Love it.
@Sheik: Just watched it again. I still think a red was the right decision. He knocked it "slightly" sideways if you like. But if he wasn't fouled, he was gonna score.

That's just an embarassment of an interview. Who does he think he is really?
The guy's just asking him standard fucking questions. He's not antagonising him, he's not drawing shitty conclusions, he's focusing on the game, and Dalglish starts acting like a prick.
I realise you'll accuse me of anti-Dalglish bias but what's the need for him to be disrespectful to the guy for fuck all reason? "Oh, the media are cunts they deserve it" - Fuck off. Dalglish was happy to take Sky's appearance fees when he sat beside Keys as a pundit, so don't give me that shite.

You do realise you're doing a Rosco? No matter what Kenny does or say it's wrong. Just like Rafa.
Yes because the media are the paragon of sensibility aren't they. They ask stupid questions so deserve a stupid response.
Heh, fair point.
I'm not gonna go into detail cos it'd derail the valid point about that fucking interview, but safe to say - I'm not a fan.

And what are they supposed to ask? Kenny never talks about the next game and tells the reporter to focus on the game that was just played. The reporter asks him a question and gets a response like "you seen it yourself". It's childish.
I'm not really arsed with what you think about it. I wouldn't expect you to get what his attitude is all about.
You were "arsed" enough to go and google his fucking record and cut and paste it in response to what I "think about it" in the first place though?
Something intelligent?
And he would have given a lucid, thoughtful, respectful, intelligent response would he?
Don't know. He's never been asked anything intelligent.
It kinda works both ways, to be fair. Kenny is being needlessly arrogant, and defensive. His latest bunch of interviews has really pissed me off. I can see Ryan's point. There's no need to be rude about it. He'd be far better off answering the question as short and civil as possible. If anything, it will wind them up even more. I think it's safe to say that they're looking for a reaction from Kenny, and he falls for it hook, line and sinker every time.
However, the Sky Sports interviewers are a bunch of wankers. Some of the retarded questions they ask are ridiculous, and I can completely understand Kenny's frustration at them. They word everything to make it seem like they're having a dig at him.

We had a thread a year or two ago where we had to name our Dark Horse nomination.
I said then that this would be the year that Skrtel is recognised as world class.
That was two years ago ... you were a year too early mate ... 😉
Ryan - It's sad, but I only want us to win the league next year with Kenny just to see you see if you would be at all happy, and to see if you'd 'like Daglish' then (I assume you still like the player). Sad, eh?
As someone else said, I wouldn't mind as much if it was a little playful condescension with a smirk on his face, but I don't really see the need to appear to be so bitter and rude.
I was watching the build up to the Barcelona game last night and they had Michael Laudrup in the studio. At one point they were discussing the difference in approach between Mourinho and Guardiola. Mourinho is trying to create that sort of siege mentality as he always does by suggesting that they can only win if the refs let them etc. (something that at Real some of the players are really not a fan of). Guardiola on other hand is always pretty respectful to journalists and plays it more cooly. Laudrup said that on this he was with Guardiola every time and I have to agree.
If there was something specific to lash out about, fine, but I'm not really a fan of being rude or vindictive for the sake of it.

Perhaps Kenny has issues with the media from his past?
Personally, I'm not that bothered. Mourinho has done it - and I thought it was genius (especially with Chelsea, where he beat Slur Alex at his own game). Sir Alex does it. Wenger does it. So Kenny do it too ... Maybe it's too much, maybe we're harping on it because it seems like a 'bad sport' as the results have been so poor. I thought he was fine last year when things were going fine - and was complimented by most people.

After having been down to 10 men for most of the match, under normal circumstances i'd be made up if we came away from there with a win, but doing so with 6 youngsters starting just made it that little bit more special.
Quite a few top performances last night, but a big up to Andy Carroll! If he can play like that for us more often than not, then we have ourselves a very good player.

Kenny appeared next to Keys once..... He tore him a new arsehole with his pathetic questions a 5 year old could answer. Sky never asked him back. He has nothing for anyone associated with Sky and Murdoch, as they are all pathetic interviewers who couldn't structure a decent question if they tried all year. Parkinson they are not. He has decent relationships with the local press though, who think before they ask.
Give Blackburn credit...... Fuck off you cunt. That would have been my response. We have been playing football for 3 months like we have never kicked a togger in our lives...... We go away and win with 10 men for 3/4 of the game..... Credit to blackburn? I would have walked away at that point. Fuck them all, the media have reported on Liverpool the same way for 30 years, even when we were the best team in the world, they had nothing but negativity to write about us.
Rant over.
Look there's no need to be hysterical, if we win the league under him I'll be as mental as everyone else, but that aint going to happen.
This is a seperate issue though. He - as a few others have pointed out - was being an arsehole there for no reason. It's not a massive deal in the grand scheme of things and it'll be quickly forgotten, I just thought it was a bit shit and uncalled for.
If Ferguson, Wenger, Redknapp, anyone else had done it - I can guarantee you not one person on here would be suggesting that the interviewer's questions were to blame either.
I'm happy you'd be mental! 🙂 And yes, it will happen mate ... And don't tell me it won't because you 'rents told you not to be mean to your friends, and that's plain mean.
Ferguson is a cunt to most interviewers. Wenger has his moments. Has Redknapp ever been 'that' way? I don't think Daglish has much patience for the media, and it's - as I alluded to - most likely due to what he endured last time he was managing Liverpool. As I'm not 'English media expert,' I find what Sean, Mike, Liam etc are saying about the way Scousers feel towards the media - be it coverage of the football club, or city itself - as probably the reason why Kenny acts the way he does.
That's not what I said.
the questions are fucking STUPID. the MOMENT I heard 'are you happy you won' (paraphasing) I said to myself 'uh-oh' and kenny didn't disappoint. they have been interviewing kenny all season so if they ask stupid questions they can't blame kenny for being kenny.
'what did you think of your teams performance tonight'
how kenny can give an antagonistic answer to that?
