i had to give an award on behalf of the carrickmacross liverpool supportors club. it was a player of the season award. we voted for JAR and i got to meet him at anfield after drawing with villa. he was such a nice guy, answered all our questions, signed lots of autograpgs and posed for lots of photos. but maybe people change i guess
Do you think Dunk will ever change
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.
* After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs
Couldn't agree more. I support the club first and foremost and have always shunned contact with players. You know, approaching them in public etc. I've got mates who have always sniffed around players they've bumped into. I've actually walked away in disgust so I don't have to witness their arselicking. Is it any wonder players act the way they do when such sychophantistic behaviour exists? These pricks deserve everything they got for being so ****ing naive! I think my attitude exists 'cos Sammy Lee once told me and my mate to "**** off" outside the offy on Priory Road when I was about 10 or 11. That was a lesson well learned.
I also remember a tale from years back when a few of the lads from the Flatty/Arkles booked a weeks piss-up in Spain to coincide with a couple of friendlies over there (Osasuna rings a bell) . After a game a Liverpool player approached them and asked them if they fancied going back to LP's hotel for a drink. The player's offer was politely declined and told that they(the lads in question) were not the team's plaything and that they were fine where they were.
lets face it we all want the boys to be lovely lads who chat and sign everything and agree all requests for appearances. In the real world they're mostly a bunch of arseholes [Carra and probably Sami excluded] but hey ho - they play for LFC so we'll hero worship them. Not many fall into Kenny's category, who was a player beyond compare and a man of great dignity who loved his club and the supporters to the point of distraction.
It's where we are so we have to get used to it - I for one would prefer to be where we WERE but it ain't going to happen
'Of course I didn't take my wife to see Rochdale as an anniversary present.
It was her birthday.
Would I have got married during the football season ?
Anyway, it was Rochdale reserves.'
Id hate to waste my sunday night having dinner with a bunch of strange men. Dont blame the lad at all, he doesnt owe anybody anything.
Except a world beating performance sometime soon
absolute bollocks - he owes us everything

Thing is footballers generally cant win. If say Steven Gerrard walked into your pub and bought everyone a bevvie, someone would moan saying "who does he think he is, the flash **** he can **** right off" were as if he didnt buy everyone a bevvie, someone would moan, "The money that ***** on and he doesnt even buy a bevvie".
Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body.
so on that presumption I'm could buy a Doctor Who Video and insit Billy Piper comes to lunch.
JAR is paid to play football not to be a dinner guest although it could explain why we bought Picknik
If current players did do this i'd ask for the united team round for dinner and give em food poisining.
Spot on
Yes as fans we contribute to his wages but we don't own him or have the right to demand he comes to a function and entertain us in his spare time. I'm sure if most people on here had bosses who told us to go round their houses and entertain them on a Saturday night we would tell them to do one. That is unless your a brown nosing,promotion chasing whore of course
the bottom line is that a load of lads visited from his home town and if true that he was contacted then the **** could have made an effort to go and at least say hello. forget about ownership and paying wages the CLASSY thing would of been to at least say hello and see if everything was alright with them, end of.

Classy thing to say hello - there was only one of them there, stalker comes to mind.
Players have to draw the line and going on dinner dates cos your from the same town, when a player is over that line IMO - otherwise we could of all piled over to Spain and got Aldo to take us for tapas.
Players can do all the lunch's etc once they retired or during close season not in the middle of the season, imagine he'd gone for lunch with a load of people who'd been in the boozer all day and something happened and he got injured
Lets also not forget he was getting death threats not long ago from his country.

Recieving such a great acolade would have put him in a good mood.
