Everyone on here knows my position on the authorities (football and general), referees, the media, and indeed regarding this country.
I believe there is a deep rooted bias and prejudice in all of the aforementioned towards Liverpool as a city, and in particular towards LFC.
I believe this goes further here than one sees in other countries, and for me it is what singles out this country as one of the vilest places on the planet.
The country is Manchester and London focused, and the nonentity places like the Midlands join in.
Whilst this is mostly bias, prejudice and jealousy based, in some cases there is corruption at play, with some referees almost certainly on the payroll of benefactor owned clubs.
Whilst the general hysteria in the spring about the prospect of us winning the league, and the clamour for the season to be cancelled, was one thing, that Klopp stood up for a noble cause, like career wrecking schedules, and yet is targeted in this way, is more of an indication of what I have cited. This is because one can understand the vested interest of the spring, but not adversion to someone calling out the broader implications of this ridiculous schedule on top clubs and player welfare. Unless of course there is a bigger issue for those who would back him if he said this if he was manager of another club, that being to try and get him out of LFC.
Call me paranoid, but we suffer from poor refereeing and inconsistent VAR. Even if the decisions yesterday were technically correct, we are always penalised for exact same incidents that others (like United) are not.
This is made possible because traitors like Carragher and McManaman, and the media more generally, back decisions in our case, but overlook VAR and refereeing mistakes made in United, City and London club matches (or certainly don’t go on about them to the same extent as when we occasionally benefit).
IMO the TV companies deliberately manage our schedule to disadvantage us and - in my opinion - are trying to cause injury to our players to disadvantage us.
Above all, they are trying to get Klopp to become so pissed off that he will walk.
Our club may happen to participate in a corrupt sport in a corrupt country populated by large swathes of utter wankers, but I do hope that Klopp realises why this is happening, and stays with us to fight it.
