Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[Big Joe Corrigan]

I find liverpool fans' abuse of our national anthem extremely upsetting because it's clearly intended to mock the death of Colin "The King" Bell and must be labelled as vile tragedy chanting.

Sorry, I thought we could just choose for ourselves what someone else's songs were about.

You know that’s not a bad idea…

The great thing about conspiracy theories is that they can evolve in any direction people want. For City to be guilty of these allegations would require collusion on a grand scale involving dozens of independent auditors, the judges at CAS, all our Directors and most of our other senior managers. It would also require collusion from most of our major sponsors. Hundreds of people would have to be bribed to keep quiet.
And this would have to happen while hundreds of lawyers from UEFA, the PL, journalists from across the globe, private investigators from our commercial rivals, were scouring our financial documents for wrongdoing. After ten years of this if there was anything significant to find you would have thought someone would have blown the whistle by now. All we have seen so far is photocopies of 5/6 dodgy emails from Der Spiegl which were laughed out of court.

Yes but the dippers just know, and there’s no getting round that.

The Bin Dippers have always had that it's Us against the world attitude, I believe its because they are untouchable in the media and dare anybody to speak the truth or call them out,

A tragedy waiting to happen because lessons were not learnt the first time in Heysel ? the ruling governing bodies in the UK and Europe should have not allowed Liverpool to play top-level football again for 30 years or even longer after what happened, But all (English clubs) got the blame and were banned from Europe, WHY the FA did not come down hard on Liverpool is still a puzzle today

Could you imagine a Heysel happing in today's world of football by an English club, it's funny how again a football game involving Liverpool again highlighted trouble in last year's champions league final and guess what, it was not their (Liverpool fans) fault,

Its another great example of how the red shirts are reffed. Penalty given without a second thought, he couldnt wait to give it….

Compare that to KDB’s last week and Haalands last night!! Bent as fuck

*i see the ref has said it was never a pen. Unbelievable, apart from the fact it happens all the time with certain teams

On their official website - a statement that basically says they will accept the behaviour of those that show no respect.

Expect all pitch side microphones to be turned down.

• CORONATION: Before kick-off and in recognition of the Premier League’s request to mark the coronation, players and officials will congregate around the centre circle when the national anthem will be played. It is, of course, a personal choice how those at Anfield on Saturday mark this occasion and we know some supporters have strong views on it.

100%

Blimey. I'm no royalist, I think they're outdated and unnecessary. I'll admit though that while they cost us a lot they also bring a lot of money in from tourists etc.

Seems a bit extreme to hate him for being born into his family. He hasn't had a choice about his life to a great extent and has had to grow old without any choice about living his entire life in the public eye.

I hate him and his family for everything they represent. You yourself have just admitted they're outdated and unnecessary, yet we continue to be blindsided as a nation. We fund every one of their extravagances; palaces, ski trips. Fucking hell we even pay off court cases for them. They're answerable to no laws, they are protected from any consequence by some bygone notion of divine provenance. And suggesting he's born into so it's not his fault is a cop out; they're not uneducated enough to comprehend the history of their establishment and why it exists in the first place.

Some folk in this country begrudge a single mother universal credit or vital public services striking for fairer pay. Penny to a pound of shit, those same people will tomorrow be lining the streets of London to wave at a man in a gold carriage who has done nothing to warrant the life of privilege he's had gifted him. And this man is going to become their head of state. That's fucked. If you don't think so, fair enough; crack on.

This forum has an ignore function; if you or anyone else finds my views objectionable, use it.

No problem with opinion, no need to ignore really is there. As long as any debate is genuine and good natured.

For me, the criminals are currently in Government. The money that they have lost us to mates etc is horrendous and they should be doing jail time. They are the ones leading us down a slippery path towards fascism and ruining the welfare system and the NHS, plus anything else they can find ways to make personal profits from while scamming the rest of the country.

The royal family are more of a novelty act. Yeah they get loads of money from us but the general consensus seems to be that they bring in way more to the British economy via tourists than they cost.

I do object to shit like us paying for a new royal yacht and all that crap though. They have enough to that themselves - but again, I think that was driven more by our criminal government than by the royals, though they of course are happy to accept anything. Generally though, the royals are more of an irrelevance to me, while the government clearly arent. I wish the scousers would focus more on standing up against the government then they'd get a lot more backing.

Anyway. Let's try and bring it back to football at some point. Liverpool are average and Everton are going down. There we go. :-)

No problem having those views, and if you don’t want to sing the national anthem at the match no one really cares. However a significant proportion of the population including a sizeable section of our fan base either don’t mind or actively support having a King and royal family so it’s only fair to them not to try and disrupt a rendition of the national anthem. We don’t have to be like the dippers whatever our views on hereditary heads of state are. Just stay in the concourse or sit down for it, then laugh at the dippers trying to make out they’re doing the country a favour by booing the national anthem.

Up until that point, Liverpool’s famous “history” had been underwhelming. They had won five league titles and no FA Cups in their 68-year history, one more trophy than City, with one league title and three FA Cups — in an era when the cup was more prestigious than the league.

Liverpool were a second division club but started spending money like a first division giant, They splashed out £37,500 on centre forward Ian St John from Motherwell, and quickly followed that with £30,000 on centre half Ron Yeats from Dundee United.

Translated into modern terms, it was like the current Huddersfield Town spending £75million on a striker and £60million on a centre back. Not much “organic growth” going on there.

The spending did not stop there — in the next four seasons they totted up £230,000 in purchases for players like Willie Stevenson, Peter Thompson, Phil Chisnall and Geoff Strong. Again, translated to modern-day fees, that is around £230million just to get out of the second division and become competitive in the first division.

Allied with Shankly’s excellence, it was a winning formula as they won promotion in 1961, took the league title in 1964, won their first FA Cup in 1965 — 51 years after “no history” City had won it — and went on, after a brief interlude when Manchester ruled the English football roost in the late 60s, to become the dominant force in the country.

Evidence that every big, successful club needs a sugar daddy at some stage of their history — it’s just a matter of timing.
