Yeah, sadly. We’re throwing around going out for a weekend before they move. Or should I say we were before the pandemic irrevocably changed the whole landscape. The lads who I regularly travel with, all seasoned European travellers, all agree that’s the best stadium they’ve ever had the...

Very few went out under Hodgson and the indiscriminate attacks were severely vicious. Mostly picking off ones and twos as is the ____house scooter boy mentality. And there’d been a few months strike in the city so rubbish was piled high on every street corner. The flip side of all that, was by...

Italy per se bar Milan who don’t tend to have any political tendencies. Gorgeous country ..... when there’s no togger on. From someone who absolutely lives for European trips, I swerved Naples this year. Twice in that absolute cesspit of inhumanity is more than enough for me. Couldn’t pay me...

A couple of months before the League Cup Final (wasn’t afforded the replay at Maine Road) to be precise but that doesn’t detract from his pertinent point.

Nah. I’m just not into playing games. Enjoy your day mate.

I’ve read some far out conspiracy’s but Murdoch pandering to L’pool has made me chuckle.

As I’m posting in the general section on a L’pool thread, and not venturing into the main City section, I didn’t see it as that mate per se. Shrugs. If your reading of personal experience and the multitude of factors that contributed to Heysel was of me somehow ‘defending’ L’pool fans than...

Thank you for the clarification. Nowhere have I either laid the blame solely on any one factor or absolved our own part in that horrible day. As you’ll find many Reds, if you spoke to them in person and not follow the madness of Twitter hits or the oft mentioned RAWK lunacy (which pertains to...

Completely different eras. You’re inadvertently making the point as much as you’re vainly trying to skit it mate It was totally out of place at the time. Not least if all you’ve ever known to that point is our unique accent. But this is a futile discussion. As was shown in not only the...

Thank you. Hardly ‘blame shifting’ in the context of the whole piece but I guess you can infer things different ways. Appreciate the response ta.

Being as that’s the second time you’ve posted that, pray tell when he actually said that? If you could direct/ link us to actual quotes to that end it would be appreciated. Curious minds and all that. Appreciation in advance ta.

‘..... right wing fans of other clubs .....’ I’d left enabling your previous tawdry inference any further, but far be it from you to now stick to what was actually wrote and not put your own slant on it mate.

'The stadium was fit for purpose .....' A stadium SO badly maintained by the Belgium authorities, you could pick apart the terracing with your bare hands. (Ruble which was readily broken off and used as missiles both ways in the carnage.) A stadium that poorly maintained by the Belgium...

There's both some revisionist history and an, shall we say, 'interesting' take on 'ordinary fans along with neutrals there to watch the game' you have going on there mate. Unless of course battering a young L'pool fan in that 'neutral' section, lobbing crap over the divide in the build-up, and...

Scandalous North/ South divide which just highlights yet again the absolute disdain and contempt they hold us in. 3 games in Manchester and 1 each in Newcastle and L'pool, all involving Northern clubs, have been requested to be played behind-closed-doors. Yet matches like the North London...

Heysel and Sheffield are two subjects I rarely speak about publicly as the memories and emotions from two horrific days NO person should EVER have to experience are still as raw as if they happened yesterday. Time ISN'T a great healer when you've lived through events like those. But THERE'S so...
