Players allegedly singing “Allez” song

[jrb]

Let’s not split hairs.

Those old enough to remember. Liverpool fans caused absolute havoc across Europe in the 70’s and 80’s attacking opposing fans, locals, robbing, stealing, and doing whatever they wanted to do with impunity when they traveled abroad. It all culminated in the Heysel tragedy. That is the only reason why Liverpool fans stopped their behaviour, as they, along with other English clubs and their fans were banned from Europe. In future years there were endless problems with Liverpool fans in Athens, Instanbul, Basel, etc. A Bulgarian Waiter was nearly killed. Etc. A catalogue of their dreadful behaviour across Europe for decades is out-there, and is a testament to what a horrible and despicable fan base they are.

100% agreed Marv. I feel like on this topic everyone is just taking tribal positions out of defensiveness.

Battered in the streets refers to violence, so it's deliberately ambiguous about Sean Cox.
Victims of it all is a reference to "always the victims" which we all know they will take as a reference to Hillsborough.

We could easily change it and they'd still be upset about us singing that tune. I don't expect it to happen though given the context: it's just turned into a black and white argument.

Fuck em, everything has to suit their narrative, cant havr it both ways...

Page 97 = lock

97 points

You scouse ****s

 

[StMark's]

97 pages. Just noticed two Lancs batsmen have been dismissed for 97 in their match against Northants. Very respectful of them.

 

[paulchapo]

They fucking hate us...end of. This will never change.

They always have mate. I remember the 70's and battles royal with them scrapping all over the place. One game springs to mind at Maine Road when Rodney Marsh scored, I think we won 2-0 and it was kicking off everywhere. There was that open bit between the North Stand and Kippax and a group of them were in there shielded by coppers with batons drawn trying to defend them. It only died off a bit when we weren't a threat.

They're lucky everyone's too scared to mention Heysel and them getting clubs banned for five years, it has been airbrushed away

yeah...the streets outside Maine Road when we played them were fucking mayhem. Lloyd St, Claremont Road...and their mass walk back to town. Oxford Road mayhem.

Yet some blues wonder why we hate them........I've hated the ****s more than Utd for years

 

[blingy]

It's a shit tune, the words are shit, it's got fuck all to do with City apart from 'Sterling won the double', and it makes us as a group of supporters look like a bit of a bunch of twats. I just don't really hate Liverpool that much because like most sane people I don't get obsessed with stuff on Twitter and the troll websites and I prefer to channel my hatred towards Man United. How's that for ya?

More important question...what's so fucking good about it!? Hmm?

You say most sane ppl, but you are a dying breed.. the young folk of today are all about social media so let them fight this war the way they see fit , it is the future , ignore it as a club and fan base and we will be left behind .

And what’s so good about it ??
It pisses the dippers off fir sure ... -)

 

[Bradley82]

F*ck the scousers, two seasons back they were throwing piss over the segregation gates in the south stand. Nearly hit my missus on the way out after the game. As far as I'm concerned they are a bunch of perma-offended tossers always bleating and obsessed with former glory.

Same when we went there, pretty terrifying at times. With the scousers it was across the board, old grannies and men not just youths hated us. Not forgetting Merseyside's finest, their so called police force.

yeah...telling you if you get sliced it's your own fault for coming

Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you.

 

[Metalartin]

Think this is a good page to lock the thread and declare Liverpool defeated, in their plans to spread faux outrage on this.

They did as little as possible to stop it, as you say saying you shouldn't have come, or just plain fuck off.

Lol.
Should have been locked at Page 97.
;)

 

[blue b4 the moon]

If only they'd had this many points....& a better goal difference.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Which players?

From that video I can hear a handful of people singing the opening lines.

When the line about Sterling kicks in I can hear a few more joining in but still can't identify any players.

Then the Allez bit starts and I can see Gundo, Sandler and Poveda banging the overhead luggage compartments but don't appear to be chanting.

I can also identify Laporte and Muric but as far as I can see they are not involved.

Exactly what I saw and heard on that clip . It’s been blown out of proportion from the losers .

 

[york away to this!]

Surely the words sung on the team 'plane were "bartered on the streets"?

Nothing more than a cheeky doff of the cap to the decades of successful European away days enjoyed by our scouse chums. They would visit local shops and try to negotiate an appropriate (though fair) discount, off the souvenirs they were interested in taking back to their loving families.

"Vicks - tins of it all" is of course a reference to the vapour-rub that all sensible travellers keep with them when exploring foreign lands.

 

[Skip Donoghue]

I think that's stretching it, battered in the streets is glorifying violent behaviour, victims of it all. "All" is all.

I know city fans are just fed up to the back teeth of Liverpool and the media's love in with them. I know that when people sing it Hillsborough and Sean Cox is not in their minds at all. It's just anti-Liverpool and stems from seasons rivalry and their own behaviour over time, but nevertheless if you ask me what I think of the meaning of the lyrics, I don't like them, and I am disappointed that you seek to justify them.

We should keep the essence of the song, and change a few words. I hate the reporting of this as much any City fan but we should still behave respectfully and properly.

It's a little ditty sung by us to poke fun at the scousers. there is no malice intended from it it will be sung again and it will be sang loudly
You seem to be trying to make more of it than it is and I don't think anyone is trying to justify anything by defending the singing of the ditty.
I recon some souls are more sensitive to such things than others and I think you are high on the sensitivity scale with this one
Where as others arent

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Little song to kick off to the tune of their favourite "yellow submarine"

"Bricked our bus, then we beat you to the league/beat you to the league/beat you to the league".

Simple, repetitive and will leave no doubt what utter dirtbags they are.

 

[The blue phantom]

Yes, we’ve sung it, but I don’t remember it being sung like this?

We have. But we havnt lost 96 fans, shouldn't be an excuse that but you'd think they'd know better.

I mean how the fuck can these feral fuckers go on about that song while hundreds if not thousands are singing their hearts out to Munich.

Two face hypocritical wankstains.
