Liverpool fans throwing missiles from South Stand Level 3

that steward in the video of the dipper chucking the pot needs to be identified and asked what the he was doing!
 
I am at a complete loss to understand why we as a club are issuing a joint statement, it was once again the serial offenders from Liverpool causing the problems. We should do nothing jointly ever with that vermin. I read a comment from one of their lying fans today, in which he stated that he could feel the hate last night and just can’t understand why we despise them so much. How can people be so utterly lacking in self awareness.

Well done mate for sending your email. I think that you should write again for an updated position in a few days time and keep us all posted. I suppose the good thing is that they have acknowledged that those horrible feral bastards were at it again

I guess it’s gone beyond replying to little old me with it all having gone public. But I did write again and got a further reply saying this:

“Its far too serious….. It has to be investigated and is already underway. There was a huge breach of our safety operation and we won’t tolerate the behavoir that we saw last night…”

I am not going to write to them again as I’d rather they got on with that investigation. But as majority of fans knew what was likely to happen then why was there “a huge breach” of the safety operation. And when they say they “won’t tolerate the behaviour that we saw” why did they tolerate it last night, as they clearly did by just watching it happen.

They should be locked up in a cage and never allowed to any other grounds.
Trouble follows them everywhere.
Just when will the media actually wake up to this is one of life’s great mysteries.

Yeah my red mates hate them and always have. Always thought it was to belittle us city fans - as in they’re our real rivals - but totally get it now.
 
In response to the last paragraph of a post by Gorton-tubster in the locked email thread, the treatment of Liverpool and its people over the years by thatcher, tory governments, police, press, the establishment etc. over hillsborough, and subsequently the general population of this country who have peddled the same old lies, has undoubtedly led to a lot of heartache, hatred and bitterness.

I honestly think a big part of why Liverpool are disliked by large parts of the country is because Liverpool supporters don't want anything to with them and don't want to be like them, as a result of this treatment. The shit Liverpool have taken over the years about Hillsborough and poverty inevitably creates a rift and 'scouse not english' becomes the sentiment. People up and down the country then don't like it and the resentment becomes mutual.

The poor girl getting hit by something last night absolutely shouldn't have happened and was disgraceful. How anyone can think it's acceptable to indiscrimately throw anything into a crowd full of people is beyond me. I hope whoever did it is caught and punished accordingly.

At the same time, the ramping up of the taunting of people over death and poverty is also inexcusable and is obviously designed to hurt and inflame things.

All this 'what about...' shite is pathetic and gets you nowhere. It's partly why I said yesterday that this one-sided view that Liverpool are scum and City are squeaky clean so it's ok to abuse the scousers as much as you like, is wrong, and actually perpetuates more of the bitterness and unsavoury incidents between the clubs. Liverpool, as do any club, including city, have supporters who will cross the line. City have supporters who are happy to ramp things up with the death taunts. Unfortunately, incidents like last night then become horribly inevitable if it's not reigned in.

You will probably all disgaree but the joint statement seems sensible to me. What needs to happen is that both Liverpool and City accept responsibility for their failings. No ifs or buts. Maybe then things might improve.

I will await the usual vermin, ****, rat, fuck off shouts. But if that's the approach you want to take, maybe you're part of the problem.
 
I doubt there was a single member of this forum who did not envisage trouble from the LFC fans being placed in a tier above ours. It was only a case of what missiles and how many.

Some things are eminently predictable. If you have twenty pints and drive a car there's a good chance you will crash, for example.

If amateurs can see the trouble coming, why can't the club and the police? Naive at best, and that's being generous.

There was an incident outside the ground last night where a gentleman was knocked unconscious and hit his head on the pavement as he went down.
No idea if he is a City or Liverpool fan and I don't care either way but just wondering if anyone knows how the guy is as he looked in a bad way before ambulance and police arrived.

Might have been this guy?
 
Who decided to put the dippers top tier? If it was the club they need to apologise and say they got it hopelessly wrong. If it was the police the club need to tell us. In either case why weren’t there more stewards and police up there? This is a high cat fixture in terms of expected aggro. riot police in joes bar and none where all the trouble was centred. Pathetic, really pathetic on behalf of the club and gmp. I thought before the game it would be an issue, dippers never disapppoint, they deliver consistent trouble everywhere they go. The fact that many other teams had fans up there is completely irrelevant. And why can’t they have an expanded away section , so half of the stand rather than the top of it!?
 
What next? Lifting trophy with them jointly when we PL bcoz it seems that we can't do anything alone. Embarrassing
 
It’s ridiculous that’s it’s escalated to this stage be honest.

I go out in Liverpool all the time to watch bands and go to the bars and restaurants. It’s a great place to go out and my Manchester accent is never an issue. And it’s a broad one.

If I went out with a City or United shirt on I’d get the shite kicked out of me.

"October’s meeting between the clubs at Anfield was marred by disgraceful scenes. Liverpool condemned vile chants from City fans mocking the Hillsborough disaster and graffiti daubed on the away concourses about the tragedy which claimed 97 lives."

The club has allowed this narrative to take hold.
 
At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, I’m beyond sick of these cunts. It feels like an inevitability that every time we play them something will get smashed and/or someone will get hurt.

And yet we’re still hand-holding with fucking joint statements.

Growing up I never thought I’d hate anyone more than the Rags, but it’s become even more personal with these pricks.

Has that echo piece been pulled straight from the echo parody thread? Racist abuse of a disabled liverpool fan mentioned 3 times before adding a line about a teenage girl being injured at the end.

Until both clubs get a grip of the media reporting on the current tensions then no amount of jointly worded statements will deescalate the current climate.

The media are gaslighting cunts who want to push narratives that stoke the tensions. The sad thing is that they’ve succeeded. It seems more people are arsed about getting one over on rival fans than they are about the safety of innocent people at games.

City have put away fans up there before.
First time anything major has happened.

I understand the point but contend that you’re comparing apples with oranges (or ordinary supporters with deluded violent idiots).

All clubs have a few rogue supporters who can go too far but are generally kept in check by the vast majority of straight thinking supporters around them, but Liverpool supporters as a whole are known nationally and internationally for being violent feral scum, and it’s a reputation that they fully deserve.
Knowing what the world already knows there’s no surprise whatsoever that they’ve behaved as reprehensibly as they always do.

It's good that people on here take time to challenge inaccuracies and put forward corrections, in a respectful way. In fact it was only yesterday that I had to educate a fellow poster who had angered other supporters by accusing City of shambolic management.

Peace on Bluemoon. Goodwill to all mankind.
