I am fairly neutral about Liverpool, but my son supports them so I like them to do well for him. To me the video didn’t show someone with an anti Liverpool bias, it showed a video of someone who didn’t like Klopp. There is a few key points here.
1. It is perfectly possible a referee can not like a manager or a player without being biased against their team. I guarantee referees throughout history have thought managers were c**** without showing bias when they refereed the games.
2. I am an NHS community worker and there have been some patients and carers I have worked with which may fit the c*** description. Doesn’t impact on the care they get because I like to think I am professional.
3. I liked Klopp when he started but I think in later years he met that C*** criteria many times with his regular moaning. I personally think sanctions need to be tougher against managers in these cases.
4. To me this is not evidence of bias but lack of professionalism and stupidity. On this basis he deserves punishment, if Liverpool has evidence of bias then I think they need to submit it to authorities.
Festivals have and always will try to predict the next hottest band/artist and try to throw them at the top of a bill quickly, just to catch them on their rise.
It seems though over the last few years these festivals are getting burned by picking artists that seem to be taking off, only for them to release 1 song and do nothing.
Is there data showing a declining rate of acts getting a higher spot early in their career, that actually take off properly alà Arctic Monkeys, compared to the likes of Megan the Stallion, Glass Animals and Polo G of recent memory.
