I had a ‘conversation’ with a dipper on that very subject. Without cracking a smile, he actually said that, when talking about those things in a context of history, I was “going too far back”!!

I have them regularly, the most recent being about attendances, when I said City held the record for attendance until
Spurs moved to Wembley, the two Dippers I was speaking to said, 'Nah, fucking bollocks, not having that.'
I said, it's a fact, a crowd of almost 86,000 at Maine Rd, in 1934.
'That's nearly 100 years ago!!'
Well, yes but that's 'Istory innit?

I posted this a few weeks ago which was on Rawk, And they wonder why folk don't want them to win the league!

"Sometimes it hits me how lucky I am to have grown up supporting Liverpool. I can't even fathom what it would be like supporting a team like Chelsea or City or Everton, where your mentality is so small-time that your favourite part of football is seeing another club fail. One of the reasons they hate Liverpool so much is because our fans really, really enjoy seeing our own club succeed. We're eternal optimists and if Liverpool win a trophy (or even if they just come close) it gets celebrated in the most joyous, visceral way. They're so worried about "never hearing the end of it" if we win the league this year that they're actively willing their own teams to lose. I think it's odd, Liverpool fans are the only set of support in the country that go to away games and just sing about their own club (United and Everton games excepted, and even then it's not even close to what those sets of fans sing). You won't hear such tiresome 'bantz' as 'Your support is fucking shit' or 'This is a library' coming from the travelling Kop. We don't sing about their past failures, we don't sing about poverty in their city, we don't sing about their teams potentially getting relegated - yet they hate us. The BBC published an article called 'Do neutral fans not want Liverpool to win the league, or is it just a social media myth?' a month ago and the best quote in the whole thing was this:

"Samuel Mooney, Nottingham Forest fan: I'd love to see them win it. Their fans don't bother me, they're just passionate and they believe in their team. The fact so many people hate them for their optimism is so typically English!"

I think he hit the nail on the head. God forbid a set of support might be optimistic or supportive or passionate. God forbid we give our team bus a welcome or sing 'and now you're gonna believe us'. God forbid that we care about seeing our own team do well. Frankly, even if we win nothing for the next thirty years I'd rather approach life with the attitude of a Liverpool fan than the attitude of a Chelsea fan. They deserve everything they get"

Extremely touching that, I'm filling up here.

If you want, basically I am not bothered really. Went home and away for years and then when the really big money came in and footballers more interested in money, and grounds charging fortunes to get in, semi finals at Wembley etc etc. I just thought I am not paying for all this, so I stopped. I still follow Liverpool on TV but I am not paying to watch them or any other side, most big clubs do not care about the fans. You only have to look at allocations for big games. Which club has objected. If in your opinion this makes me a "plastic " fan so be it. It will not cause me to lose any sleep.

At least you`re honest ... to an extent. ;)
 
Talking to a proper scoucer the other day. We were saying how crap it was with the international break and how it buggered up our league run in. Then casually asked who we had next then told him Fulham away his head dropped and said why do u get the easy games? Oh dear what a shame.

"Why the fuck is Jesus not starting instead of Firmino? Fucking c*nt. I hope he injures himself for the rest of the season while warming up"
(RAWK International Thread)

I'm pretty sure that I'd be banned from Bluemoon if I wrote something similar about a Liverpool player.

Different standards. Pretty sure you won't be banned for thinking if you are so inclined.
