Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[KnaresboroughBlue]

How fucking thick is everyone connected to that football club? I can explain it point-by-point from my living room.

Liverpool fans turned up without tickets or with fake tickets.
They were refused entry so stormed the gates and turnstiles.
This meant all gates and turnstiles were closed to the rest of the Liverpool fans outside.
Some of them took it upon themselves to climb over gates and walls to get in (here are videos ALL-FUCKING-OVER showing scenes of this happening) which caused the authorities to disperses the crowd with tear gas.
You can see by the swell of fans in the Liverpool end on tier one just how many fans had got in and just plonked themselves in that tier. The aisles were chock-a-block, while the upper tiers had empty seats.

And low and behold the French authorities and UEFA have confirmed this is what happened. Yet our fucking media and their cretinous club and disgusting fanbase are deflecting this in every way possible to make sure they don’t get the blame.

That's pretty much the way it's being reported over here and by people who were actually there.

Some wilful "naivety" on the part of the English press. Some pointers.

1) if you haven't got a ticket but intend to jib into the ground, carry a forgery. That way, you get through any outer checks and to the actual turnstyle before being turned away.

2) Turn up late in the hope that the rush to get in will lead to laxer security (and see 3 below)

3) Turn up late and en masse so that the pressure on security leads to fears of impending disaster outside the ground and the gates might be thrown open for crowd-safety reasons. There is also zero chance of you being arrested for trying to jib in as part of a mob.

4) when your ticket is rejected you can claim to have paid £1,000 for it thus a) attaining victim status and b) you might be admitted out of sympathy.

The French police may have been heavy-handed and some innocents may have been caught up in it, that's an inevitable consequence of disorderly behaviour, but if anyone thinks that an attempt to reason with feral fans intent on storming the ground would have worked, they are sadly mistaken.

Loads of pepper before the game, plenty of salt after it.

Having a parade with no League title or European cup to show off is also not appropriate.

Not just any parade, it’s being called a ‘Victory Parade’.

That particular definition must only apply when you’ve drawn two finals, lost on the much bigger occasion (after failing to score for a third time) and failed in your primary objective of winning the league for the 31st time in 32 attempts.

Think there are a lot of elements at play here, but I will say there is a big section of society who since the pandemic ended have become pretty lawless at these big events....

As others have said, I'm somewhat relieved we didn't get there and that fellow blues didn't get caught up in this crap.

Klopp encouraging supporters without tickets to go to Paris was idiotic though. Not sure if he's just naive or just doesn't care.

I see they have converted Peoffrey

Are they his new 4th team? Hereford, Swansea and Malaga...
