February 2012 Archives
Sunday 25th February marked the return of Liverpool Football
Club to it's second home - Anfield South, known of course to everyone else as
Wembley Stadium, and what a return it was.
A return, that began, with the match against Exeter back in August.
Now during that game, a magnificent rainbow appeared in the
sky and to those of you who understand the significance of this; it meant even
back then, that the good times were on their way back. The rainbow too many is
a sign of a turn in fortunes - my own reasons for believing in them was the
arrival of my grandson Noah at the end of October 2011.
Football wise of course, it meant that perhaps Liverpool
would bring home their first major trophy in six years. The last one was of course our FA Cup win
against West Ham in 2006 and it had been played at the Millennium stadium in
Cardiff as our second home had been knocked down and was being rebuilt.
Today will I hope go down in the history of
Liverpool Football Club as the day when everyone, suddenly and finally came to
their senses. We have as you all know been embroiled in a situation that from
the moment it happened has turned football supporter against football supporter
because of our differing views about the original incident.
It has also caused the media to be vilified for
simply doing what they do and that is of course to report things as they
happen. Yes they have sometimes got
things wrong, yes they have sometimes used the wrong headlines and the wrong
pictures but that is part and parcel of the job and it will happen no matter
what the subject or what the story is.
What you have to remember is that without the media
whether it be online or in the case of the newspapers in their paper editions,
without them we would not get the news as fast as we do. Today was a prime example of how everyone
works together and gets the news that we have been waiting for since October
into the public domain as soon as possible.
Over the last
three days we have I believe all learnt several very important lessons and one
of them was very humbling indeed.
The first and the
most humbling one is what we have learnt about Craig Bellamy in the last couple
of days. Craig as we all know has a bit
of a reputation on and off the football pitch.
A reputation that time after time has got him into unnecessary
trouble. But like everything else,
sometimes it takes these things to happen in your life before you are either
faced with or run into something that will trigger a change for the better.
Craig was going
through a period in his life where he was between football clubs and a friend
suggested that he visit him in a village called Kono in Sierra Leone. Craig did this and was shocked to see the
poverty and the suffering that was in front of him.
