Liverpool bus damaged on journey back from Etihad Stadium today

No I wasn't there, and some people will think that disqualifies me from the discussion which is fine, but given this is the 3rd or 4th game vs Liverpool in a row that the same song has caused national headlines and caused the club to release statements, and caused hundreds of pages of discussion on here, there can be no pretence that people are unaware of the controversy surrounding the song and whether it's linked to Hillsborough.

You sing that song, you know Liverpool fans think it's about Hillsborough, you know the press and the FA think it's about Hillsborough, and you know the club are going to have to release a statement about it again.
No liverpool fans and the media that sucks up to them do not think it’s about Hillsborough, it’s what they want you to think because of their strange and obsessive persecution complex mentality, or put more simply a victim mentality. And I can 100% assure you I am thinking and typing that with no reference to Hillsborough

Good god you don't half talk some absolute tripe on here.
 
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.

The song might originate in 2011 but the line comes from Boris Johnson's 2004 Spectator article and the aftermath of that blowing up where he says - in an article directly apportioning blame for Hillsborough to Liverpool fans - that they always see themselves as victims and wallow in it.

You can't take a line from something explicitly about Hillsborough, turn it into a chant and then pretend it's not about Hillsborough.

The United fans singing the song in 2012 also made headlines, and IIRC United apologised and the United supporters Trust had to release statements about it, so its been 11 years since people have known that it's been interpreted as being about Hillsborough.

How many supporters read the spectator?

The word victim is inherently linked to Hillsborough becuase the families spent decades using that word specifically in their campaign to overturn the accidental death verdict and prove that their loved ones were unlawfully killed victims of a disaster and not the perpetrators they were portrayed as by SYP and the media.


You and others might try and say that it came about in 2012 as a result of the Suarez racsim incident, but that doesn't really explain why the song wasn't heard and reported on until September 2012, more than a year after the Suarez incident but only a 3 days after the Hillsborough Independent Panel published it's report and the government reopened the inquiry.

At the end of the day, we will probably never know the original intention of the person who came up with the song, but that the FA thinks it's about Hillsborough, the press think it's about Hillsborough, Liverpool fans think it's about Hillsborough and you cant make that go away by insisting it's not, and you can't claim ignorance to the fact that some people think it's related to Hillsborough. So as long as it gets sung, the club will have to issue statements, and the papers will report on it.

So even if it's true that a group managed to coopt the song to mean something it wasn't intended to mean - what is the aim of singing it now?

Why complain about the club and media response when you know full well it's going to happen when the song gets sung?

I imagine 99% of football fans read a newspaper or watch the TV news, which means they were aware of the massive row that blew up following the publishing of that article and Johnson's words blaming Liverpudlians for Hillsborough.

That line you're repeating about Liverpool fans and their victim mentality? It comes from a Boris Johnson article in 2004 attacking the city of Liverpool for never accepting their own responsibility for Hillsborough that blew up and became national news.

So they waited 8 years and a specific racist incident to bring it up? That's a bit of a stretch if you ask me.
 
I'm absolutely sick to death of these self righteous cunts, absolutely had my fill with these tramps.
Tell you what the premier league and the FA, instead of gunning after us why don't you ban their away fans from every ground and stop away fans going to Anfield. Absolutely no excuses then is there!
They can sit in peace and quiet for their home game, which they do for most of the 90mins anyway, they don't have to feel victimised or single out and no mardarse statements after every match.

So what they're saying is these chants have only gone on this season?
Funny, when they was doing well i don't remember one statement being released, all of a sudden the arse has fell out of their season and it's statement after statement.

Do me a fuckin favour.

Throwing a plastic pint pot weighed down at away fans.
Smashing up coaches.
Causing a crush and pure panic at the champions league final.
Heysel.
Pushing people into fountains.
Being horrible, foul mouthed cunts everywhere they go.

Try apologising for some of these, until then, liverpool fans, liverpool football club, liverpool arse kissing media, go and fuck yourselves.
 
This was always a Utd v LFC thing until Utd went to shit and we became their rivals.

Until then we were just Shipmans victims to them.

Apparently Harold Shipman killed my Gran.

Or that's what they chanted right at me in 111 years ago.

Focus on what they've done not on us.

Add their feral behaviour in the 70's using stanley knives etc and massive mobs of them on the rob, mugging, slashing and stabbing.
 
It seems to me that the Premier league have spoken to every club and told them to issue a rapid immediate response statement condoning the "Always the victims" chant if it can be heard at their games.
This as been done because of the Dippers whinging AGAIN and as always getting their own way.
But nobody from the footballing authorities or the media would dare to stand up and say the chant is nothing to do with Hillsborough for fear of reprisals from the Cult.
Singing to be banned at stadiums within 5 yrs at this rate, unless of course it's about our dead queen, Harold Shipman, the IRA etc etc which would no doubt be seen as a freedom of speech from our cheeky little scouse buddies from down the East Lancs.
 
How about changing victims to whinging? It's not hard, nobody is mentioning victims and it still sums them up perfectly. "Always whinging it's never your fault" Or, "Always the whingers it's never your fault"

I really don’t think you can ever see any other viewpoint other than your own, nearly all of your posts are like that. I am not sure if you have attended any or many City matches and therefore whether you have any real understanding of what City fans feel and why.

I have been going to games home and away since the 60’s, aways starting more in the 70’s. Liverpool fans have always in that time been cunts, be it Stanley knives, spitting and piss throwing, bottle throwing and NEVER been held to account for it; none of the journalists who love them used to have to dodge the shit that visiting fans did, in fact even when Joe Corrigan got hit with a bottle the MOTD commentator actually praised the liverpool fans cos 3 or 4 of them were pointing at the **** who did it.

We have had their support of racist Suarez (including Carragher who I believe has since said it was wrong but no journalists called him out for it), we’ve had piss thrown us from above in the anfield road end for years, supporters coaches bricked on the day we impeccably observed the Hillsborough anniversary, they’ve had a bus parade on the Heysel anniversary, they mass celebrated and set fire to their own city during Covid, they coined and scarred a young City fan at the Etihad recently, they’ve mass attacked our team coach, they’ve spat on our coaching staff, they’ve coined Pep, and so it goes on.

Not to mention their songs about Munich, shipman, the IRA, their disrespect of the national anthem.

They have been utter cunts for decades, they have got away with it for decades and that’s why they are despised by our match going fan base. Nothing to do with Hillsborough.

Regardless of time lines the victims song was started by united fans who sang it for years before we did. We adopted it in more recent times due to the above. It has nothing to do with Hillsborough and everything to do with their mentality and behaviour, and them continuously getting away with it and having it whitewashed by a sycophantic media
