    The BBC's Liverpool bias



    In 1987-88, the BBC did a Goal of the Season competition just for Liverpool. It's as if they were all Liverpool fans and ex-players! Anyway, after Barcelona's 6-0 dismantling of Malaga at the weekend, you could almost do a Goal of the Season competition based on a single game. (Messi, Alves, Henry, since you didn't ask.)

          No but I have started a thread in feedback as it happens to me too.

              Think it's a setting on the forum software 'cos it's a cross-browser issue.

              As for the BBC the MOTD editor (Niall Sloane?), and I don't know if he still has the job, is a Liverpool fan.

                From the same Guardian article.

                5) If this doesn't move you, you might want to get that pulse checked: four days after Hillsborough, and six minutes into a European Cup semi-final between AC Milan and Real Madrid, the referee stops play for a minute's silence, during which the Milan fans break into a spontaneous chorus of You'll Never Walk Alone.

                    Get Fowler to replace Sherarer on MOTD.

                    Daglish for Lineker while we're at it.
                    If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

                      Was that actually the Goal of the season comp for all the teams in the league or just one for the Liverpool goals?

                          memories! i alwasy remember having a vhs called the Mighty Reds - from that season! there was a bit of commentary that i still remember (don't know if it's the same commentary in in that vid link as i don't have sound) - but it's the aldridge goal against arsenal where mcmahon keeps it in play right on the touch line - it was something like

                          "and mcmahon, keeps it in play.......mcmahon motors away!"


                          loooking at that and thinking back - we have a good squad now, but if we could some how have steve nicol, john barnes, and peter beardsley added to this squad then we would prob be somewhere near to perfect
                          i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

                              I wasn't sure if he went or not.

                              Has he played yet?
