Being offensive is an offence,' reads Merseyside Police's slogan against hate crime.



Must have been a very inoffensive bricking the Manchester City bus received on its way to Anfield that time, then, because no one was ever arrested.


Not sure its been posted but nice one Martin Samuel.


Well was more worried about the copy and paste working than noticing the post just before;-(

Ah, but Murkyside plod were clearly not offended by the coach bricking so nothing to see. Let's move on.

For the first time in a long time I've read an entire article in The Athletic. Oliver Kay, once of the DT parish, lays into the greedy bastards, we know who they are, who are proposing a Greeds' Charter. Excellent article, and for once, I say to Oliver "Have a cigar for that!"

They are cunts Mike. The media used to quite like us, and I can’t work out whether the hatred is because we are a threat to united and liverpool (but Chelsea never got this shit) or deep rooted anti Arab racism.

I doubt very much that it is anti-Arab racism; they are playing to the gallery. It's the appease the establishment that we have disturbed/disrupted/destroyed. It's from the same pit as the EUFA action against us.

The Merseyside Police were piss poor at the time of the attack on the coach as well as the non existent action afterwards.
Any commander worth his salt would have ordered the motor cycle escort dictating the speed of the coach to speed up to get the coach through more quickly. Instead they just continued to plod along(excuse pun) as an easy target as were the foot escort.
It would have been entirely different if some poor copper had copped (oops) a half brick in the head and sustained serious injuries.

When you look at the videos from that night, it's seems to me that they contrived the revised route so that a 40 foot(?) coach had to take a narrow right turn which made it slow down to almost stopping. How any officer in charge that day could have not foreseen the problem a coach would have with that route is beyond negligent.

Unfortunately he also said people prefer to watch Barcelona, Real, Rags, Dippers, Chelsea and Spurs etc. It seems he feels we aren't a big draw.

It was interesting that we never got a mention. Not for the greed, not for the 'historical performance(?), nor for a wee mention when he threw in the word 'sustainablility'! It might be that he doesn't see the best football currently played in the PL, and probably consistently the best in Europe as a 'draw', but it's a start for the lad.

They knew and why they picked that route city Questioned it but was told it be fine. He said it be fine with a big fat grin and a wink to his police scouse mate

Fairly sure we get at least among the highest if not the highest TV ratings in the league these days. We might not have the biggest fanbase but we seem to get a lot more rival fans and neutrals watching.
