My Evertonian grandad taught me how to support Liverpool: from deep in my soul

I dreamt of my grandad for the first time in several years on Thursday night. We hugged and there was so much love that I awoke tearful. Why had I dreamt about him, I wondered, and then, as I glanced at the giant Liverpool flag flying from my bedroom window, I was able to smile. I am a Liverpool sup

Spot on. I wasnt there but as a Liverpool supporter I have to accept what happened. Irrespective of anything else around the circumstances and situation, the fact is that without there being people/Liverpool supporters present, charging fences and instilling fear in those across the chicken wire...then it wouldnt have happened. Remove the people, it simply doesnt happen.
It will always be there and can never be removed, not should it.

That said, I find it sad, that it gets ramped up into such a polarising issue these days, or perhaps every year at this time. I guess in part that once again its the media, or social media that fans the flames. You get those on (my) side who fail to acknowledge and "own it" who by their actions incite the hostility and astonishment from other clubs fans.

the only thing I do find odd or perhaps a little hypocritical is the complete blame for the English ban, or perhaps the failure to "own it" by some fans (and yes I appreciate that this will be a small proportion amongst those who were adversely impacted). Yes Heysel was the straw that broke UEFAs back and it was the darkest day for Liverpool and English football, but it was a culmination of fans/hooligans and culture of many clubs for years before. It was the few from many clubs that chipped away at UEFAs patience but those supporters/thugs/idiots on that day that broke the patience.
...but then thats just my view.

As for any intended celebration on 29th (just for the cup wins I suspect it will be) I agree it is poor "optics". 1 day after the final or 1 week after the final? In order to show a degree of empathy and respect then no reason why the following weekend could not be used, especially as there may be many a fan coming back from Paris who doesnt make it back in time.

...and so on to today...I would say good luck, but i wouldnt mean it.
personally, Im not holding out much hope, but then you never know...after all, at 93.10 I think most of you lot just had hope!

Sorry mate it’s all yours. 39 died others had fights on ferries & in the bars & no bans would have happened. This was prime time TV with kids watching all over Europe & the shame was so much. Everyone got banned because of that.

The articles from Italy said the English, they don’t care about regions. Why should other clubs own that shit show.

I quite like you as a poster (Wash my mouth out) and I see where you are coming from, you can't continuously morally pay for something you personally didn't do.

It's the gall of the Liverpool commentators and club as well as a heavy pocket of fans that get the rest of footballs back up, making excuses, blaming other fans and getting upset when people question it.

I hardly think Griselda Rudd or anyone who supports the club she does is in a position to lecture others about fan behaviour.

She sounds a right bellwhiff. She liked to like things her grandad didn't like just because he didn't like it.

Grandad was a staunch Evertonian and I would always profess to like what he did not like simply because his spluttering indignation was so comical.

Lots more. But according to them Everton fans have brought shame on the city ha ha

They cant bring shame on the city as 98% of the fuckers arnt from the City. They cause chaos and destruction then piss off back to Ireland, London, Middlesex, Oslo, Plymouth and Lohore!

You would be suprised too at how many Liverpool fans dont like Scousers which I find very strange. Go and support a team local to you then you fucking numpties
 
Dear football gods.

today you can prove you are real.
All I ask is Liverpool get beat.

a bonus would be a pitch invasion, klopp gets punched & possibly 4 injuries to key players.

however I will gladly accept just their defeat.

thank you
