Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish called upon his players to maintain their focus ahead of their Premier League game against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 on Tuesday, and asked them to set aside the disappointment of some poor refereeing decisions that went against
them.
The Scott believes that his side were at the receiving end of some erroneous decisions made by the referee in their last three games. He had earlier claimed that the frequency of such incidents, will likely give air to conspiracy theories amongst the fans.
Nevertheless, he urged his side not to get distracted by these reports.

At the same time, the Reds striker Luis Suarez was shown a yellow card for his alleged simulation inside the penalty box, but the replays suggested that the
player was clearly tripped by the Villa defender.
“The last three games blatant decisions have gone against us that are inexcusable.” Dalglish told the Mirror.
The 61 year old aimed criticism at the match officials, and demanded that the referee should at least explain the decisions made at the end of the game, for the purpose of transparency.
“If they explained the decision to us or even if they just held their hands up and said ‘sorry, I got that wrong’ and we could see they have integrity. But they never say anything.” He added.
The Reds will visit Ewood Park on Tuesday, with an aim to end their run of four matches without a win, in the Premier League. The Merseyside team lost three matches on the trot against QPR, Wigan Athletic and Newcastle United, and were held on to 1-1 draw
by Villa on Saturday.
However, Dalglish asked his side not to get affected from the refereeing controversy in the match against Villa, and advised them to move on with their football.
“People might think there is a conspiracy. We can’t believe that, we can’t let it affect us and take it into the games coming up because that would damage us. We have to keep going and make sure it doesn’t affect the players.”
