I'm a bit shocked at the way some blues are coming at him. It is a bit over the top. Shades of Rawk and Rag-caf attitudes.Got to be honest here pal, you've got some balls coming on here. But i will say you seem a fair minded type so fair play. I don't disbelieve you saying you haven't booed Sterling, but every game he's played for us, particularly the last game, the booing and whistling everytime he was on the ball is fuckin toxic, and the majority of those Liverpool fans at the game are guilty of this.
Compare that to the stick we give Milner and the difference is? You tell me!

As to the issue of booing, I've never understood fans dislike for players who leave. Just boggles my mind. Yes, Liverpool fandom is silly and childish when it comes to Sterling, but this isn't unique to them.. I really need Sterling to have a massive game. Perhaps a hattrick. As I think a large part of it is that they think their boing affects him.
What about singing Harold Shipman killed your Gran? That's not very nice either.Thanks mate. You have to have thick skin. And I’ve liked the discussion I’ve had. It’s really interesting hearing other fans point of view, I’m not boxed in my Liverpool world only listening to Liverpool fans and Liverpool pundits. I wanna hear everyone’s opinions I think it’s so cool. I just hope my opinions come across as nice discussion/banter and nothing more. I might have to try harder at that.
Truth is Sterling was my favourite player at Liverpool during his time. Obviously Suárez was great, but I always liked Sterling. And when he left I never understood the hate from pool fans. What’s more I never understood the “ah well, he’s rubbish. Moving on” I always said and still think to this day he will do great things. Maybe not world class, but I think he’ll be a very good PL player. Just because he left doesn’t mean my opinions of him are blinded.
Like I’ve said. I’ve never booed him. What’s more I’ve never booed anyone. You know how when players take corners,throw ins, goal kicks or celebrations and you see fans swearing at them calling them names, middle finger making hand signs etc? I find that disgusting!
I mean what’s the point? What’s more is you can bet that if their team signed that player they’d suddenly all love him. Fans are fickle
Sorry but disagree, your equating the fact City have strolled the league so no one other than a City player deserves it.
Salah individually has been on a different planet to anyone this season, it’s irrelevant if he plays in a team which has a shit defence so consequently loses more games.
Kev is on par as a equally world class player but this season Salah deserves the accolade.
Well to be fair it IS a different competition so isn't a get out. And no they wouldn't give us a guard of honourIf we win the league against the rags will the dippers give us a guard of honour ? or will the use the different competition getout
We don't have many proven winners in our squad like Juve have but what we do have is a mythical stadium where magic always happens in Europe. The type of pedigree that the players will feel inside themselves on the strength of our history. Djimi Traore, Igor Biscan, Anthony Le Tallec, Sinama Pongolle, Neil Mellor, the list goes on, they struggled week in week out and turned into monsters when they stood in a Liverpool shirt and heard that champions league music. Our players will feel ten feet tall and for City it will be as much of a test of their bottle and their maturity as it will be of their fantastic style of play. Sterling flaps it when he comes to Anfield for a league match, in fact a lot of their players seem to struggle at Anfield, they'll think they know what to expect but nothing can prepare them for what will hit them in that first leg. They might be relishing the tie but we can make life extremely, extremely difficult for them.
Outside of the atmosphere at Anfield I think we also need to remember that we are an excellent football team, and while City have been magnificent this season, they haven't yet won anything worthy of giving them the adulation that they are receiving. Of course, we need to respect them. But there seems to be more fear over this City side than there is of a Real Madrid team who, like us, are a different beast in Europe to domestically and are chasing a hatrick (a fucking hatrick) of european cups. More fear for City than of Barcelona, who still have players in their team who made up probably the best side of all time and have been favourites to win the competition every year for the last decade. City are a fantastic team, capable of coming to Anfield and winning it in the 1st leg alone. But we are also a fantastic team with genuine pedigree and a history absolutely littered with victories on these types of occasions.
It's going to be a massive battle, heart attack inducing stuff. But what an opportunity presents itself to both clubs. The games can't come soon enough.
Who have they signed from us?Interesting opinion. I disagree. I think Barca and Real can prize assets away from anyone if they’ve wanted to. Including you.
You don't mate, a good point or comment is valid whoever you are, I just think some people are exasperated at the rank hypocrisy when money is mentioned in some context or other, Liverpool have plenty of money as demonstrated by spending £75 million on a bang average central defender ;-)Oh of course, I just find that I have to be extra cautious compared to some other forums.
Nope. Like I said most Liverpool fans had a ‘good riddance’ reaction to that transfer.
I took it hard because I really liked him but most other fans didn’t care. Especially because £50million was coming the other way.
IVE BOOED? Nope wrong. I haven’t. Ever. Not against Sterling.
Now I can’t speak for every Liverpool fan. But I’ve never booed.
Don’t paint us all with the same brush. There’s enough of that going around already as it is. Bad mistake.
Good post. And yes, fans are indeed fickle, particularly on internet fan forums. Not too long ago I'd be reading the post match comments on here when we had lost a game and anyone who went against the general consensus of opinion was ridiculed even threatened, yet most of those arguing the toss were blues! I say most as there are/have been a few trolls who delight in wum-ing, but most I think have been weeded out. Whether you're a blue on here or a fan of another team, it's all about opinion at the end of the day. As long as an opinion is reasoned, it is valid so IMO, carry on posting mate.Thanks mate.

He seems a good egg to me mate.I'm a bit shocked at the way some blues are coming at him. It is a bit over the top. Shades of Rawk and Rag-caf attitudes.

Right mate, explain in considered fair terms why all the booing for Sterling?
I appreciate you coming on here, I think your heart is in the right place and you have answered a lot of posts directed at you that you could have ignored. But can you explain to me what all the booing has been about?

I've worked and drank all over the UK, and i enjoy nothing more than talking football in pubs. Met fans of many different clubs and had good banter and laughs in doing so. Many a time I've worn a City shirt/T-shirt or metal club badge and have drunk in some real rough pubs many wouldn't of gone in, and had I been a united fan I wouldn't of chanced wearing anything with a rag badge on.
Never had a problem talking with Liverpool Everton leeds Newcastle Sunderland Celtic rangers all the London teams and even most united fans.
Although about 3 seasons back I remember a time in a pub in London when I was watching a united match on TV. Most were fans either Arsenal spurs or Chelsea fans. But I remember hearing a cockney rag giving it out so said something controversial about united to be asked - "who's your team"? Manchester City I replied. He turned his back on me in disgust. So I tapped him on the shoulder asking what his problem was and he came out with some shit about us being plastic so I soon became all bull like to a red rag! His mates were listening in and it soon got heated.
So Iirc, I said "So I take it you go to Old Trafford then, and where in Manchester do you live?".."Erm, I'm not from Manchester".
"So how come you're a united fan then?
"Erm, My uncle is From Manchester and he took me to a friendly once and I've been to the superstore". I replied "listen mate, I'm from Manchester, and I've been to Old Trafford a lot more times than you and I'm a blue, now fuck off dickhead".
His mates took the piss out of him on hearing this and one said "he's a proper City fan from Manchester" and the rag felt so embarrassed, he didn't have a anything else to say.
I haven't got a problem with glory hunters generally, even rags. I don't have a problem with blues who aren't from Manchester either. I have mates who are from all over the UK and from USA Australia Holland and Scandanavia.
But one thing I do have a problem with is plastic fans of rival clubs saying we are a plastic club with no history. Red rag to a bull like I said; )
The lad has been booed left, right and centre up and down the country. His every touch at Anfield has been greeted with some of the loudest boos I have either heard and you, the only LFC fan I can remember with the balls to come on here and discuss it, has no idea why?! I am sure you are telling us the truth, but this makes me despair at the general mentality of your fanbase. Your comment about the way he acted sounds interesting, but his actions would have to border on criminal to justify the abuse dished out.I honestly couldn’t tell you. Seems to me a typical “you left us so I don’t like you” boo. But what I don’t get is if they truly didn’t care he left. Why are they so upset and booing him?
I have no idea. Unless there’s something I don’t know about or can’t remember? My friends refer back to the way he acted around the time of the rumours and his eventual departure. Can’t remember what they said in specific.
City haven’t sold because they haven’t come in for any of your players. Don’t think you’ve had anyone that’s really stood out like Suárez did. What happens though if Real want Aguero? Or Barca want Sané?
LFC- Fans, you said you were born in Liverpool and moved away. Are you Paul or Ringo?john if he doesn't stop talking shit lol.
