No, he's saying the complete opposite. That people initially felt Liverpool fans were to blame but were shown to be wrong. It was a stupid and crass comparison to make, and an apology was definitely owed, but let's not make it out to be something it isn't.

Yeah he very much made an odd comparison then went on to word it poorly, however i do feel that concerning Hillsborough he meant that in the court of public opinion LFC fans we're very much seen as the Guilty party.

Ah the memories. I used to work in Oldham for a few years. Definitely an odd place. One of the worst parts was the local butty shop. I walked in and ordered my sandwich, the fella turned round and started buttering the roll, stopped and scratched his arse, then carried on. Needless to say I wasn't on the premises when he'd finished making it.

Stalyvegas. What a ****hole

So it would seem.

No ****ing way Malanda.

I've not seen him play much but I always sign him on FIFA and football manager, think he was considered to be actually a pretty decent prospect in real life.

20 ffs. RIP.

Posh chairman in astonishing rant

Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony has launched an astonishing Twitter tirade at his players following Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Colchester.

The Irishman gave 11 reasons why his players had annoyed him during a loss which left Posh 11th in League One.

"Like all fans and our manager, there are many things I have the hump with after today. Care to know them all?" he asked before listing his gripes.

The self-made millionaire started each of the 11 tweets (external) with an expletive.
MacAnthony, who became Peterborough chairman eight years ago, finished with a message to any players who had taken offence.

"Oh and finally," he tweeted. "If any of my players are bit too sensitive to what's been said, feel free to let me know anytime. Or, alternatively, just do your job!"

MacAnthony once described himself as a "rebel who wants to change things in football"

MacAnthony took over from Barry Fry as chairman in 2006

MacAnthony's list of grievances was:
"...that it's always the manager who is held responsible when a team of players fold like a stack of cards when the going gets tough!"
"... that our team can play with that kind of tempo/intensity for first 25 minutes, then follow that up with the 65 minutes we all witnessed!"
"... that a player of Joe Newell's ability can miss an open goal from five yards out early on. He should be scoring 10/15 a season."
"...that a striker I paid half a million for, minutes before Colchester score, scuffs great chance eight yards out with nobody near him."
"... that Bossie allows their top scorer to get in front of him to tap in their first goal, shouldn't happen!"
"... that our centre back runs 50 yards to edge of opposition's box, doesn't pass or shoot but loses ball & they go other end and score."
"... that both our full-backs who had plenty of the ball couldn't deliver any crosses of any merit or quality or with urgency."
"...that we had a ref who cost us Crewe game because of incorrect decision was given us again, then sent manager off and many yellows today!"
"... that as going has got tough many thousands of fans have bit like our players, have folded and taken their ball and gone home!"
"...Tomorrow I'll still pay the bills & next Saturday will pay thousands to watch my team play & hopefully win."
"... that our goalkeeper had three shots to save all game but we conceded two goals!"

I get the impression that he is unhappy

Yeah used to buy him in Fifa14 and Fifa15 after he was on a list a couple of years back as being one of the up and coming young talents in the game.

Turns into a beast of a player in Fifa15.


20 is way too young for anyone to go.

RIP

I doubt the words Oldham and Athletic have ever been used together when describing Dunk.

Hahahhhaahahahaah

Chelsea have sent 30 players on loan this season...John Terry was last academy product from the club

Good points well made.

JH needs to do a bit of that!
