Kenny Dalglish Liverpool NewsKenny Dalglish is on a collision course with the FA ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final with Everton at Wembley.

Questions are increasingly being asked of what direction Dalglish is taking Liverpool in despite lifting the Carling Cup earlier this year.

Last night’s 3-2 win at Blackburn last night was only the second win in eight Premiership matches with the Anfield boss openly questioning the integrity of referees.

Previewing the Blackburn match he said: “The last three games there are blatant decisions that have gone against us that are, frankly, inexcusable, and I’d say unexplainable as well.

“I won’t raise it with the Referees’ Association, I’ve raised it now, and it’s up to them. I think it really should be their concern. I’ve raised it, and it’s up to them now to look at it.

“To not get a penalty because an opponent is unlucky, surely that’s not my concern, but the concern of the Referees’ Association because they have got to look at something like that.

“I am stating a fact. If they have something like that, a decision that isn’t given that is so blatantly wrong – as we have felt in our last three games – then surely it is their problem, not mine.”

Dalglish added: “I know where we are coming from. I know we have integrity, I know we have integrity in bucketloads, but I can’t speak for other people and whether they have integrity.

“What we have to do now, is ensure this football club maintains its integrity, that the players keep their integrity, and hope that people elsewhere have some integrity too.

“They [referees] have to look at themselves and ensure they are seen to have integrity.”

    The refs are no good at their jobs or sticking together to prove a point both are wrong and need somebody to come down hard on them hard.

    We have got the top idiot ref on Saturday Webb everybody nows he is a man u fan and has always reffed their games with a biased style of reffing you cant play 12 men week in week out we need to have refs who are fair we dont want any favours just good fair reffing i dont think that should be to much to ask.

    Forget about Fergies opinion on Suarez and judge him on what happens on the pitch not decide before the game starts as Fergie doesnt make the rules yet the refs seem to hang on his every word he wants to look at young if he wants to see a player who dives week in week out.
