Angry Fans

The Examiner’s football correspondent Liam Mackey likes a good argument when he hears it, and he’s got strong views of his own.

Today, and every Tuesday, he will be acting as referee on your opinions on the Premiership. This week Liam debates the fall-out from the Irish national performance; reminds Rafael Benitez of where his priorities should lie; offers his view of the ref in the Czech Republic game; provides Cork Blue with his regular card — despite agreeing with him; tips four for the Champions League semi-finals; enters the debate about Gay abuse in football; and reckons his granny would make a better striker than Darren Bent of Spurs.

Letter of the week goes to Fergus Kennedy of Dublin for keeping the pot boiling on the club v country clash. Let’s have an address Fergus, and the prize will be in the post.

DID my eyes deceive me, or was that the Liverpool players trying to “mob” an official after a penalty decision was given against them at Fratton Park. Wasn’t it just three weeks ago that Rafael Benitez was complaining about exactly the same thing?
