Liverpool bus damaged on journey back from Etihad Stadium today

[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

I used to get on at the terminus and my mate would jump on at the Holy Family church. It only went to Lever street. Had to get another bus from Piccadilly to Maine rd.
Not sure about the 71 but there was the 7.

The original 76 route went from Day Drive right though to Fallowfield.
Used to get it loads of times outside the Phoenix in NH to Maine Rd and back with my gran as a nipper. The route changed around the early/mid 80s. (Manchester through to Oldham).
The 71 went all over the place but used to catch that at the Windmill to go Abraham Moss leisure centre.
Think it did used to terminate somewhere near old Trafford though.

Of course all this angst and beating our breasts in sorrow takes the focus away from the fact that we SLAUGHTERED THEM!!
Even their coach (the human one…well I think he is) admits we were the better side and actually thanked us for not scoring more. Implying that we could have. :-)

 

[Blue Eyed Dick]

I understood that we were returning their bricks to them

 

[Chris in London]

Read the thread mate. It wasn't Blues.

If it happened in Manchester it probably wasn't a rag

Which rule or section of guidance are you referring to?

I’m assuming there’s one that expressly prohibits the use of the word ‘victims’.

Would guess its pretty much the same as offensive language everywhere it's not whether you meant to offend but more did someone take offence

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Autoglass say it was lucky nobody was killed. But the chip is fixed now.

We are so very, very sorry you beautiful, tolerant, reasonable people of Liverpool.

On the alleged coach attack it appears to be one all on aggregate… city have no concrete evidence but have launched an internal enquiry on the behaviour of Pebble zabaleta , Paul brickov and John stones.

It’s about 1-5 on aggregate to them

The word "Liverpool" offends me deeply.

 

[HalfwayUpTheKippax]

Nope. And we will never see any pictures. Someone lobbed a stone or half a brick. Any damage will be superficial. They would make themselves a laughing stock (as usual) if they did publish any. However, any damage to the coach is not their concern or objective. It is yet again, to draw attention to themselves and portray how hard done by they are. How they are persecuted and why everyone should feel sorry for them. In other words they are Vict..... oops! not allowed to say the 'V-Word' as it upsets them as it is referring to Hillsborough. My fucking arse it is! Everything always has to be about them. All of the time. I'm absolutely sick to fucking death of the lot of them.

Victorians may be a useful substitute. Could even use it to describe their only team to win the PL. The Spittle of Shankly may glory in the grand title but we'd know that it referred to bin dipping scrotes who can give it but can't take it and killed 39 people at Heysel. Alternatively just call them Heysel as they apparently don't recognise that word.

The rules and guidance of the FA and/or PL render them to be inappropriate. There has been plenty of press coverage about it. The clubs have agreed to abide by such rules and guidance in order to join their competitions.

People observe civil disobedience all the time to scratch an itch that needs scratching, this is an itch that needs scratching and we should put pressure on the club to not give an apology out for everything anyone ever does that happens in around near or under the stadium.

The club apologising on our behalf as if it's our moral compass is disgraceful and they need to stop it.

IMHO.

Unfortunately pal, just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean that it didn't happen. I haven't seen it either but the fact that City have themselves said that the Liverpool coach was damaged by a brick, suggests that it did. Then again, Blue Tube didn't see it, so maybe they're wrong.

No need to get all angry and bash your keyboard mate. Something was obviously thrown at their coach and all it does is makes our fans look as bad as their reprobate fans.

You really enjoy trying to talk down to people don’t you, says a lot.

I’m not the only person who has said they haven’t seen any evidence, it’s not that crazy an idea, hope you aren’t a solicitor

Oh yeah and fuck off again

Was it a brick? Wow.

Still it pales into the shadow with the damage to our coach.

Dodge is the go to poster for this. He kindly showed me the "GUIDANCE". It really is a remarkable piece of ambiguous control that we probably have had to accept. The authorities really are a jobsworth bunch of control obsessed, match and fan fixing, old guard favouring functionaries. IMO.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Slightly modified from one I posted on another thread

"It's always our fault
It's always our fault
We can't say the V word
It's always our fault"

It's always our fault
It's always our fault
We've beaten your system
Now F**k off and cry

“We always beat you,
It’s always our fault”

They will regret claiming victimhood oyer this. The piss taking ridicule is going to pour over them in cascades !!

100% this needs to be worked into a chant where we list a few of their "failings" and throw in a bit of city bingo for shits and giggles.

Something along the lines of...

Verse 1 - Why always me, it's always our fault!
Verse 2 - We always beat you, it's always our fault!
Verse 3 - We're always cheating, it's always our fault!
Verse 4 - We're owned by a nation, it's always our fault
Verse 5 - We've beaten your system, now fuck off and cry!

(feel free to make it better, as I'm not much good at this)

Would be ace to hear it ringing out for ages at the ground and it'd let a few of those who perpetuate the myths about us know that we KNOW.

 

[Platt Lane 59]

There defo was no slander for us at the Munich anniversary game? We were impeccable that day. So much to the point that Ferguson applauded the away end after the silence!

There was obviously, no criticism of City fans that day, as the media correctly called the attending fan's behaviour "impeccable".
But, I seem to remember that before the match that City fans were seen by the media as potential trouble makers who would spoil the occasion ?
Also, wasn't there some explosive-type noise outside the ground when it was a minutes silence ?
Don't think it was ever known who caused this noise, but City fans were accused ?

 

[BolinCell]

it might of been a pebble and not a brick. Sometimes things get exaggerated.

I was late getting into the ground, and I'd had a full tin of beans over my brekky that morning.
There, I feel so much better for getting that of my chest after all these years.

A stray brick/rock/pebble hitting this fcuker in the face could only improve his maniacal look... (Jack Nicholson from The Shining!!) .....
Mad as 1/2-box full of rabid frogs this obnoxious prick!!

He does have a slightly strange take on this but there can be no doubt that the incident took place father along Ashton New Road from the stadium, you don't need a picture as City confirmed it. I still don't think Liverpool have commentated on either the coach or the chanting.

In my view, both clubs are dealing with it correctly with no frothing at the mouth needed by anyone.
