Rodgers' on Suarez's dive today

[Woland]

Fuck the refs feelings. It's not like we're about to get anything off them anyways.

Crerand is a total bigot. When he appears on TV he does not even attempt to put on a pretence of fair-mindedness.

I agree Jimmy. though to be fair my immediate reaction was that it was a dive so you can see why Clattenburg got it wrong.
The linesman also got the Hernandez goal wrong though it too was a tough call.
Those cunts always seem to get the marginal calls in their favour.

I agree Count. Having said that, my first thought on seeing it was that he dived, so it's understandable that Clattenburg made a mistake.

Also, the assistant should've ruled out Hernandez's goal, even if it was a difficult decision.

But then the fucking mancs usually do get all the close decisions their way, so what can ya do.

Ah Paddy Crerand of IRA fame.
Thought he might be brought up better himself.

He's Twittered:

Ref Luis Suarez what i said jokingly because opposing supporters will always have strong opinions on him. But a tremendous player for LFC.

Fudgie needs to watch it. He said in the presser today about the 'offside' decision that he could see after the match that the ref was really angry with himself for getting it wrong. Now unless the ref said that to Fudgie, it's not up to him to interpret an expression as an admission and then broadcast it to the media. It doesn't sound any better than an outright criticism of a ref, which usually results in a fine. I'm sure he's right in this instance but he wouldn't want a ref to imagine his own supposed contrition.

I see the point you're making but I'm not sure I agree. Everyone knows it was the wrong decision, and I think Rodgers comes across as conciliatory about it.

Yes, but I just don't think it's wise to tell the press what he thinks the referee thinks. Say what HE thinks, fine, but it's needlessly provocative to the refs to speak on their behalf, especially as you know they'll probably retaliate in the usual cynical ways.
