiance to one Premier League club and for that information to be displayed whenever they talk, whilst not letting more than one pundit per club for any game with all clubs having a representitive pundit of their own for every televised game they play in.

Frankly it's too late to change things. As I've said before on here there's far too many RS in media. Mouriniho talked about it. It's my belief that RS domination of media, hugely influences refs decisions and other things. They know that if they give decisions against RS it will be talked about non stop. It's one thing that infuriates me in general with media, people pretending to be unbiased while having clear biases.

Their manager is such a big head (in more ways than one).

Prepare for the Jota card everything they don't get a result.

I didn't think it was possible to despise the RS any more than I did already but every day is a school day! Apparently their reluctance to dive is costing them free kicks!

Setting the narrative for the referees to follow this season. So par for the course really.

The bald gimp.

I'm sorry but this has become ridiculous now. I was gutted for the lad, his brother, his wife, family and most of all his kids. This won't end well.

Premier League clubs to pay tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva this weekend

A moment of silence in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva will be held at all Premier League matches this weekend.

It's ridiculous, had it happened last week or 2 weeks ago fine, my issue is that we've already paid tribute to Jota. They paid tribute at Preston, they had a freindly at Anfield.

Another tribute tonight before the Bournemouth game.

The BBC really are taking the biscuit now. Random massive article 'Mo Salah Egyptian king.' No context to it, just a big massive piece about him. Did he win the Balon D'or yesterday or something? Very strange timing for such an article seeing as he's barely played in a proper match for getting on 3 months.

Absolute joke.

Mohamed Salah: Egyptian king - where it all began for Liverpool star

BBC Sport visits Egypt to discover what Mohamed Salah means to the people of the football-mad country, and how a small boy from humble beginnings became a national icon.

Strange indeed, mate...

Considering that, he also made an arse of himself last weekend as well.

How many minutes in do they get their penalty?

Chelsea to donate portion of Club World Cup prize money to family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva

Chelseas players will share a bonus pot of £11.4m after winning the Club World Cup; after a joint decision between the club and the squad, a portion of that prize money will be donated to the family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva

www.skysports.com

Why would they do this? Was it necessary? donate to a charity in his name I'd be all for it, but to the family, I doubt they were left on the breadline. The man was earning 150K a week, There's probably thousands killed on the roads every day who's family get nothing but a family of a millionaire get handed money.
I'm sorry if that sounds cold to people but I cant get my head around the reason for this.

Smart money's on 20 minutes...
That was Jota's shirt number, wasn't it?

Watch, they’ll get away with murder again this season…


It’s infuriating!

A line needs drawing under this now.
Remember when Gary Speed tragically died - all teams had minutes silence paid our respects the teams closest to him did their tributes and that was all.

But ‘this means more’.
