Ashamed of nothing, offended by everything!
"Responsibility for Heysel" you gotta be kidding mate don't you know it was Chelsea fans and the NF who caused that.Santiago Street . said:The rags had it right with their "always the victims" song
This was slaughtered in the media as being on a par with Munich songs. It's nothing of the sort.
If scousers collectively had taken responsibility for Heysel in the same all consuming way that they've collectively wallowed in self pity for Hillsborough then the song would be factually incorrect. They haven't and it isn't.
Because it gains them support through sympathy. They always use the phrase "the way this club has come through what we've been through" to make people think 'wow, what a great club they are'.Manc in London said:Both United and Liverpool fans use sad events that involved the clubs they support (Munich Air Disaster and Hillsborough, respectively) to their advantage as soon as an opportunity appears to do so. It's as if they relish it. I just don't understand why they do it.
"An emotional weapon" is a very good description.LoveCity said:casualdeyna said:Am I allowed to say it's all getting a bit overkill now?
No, you're not, or you'll be arrested by the Political Correctness Police.
Of course it's overkill. It was a horrible tragedy and the families deserve justice, but the club and fan base use it as an emotional weapon. Rodgers blatantly used the disaster to fire up his team and fans.
Where is the constant reminder of the Bradford fire (56 dead)? Oh, they aren't a big club, so it doesn't count.

People are not stupid and if the dippers carry on with this "marketing" and " woe is me" attitude for much longer I can envisage booing and an adverse reaction in future years from opposing fans .
Not only have Liverpool fans shown disrespect to city last weekend but are still trying to compete in mourning top trumps .
I've got hillsborough fatigue and I don't care who's upset with that .
Mark my words the tide will turn if the current attitude and expectations of Liverpool fans towards the disaster continues
In short. I am not obliged to mourn I am not obliged to feel sorry for you. I am not obliged to observe any anniversary. Don't make it part of my yearly calendar
Do it in private but keep out and off my tv and news
Far worse things have happened since that get no or little attention
In closing. I don't care anymore and that is purely down to Liverpool FC itself , the overkill and faux outrage at anyone who doesn't comply
