You're on a Manc board so you have to learn to just deal with this stuff.So are you saying Rodgers cannot be a bit abrupt with the media/journalists - but Ferguson and Mourinho can?
What?

This is drama queen crap you expect to see on rawk. It's really not a big deal. The fault lies with the interviewer not Rodgers. Any reporter should know that you might be getting a unpleasant response when you ask about uncompleted transfers and its best to not ask as 9/10 you are going to get dismissed.*sigh* Liverpool supporters will defend Rodgers over any old shit.
Again if you don't want to discuss transfers (and technically that's the wrong term but hey you said it)...then you say "Sorry I can't talk about other club's players" or something to that effect.
He lied and made her out to be clueless. He was a knob. End of fecking story.
Yes its well known that Rodgers is a dodgy manager and a bit of a weird person but criticising him over silly stuff like the interview is just pettyThat's because they both have something he doesn't: credibility.
I don't even dislike Rodgers that much, but the guy brings it on himself. The inspirational quotes, the names in the envelop, the condescension after they finished second and we finished seventh, etc. He makes you want to laugh at him whereas with other managers you probably wouldn't care.Yes its well known that Rodgers is a dodgy manager and a bit of a weird person but criticising him over silly stuff like the interview is just petty
I know and I do - but it helps me feel better if I respond to things now & againYou're on a Manc board so you have to learn to just deal with this stuff.
Forget the shower, keep it up - you doing great!criticising him over silly stuff like the interview is just petty
Why am I defending Rodgers...time for a shower
I've seen years of sly Wenger paedo jokes. You just ignore it.I know and I do - but it helps me feel better if I respond to things now & again
I've laughed at him for all that stuff. But people are now forcing the laughter with the interview stuff. Rodgers provides enough ammunition to laugh at him for genuine reasons so why go to rawk level of criticismI don't even dislike Rodgers that much, but the guy brings it on himself.

Might expect it. He's still a dick for doing it. So was Ferguson when he did it. So is Mourinho when he does it. I do fundamentally disagree that she did anything wrong and it's irrelevant who the manager is. It was awkward and he could do with a bit of fecking humility to be honest.This is drama queen crap you expect to see on rawk. It's really not a big deal.

"Technically wrong term"....come on
So was Demento LOLRodgers is a knob and so is Arsene and Mourinho.
Lol
Banter. lulz.So was Demento LOL
Tbf, they get away with it because they're successful and hugely respected. That might not be particularly fair, but it's the way it is.So are you saying Rodgers cannot be a bit abrupt with the media/journalists - but Ferguson and Mourinho can?
What?
Ok fair enough. I wouldn't consider someone to be a knob for responding in that way but that's just down to individual opinion. I think the woman was a bit stupid to try and get an answer the second time when she had already been shot down thoughMight expect it. He's still a dick for doing it. So was Ferguson when he did it. So is Mourinho when he does it. I do fundamentally disagree that she did anything wrong and it's irrelevant who the manager is.

Or are we treating Rodgers differently? It was a video posted in this thread and I had my say. Some disagreed. I agree, it's not a big deal and why you think it is just because I spent 60 seconds typing out a response is beyond me.
That's a load of crap. Journos should be treated like shit because most of them are.Tbf, they get away with it because they're successful and hugely respected. That might not be particularly fair, but it's the way it is.
Rodgers is a nobody who has achieved nothing in the game.
Given his ego, he probably thought to himself 'I was a bit like Fergie there'.
I do actually agree with that.That's a load of crap. Journos should be treated like shit because most of them are.
Oh shut up...Ferguson was a cnut to the press in the 80's when he'd won feck-all with Man Utd. Was that cringey?That's exactly it. Rodger's self-regard outstrips his worth at this point. Win a title or two and you can be up there with the arsiest. Until then, stop putting on Fergie and Mourinho costumes, you're making yourself a laughing stock. The key to all of this is in the name he's been given in the thread title. It's wonderful David Brent stuff, and far from bothering me (or most of his critics, I'm sure), it's hilarious.
Depends given his record at Aberdeen :POh shut up...Ferguson was a cnut to the press in the 80's when he'd won feck-all with Man Utd. Was that cringey?
Grinner watched him then too. He was a wanker.Depends given his record at Aberdeen :P
Nobody cared about Jockball then and nobody cares now.Depends given his record at Aberdeen :P
At the risk of this becoming an all out irony-off I think we should leave it at that...I didn't "fail to see" the irony, but the extra layer of irony you laughably failed to see yourself is that this is a United website. And we don't like your club or your insufferable manager. What's hard to understand about that?
what utter nonsense. Practically every conference a manger gives this time of year is batting off questions about rumoured signingsThis is drama queen crap you expect to see on rawk.

And most of the time it is dismissed by the managers? What is your point. He gave a stern response back as he didn't want to discuss it...not a big dealwhat utter nonsense. Practically every conference a manger gives this time of year is batting off questions about rumoured signings
I look forward to Wenger's final press conference, when he'll calmly step down from the microphone, pull a 9 iron from his trouser leg and proceed to beat Adrian Durham's skull into a mealy pulp.That's a load of crap. Journos should be treated like shit because most of them are.
Nope. He'd already won more at that point than Rodgers has now.Oh shut up...Ferguson was a cnut to the press in the 80's when he'd won feck-all with Man Utd. Was that cringey?
I'm game.At the risk of this becoming an all out irony-off I think we should leave it at that...
Oi, Scottish football has many redeeming qualities. You can get a pie and a cup of tea for under £3 and... and... okay, fine, jockball is sucks.Nobody cared about Jockball then and nobody cares now.
Would be sad if that happened. Just another interesting character thrown out with the trash. If nothing else, he makes things interesting, like Mou. Would've been interesting to have gotten the Mou puppet talk to a Brentan puppet.He's favourite with most bookies to be the first PL manager to get the sack. I suppose with last season, their opening fixtures and the money he's spent it's hardly surprising.
Sacked by October. I'd say a very good chance....
Oh you.Would be sad if that happened. Just another interesting character thrown out with the trash. If nothing else, he makes things interesting, like Mou. Would've been interesting to have gotten the Mou puppet talk to a Brentan puppet.
I don't know where to begin in disagreeing with this. Rodgers is not interesting - the management-speak he is famous for is him going out of his way to be uninteresting.Would be sad if that happened. Just another interesting character thrown out with the trash. If nothing else, he makes things interesting, like Mou. Would've been interesting to have gotten the Mou puppet talk to a Brentan puppet.
RacistStevie G will be the next LFC manager. Carra as assistant and Glen Johnson as doorman.
You heard it here first.
Rodgers is like...a big jam doughnut with cream on the top.
No way he would get the doorman job, he would leave it wide open all the time just like he used to on the right side of our defence.Stevie G will be the next LFC manager. Carra as assistant and Glen Johnson as doorman.
You heard it here first.
So racism is now fine.......Oi, Scottish football has many redeeming qualities. You can get a pie and a cup of tea for under £3 and... and... okay, fine, jockball is sucks.
