A newsy day in England, brought to you by Twitter

Well this certainly is a newsy day in the land of football, fish and chips. England, that is.

First came Roy Hodgson’s selections for Euro 2012, and all the talking points on that one. You can bet your favorite footie scarf they’ll be knocking that one around while they knock back a pint at the pubs tonight from Brighton to Birmingham to Blackpool.

Then came the Kenny Dalglish verdict: King Kenny is out at Anfield. Liverpool’s official statement is here.

Yes, over in England, this is what we in the business call a “newsy day.”  Since Twitter makes the world smaller, here’s what we’re all saying about it, here and abroad.

First the roster

RedMancunia ‏ (@RedMancunia):

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Jordan Henderson is on standby for the England squad. Michael Carrick is not.

Stefano Bozzi ‏ (@StefanoBozzi):

And so Rio Ferdinand never played at a European Championship. Not selected 2000, banned 2004, didn’t qualify 2008, not selected 2012.

The Shin Guardian (@shinguardian):

English press making out Michael Carrick to be Pirlo or something. Carrick is a “nice” player, but benefits from boatloads of space at MUFC.

Daily Telegraph’s Paul Hayward (@_PaulHayward):

Here at Wembley we reckon there are 6/7 of the England 23 who aren’t first-team picks at their clubs. Again, shows the lack of depth.

England fan Jack Coleman ‏ (@jackcoleman7):

Andy Carroll. You wouldn’t let him do kick ups in your back garden for fear he’d break something yet he is in the England squad.

Daily Mirror’s David McDonnell (@DiscoMirror):

Also cannot fathom why Terry, G Johnson and Downing are in ahead of Ferdinand, Richards and A Johnson, all of whom offer more.

England fan Sarah Wilson (@hullbird):

I’ll be drunk ( very ) during each England game this summer. It will numb the pain

ESPN’s Adrian Healey (@AdrianHealey):

Only prob with #Eng #Euro2012 squad is omission of Michael Carrick. His passing & vision will be missed. As for French squad..Zut Alors!

Journalist Rob Harris (@RobHarris):

Hodgson: “Are we ever going to get off Rio Ferdinand? … we seem to be discussing one man until the cows come home”

Times writer Oliver Kay (@OliverKayTimes):

Can’t take seriously Hodgson’s “1 game in last yr” explanation for Ferdinand omission. The new captain has played 33 mins for Eng in 19 mths

ESPN’s Adrian Healey (@AdrianHealey):

Don’t often feel too much in common with John Terry, but have similar itinerary for next few days: Travel to Munich, sit down, talk/shout

And then Kenny Dalglish 

The Guardian writer David Conn (@david_conn):

So Kenny Dalglish has gone and as of now, Fenway’s Liverpool have no manager, director of football, head of press, or new stadium plan #lfc

Times writer Oliver Kay (@OliverKayTimes):

Disagree with those suggesting Dalglish appointment disastrous. 5 pts off bottom when he took over. Two steps forward, 1 step back, 1 trophy

Liverpool fan Chris Hudson ‏ (@christwinny):

I’m absolutely gutted that Dalglish has gone because I love the man but unfortunately the time was right, all the best Kenny! Nice one!

Scottish TV announcer and Dalglish’s daughter Kelly Cates (@KellyCates):

Devastated for Dad but incredibly proud of the job he’s done. Thanks for all the lovely messages already. Have a good summer

Fox Soccer Channel’s Bobby McMahon (@BobbySoccerRep):

Expect a period of civil war to erupt within Liverpool fans – verbal and written atrocities certain on both sides.

Broadcaster James Richardson (@acjimbo):

oh my god. they killed Kenny

TV analyst John Bradley ‏ (@JBcommentator):

Kenny Dalglish brought stability to a ship rocking badly, he steadied things and united the club. For that alone fans should be grateful

Liverpool fan Damien Kelly ‏ (@damienk11):

“@LibbyJHarvey: Shame about Kenny Dalglish. Seemed to have the support of the fans and the players,” think that was his prob,2 much of a fan

England journalist Paul Doyle (@Paul_Doyle):

At least they’re showing KD enough respect not to claim it was mutual consent.

The Shin Guardian (@shinguardian):

I’ll take flack but truly believe that Dalglish’s management, tactics held Andy Carroll back. Will be proven right or wrong in ’12-’13

Journalist Rob Harris (@RobHarris):

Liverpool statement on Dalglish wrongly uses word “fulsome” (I think): “John Henry was fulsome in his praise for the outgoing manager”

Liverpool blogger BigRed something-or-other‏ (@BIGREDS_IOLSC):

You Will Never Walk Alone, King Kenny Dalglish! #LFC
