[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Fairly pathetic excuse to duck out of an interview after losing a game to a rival.

In Dipperdom any excuse will do!

Oh don't we fucking know it.

Klopp refused to do an interview with BBC5live as the woman sounded as though she had a cold. I sort of got his concerns but he was genuinely rude to her.
She went on to explain she was fine to work and it was a chest infection, was on antibiotics and wasn't contagious.
He said he wouldn't speak to her and asked why she wasn't wearing a mask?
Arrogant tw4t!

Meh, weird fucker does weird thing shocker.

 

[tommybooth]

Shit. Positive headlines on the back of the newspapers. Surly not.

 

[train man]

Simon Stone not even trying to disguise how much he hates us, I for one love to read his bile, he must be churning up inside every time we win.

It's a pathetic piece, completely disjointed and with no mention of the game itself. How does anyone get paid for such poor 'writing'? No salient points, in fact just no point at all, absolutely shit!
edit: but, yes, he still contrives to worm an anti-City message in there with 'all wc stars played' etc, but not a word on an excellent game, dominated by City.

Sorry, but nowadays (especially given the environment he works in) that's sensible. Admittedly I haven't listened to it so he may have come across as a bit harsh but still, I'd refuse it. He's done plenty of other interviews so he's not trying to dodge them, although his VAR complaint for a goal that wasn't scored anyway, came across as odd to say the least.

Like I said, I got his concerns but he was bang out of order on asking why she wasn't wearing a mask.

Maybe just his "sense of humour" which really doesn't come across as such. He usually has the same expression on his face as when he's going to tear someone a new one.

He’s an ungracious twat, nothing more to add.

I feel like it's a reasonable concern and Juliette Ferrington maybe should have worn a mask given what's happened in the last 2 years. It's a time of year when people see a lot of elderly relatives and as a football manager the last thing you need is something going round the squad like France had last week.

However, he could have spoken to her off air or just been more polite about it.

Cant see much wrong in that to be honest in the present climate. Dont think he was rude

Have to agree on that one. Visited a few family and friends on Wednesday. I am just getting over a cold, and wore a mask in each of their homes, as I wouldn't want to pass it on at this time of year more than ever. Just manners.

Although I think he's a massive throbber I agree with him on this, our household has been wiped out by a bug this week.

Also wouldnt it be good practice by the bbc to ask her to wear a mask. Ok it's a chest infection but people are going to assume the worst. Plus klopp only has her word it's a chest infection

People in our workforce are wearing masks if they are feeling great.

A German with a sense of humour you say.

Also, just because she has a chest infection doesn't mean she isn't carrying other bugs. Anyone coughing around me is going to get a very nasty look and a step back regardless.

I presume it was the BBC shoving a mike in his face and not the other way around, he was a lot more polite than I would have been. The BBC being unprofessional, who'd have thunked it.

No that’s not how post match media works.

The journalists set up their little interview area, then the players and managers walk through and they go live to the interview when everyone is ready to go.

Just you desperately trying to cram in some anti-BBC shite into a situation that didn’t warrant it, “who’d have thunked it”

 

[Milesvk]

If he is that concerned about germs being spread maybe he should have thought about that when he shoved his face into the linesman screaming at him at the anfield game!

They sent someone who was obviously ill into a room full of people, just you defending the BBC for some strange reason. Or do you think it's normal (especially nowadays) to knowingly send someone sniffing and coughing away, to do an interview?
