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


Yaya Toure

"When I was watching the Liverpool vs Manchester City game I was telling my friends 'he's not going to give a penalty against Trent Alexander-Arnold' because it was Liverpool and Anfield and it is too difficult. I've experienced it myself and it is very difficult.

"When we talk about the game on Sunday, it was a clear penalty. If he doesn't touch the ball it is going to Raheem and he can score. It's complicated but we have to move forward."

I said this before. They have mastered the way to use var in their favour.
They know what they can get away with and how to get decisions to work in their favour.
The refs just swing some decisions against them just to mix it up a bit like firminios armpit etc.

For every one that goes against them there will be another 5 that go in their favour, got to create a little bit of doubt to muddy the waters.

Media didn't like him mostly for 1 reason.... Liverpool fans don't like him for 2 reasons..

Sterling was a good young player who left Liverpool.... With every other gifted young player, the media can't link him with a move to a bigger club soon enough... We had it with Rooney straight away, we had it with barkley straight away...we had it with Stones....with every other Club outside the 'Top 4' its the same...

But God forbid a young Liverpool player make a move to the new rich club, the new club that was winning stuff.... Suddenly he was a mercenary, he was flash with the cash..... Rooney was none of these things though.....No young player who signed for Liverpool was a mercenary, it was simply a good career move then...

That's the media...



On Sunday, the hatred directed from Liverpool fans towards Sterling was uncomfortable... We all boo ex players to an extent, Rooney was booed at Goodison, but never as badly & universally as Sterling is at Anfield.... Alot of that is bitterness that a gifted young player walked away from the 'almighty Liverpool', how dare he!!.... Alot of that was racist anger directed at a black player for leaving Liverpool... Sterling is Jamaican born, grew up in London, he's not a scouser, he's not a boyhood Liverpool fan... Did Liverpool fans think he was scum for leaving his local team QPR so young to better his career?....Did the media question his character for leaving QPR for bigger money and bigger opportunities at Liverpool?...

You are 100% bang on the money with post!
The hate was actually started by Brendan Rodger when Sterling flatly told them he wanted leave
The media was fed all sorts of lies and falsehoods and they absolutely lapped it up. The hate was then perpetuated by a raft of ex Liverpool pundits with John Aldridge leading the charge.talkSPORT couldn't get enough of it and hammered him on a daily basis. Only to do a swift about turn led by a rant in favour him by Adrian Durham - which is a total joke as previously the station had crucified him.
What Sterling had to put up with was totally disgraceful and it only stopped when he rightly called them
out for blatant racism. He then suddenly became the golden, poster boy of English football all be it through the gritted teeth of the media. It is exactly has you say: A player had the temerity to leave the mighty Liverpool to better himself both financially and on the pitch. The large bag of medals Sterling now has stashed in his bottom draw proves beyond all doubt the decision he made to leave was the correct one. As we all know Liverpool are excellent at manipulating the media but what they did to Sterling is totally unforgivable.

I love Kubrick's movies, but Jack Nicholson was all wrong in that lead role.

The plot is that the hotel slowly turns him insane, where as he's nuckin futs when he first turns up for the job interview.

Redrum! Redrum!​
 

Given that VAR is now the referees oracle and, in spite of the controversial decisions it has already produced, it appears this week that Swarbrick and Riley (sounds like a plumbers merchants) are happy with their baby. I dont have much confidence that any appeal about Oliver would have any success. Maybe a concerted effort from clubs to could get the whole VAR controversy examined properly and out in the open could fine tune it all. Im not holding my breath though.
