No-one likes us, we don't care

I don't recall him saying anything particularly negative/astute about Hodgson until he was sacked.

That was what was quite refreshing. I guess he realised sooner than others than KK was actually a good appointment for LFC, and that the blame didn't just rest on the players or Rafa.

I used to listen to Green a lot on 5 Live when I was a kid and before the days of Sky TV. I thought he and Jimmy Armfield, flawed they might have been, were highly entertaining as regards to live radio commentaries.

In Mauritius?

Fully agree. Greene has been a right pain to listen to for the last 2 years.

Even with his rich Irish barritone..?

There's only so many times he can say the word 'shocking' before you want to punch the radio.

Sure, compared to other pundits and commentators maybe. But he's also a Liverpool fan and 90% of us had been saying the same for months.

And for the last week or two of Hodgson, even people in the media were starting to say his time was up.

But it doesn't matter when a sinner repents so long as they do.

Yep, on medium wave if I can recall, quality wasn't really good but it contributed to the charm.

[Charly]

IS there anyone in the media you lot do like?

Alan Green is great. Just because you are anti Rafa doesnt make you pro Hodgeson, or vice versa. Rafa was ****e during his last season, and Green called him on that, which is his job.

Yeah true. That piece above may have been an epiphany (did I spell that correctly this time?) on how the media feed off each other, and maybe he actually did a bit of his own research on what actual fans were thinking.

He didn't like Roy being sacked at the time. He thought he should have had more time. The Wolves game was the first time I'd heard him actually talk some truth about how 'negative' Hodgson was.

Anyway, as you say. As long as he repents, and finds another word other than 'shocking'....

Spoony, Murray, Dion Fanning, Martin Keown. Yeah a few.

You're leaping to conclusions again.

I said I got fed up listening to the man moaning about how crap the football is. I didn't say he was talking about Liverpool because he says it about lots of matches.

It's not about his attitude to Benitez. Sky's hyping up of games is pathetic but Green goes to the opposite extreme.

[Rudo]

Would prefer it if they hated us passionately if we were winning trophies or at least challenging for them...we could shut them up but when we're struggling it's a blimin nightmare.

[Paul12]

The anti-LFC feeling amongst the media and football fans in England IS very strong. My impression has always been that, although we thought Rafa was a god, most other people thought he was very arrogant and that is the source of a huge amount of the badwill. Badwill is costly ultimately, and was a contributing factor in my acceptance of Rafa's departure (though not a major factor because to some extent I like the us against the world feeling).

I think the media is actually pretty positive towards Kenny. I also think there is little long-term pro-Hodgson feeling that improved results will not soon silence.

[BillobShaisley]

Heysel didn't help, whatever the mitigating circumstances, a lot of clubs blame us for not playing in europe and the media probably followed suit with less big events to report on.

Green is a very black and white, opinionated commentator I find him difficult to listen to these days. I used to love him but these days he really grates. He can be made slightly more acceptable by being paired with Graham Taylor sometimes.

At some point he tipped over into self-parody. I don't mind people saying what they think but we all have to allow room for doubt, especially when one's credentials as a judge are less than complete.

Of course that doesn't just apply to Green.
