Parry said in a statement released this afternoon, "I remain focused on the job of serving Liverpool Football Club". Just replace Liverpool Football Club with "my own self interest and £600K plus per annum" and it would be about right. Surely Moores self interest was at fault too when him and Parry sold us down the river, shamelessly promoting the Yank "LFC custodians" as saviours. I hope our Life President is happy with his lot after U turning on the original DIC deal, after listening to the money (netting him £8m extra apparently) , Parry's self interest (in keeping his rather nice job) and believing the Yank custodian bulls*** span out... Too late now anyway.... Ultimately it will be all of us that will end up picking the tab once the Yank brinksmanship works and the inevitable DIC ransom is paid.....

PRAISE THE LORD... HOW OVERDUE IS A STATEMENT LIKE THIS?! 'Accountability exists and we do expect referees to get big decisions correct' Staff and agencies Monday August 20, 2007 Guardian Unlimited Styles waves away Steve Finnan's protest. Photograph: Michael Regan/Action Images Referees' chief Keith Hackett has confirmed that Rob Styles will not officiate in next weekend's Premier League matches after his performance in the game between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield yesterday. Styles controversially awarded Chelsea a penalty which enabled the Blues to equalise after Fernando Torres's opener, before causing confusion by brandishing a yellow card at Michael Essien - who had already been received one yellow - but insisting it was John Terry being booked. "Accountability exists and we do expect referees to get big decisions correct," said Hackett, the general manager of Professional Game Match Officials Limited. "On this occasion it was wrong and therefore Rob will not be officiating next weekend." Hackett also revealed assistant referee Ian Gosling will be given next weekend off, after he denied Fulham a late goal at home to Middlesbrough when David Healy clearly forced the ball over the line. He even apologised to the Liverpool and Fulham managers Rafael Benítez and Lawrie Sanchez. "I spoke to Rob [styles] this morning and obviously he is extremely disappointed with the decision and admitted he got it wrong," said Hackett. "I have left a message with Rafael Benítez to apologise. "Having looked at a video and seen a better angle and a better view, clearly he now recognises that he got it wrong and he's deeply apologetic for that. I think, in fact, he too will be making contact with Liverpool in order to offer his apologies." Asked about the confusion when Essien appeared to be booked for a second time, Hackett said: "I'm informed by both the fourth official and Rob he retained the card shown to John Terry then held the card to indicate a direct free-kick, and failed to put the card away. So it was a basic, if you like, admin error as against an error in application of law. We'll look at the video to ensure we don't get a repeat of that." Hackett also confirmed Gosling, who wrongly ruled that the Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer prevented Healy's effort from crossing the line, will also be without a game this weekend. "Clearly the assistant referee has made an error, so he won't be operating next week for us either," he said.

Can't believe they are putting me and the other ticketless travellers though this again!! What a fu*king joke this whole thing has been... anyway.....RING PHONE RING !!!!!

Cobs mate, UEFA have always been absolute cu*ts.... I am more surprised with the club itself carving up the ballot to sort the corporate glory hunters out first and then have fun playing lottery with everyone else whether they are travelling or not. Yes some people will always miss out but why should it be fans like me with 37 games under their belt this season. I know its been done to death but people with 6 games (16% of my total!!) have got tickets over the likes of me. Frankly this is completely out of order.... How can it be justified?

0 out of 2.... Just counted and I have been to a total of 37 games this season home and away. Absolutely f*cking gutted. This cannot be right..... On the plane though so at least will be able to top up tan.... Mind due knowing my luck it will rain!!

I was on the Kop yesterday, indeed it was hairs on the back of the neck stuff and something I will never forget being a part of. My Gooner mate from work was in Anfield Road and texted me after the six minutes was up to say quite simply "that was fu*king amazing!!" I spoke with him after the game and he and his four mates all were wearing HJC stickers too... The message got through loud and clear and we all should be very proud.....

The man is an absolute cu*t with no grip whatsoever on reality.... Fu*k him.

Of course they are Cobs!! On many occasions I have been bitter enough to complain to the editorial powers that be at our place about anti Liverpool bias!! Especially in that Fiver e-mail we send out!! And as you know my rational independent views as a Liverpool fan often change editorial opinion at The Guardian! Hope you are well my friend anyway!!

Couldn't agree more. This yet another example of football fans being treated like sh*t. If this was a Wales Rugby Union game this would be sorted quicksmart no problem.
