Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

In Compo City l think they speak the Sue language.
About 30 - 40 years ago there was a programme called 'Suing the Corpy' which was about the large amounts the council was having to set aside for Compo claims many of them totally false. They interviewed many people what they thought of their local taxes being used on dodgy claims. There was almost universal approval even by two posh ladies from the Wirral or Formby. Liverpool Corporation was renamed redesignated as a council in1972 so it goes back a long long time.
The most common occupation in Merseyside is 'Claimant'.

I saw that programme and folk would pocket £500 or so just for saying they tripped over a stone flag. No questions asked - just paid up!

Agreed mate. He's being childish.

No wonder your end gets overpacked if everyone has two names

Feel free to share this with anyone of your choosing...

Have a security contact who told me BEFORE the Champions League final there had been major problems before our game against Liverpool at the Etihad.

Scores of high quality counterfeit tickets for their end which resulted in confiscations and fans missing the start.

Uefa could do a lot worse than ask City for their observations that day.

Tolmie, please remove your post. You know we have been asked to get with the programme. Some north Africans who were here illegally may have tried to cause trouble but that was dealt with.

Own it - some of your fans are cunts yet the whole club and its fanbase continue to deny, deflect and play victims.

Liverpool is still in black and white in 2022.

Its appalling...I feel victimised for being a victim.
My week away and I find that I need to light a candle for my fellow victims

This Liverpool rivalry is toxic and unwelcome. I never grew up disliking or batting an eyelid at Liverpool. I grew up taught that the Hillsborough and Munich disasters were sacred avoidable losses of life.

The recent media, events and everything surrounding Liverpool in Paris could have happened to any fans (especially from England).

Bit off topic, but I recently tried to make sense of it all, following a viewing of Maxine Peake on the telebox.

Recent news, football games and the behaviour of a minority of fans have made me reflect how Liverpool fans are often painted in a bad light, for something shameful that happened amongst their illustrious history.


Maxine Peake is a dazzling actress. She first came to my attention through Mancunian drama Shameless playing the striking Veronica. Some years later her acting has brought me to tears. The gritty subject is the Hillsborough football disaster. Much like that of the Bradford City fire and disaster (11th May 1985), both events cost lives. Both were preventable. Both were injustices and both shameful blights on British and human history.


“the injustice of the denigration of the deceased” – David Cameron, Prime Minister, parliamentary address, 12/9/12


Hillsborough was much more than that though. Liverpool F.C.’s fans were shamefully and disgracefully vilified by national media outlets, the local and national government, the Police and other official bodies.
