Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[Deleted member 13905]

My husband doesn't believe in any of that. He's a scouser born and bred but he never holds to that "Scouse not English". In fact, he always says to me "Where is Liverpool, then? What country is it in, for fuck's sake? We're English!"

tempora mutantur...

i'm pretty sure that liverpool was the capital of north wales in the 1500's.
the mayor in the early 1500's was one darydd ap gruffydd.

although it changed with the later influx of irish people,
the scouse accent has many similarities to welsh.

Everton fans proving a few people wrong, there

My husband is a scouser and a Liverpool supporter. He doesn't himself boo the anthem but he has a lot of friends who do because Liverpool people were treated like shite by the South for so many years. Thatcher, the government, etc. Hillsborough cover-up didn't help. He believes a Southern team may have gotten justice a lot sooner. It's not really aimed directly at the Monarchy, more the establishment, if that makes sense.

does your husband know you are talking about him on here?
can he not speak for himself?

summat doesn't smell quite right.

I think there is equal welsh diaspora in Liverpool.that idiot Tony Wvans trying to portray Liverpool as a City hugely populated with Irish and were welcomed is plain wrong. A lot of Irish hot footed quick out of Liverpool when they realised that protestant dock unions were not so welcoming (my grandad for one!) And many found a better home 30 odd miles up the East Lancs Rd

Liverpool had this welcome for the Irish:

Liverpool Protestant Party - Wikipedia

Until the mid-1950s, the city was the nearest thing to Belfast (or Glasgow) in England.

In fairness, sectarianism was not exactly unknown in Manchester either, but I think you would have to go back at least 20-30 years earlier to find a time when it was significant.

They're just wonderful images that last a lifetime. The iconic imagery of 1966 has and will stand the test of time. People dressed and behaving respectably, virtually no advertising, no stupid haircuts or tattoos and all of the attention drawn to the playing area. I reckon I could look at a photo from any World Cup that took place between 1966 and 1998 and put it in its time and place. Nowadays, everything is so saturated that it's stopped being iconic. England winning the World Cup in 1966 will never be surpassed if they won it again. The 1966 triumph almost came to define an era in British life. We can all picture Bobby Moore being raised by his teammates. Were it to happen now, it would simply be a team winning a football tournament.

Up to '98 are you sure? '72 maybe

What a dick of a reply.

Not really , it was a question? He may have thought Royalty first..im sure many fight more for their mates and their bit for family, people who actually give a sht about them. Just saying!

There wasn't a World Cup in 1972, so I'm more sure about what I can identify than I am that you know any better.
