I don't like it as it shows a lack of commitment to the cause and suggests you are in awe of your opposition, why not just wait until after the game? It could be dealt with in house but maybe Rodgers just wanted to make a point that no one is bigger than the club? Maybe he's had words with Mario already? Who knows. Interesting that there are suggestions that it was Pepe that asked Mario for his shirt. Not that it matters either way.
Balo should just bite someone and walk around calling every white guy milkeyway. He will get all the support liverpool can offer that way.
I agree that if this was a beef of Brenda's he really should have kept it in house. It seemed he bought it up because either: a) He is pissed at Mario for his non performance and is trying to scapegoat him or b) He is trying to deflect from the backlash at the result and get everyone talking about the shirt swapping instead of his failures tactically or possibly both. If so it has worked, everyone is talking about the shirt swapping and how bad Balotelli was and not that liverpool got hammered in their own gaff, albeit by one of the best sides on the planet and current European Champions.
Its clear as day rodgers is going to make balotelli tye scapegoat for liverpools 8th place finish. You Can see it coming a mile off.
Not violent or racist though so all good yeh? Seriously, he swapped a shirt. So ****ing what. Players change them anyway at half time. Its not even news amd nor is it even worthy of serious discussion. He got subbed off, punishment enough.
Get off your soapbox ffs, balotelli is playing like a twat so deserves my wrath. All the other crap your posting is childish point scoreing get your head out of your arse.
Its silly, but its not the crime of the century is it?! Its not like he bit someone, slept with an ex team mates girlfriend (which didnt actually happen), or kung fu kicked a spectator in the face.
Ive been nice enough to have the discussion on our board and leave it off yours. Thats as nice as i will be on this one as its a ****ing joke. Mass hysteria from the club who tried to make out a victim of racism was a deceitful liar. Im sorry but the point is relevant considering how youre all losing your **** over some clown swapping his shirt. The fact is reality hit home. You threw 16million away on **** all. Nobody will want to buy him so you will end up stick with him. Rather than just admit it rodgers is going to make him out to be worse than he is in order to shift the blame from him. Almost got away with it too. Almost.
Rodgers isn't making out it was the crime of the century! He was asked a question and made a comment and then said we'd deal with it in house, like the last time our player done it. It's the media going batshit about it.
I know, half the stupid comments managers make are because twat journalist goad them into making them, but he should have just said "its not a matter to discuss with the media" or something vague, instead of basically saying "I hate it when he does that, I'll deal with the little ****!"
If only balotelli was a family man. In his native italy, shirt swapping is a friendly gesture and a compliment.
He bollocked Sakho and Coutinho for doing it against Chelsea when you lost 2-1. Sakho got Eto'o's shirt at half time after Eto'o had beaten him to score Chelsea's winner. Don't open that can of worms again I agree it's not the worst thing to have happened, but a manager airing the club's dirty laundry in public like that is generally never good for the club.
Brenda went wild in the transfer market, buying 8 players for fees in excess of 120 mill, which averages out at 15 mill per player. I did bang on about if for weeks that if you pay crap money, dont expect world class players, yet the super intelligent dippers thought Brenda was a transfer market guru. Some were actually waxing lyrical about one world class player, based on a 20 minute debute against the mighty Preston North End. He was such a world class player I have already forgot his name Last night Real proved how totally inept this squad is, and no doubt the YSB's will be demanding the head of Brenda.
That's the guy Bodanki i!!! Real quality signing, he absolutely roasted Preston North End for 20 mins, burnt himself out, and went off injured. More appropriate name would be Emre Cant.
