Well at least we gave it a go against Man Utd. I am partially glad thoughas we need to focus on keeping the not so mighty rovers in the Championship.

So what do you do when your betting company’s stunt backfires and a man prone to depression feels he has no choice but to resign from the club he loves?

What do you do when a man resigns on realising that eating a pie in the dug-out in the full knowledge that his friends have placed money on him eating a pie in the dug-out has not only landed himself in trouble but embarrassed his club?

What do you do when you have clearly encouraged that man to break betting rules while making him a figure of fun for his weight problems?

Why, you shift the blame, of course. You point the finger elsewhere. You attempt to whip up ‘fan fury’. You make your man feel really bloody special by referring to him twice as ‘roly-poly goalie’ on the front page of your newspaper. And you keep using the word ‘sacked’ because ‘resigned’ would suggest that your man absolutely knew he had made an error of judgement and that you too might be culpable.

As his former manager Paul Doswell reveals on BBC Radio 5 live that Wayne Shaw was “crying” on the phone when resigning from the club and was “very, very sorry about the whole situation”, The Sun were claiming that he was ‘sacked over snack’. Because of course getting sacked over eating a pie is ludicrous, right lads? Lads? Lads lads lads.

If Mediawatch weren’t so disgusted by The Sun’s deliberate obfuscation of the facts, we would be amused by their use of the words ‘novelty bet’ on the front page. Because of course ‘novelty bets’ are placed by ‘novelty gamblers’ who can win or lose ‘novelty money’.

We might also be amused at the idea that ‘hundred of hits’ on a petition to reinstate Shaw (can you reinstate a man who has resigned?) is being cited as evidence that ‘FANS were fuming’. Fans of what? Wayne Shaw? The Sun? Banter? Definitely banter.

The Sun are right to say that Shaw has been ‘HUNG OUT TO PIE’. They’re just wrong about the identity of the executioners.

Raneri sacked! Bit shocked but with the way football is these days; it's not a massive surprise. 


Could be worse.

Could get Coventry's old manager [emoji58]

I missed the game Rich bit it seems it was quite a good game, onwards and upwards for the red devils under Jose eh!

We didn't play great but still came out with the win. Hopefully we can keep going the way we have been, don't think we've lost in our last 17 games in the Premiership.

Liverpool have appointed EA's Peter Moore as CEO http://www.thisisanfield.com/2017/02/liverpool-appoint-former-ea-sports-figurehead-peter-moore-new-ceo/

Liverpool fans will be buying season passes instead of season tickets from now on it seems...

:lol:

Barcelona 6-1 PSG! The biggest comeback in CL history and probably the best ever seen in football. 

3-0 up on the night being 4-0 down on aggregate from the first leg then PSG score with 28 minutes left meaning they needed another 3 goals and with 88 minutes on the clock; Barcelona scored 3 to turn it around. That's almost as big as winning the whole thing and will be just as memorable. Probably give Enrique a new contract now lol!

PSG though - that's such a damaging defeat and I dunno how you can recover from something like that. It was their big chance this year too and they bottled it in shambolic fashion.
