Liverpool fans throwing missiles from South Stand Level 3

[jrb]

City and the Scousers release a carefully worded joint statement.

This is how is going to play out now. Both clubs releasing beneficial and carefully worded statements, so not to provoke each other, and not to harm the new found collaboration.

F*ck off City, you spinless......

Liverpool Echo.





The statement read: "Manchester City FC, Liverpool FC and the Chairs from our supporter groups have worked together in recent weeks to remind fans of our expectations and both clubs would like to thank the vast majority of fans for their behaviour at last night’s Carabao Cup match at the Etihad Stadium.

“It is however hugely disappointing that there were a number of incidents during last night’s match that are wholly unacceptable. These incidents will be fully investigated, reported to the police and the individuals who are found to be responsible will be subject to the sanction process of their respective club.

“Manchester City FC and Liverpool FC are fully committed to working together to eradicate these issues from our fixtures. They have no place in football.”

It really is odd, seriously what the fuck is going on with the uk media & the dippers?

The club should be releasing a statement condemning the throwing of objects by Liverpool fans and getting it made public knowledge but as others have said, they have been utterly pathetic in the email and handling of this.

And the strategy works. Zero tolerance. They will hound anyone and everyone until they get what they want which is usually an apology. That way they are 100% right and history has been written / re-written in their favour. This way they are untouchable. Nobody and I mean nobody in the media dare utter one single word against them. They have it sewn up and they know it. Appeasing them just emboldens them further. The only way to deal with this cult is to meet them head on. Fight fire with fire. Nobody has ever had the balls to do it as yet.

I’d love it to be our club that calls them out… but I doubt it will be

 

[Burtonblue]

The more we play them the more I hate these cunts.

Without doubt the most despicable fans in the world.
Just disgraceful.

 

[Paladin]

No, they haven't "now put up a story" it was put up this morning and the headline was amended at 12.32pm

What kind of twat spends his time inventing conspiracy theories to make fellow supporters more angry?

It's good that people on here take time to challenge inaccuracies and put forward corrections, in a respectful way. In fact it was only yesterday that I had to educate a fellow poster who had angered other supporters by accusing City of shambolic management.

Peace on Bluemoon. Goodwill to all mankind.

By the way, the fact this massive security breach happened in 2013, and in 2017/2018 our computer security was still so bad that Rui Pinto managed to actually hack the system and retrieve 10,000,000 documents is absolutely shambolic, and probably the worst management of the club since 2008.

I never quite understood the hatred United have over Liverpool. I fully get it now.

 

[True_Blue69]

I agree. The clubs have to do things jointly otherwise this just gets stoked up further. For me, as alluded to by some others, the easiest solution would be to mutually agree that no away fans will be allowed at either stadium for the foreseeable future. I am sure the Premier League would agree to this if both clubs wanted it. It won’t solve the problem should we meet at Wembley but it is a start. They can’t allow this to build up further because someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed and it’s always someone who is not involved like the poor girl hit by the pint pot last night or that Liverpool fan who was hit by a coin at our place a few years ago.

I absolutely hate missiles being thrown as it’s just so random.

Is this serious?

Sounds like the behaviour of another cult, Scientology.

if people were abusing someone racially (the disability being irrelevant) that is not acceptabe, but it is interesting the difference is always the same
>>They brick a coach
<<we sing a song misconstrued as being about Hillsborough
>>they gang up and attack a West Ham fan
<<we have a fan accused of writing graffiti
>>they throw things that result in a girl ending in hospital
<<we are accused of racism agsint a fan
now... I am not trying to say accusations against City are not true (although we almost all know “always the victims” has stuff all to do with Hillsborough) but it is funny how accusations against us are “Please sir, he said this or that about me” but accusations against them are always physical
i know which is worse (as well as being easier to prove)

As ever, where Liverpool fans go, trouble ensues.

As ever, their sycophantic pals in the media turn a blind eye.

Seems like it’s completely irrelevant to this thread but you simply excused the club’s security for falling for a phishing scam dozens of other clubs avoided by pointing out City weren’t the only organisation he gained access to, that’s not a correction, it’s a different opinion - which I still don’t agree with, stopping phishing attacks should be basic IT security - like employees not sharing passwords for scouting databases.

 

[Corky]

How do you abuse people in an area you can't see bar from another side of the ground?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Has that echo piece been pulled straight from the echo parody thread? Racist abuse of a disabled liverpool fan mentioned 3 times before adding a line about a teenage girl being injured at the end.

 

[Bald fraud]

Sly Sports yello ticker saying objects thrown, but of course not who by

Wankers

 

[Keep the Faith]

Merseyside Police couldn't find Shergar in a phone box, even if you told them which phone box he was hiding in

 

[Dodge]

Haven't seen it mentioned, probably has, but what was the score with the two lads knocking 10 bells out of each other in the new bar in SS1, just before the end of the game?

 

[Thornliebank]

We have a similar situation up in Glasgow between Rangers and Celtic. Unfortunately, dignified silence and/ or appeasement does not work. The enemy see it as a sign of weakness and use it to excuse the most disgraceful behaviour. The attacks will not only continue, they will increase.

 

[BeerIsTheBest]

I was arrested today at the Trafford Centre for shoplifting. I have mailed the Head Office of the store involved to point out that it’s their fault for putting adverts on the telly and enticing me to go to their shop. Really what do they expect?

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Has anyone worked out why one team out of 90+ English pro football teams always seems to be involved in any reported trouble. Are they unlucky, purely coincidental or is it due to the fact they are the root cause. UK media, wake up, grow some balls, smell the coffee and start reporting the truth

 

[I'm Blue]

Not sure why we need to be ‘working closely with Liverpool’
Get the CCTV footage and give it to greater Manchester police.
The cult of the dippers isn’t just in the fan base, it’s rife throughout the whole club.
Why we keep pussy footing around these cunts is beyond me.
It’s time we started calling these cunts out for their actions.
Put out a statement straight to the point.
I’m sick of our diplomatic approach to this.
Last night young kids got hurt, some needing stitches and all the club seem to be doing is not wanting to upset Liverpool.
Well fuck that!
I’ve backed our owners for 99% of their time here, but this fucking stinks.
Not only are they not backing our fans here, but more importantly they’re failing to protect them.
Time to stop playing nicely and do something before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.
