This is all self-serving PR. That club know what they are doing. They are stirring this up to create such an environment which, as it goes on, will make it increasingly more difficult refs to handle their matches and it will reach such a stage that rather than the fairness that their games been refereed in upto now, there will be a directive sent to 'go a little easy on them'. I suppose they are not used to not getting their way, this is all new to them. Normally it just takes Gerrard to fall over in a Bob Mortimer stylee and look at the ref with those bulging basset hound eyes, going 'eeeeeeeehhhhh ref' to get a penalty. This year those pesky refs have been really bold and are not responding, tut tut.
I don't remember Rodgers being as bad as this before. He had a few whines at Chelsea but never to this extent. It seems a tad strange to me its all started now. Either there is some aura of persecution that you inherit once you cross the greasy stains of Melwood or else this is something proferred by their PR unit. I suppose its easier to equate a crap start with being someone else's fault rather than admitting the truth.
On the other side of the road of persecution, and talking of PR units, have they taken over Setanta TV? I mean, every feckin' Saturday they show a Liverpool game, especially on Setanta Ireland anyway. Do they all just sit around in the Setanta offices wearing their red shirts all day? Well, given its Setanta I know its probably just one guy now.........
By the way, if you ever go to a shopping centre in Ireland, especially late morning/lunchtime on a Saturday and Sunday in the main cities, don't worry, you're not starring in a remake of Dawn of the Dead. Masses of them all in their red shirts. For once I'd love to say it was Man Utd shirts, but alas........sheep.
