It's history repeating itself. Dipper fans involved in violent attacks, bottles and bricks are thrown, lives are put at risk etc - but not to worry, say the patronising media and the inept beurocrats at Miseryside police headquarters, it's only those cheeky, loveable scousers with their high-jinks: those good old down-to-earth working class lads enjoying a bit of footie banter. Calm down eh, the 'Jeermans bombed our chippy.'
They will do it again and again and again, but with each passing episode they will up the ante and eventually, when the look-the-other-way attitude of the imbecilic police force there causes yet another murder, it will be just like the 80's never ended...something about not learning from history means you are condemned to repeat yourself?
But when you look at the club's representatives on Sky/BBC etc -Carragher, spitting at children, ignoring lockdown protocol: John Aldridge, a drunken, foul-mouthed psychotic...I could go on, but you get the gist.
So yeah, it's cyclical. Either the powers that be come down hard on that club or another tragedy is waiting around the corner.
