Crooks is bafflingly shit, but that one criticism is bollocks though. Off the top of my head there was the save from Konate’s shot, the “save” on the mad scramble at the back post from Nunez’s knock back in the first half, and one he pushed wide from Mo later on. It was hardly a case of a keeper standing on his head to keep us out, but he did what was needed of him when called upon.

I think the point of the written article, was to highlight how bizarre the thought pattern is of Garth Crooks, and the manner in which he applies his reasoning…

Sure. It’s always a viable to write every single week. But the piece itself is then very Crooksian in its own bollocks

Who was it who disagreed with me on how awful Peter Drury is? He uses the games as a platform for what he thinks is his wonderful (and cleared pre-planned) narrations rather than commentating on what he’s seeing. It is nauseating.

I miss the Beglin/Drury commentary that I used to get on DAZN. he likes to blither a bit but he’s not terribly biased.

Internet is forever and Shearer should better shut up, people in glass houses and all that. Pathetic

It has created the most discussion for a penalty that didn’t change the outcome of the game and would have been put in if he hadn’t gone down.
Like they may have added to their number of chances but I have my doubts.

Different sport, but Kevin Pietersen is a total pillock.

That Jonathan Liew bloke has just written a totally crap piece on JK in the Guardian.
Why let him write it if he hates us so much?

No need to read it.
He is an absolute bellend who really doesn’t seem to understand the game and consistently writes shite about us while omitting anything negative about cheaty.

If you only want to read nice things about Klopp and Liverpool you should stick to the LFC website.
Jonathan Liew says Liverpool isn’t his club and Klopp isn’t his manager, he writes from a different prospective, noting wrong with that.
Even though I’ve essentially blocked out his existence from my social media, I had to see what the fuss is about when I read your comment. I genuinely don’t remember why I did it in the first place, probably because of something he said about Klopp, but that piece (e.g. “complaining about 12:30h kick-off times when half of England can’t afford heating”) was one of the silliest arguments that could be invented when you don’t have anything bad to say about someone, yet you desperately want to do a hatchet job on that person. Non-Liverpool fans will probably start a petition to make yesterday’s date a national holiday.

Or, for that matter, can’t be bothered to do some simple fact checking. I seem to recall that he also has no idea what socialism is - TBH that seems common with lots of Grauniad journos these days.
