The King Has Lost the Plot

Speaking ahead of Tuesday night's Premier League match with Blackburn, Dalglish continued: "I know we have integrity, I know we have integrity in bucketloads, but I can't speak for other people and whether they have integrity.

"What we have to do now, is ensure this football club maintains its integrity, that the players keep their integrity, and hope that people elsewhere have some integrity too. They [referees] have to look at themselves and ensure they are seen to have integrity." Link to full article


Remind you of anything? Listening to Kenny babble on about how much integrity he has is like listening to Tim Tebow babble on about how many girls he's banged, it just doesn't make sense. How ironic of all people to be talking about integrity is Dalglish, the one who has consistently supported the skidmark of this year's Premier League season, Luis Suarez? The guy has been one of the biggest headlines of the season for all of the wrong reasons yet Dalglish continually supports him. 

And now he believes there is a conspiracy against Liverpool. If there's a conspiracy against Liverpool, there must be a full blown scandal involving Wigan after watching their Chelsea game this past weekend. Both goals seemingly were undisputably offside, yet both goals were given. Perhaps Kenny can get on this case as well because clearly he hasn't been giving Liverpool too much attention. He also seems to have graduated from the Sir Alex School of Entitlement. This is evidenced by his slating of referees in nearly every post game interview as of late. Complaining about missed and or blown calls is about as useful as placing Andy Carroll in your starting XI - They happen to every team throughout the course of the season and you'd like to believe that over time, they even out. Clearly he's just using these calls as an excuse for Liverpool's consistently average performances this year. There's no doubt he would have gotten the sack by now had he not had the illustrious playing career at Anfield that he has as there is no difference between the results that he has put up versus that of Roy Hodgson - and Dalglish has gotten more time and much more investment, regardless of how meaningless it has been (see Carroll, Downing, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam). 

"Bucketloads of integrity", the ramblings of a mad king.
