Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[Eds]

I travelled away a lot during the 70's and to be honest City and Utd were not good places to got to, neither were Newcastle many other or my personal dislike Leeds. You seem to see the train incident as the worse thing that happened at this time caused by us, eg Blackpool fan stabbed to death in 1974, Leeds rioting after 1975 EC Final in Paris, they were banned, 1978 full scale riot in and outside stadium at Milwall etc etc I could go on. Also you have got YNWA wrong, name the teams, usually Celtic. As for bricking your coach, unexcusable, but check Youtube to see City supporters doing something maybe not as bad but similar. My point on here is simple, Liverpool and Manchester are very similar, same levels of crime, drug use, unemployment etc, just check the facts. We can argue about teams, City cannot be faulted and KDB is an amazing player, but in my opinion before Heysel we were never looked on as one of the violent set of supporters. The internet has allowed people to vent about things they know little about and most Liverpool, City etc etc supporters are more or less the same, this is my view, which is not welcome here but there you go.

Check the facts you say.

1. We have never killed our own nor fans of our opponents and blamed others
2. We have never trashed an opponent's coach to the extent it was a write off
3. We have never chucked flares onto disabled away fans
4. We have never worn t-shirts supporting a racist
5. We have never booed a member of royalty nor the national anthem of the UK
6. We have never had our own supporters filmed masturbating in fountains
7. We have never gone on twitter and proudly boasted about robbing service stations
8. We have never dropped a lump of concrete on a Bulgarian waiter and then denied all knowledge of it

Do you want any more facts or is this enough to be going on with

I think the problem is the media always give them a pass no matter what they do, same with the footballing bodies.

When West Ham fans smashed up the United bus they were punished. By the FA of course but it wasn't brushed under the rug.

When Liverpool smashed up our bus Uefa did nothing citing that it was outside the ground and beyond their remit. Well.. I noticed the latest round of UEFA fines where we got punished for the Atletico game and underneath Rangers had been fined because their fans blocked a public entrance ! Now I'm assuming if it was public and outside the ground ?? Not many details but I'd really love to know why they can punish in that situation but not in a more serious one ?
Truth is they can say whatever, do whatever and nobody holds them accountable

According to the Liverpool Echo, it’s because it’s not their fault once again.

If we're being absolutely honest it's our (Mancheter's) fault. We dug a canal, we should have dug a moat.

Jordon is a bell end but some of the comments below it are classic of that fanbase.

Some of this comments are nuts - there's one guy arguing there wouldn't be sports media without them.

There fucking would mate and would be palatable without the dippers steering every conversation and oaring in that the werlds best midfielder* laaaah plays in red

They get a free pass because once upon a time they over-exaggerated their actions and political pandering got them a whitewash absolution, fuelled and vindicated the victim mentality and now nobody is allowed to question or challenge them or their antics.

Colin Mafham disagrees.

Bingo moaning they had to play Saturday afternoon then play the following Tuesday night.

How disgraceful of The FA and The Premier League scheduling those matches 76 hours apart

Has there ever been a week he is not moaning about something

I posted this on the BBC site today:-


'I wish I could remember which club's fans got *all* English teams banned from Europe for five years. Was it City's? Chelsea's? United's? My old memory just can't recall.


It got removed as

"We reserve the right to fail comments which...

I'm sorry but I see nothing in my post that remotely breaks those rules.

Please no one ever tell me this country's media are not biased.
