Liverpool boss rafael Benitez faces a touchline ban after being charged with improper conduct by the FA,this is because Rafa tapped his glasses as he spoke about referee Phil Dowd after losing to Spurs earlier in the season.
Now far be it for me to stick up for anyone remotely concerned with the Scousers let alone their manager but I have to say this is ridiculous, it’s getting so that soon managers or players for that matter wont be able to open their mouths at all.
Last time I bothered to check this was still a free Country (only just) and free speech was still tolerated, The FA are making themselves look ridiculous and petty if they follow through with this charge.
One of the great things about football is that every game has a talking point an incident or two in a game that friends and work colleagues can argue and debate Monday morning, we all have our own opinions and different takes on how we see incidents in a match, why should managers not be afforded the same right to discuss and argue their points to.
So I hope the FA reconsider and drop this, Liverpool have enough problems this season on the pitch without outside interference, when they drop out of the top four this season I don’t want them to have anything they can blame except their own shortcomings.
Incidentally this will be the only time I ever stick up for the whinging Scousers.
