Simple solution to the verminous rats booing the anthem is stop picking any of the victims players for England. Their captain and one or two others would soon change their tune. 95% of the morons have zero idea why they do it, they just join in because the are thick and in a cult nobody wants to be different.

Alternatively my friend, waistcoat should pick as many dipper players as possible that are eligible to play for England then the English fans should boo the fcuk out of every one of them from first whistle to last whenever they touch the ball..


I might even start watching the National team if this was made compulsory..!
 
How this bunch of feral cunts have got a reputation as cheeky scallies is beyond me. They are nothing more than thieving scum and I'd never trust one.

I think it goes back to their history of comedians - Arthur Askey - Doddy - Tarby and so on - and the Beatles - those cheeky scamps - I always preferred Geordies myself, grafters who have a proper sense of humour. As a comparison think the comedy drama Auf Wiedersehen Pet as opposed to Boys from the Blackstuff. In the former Geordie tradies facing hard times got off their arses and went and grafted - in Boys a group of dippers are staying at home its much darker all round as they wander about demanding to be given work...... makes ya think
 
The shop was called the Orchard and it was on Great Western Street.
He loved the people in the area, he always said that the immigrants were the most honest folk you could ever meet, country folk who took pride in the verity of their words - if someone couldn’t afford their weekly shopping, and said that they’d pay him for it before the end of the week, then he knew that they’d do so by Saturday closing or it would override be posted through the door and on the mat when he opened up on Monday morning.
Every week my mam and me walked from Lloyd street to Great Western Street to do the shopping. As well as green grocers there was an egg shop where the owner used have this trick of chucking your eggs one by one in the air and catching them in a paper bag. Not one was ever broken. I bet we went in your grand dads shop.

I’ll ask my old man next time I speak to him. We were on Upper Lloyd St right by Great Western.

I bet we’re about the same age.
It was my dad, not grandad, and his name was Jim. He’ll have known the egg shop owner because everyone knew everybody. There was a real sense of community - in the holidays all the kids just played out all day and everyone knew who they belonged to and kept an eye on them.
He sold all sorts of stuff from the Caribbean, as well as fruit and veg he often had a barrel of ox tails in brine and a big tub of salt fish.
He had an assistant called Olive, a lovely West Indian lady who wore a sumptuous wig, she looked like Shirley Bassey in he prime. I was only a nipper and she doted on me, spoilt me rotten. I miss her to this day.
My mum used to work there on Saturdays while my gran & grandad minded us in term time, but I was generally in the shop getting under everyone’s feet or mooching about on or around Great Western Street throughout the summer holidays.
Happy days eh? :-)
 
Yep.
What surprises me in our modern one stop shop world is how my mum would walk all over the place for the best prices, just to save a few coppers. There was a BATA shoe shop and a mens clothes shop where I got Farah trousers on Great Western Street too.
I’m 70 by the way.
 
How on earth they can justify themselves by booing the anthem is incredible. Some of the things that guy said on that video were ridiculous and proof that they are a cult! I don’t sing the anthem but would never boo it. The media are pathetic in their non committal comments on the cults scummy behaviour.
I don't disrespect the anthem but I never sing it either. I did on Saturday with gusto. The Dippers are just needy, attention seeking 2hats

Only this

Half the Liverpool fans there at the weekend won’t be residents of Liverpool but have chosen to follow Liverpool due to some failing in their character. How these people can join in the booing for the reasons stated is beyond me

So a guy from Kent decides to support Liverpool as a kid decides to boo the national anthem because why? He identifies with the sentiment? Because he agrees with the stance taken.

I just don’t get it. The only thing you are left with like you say is they were doing it because everybody else was which is quite bizarre when you think about it
 
Hypocracy is the word. Manchester has a stronger socialist heritage Also a better irish expat exoerience. They treated irish catholics terriblty..my grandad being one. Moston Manchester became tbe home he loved
Irish immigrants largely built Trafford Park. Huge contingent in C19 and early C20.
 
Totally agree and if they want their own government I am sure there are millions of people outside of Liverpool who will gladly help them "leave" the UK
This is exactly the case with Scottish independence. The English taxpayer significantly funds social items which we don’t have such as free care for the elderly, free uni education etc. This is funded by reducing gov spending in the English regions. Most English taxpayers would gladly support Scottish independence.
Note the poisoned dwarf wants a referendum. She keeps conveniently quiet about her terms which include no fiscal independence. Keep paying, you sassenachs.

They used to say ”gi’us a job” now they say “fuck the job, just gi’us the money.”
 

Its the 'long to reign over us'' line that i can't stomach...we are all equal aren't we? I wont boo
.just keep my counsel ..that's the beauty of free expression though...imagine being in North Korea being made to sing it..madness
 
Some people think that it's a relatively new thing, disliking the dippers. And from a footballing perspective this is almost certainly true. It's only in the last few years that their name has pinged up on the radar again after about 30 years of footballing wilderness.
But the general dislike of all things Scouse goes way, way back. I remember grandparents saying never trust a scouser: they are lying, thieving, unscrupulous people with no morals whatsoever.

Naturally this is not indicative of the entire population of the city of Liverpool: of course not. One bad apple and all that. But that was the general feeling when I was growing up.

Years later I became a guitarist/vocalist and I applied my trade throughout the south east: pubs, clubs, wedding receptions, cruise ferries, etc. And then the Channel Tunnel came along. An influx of European labourers, carpenters, plasterers etc seemed to appear almost overnight in search of work.
Many of these transient labourers were Scousers. And it was meeting some of these people in the clubs and pubs where I was playing that reinforced the stereotype that I'd grown up with...and some!
I'll not go into detail but I can assure you after every gig the locals would watch over my gear as I went to and fro putting the amps and cabs etc into the van.

These people would routinely steal ashtrays, beermats, empty glasses - anything they could get their hands on. Now why the fuck would you want to steal a beermat, FFS!

The tunnel was finished and opened to the public in the mid-1990's, but the sour aftertaste of the visiting Scousers is still being experienced by those that remember the late 80's early 90's in the Garden of England.
 
As well as providing a large amount of the labour force to dig the earth out for the ship canal.
Many people in England think that the Irish came here as labourers, full stop. Although that was largely true at the outset, they quickly moved on to learn all the skilled trades involved in Manchesters massive development. They were in huge demand as brickies, plasterers, electricians plumbers etc etc.
iirc, McAlpines relied heavily on Irish labour, training thousands in the skilled trades.

Of course Liverpool’s high port taxes played its part and were much resented in M/cr. So much so that the ship canal was built. Scousers resented this, feeling they had been diddled out of their due. Should not have been so greedy. Enmity between Liverpool and M/cr followed.
Scouse venality played a big part in the demise of Liverpool docks. That trade goes elsewhere now, Preston being a big beneficiary.

It wasn't McAlpines.
It was Wimpey who employed all the Irish .
