Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[roman totale]

And even amongst the Irish diaspora, the liverpool Irish are considered the worst of the worst. They are considered to fall into two camps - the laziest/thickest and the criminals/predators.
The laziest because they were the few Irish people who stopped in the very first place they arrived in Britain. The ones who couldn’t be arsed to venture forth and seek better opportunities elsewhere in this strange and alien land they found themselves in.
The brave, the ambitious and the enterprising moved on sharpish. The laziest, the thickest and the most cowardly remained in liverpool, close to the ferry back home.
Not all though. The criminal elements from Dublin and Cork sensed lucrative opportunities to prey on their fellow countrymen, especially the less sophisticated new arrivals from the west of Ireland. So these Irish criminals settled around the Scotland Road area, robbing and fleecing their fellow countrymen while pretending to be their helpful new friends. Their descendants remain there today and liverpool revels in their ‘craftiness’, while at the same time becoming outraged if anyone from without calls out their genetic dishonesty.

Speaking as an offspring of the Dublin diaspora, I was told this regularly by my grandparents, who at least had the gumption to make it as far as Moss Side.

Some people still wonder why everyone fucking hates fhem.
You think you're special but 1 title in 30 years says otherwise you cunts and you can stick your European Cups up your arse. Laughingly waving 6 fingers at us like we fucking care. Thats 1 win for that lot in our last 8 meetings now so fuck off. Your time was the 70's history boys, it must be why you're so obsessed with the past, our time is now.

Lived in Rusholme myself and it was a reasonable Irish area before anyone had heard of curry.

The club is a reflection on, and product of, the culture of the city.
Like the club and its fanbase, liverpool as a city is riddled with contradictions and cognitive dissonance. A city built on denial. Lies. Hypocrisy.
It is a bipolar place which begets a collective schizophrenia.
A formerly global port city which boasts about its outward looking view of the world - “der Beatles listened to blues records from America off der boats” which is pure self serving myth and bullshit- but which has historically been a hotbed of brazen, aggressive racism against everyone from the early Chinese settlers to the black population of the present day.
Liverpool remains an extremely racist city. Much more so than here and much worse than any big city north of, say, Northampton.
A city quite literally built on the slave trade which has only in the last few years even acknowledged, admitted and begun the process of accepting and dealing with its shameful past.
A city whose population is largely built on Irish catholic immigration but which has its key institutions rooted in protestant unionism and sectarian hatred, which still had orange marches until the last decade or so.
And even amongst the Irish diaspora, the liverpool Irish are considered the worst of the worst. They are considered to fall into two camps - the laziest/thickest and the criminals/predators.
The laziest because they were the few Irish people who stopped in the very first place they arrived in Britain. The ones who couldn’t be arsed to venture forth and seek better opportunities elsewhere in this strange and alien land they found themselves in.

Their descendants remain there today and liverpool revels in their ‘craftiness’, while at the same time becoming outraged if anyone from without calls out their genetic dishonesty.
Thieves, con artists and predators going back generations who have fed into the culture of the city. And they are allowed to revel in it but nobody else is allowed to even suggest it.


TL:DR: They are lazy crooked loons and you can’t reason with them

The Manchester Ship Canal was built so that ocean going ships could sail straight into the city.
This was to stop those "loveable rogues" from helping themselves to goods during trans shipment.

 

[Whether or not]

Liverpool’s deluded glory hunters are horrified by the Newcastle takeover. Not as they claim, because they give a shit about human rights, but because it will make 3 English teams with owners who put money in, not take it out, like their American owners. Three teams who will keep investing and ultimately leave just one Champs League place for them, the rags etc. to chase. It won’t happen straight away, but hopefully the self proclaimed European Royalty will be in the Europa Conference at best.

That's a very elegant and polite way of saying they are scouse cunts isn't it

Protestant father, Catholic mother - family made money out of the slave trade and owned Speke Hall and have a notorious area named after them.
Liverpool as a city as you say is a mass of contradictions and though on the surface they seem to accept anyone for the blacks there it was only on the condition they kept in their own areas, especially in the 80s.
I have never gone with the glamourisation of the people and it's history. Few who have been successful have remained there, though you can say that about most cities in fairness. The truth is that most do the city more of an injustice than anyone else ever will

I love rawk !!!

We have an asset and a history that is priceless. You cant replicate Anfield, you cant replicate the history and you cant replicate the city. We play with 12 men to compensate for clubs like these.
