Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[Bluesince1979]

By any objective analysis, the French authorities were a shambles and a disgrace in the way they handled many of the Liverpool supporters outside the ground. It would be dishonest to suggest otherwise; however, the notion that snide tickets and prevailing cultural mores amongst Liverpool supporters didn’t play a significant role in the chaos is also dishonest, as is ignoring it as a factor, as most of the media have manifestly done, because, as ever, they are terrified of the consequences if they don’t.

By consequences , do you mean the en masse avoidance of purchasing/clicking on whatever media outlet dares to go against the grain and report negatively against liverpool by their cult following, i mean supporters?

I think the opposite of mass avoidance is what they truly fear.

Mine never appear, it’s like I’ve been flagged & stopped in advance. I’ve had more luck with replies to comments.

Same, I think I’m blacklisted. There’s a dick on there all over City threads claims to be an ex cockney red and claims now to be Millwall and claims to be an ex para. He’s obviously some fucker on a wind up but he’s allowed to post whatever he wants and however often he wants usually whilst most replies being refused . It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s glory hunting bandwagon jumping journos taking turns posting as him.

Aside from the mass ticket fraud going on leading up to this game, genuine LFC ticket holding fans were treated appallingly leading up to kick off.
I am glad it wasn’t us having to go through that ordeal on the day.

The venue was clearly wrong for a 50/50 split of tickets.
Hate them or not, herding fans into that tunnel was disgusting. Teargassing kids was disgusting.Leaving them stand outside in a queue for 3 hours was disgusting.

I am trying to look at this objectively. The ticket fraud was a big part of the problem, and they only have themselves to blame for that as a fanbase, but the genuine ticket holder has been shafted by Uefa, the FFF and the police.

@Colin Bells Holdall Re your last paragraph; yes they all shafted the genuine fan but you have missed out one important name. LFC. They have never called out their fans behaviour, Klopp encouraged ticketless fans to travel saying Paris was big enough. They have caused mayhem in every European final they have been in, jibbing in or robbing their own of tickets. If that kept happening at City I would be demanding they call out the blaggers.
When it goes OK, jibbing in is seen as scouse humour, when it goes wrong it is never, ever their fault.
Fuck 'em and all who sail in her.

I struggle to criticise the police when I consider the options & how I’d have reacted. Let’s be honest you have tear gas, a baton & scousers around you.

Being serious. For the safety of all you need people to fuck off because there are too many people & they won’t. What do you do?

Do nothing
Ask them to leave nicely
Let them in
Force them away

I’m sure an honest investigation would find faults / blame in a number of areas. It takes great maturity to compromise responsibility.

It's never their fault though, even though they are always involved. Dippers that is

The irony when Mario wore his shirt was he came from a conversation that said “why is it always you?”

Maybe the kings of banners could get the most appropriate banner “why always us”

BBC gossip column: Vigil van Dijk praising one of the rags’ transfer targets. Hope it’s candlelit.

Totally, completely and utterly blameless, but who smashed up our coach and hacked our scouting system?

 

[manimanc]

Every team has fans that are dickheads and likes to cause mither.

These cunts take it to the next level and spoil it for everyone else.

They get away with smashing things up and causing mayhem wherever they go without so much a caution or a slap on the wrist.

They are the most vile, feral set of wankers to ever step foot on the planet and yet THEY are suing UEFA for what's gone on.

The British press need to stop living in their parallel universe and get in touch with the real world.
