Kenny Dalglish has admitted that match officials are sometimes influenced by the ones who shout the loudest on the pitch
Kenny Dalglish has been preparing his team ahead of Manchester United's visit to Anfield tonight but he somehow rather found time to admit that sometimes you have to shout to win decisions on the field.

The Liverpool manager said: "There has been a theme about referees for most of this week. When I came back in we were made aware of the Respect campaign that is there to help referees and which, obviously, we have adhered to. We have never come out and criticized the referees after games. It is difficult for them not to make mistakes but if we are going to respect the campaign and we are the ones adhering to it, then I just hope that we are not the ones who are suffering.

"Sometimes you think that the ones who shout loudest are the ones who get the more beneficial decisions and that would be totally unfair. We will respect the campaign as long as we think that we won't be suffering in any way, shape or form.

"Right at this particular moment in time I cannot say that it is particularly true that we haven't suffered. We will try our best to maintain our dignity and respect for referees but we would also like to think they would show us respect for going along with the guidelines of the campaign."

However, Kenny also admitted that the officials have had their fair share of bad treatment as well.

"We had an incident at Wolves where the lady official [Sian Massey] gave a decision that proved to be correct and she was left out of games thereafter. Why? She did nothing wrong. Now somebody was publicized during the week there, without mentioning any particular incident, and what happens to them? They just continue."
