Liverpool thread 2017/18

[Colin Bells Boots]

Never condoning the actions of the supporters of either Liverpool or Roma who were responsible for an innocent person getting seriously injured, but the hypocrisy of LFC is absolutely stunning.

Had they and Mersesyside Police shown the same concern for City and other visiting teams subjected to such disgraceful attack on the City coach, then perhaps the incidents with the Roma supporters may never have taken place. The fact that neither the club nor the police demonstrated any tangible concern about the safety of the City players or supporters just demonstrates that they were both complicit in the attack, even if they did not outwardly encourage it.

But now there is a genuine concern being expressed for the safety of Liverpool supporters attending the game in Roma , by LFC which really is the height of hypocrisy imo.

Nobody should be threatened with injury or even death for simply attending a football match, but LFC and Merseyside Police have to accept a substantial amount of the blame due to their irresponsible part in condoning such " greetings " by their disgraceful set of supporters responsible for their feral behaviour.

Perhaps those now wringing their hands in horror should reflect on the role they have played in this matter, and a condemnation by the British media should also have been forthcoming at the time of the City attack. Apart from being mentioned, I do not recall much of an outcry by our media other than talking about the " glorious atmosphere on European nights at Anfield ".

Fantastic post.

That turd of a rag has no room complaining about what others print.

The truth hurts, but they constantly deny the truth, the tittle of Self Pity City is very well deserved.

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

The weirdest thing is they actually, really, truly BELIEVE they are not responsible for anything.

Precisely.
They set the tone, they created the ethos of aggressive and violent behaviour and are now surprised that others want to play them at their own game.
Downright hypocrisy.

FAO Liverpool fans. If you make the final. Remember to use your wits, and keep valuables and tickets in a safe, concealed place. It will be full of scousers.

 

[paulchapo]

It's not a scouce problem, otherwise Everton (who arguably have a bigger local following) would be the same, it's an LFC problem

Everton haven't been behind the door for attacks on away fans in the past but I agree LFC are the bigger problem, probably because like the rags they have that sense of entitlement 15-20 years of success appeared to give them.

Scousers in one's and two's are ok when you encounter them but some towns if there are a larger group living there they tend to gravitate to one another and become a nuisance. They have this "Scousers against the world" mentality you don't tend to find in people from elsewhere.

Making a lot of noise about safety ahead of the trip to Rome. Shame they did not show the same concern about the behaviour of their own fans
