Proud of the lads, and perhaps another lesson to people writing the team off on the basis of the line up.
What is so obvious though is the orchestrated efforts of sections of pundits and media. Last week we had them queuing up to tell us that the drop ball decision led to our winner. This week the line for the hard of thinking is that it wasn’t a pen. Anyone in the media who just repeats what they’re told deserves our complete contempt.
However much I enjoyed the piss boiling our late winner caused, my problem with media noise and agendas is how they can affect future decisions. In a game that’s properly run and governed, this shouldn’t be an issue. But this is the premier league, PGMOL, sky era and these things matter. I genuinely think, there’s an argument that Atwell, having seen the manufactured shitstorm last week, over what was really a non incident, didn’t want to be part of a huge, game or even season defining decision. Less fall out over a non decision. Easier to have something against Liverpool than for them. No need to worry, if it’s against them, it’ll blow over in a day or so, but if it’s for them……..welll I saw what happened to my mate Paul last week.
The whole fucking thing stinks, and some of the pricks that drive the agendas, need calling out and their weekly flip flops on the LOTG need highlighting. As someone else said, it’s funny how they go from experts in the minutiae of te drop ball rules one week, to complete ignorance of what constitutes a foul the next.
