S.S,being an old b.stard like me,you should never be suprised at the sh!te written about our club in the press.Even when we were winning everything before us,we never got the acolades we deserved.Its not just the hacks of Fleet St.that are guilty,just look at the so called pundits on any channel.These pundits are usually ex pros who would have won more medals if they had joined the army.
The most succsessful manager in British football,Bob Paisley, was overlooked when it came to giving out Knighthoods.
If Bob had managed one of the London clubs,or Man Utd God forbid Iam sure his succsesses would not have been ignored by the powers that be.
Over the years this is something we have gotten used to,the Steven Gerrard saga took up more column inches than our European Cup win.Robbie Fowler was plagued with malicious stories in the press for years.During our darkest hours and in its aftermath[Hillsbourgh]the supporters of this club were hung drawn and quatered,not only by the press but by people who new the facts,and chose to ignore them.
Anybody reading this may say stereotypical whinging scouser,f.ck em Iam not bothered by any of it now.I hardly ever buy a Sunday paper nowadays they are rubbish from cover to cover.I agree with Supersub Chris Bascombe in the Liverpool Echo tells it like it is.As a local reporter I suppose he is open to accusations of local bias,what if he is its about time someone had a good word for us in the papers.
