Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[East Level 2]

Not wishing to be antagonistic but why should they be awarded the points?

FFS we didn’t get awarded the points when there was clear evidence of the team bus being bricked before a CL fixture.

The scouts twats were stood on top of a Police vehicle yet no charges were made.

Explain that please.

How many points should we have got for a CL knock-out stage game?

I'd have settle for the penalty being we had to have a ref and assistants who understood the laws of the game for the second leg.

True, about a 40 point fine should suffice.

Plus 1 point per “supporter” wearing a half and half scarf or anyone that went in the Megastore. Bonus round deductions for any fooker who looks like a lost Norwich fan.

I used to think this should apply to every Premier League game, but The Etihad is infested with the fuckers as much as any other PL ground.

Desperate for those points

For once, I agree with him. And I think United should be docked points.

They don't have any to dock.

Desperate for those points

For once I agree 100% with him. I'd hope Pep and every other manager would say the same

Yeah, they shouldn’t get anything for nothing. Play it behind closed doors and also deduct points from the rags for not being able to control their fans.

There was slight apprehension within our group as we set off for Cologne. We were, after all, foreign football fans with no particular affiliation towards FC Koln.

But that apprehension evaporated swiftly when we explained we were, in one word, Liverpool.

The attention and respect that one word garners is both empowering and humbling in equal measure.

Within those nine letters comes over a hundred years of history. That word represents Liddell, Hughes, Dalglish, Rush, Hansen, Gerrard and Torres; it's synonymous with 18 league titles, five European Cups, Rome, Dortmund, Istanbul and decades of forging friendships through our behaviour abroad.

Nothing betters going away to watch your football team play renowned European teams with illustrious histories and traditions, safe in the knowledge those sides are just as eager to play our legendary club.

Friendships are made and anecdotes are formed to be retold through the generations - it's the essence of Liverpool Football Club and its supporters.

With our original Koln acquaintances now doubling as both a tour guide and ringmaster through the streets near the RhineEnergieStadion, word spread of our heritage.

An inundation of requests to sing You'll Never Walk Alone soon followed, as did the offer to pose for photographs - photographs that would no doubt decorate a pub similar to the one we sat it.

It was at that point I realised just what a special entity supporters of Liverpool Football Club are. It was at also at that point I realised what a special city we are.

I said in a previous column how the city and the club are an organic process. Neither would have the reputation it does without the other.

It's a football club which has always tried its best to stand by Shankly's beliefs of socialism; it's a city which has always strived to help each other.

That's why it was poetic Shankly stood with his arms outstretched on St George's Hall in 1971, and not on the steps of Anfield. He wasn't embracing Liverpool Football Club alone - the show of strength before him was that of a city.

It's the reason why we have Spirit of Shankly, a supporters' union named after the great man himself - a union which has always acted with the fans and the city at heart; a union which does a lot of work for the local community, and a lot of work for the city.

It's the reason why hundreds of thousands welcomed the football club home after Rome, Wembley, Paris and Istanbul, proud of what they'd achieved as a city and for their city.

It's the reason why most fans we meet reserve that special respect for us. Language barriers are torn down to share our stories of following the Reds home and abroad.

And it's also the reason why we told those Koln supporters that we were Scouse, not English.

With such a strong loyalty to both our football team and our city, it's difficult for me, and several other supporters I know, to conserve any energy for the national side.

Those on the outside will regard it as insular. For me, it's more about celebrating my city and my heritage. It's about celebrating my beliefs.

Supporting Liverpool is supporting a football club like no other. It's not just a job every Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Supporting Liverpool Football Club defines who you are as a football supporter and as a person. Every positive gesture will maintain our reputation or cause a rethink to those who have us wrong.

It's why we're proud of our club, our city and our people, because they all work together to preserve that reputation.

That's a whopper........

How do you get given the points in a knock out competition;)

Because they "got away with it" last time the rags fans think they can protest again with impunity. Because nothing was done, whatever happens tomorrow then the Premier League are complicit. I realise that it was on advice from the police that the previous game was called off but United should still have been sanctioned for the "break-in" at the ground for not ensuring adequate security was in place.

As another protest has been mooted since the rags lost again last week then the Premier League should have issued a statement saying that there would be consequences for the club involved. If the match is again postponed then they should have to play their next few games behind closed doors at the very least.

Always thought we should have been given the tie.If the police or fire service get attacked by similar morons,they would get a week off with counseling,rightly so.City were expected to play an elite level sport ,in front of that baying mob.
It just rubbed salt in the wound that the scuffers couldn't find any culprits, but after Hillsborough they are untouchable.
