I had this conversation with my lad on Saturday... he's afflicted and like his Mum, supports Liverpool (before anybody mentions it, SWMBO wasn't the slightest bit bothered about football when we met in 1989).
He said the comments about Europe from Gary Lineker over the weekend were "inciting hatred towards LFC".. I said there is a lot of vitriol to this day about the ban we all suffered at their hand.. he said "all clubs were causing trouble around then but Liverpool were made scapegoats"...
I try and avoid talking about football (but this came up after I started laughing when the Mane push was ignored) because he simply can't sustain a rationale conversation when I dare to criticise them.. he's gone full Dipper like SWMBO and a few of her family..
I'll be as gracious when they win the league as they were last year.. out of around a dozen of them, not one said congratulations. I asked SWMBO why that is... "you don't matter to us" was the answer
