Oh for fucks sake, here it is again. Liverpool fans aren’t generally bad, but like every other club they have “a handful of idiots”.
Tell me.
Which “handful of idiots” bricked our team coach last year?
Which “handful of idiots” bricked a City coach after the Hillsborough 25th anniversary game?
Which “handful of idiots” started on City fans at Lime Street after the same game?
Which “handful of idiots” caused the deaths of 39 Juventus fans in 1985?
Which “handful of idiots” dropped a concrete slab on a waiter’s head in Bulgaria?
Which “handful of idiots” made death threats against Steven Gerrard’s family when he considered moving to Chelsea?
Which “handful of idiots” cheered as Yaya Toure went off injured at Anfield?
Which “handful of idiots” booed Ederson as he received oxygen treatment and on-field treatment after a serious kick to the head?
I could go on because that handful of idiots sure gets around. The thing is, there is a sizeable element of Liverpool’s support for whom ‘feral scum’ is a pretty accurate description. Maybe thats not all Liverpool fans and maybe it isn’t even a majority. But here’s The real problem. What has your club done, ever, to try to control the scum element of your fan base - you know, that “handful of idiots”? Banning orders? Liaison with police? Naming and shaming? Coordinated actions between police and stewards? Last year scores of idiots hurled objects at our first team coach. Your stewards did absolutely fuck all to protect a visiting team. Shame on them, shame on your team.
Come to think of it, shame on you, too. What have you done personally to rid you club of the cancer that infects it? Have you for instance gone on RAWK denouncing the twats that bricked our team coach last year and asking all right thinking Liverpool fans to do likewise? Have you called in to Radio City to complain about this “handful of idiots” that regularly gives Liverpool a bad name? Have you written to the Echo to make these points?
No of course you haven’t. Neither you nor the team you support have done a thing - literally not lifted a finger - to address these issues either. Even Chelsea have done a lot to eradicate the knuckle dragging racist elements of their support. LFC have done fuck all, and they never will do.
This miserable lie that you peddle - that the sub human scum that make up your support is just a handful of idiots, not a deep and ugly stain on the entire fan base, the club and the City - is why people say ‘it’s never your fault’. It isn’t Liverpool fans that smashed the pub after an away game, just a handful of idiots. It isn’t Liverpool fans that fought and looted their way round Europe in the 80s and 90s, just a handful of idiots. So it isn’t really your fault. Well, nothing ever is. And the next time Liverpool fans act like shithouses, as they so often do, it will just be a handful of idiots. Again.
So fuck off back to RAWK with your shit. I for one have heard it all before.
