Not at all EB, you are however banging your head against the proverbial where some posters are concerned.Why can’t we just sing/chant about our own players and club and leave the other stupid, allegedly offensive chants out of it?
Or am being naive? ;-)

So you put them on ignore and then quote them once more? Hmmm...Rag. Without a doubt.
Whether he's a Blue or not is immaterial TBH, the fact that you think it's important considering the topic speaks more about your character than theirs.

The 'Always the victims' chant goes back to January 2012 when Rags were at home v Dippers, it was sang in response to Dippers fans booing Evra who was racially abused by Suarez a few months earlier, Dippers as a club chose to wear t-shirts following Suarez being banned in support of him rather than go for 'LFC against racism', this is where the song originates from and they were the reasons behind it, this was told to me by a rag attending season ticket holder
Apart from this bit…
Yeah I included that as well in the edit.
It's the root of the problem though isn't it? People still think Liverpool fans are responsible despite 30 years of investigations and inquiries showing that's not the case.

All clubs should have worked harder to prevent such tragedies, it's not like it hadn't happened before (Bolton, Rangers etc). Liverpool were the unlucky ones in that respect. But it was just different times that only make sense if you lived during them I suppose.Even in a comment about how you supposedly believe the chant isn't related to Hillsborough, you've managed to say it's about Hillsborough twice and manage to at least partly blame them for Hillsborough.

Some people think Liverpool fans were responsible; others, like me, don’t.
It’s not a subject that has linear lines of thought. Just because Liverpool fans weren’t responsible for Hillsborough, and SYP were, doesn’t mean there isn’t a pervasive culture of lack of accountability associated with that club.
Maybe it’s connected to the aftermath of Hillsborough, maybe it’s wholly isolated, but it exists and is inveterate.
Are you suggesting it isn’t?
Thanks, I am a blue FWIWSo you put them on ignore and then quote them once more? Hmmm...

That's not the gotcha you think it is
Are you sure?
