“City Matters” fan committee

Fucks sake city why are we constantly pussy whipped by the scousers?!

I'm afraid I blame those of our fans who reportedly sang, "The Sun was right, you're murderers!" at Anfield. Everyone knows that the issues with that newspaper on Merseyside relate to its coverage of the Hillsborough disaster and any chant referencing The Sun is going to be seen in that light. As a result, the narrative of Hillsborough chants was all over social media the moment the game ended.

Any defence of those chants would have widely appeared to non-Blues to be risibly incognizant of the sense of what was sung. Given the context, I understand why City wouldn't even try. They'd simply have opened themselves up to widespread ridicule.

Really, how fucking hard is it to think up a chant that unambiguously references Heysel and only Heysel ("Juve were right, you're murderers," perhaps?). The weapons-grade fucking morons who chanted the version referring to The Sun at Liverpool did both the club and all the rest of us a huge disservice. They really should be called out on it.

I accept that but I don’t accept it weakens the force of most of what I’ve written. And nor do I suggest that the club should have defended those (or the victims) chants. Not defending those chants doesn’t preclude the club stridently defending City supporters, who were widely castigated in the press for a few dickheads singing an offensive tune that has a confused and ambiguous meaning.

It’s a nonsensical, idiotic chant, but our manager was assaulted with weapons and that should have been the principal narrative, and it wasn’t.

Like I said, it’s no coincidence that Liverpool chose to deploy their offence on this occasion when they previously haven’t. It was to deflect from the truculence of their own supporters and our club were complicit in assisting them with that.

Our board should be declaring war on these bastards and making them suffer further not sucking them off and trying to be matey matey and certainly not going being the backs of the city matters group?!

All part of the gameplan leading upto their reaction to our actions on Thursday....nice friendly dips actively holding an Olive branch while City fans hurl abuse at innocent in every way dips.

All so tediously predictable too.

Let's add a bit of context here.

What Liverpool has done...

- Murdered 39 fans at Heysel (something they mocked earlier this year by hosting a celebratory parade on the anniversary)
- Attacked our coaches
- hacked our scouting systems
- Spat at our bench
- Launched coins at Pep


What City has done...

- Allegedly wrote a nasty sentence on a toilet cubicle (not convinced any city fan has ever referred to them as 'Kopites')
- Sang a few nasty songs about Hillsborough (which is out of order) and Heysel (which is fair game)


With all that said, Liverpool can either apologize, find and ban the fans who attacked our staff and promise never to mock Heysel again - or fuck off. Doesn't that sound fair?

It comes to something when City puts Liverpool Football Club and their fans in-front of City fans. As for the way City have treated the City Matters reps, and in doing so, the City fan base, it’s a….(fill in as appropriate)

I think the last few pages have missed the point of this update.
We still do not know who attended, who invited them and what was said.
Was it just the Chairman of City Matters ?
All we seem to know is City and the shits released a press statement and this was followed by a FB post now posted on here.

Just saw the above on twitter so not 100% sure on it's accuracy.

I'm not sure either but if it's true then it wouldn't be the first time that the club has used the name of City Matters for ulterior motives. Previously, controversial club decisions such as independent travellers to away games being subjected to the possibility of having to collect their tickets at the destination and the booting out of hundreds of season ticket holding fans to make way for the new advertising hoardings have either had the CM name up in lights (the former) or CM being consulted at the last minute when a decision had already been made (the latter)

Mark sits just behind me so I might speak to him on Thursday if I get the chance.

Can't find that Twitter handle at all, is it a legit account?
