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

[Khalekan]

We both know he had no hesitation of wearing a Sun tshirt.

Then he's taken to wearing a tokenistic armband.

The man is fickle and plays up to sympathies in which ever way the wind appears to be blowing.

And if he is offered a gig which requires the wearing of a Sun tee-shirt a year after he leaves Anfield, I bet all the faux concern he had for Hillsborough and which he exploited so shamelessly during the Easter Championship winning campaign will soon be jettisoned.

Fecker that he is.

 

[davek]

Notice the way he says they have no problems defensively apart from simple mistakes. No problems in the organisation he says, ie. nothing to do with me.

And the fact he is bemoaning their luck is ridiculous

Just poor players letting Gnasher's masterplan down...that's how he's remained potless all this time. That'll be it.

 

[toffee matt]

Can see them getting hammered big time tonight.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's 3,4 or even 5-0 city

 

[davek]

Well judging by what I quoted earlier, hes getting his excuses in early complaining about his own bleedin' pitch affecting their style of play after one Summer game...they'll all be like Eddie the Eagle on their arses by the time the winter kicks in. Gerrard wont live that down ever now...bad enough teams supporters singing about it all over the place..now his own managers reminding him of it. So much for the master of psychology ...the Chimp Paradox master BR.

I bet his groundsmen are chuffed reading that, by the way.

"eh lads, you're costing us points here" Nice.

What's he worried about anyway, they usually knock it 60 yards down the field. You dont need grass for that.

Try walking in to a house in liverpool with a copy

Implying I didn't live there for 20 years.

Mate, this has potential to backfire on you. I remember it, I won't buy The Sun.

Yes, youngsters may latch on to it, but with good reason, as long as someone tells them of the general feeling of the time as well.

You don't mean ill, but I advise you to drop it mate, for your own good.

I see what you're saying, but holding grudges holds people back. There's a reason the city is seen as the whole victimised stereotype and honestly, it's sad to hear, but I understand where people are coming from when they say it. I'd love for people to have an open mind about the city but that just isn't going to happen when it's this hostile. The things people say are quite upsetting and maybe you still living there, you don't care, but I don't really like it.

 

[Khalekan]

If, god help us, that happened to us, I wouldn't appreciate a red telling me to let it go mate.

This is the thing about Hillsborough, Mini.

It did happen to us.

It was a tragedy which befell the City of Liverpool....the fact it involved the eponymous football team is a side issue.

Although the dead were wearing red favours, those left to mourn them were Blue and Red in equal numbers.

The tragedy hit home for as many Evertonians as it did Liverpudlians.

The Sun was the house rag of the Thatcher stormtroopers and after the defeat of the Miners they turned their attention to this city.....a place where Thatcher's writ never ran.

They had a visceral hated of the City of Liverpool and it's people.

The tragedy at Sheffield gave them a chance to heap hateful vitriol on every man, woman and child in the city.

And that is what McKenzie proceeded to do, with the full support of Thatcher and her gang of carpetbaggers and inbreds

Never forget that, Mini.

And this is why Brent and Gerrard's invocation of the Hillsborough dead was so distasteful toward the end of last season.

Brent's infamous "96 supporters in the sky" remark has never been subject to the opprobrium it deserved.

The climate they had created round the anniversary of the tragedy defied any voice in the media to call them on what was going on there at the time for fear of being buried under an avalanche of bile.

LFC are now using the tragedy to further a "brand" and IMO that is every bit as distasteful as what The Sun did all those years ago.

Ha yeah...that's the groundstaff, Gerrard and, er, the whole defence hes blaming today in different arrticles the Rodgersesque way. I bet the laundry staff and the kitman's getting a bit edgy for October.... "Aye...and the shirts have been hung up differently at the away grounds too so that's been affecting us psychology wise a wee bit and costing us the odd goal, sho it has"

RS, the sun, thatcher, were and are in their own way all kopite/bells

He did exactly the same at Reading. Exactly the same. Blamed everyone/thing but himself.

 

[Boss_Blue]

8 years ago.

That's okay then

He does it in a very sly manner: "X" happened/has happened, it was/is a blow...but it had/has absolutely no impact on our title challenge last season/chances of winning the title this season.

There'll be no flies on Gnashers.

 

[hullefc]

When things go well e.g beating Spurs 5-0 Rodgers couldn't wait to tell the world, 'our tactics were spot on' i.e the game plan I worked out. Praise the lord for me. When it goes wrong e.g Chelsea losing 2-0 at home, when all they needed was a draw, it wasn't the organisation/tactics that were to blame but individuals i.e defensive mistakes and Slippy me. Same as at Palace 3-0 up shut up shop but know, Rodgers made attacking subs i.e his tactic but when it went pear shaped it was 'the players played Roy of the Rovers football'.

The man's a grade A fraud, never his fault always someone else. Like the 3 envelopes tuppence ha'penny psychology, 'there are 3 people that will let the group down, and I've put their names in these envelopes'.

Now the buffoon has claimed the pitch is to blame because 'it's not fast enough'. Why would you need a fast pitch when Stevie me hoofs the ball down field 350 times a season, Wimbledon/Bolton/Stoke 'anti-football' style.

 

[wandyr79]

I am baffled by the pitch comment, I could understand the comment further into the season but they have played on it once since the season started so he really has put the boot into the groundsman.

I just hope for his sake that the Man City groundsman has used the right blades and watering system otherwise Rodgers will have to try and actually think about tactics.

The kitman better not change the washing powder . It would affect performance , so it would

 

[FTY]

Doesn't matter if its 80 years ago.

It's disgusting

That's okay then

Not what I meant.

But the post then was speaking as if it was yesterday.
