Liverpool thread 2019/20

"disgusting behaviour of that abomination of a club?". I would agree if you had said disgusting behaviour of some Liverpool fans, rather than resorting to ridiculous hyperbole and in fact said that I deplore what happened and that KdB's reaction was a lot milder than deserved.

I brought up his comments because while I think the actions of the fans in attacking the coach was disgraceful, if you were only to read what is written on this forum you would think that the coach had been set on fire and the players lynched.

Nice deflection in the last part of your post.

Why not " I brought up his comments but I think the actions of the fans in attacking the coach was disgraceful . "

It is just possible that De Bruyne was trying to play down the incident in order not to inflame the situation , and not to appear to be blaming the incident for the loss . Something which Liverpool fans could never do in similar circumstances.

Remember when Mane was sent off at the Etihad, and the reaction of the sporting Liverpool fans ?

Certainly possible. De Bruyne had always come across as an intelligent and calm individual. While I personally believe he was speaking for himself rather than trying to downplay the incident, I can't deny that you may be right.

I'm not quite sure of your reference to the Liverpool fans reactions to Mabes sending off? I'm sure there were idiots either slating Mane or claiming Ederson did it on purpose (unfortunately there will always be fans of any club, including Liverpool, that live in denial). I didn't think it was a red card at first but in retrospect I now believe that it was dangerous and deserved it. Have I missed some particular egregious reaction?

Ederson was booed off the pitch by the visiting Liverpool supporters, as I recall.

Well if KDB had come out and said we the players and staff were shit scared it would give a green light to any set of numpty fans to attack our bus. After all it seems its impossible for the police of this country to stop an attack or find anyone.
Thankfully most fans dont attack team buses .
But if KDB had said they were shit scared it would be admitting that the coach attack had work just how the dipperpool fans wanted.

Now that's a logical argument that I had not considered. Anything that reduces the possibility of similar actions in future is to be applauded.

Ah, I had not realised that. There's no excuse for it - it was a serious injury and ederson had done nothing to justify booing in any event. I have no problem with booing a player when he's playing, that's just part of the game, but not when someone is injured and in the process of treatment or needing stretchered off.

It's amazing how often you don't "realise" the bad things your club does.

I began my comment by condemning the incident, and finished it by saying KdB's reaction was milder than deserved. There is no place in society for such actions and we would be better off if the culprits had been identified and jailed.

Is that clear and direct enough?

Wrong!

He was verbally abused.

I stand near the away fans.

That’s why everyone started chanting “ You Scouse b******’s!”

Doesnt take long for the worms to turn when visiting here ...

If you take the trouble to read the thread @Start2finish , you will learn that there are plenty of sensible posters on this forum who have become increasingly disgusted by the actions of Liverpool supporters , especially since the Klopp era began , whereas previously there was little antagonism between supporters , although visits to Anfield was always dodgy for City fans.

I personally do not think that this is a coincidence as he has built up the " intensity" surrounding the club and its fans. Sadly some of your fans are bordering on feral in their behaviour and I believe that Klopp has tapped into their level with his actions on and off the pitch. Enthusiasm you will no doubt say, but rabble rousing is a phrase which comes to mind.

You no doubt disagree which is your prerogative, but please do not come on here and try to insult out intelligence . We know as fans that the behaviour of a significant number of your supporters is just not acceptable.
