Liverpool fans throwing missiles from South Stand Level 3

[blue44]

Ricky Tomlinson appeared at a pub in Ashton a few weeks ago (he’d met the landlady and her husband in Turkiye a few weeks earlier). Just did a speech about his life, about an hour in he said “please turn your phones off recording this, I’m going to talk about Cilla Black”. Absolutely ripped into her big style, he couldn’t stand her, talked about he false accent and her put on Scouse personality, he really did hate that talentless woman.

which pub in Ashton was it ?

Unbelievable why are the bbc so scared to say liverpool fan

They wouldn’t say it on their tv news segment tonight either, just said it “was thought to be upper tier to lower tier”.

I saw that and wondered why they couldn't add 'where Liverpool fans were seated' to that statement - if they want to find the culprit they need to know where to look.

It was so odd, it inadvertently drew viewers attention to it, in a way.

They're quicker to name a terrorist as a Muslim than they are a football hooligan a Liverpool fan.

The issue with this whole joint statement is that it actually acts as justification for the worst elements of the scouse fans and their apologists. Both sets of fans have been guilty of being knobheads at times. For one set, it's mainly been unsavoury chants and a few bits of graffiti. For the other set, it's been repeated acts of violence from numerous members of the crowd. But they're both portrayed as equivalent issues, and you see them on Twitter, using the fact that City fans were chanting something as justification for violence.

It wasn't even the perceived Hillsborough chants this time, it was feed the scousers. And yeah it's in bad taste in the middle of a cost of living crisis, but the crowd tonight were chanting "Jimmy Savile, he's fingered your mum" on live TV and you didn't see Leeds fans reacting with violence. That's far worse taste.

Crucial bit of detail missing from this story from the BBC

Manchester City v Liverpool: Police appeal after girl, 15, injured at football match

The girl was treated in hospital after a pint cup filled with coins hit her head, police said.

www.bbc.co.uk

It’s really weird, particularly as the article even includes a police appeal for help. To not say where the missile was actually thrown from defies belief.

Did you know.

Liverpudlians think BBC North West Tonight News is Manchester centric as it comes from Manchester. They believe it’s biased in it’s news towards Manchester.
