Liverpool bus damaged on journey back from Etihad Stadium today

[mancityvstoke]

They'll be moaning that we want to "tear scousers apart" next.

Get off your fucking high horse, I didn't sing the precious song. I was pointing out people singing it didn't have Hillsborough top of mind, it was triggered by actions on the pitch and wasn't sang again.

Yep, I was at the Blackburn game when the disaster happened and was well aware of how iffy big pockets of fans from ALL clubs were, it could have been any of us.

I sang it last weekend, never gave a thought to Hillsborough as it's got fuck all to do with it.

Yeah ...I was ....didnt we get slaughtered?

I'll probably get slaughtered for this but apart from us tearing them a new arse hole on Saturday the next best thing was hearing a large part of the stadium singing the victims song to them as they fkd off in their droves after our 4th goal ! They deserve it as since the somewhat one-sided final Hillsborough verdict they know their almost untouchable and can do as they want with as nobody dare say or do anything against them ! For me fk em sing what we want !

For a City that supposedly hates grasses they don't half do a lot of grassing people up.

Sadly we were beaten 4-0.

Ripley had Taggert? on toast all game.

There really is no point in wasting any energy thinking about this on their behalf. They’d find a Hillsborough reference in an episode of Countryfile or Saturday Kitchen at a push.

I was on the bus near the South stand when their escort came past, the old bill outnumbered them

Their players on the pitch outnumbered them.

The defeat on the pitch hurt them, but the surrender of their fans hurt them,and their vainglorious entitled rats, much more.

Out sung, outwitted, laughed out, then.....outside.

They are not used to being schooled, couldn’t cope,and simply gave up. Believe me they are seething more aboot this than 4-1 !!

Embarrassed & Embarrassing !!

Yes, you're up against it when your whole mantra is you'll never walk alone then you fuck off and leave your team to do just that.

Society as a whole was told Hillsborough was the fault of football fans, by the government, the police and the media, not to mention its own governing body. If you attended matches in the 70’s 80’s & 90’s you would have experienced police brutality, kettling, violence, thuggery, and being penned in cages. Every football fan was a potential victim, every football fan was treated like a criminal (almost subhuman at times). A few are hard wired into believing LFC supporters were in part to blame for Hillsborough, is that really their fault given the way it was reported ? Some people will also attempt to attribute the ‘always the victims’ chant to Hillsborough, even though it is widely accepted and understood that football fans weren’t at fault that day, it’s my belief if you don’t hold LFC fans responsible for Hillsborough, then how can they relate the song to it if you sing it ?

I think that if people wanted to sing about Heysel, they'd use one of the many songs about Heysel, and if they wanted to sing about defending Suarez, they'd make up a song about that, and Always the victims not being explicitly about Hillsborough gives people what they think is an acceptable fig leaf to sing about Hillsborough being Liverpool fans fault whilst pretending they aren't.

I think that is complete horseshit. That you frankly have no right to claim.

I agree the song is 'accepted' as being 'associated with' Hillsborough, for reasons already noted. And that that may make it arguably inappropriate, I've had no issue with the club statement.

But to argue people are hiding behind it to openly sing about tragedy is one fucking perverse take, no matter how self righteous you might feel. That's a shocking take, in fact. For fans of any football club.
