Liverpool were not even playing yesterday but disgraced pundit Richard Keys still found a way to push bizarre conspiracy theories about the club he hates.
There is no love lost between Liverpool Football Club and dinosaur pundit Richard Keys. The disgraced beIN sports presenter has once again been spewing his hate for the Reds on his Twitter feed.
This time he is questioning the integrity of the Premier League officials and their potential to swing things in Liverpool’s favor in the title race.
During last night’s game between Manchester City and Manchester United he took to social media to question the choice of Scott Ledger as assistant referee for the derby.
I can’t see why anything should go wrong. Officials always call a decision as they see it - but why is Scott Ledger - a Liverpool fan - running the line tonight? Who makes these decisions? Are we short of assistants? Imagine. Just imagine....🤷♂️🤷♂️

The implication is that Ledger is Liverpool fan and will be tempted to give decisions in a way that will help the Reds. Presumably by giving Manchester United biased calls. However there was no controversy as the lino made no disputable decisions.
It is interesting that Keys was so keen to point out a linesperson in a game Liverpool weren’t even playing in but is fine with Manc resident Anthony Taylor reffing the Reds matchup with Man City earlier in the season.
That was some genuine controversy as a ref has a greater ability to shape the course of the game, highlighted by when he failed to issue a red card to Vincent Kompany for a blatant sending off offense.
It wasn’t long ago that Keys was espousing the ridiculous suggestion that Liverpool made a huge error when they signed Virgil van Dijk for £75 million last year.
The defender is set to be announced as PFA Player-of-the-Year today according to leaked reports. It remains a mystery how anyone thinks it is worth paying Richard Keys money for his opinions about football.
