Brendan Rodgers proposes to girlfriend on Times Square, the internet takes the p*ss

Even when he's successful, he's hounded.

Brendan Rodgers can't even be noble. He can't be a good guy and he sure as hell can't even be romantic. Not without the internet ripping the piss out of him anyway. Photographs have emerged of the former Liverpool boss getting down on one knee and proposing to his girlfriend in New York over Valentine's weekend. Fair play, you'd think. In a normal case, sure. But this is no normal case. This is a Brendan Rodgers case. https://twitter.com/Footysays/status/702148906671546369 She even looked happy. https://twitter.com/dipstidz/status/702147300387229696 The timing was outstanding. https://twitter.com/dreamteamfc/status/702108144747597824 Cue: Trolling. Leading by example. That one's not for everyone though. https://twitter.com/Robbie_OR/status/702143757832089600 68 days was an awful long time. https://twitter.com/teandbusquets/status/702139214721261570 PDA levels: Brodge. The one that got away. Cliché? Brendan? https://twitter.com/Truckerpaddy/status/702147466968301573 Don't worry, someone will do it. https://twitter.com/lfcmaestro23/status/702139677218836482 Cliff-hanger. https://twitter.com/MikLFC/status/702139049742569473
