Modern life and social media for you. Anyone can post absolute crap and it gains wings and becomes fact. I do actually believe the viewing figures were in our favour but as you say who actually gives a shit? I was at the game and that's all I cared about. As Tyler used to say, "It's liiiiiiiiiive!" And it certainly was.

Largely canceled. I have to divorce him from Liverpool and the surrounding brouhaha and see him as the individual.It actually doesn’t, it evidences that nobody likes the ****, that’s a long way from giving a flying fuck about him.. !
He’s a detestable **** who was cancelled by our team and our manager …
I always found him quite an interesting and thoughtful person, especially when talking about football and indeed life, particularly when he was at Dortmund.
On the pitch, he produced wonderful teams at Dortmund and some very good teams at Liverpool, too. I don’t think his style of football could ever be sustained over multiple seasons, however, but we enjoyed thrilling spectacles when our two styles clashed. I also think Guardiola thrived having him as a sparring partner.

I can’t disagree with anything you are saying mate, I just think he could have handled himself better and not made such a **** of himself all the time ..Largely canceled. I have to divorce him from Liverpool and the surrounding brouhaha and see him as the individual.

Many many years ago we had a load of itinerant scousers down here working on the Channel Tunnel. One night a few of us were in The Swan pub and someone happened to mention a mutual acquaintance who had done really well for himself. This chap had left school with no qualifications, no apparent skills or talent, but started off with an old barrow collecting scrap metal. Within a couple of years he had passed his driving test and bought an old Transit van.
When he had saved enough he paid the deposit on a fairly run down bungalow and did the entire renovations himself: bricklaying, plastering, all the electrics, etc. He made a monumental profit when he sold his bungalow and he moved on to bigger and better things. The guy is now a millionaire and owns property all over Kent.
We were discussing this one night, and we were all full of praise for the man. "Fair play. He's grafted all his life." That sort of thing.
One of the scousers happened to overhear us praising this enterprising, hard-working guy, and he called out: "Yeah? But I'll bet I could take his fucking eyes out with me knife!"
It showed the mentality of the man.

How good would it be if he goes on to manage some other European club, who then meet Liverpool in CL semi final or final and beats them and knocks them out.I can’t disagree with anything you are saying mate, I just think he could have handled himself better and not made such a **** of himself all the time ..
Not sure how the scousers would handle that one?

He would defo go up massively in my estimation if that happened .. As long as we beat the twat in the final :-)How good would it be if he goes on to manage some other European club, who then meet Liverpool in CL semi final or final and beats them and knocks them out.

I lived in Kent from 1987 until 1992 at the peak of the channel tunnel building. It certainly was an interesting time with the huge influx of workers from all over the country.
Some mad stories. Most of the Paddys didn't bother with application forms or job interviews. They turned up, got digs, went into the local boozer and got talking to other Paddies and they got them on site. True story.

The BBC is going completely OTT over Littlewoods' Ben Doak, who has been called up to the provisional Scotland squad,
They called him the "Scottish shrek", which will put an absolutely ridiculous amount of pressure on the young lad
It’s completely unnecessary, IMHO.

2 league appearances for Celtic and 3 for the scousers and he's got into the national side?

Well, he’s in the provisional squad.2 league appearances for Celtic and 3 for the scousers and he's got into the national side?
Let’s face it, Scotland doesn’t have the depth of talent that other countries do.
