Here we go, complaining again.

When will the Spirit of Shankly ever give up?

Abdication of leadership by Premier League and Liverpool FC​

The club were left in a near-impossible situation. There was no mandate from the Premier League, just a “strong ‘suggestion” to play the anthem, and they must bear responsibility too. They are part of a working group to tackle tragedy chanting and have now potentially destroyed the good work done to this point by capitulating to pressure from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport with their “suggestion”.

They are such tedious, virtue-signalling cunts.

Nunez has been described as a “young foal” by some hack in the media, perhaps he should be at Aintree not Anfield!

I’ve got a solution that will make everyone happy and stop all the issues. Make ‘em play behind closed doors.

“A working group to tackle tragedy chanting”.

Stop the world, I want to get off…

So that means no more Munich songs? Or Steaua Bucharest banners?

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

What gets me is that soldiers sign up to fight for the queen or king and then as soon as they get wounded or injured, so that they’re of no use to them, they get discharged.
Then they suffer in poverty and it’s us who have to put our hands in our pockets to look after them in charity while the tax dodging £billionaire royals look the other way.

It’s like that Rudyard Kipling poem about Tommy. The way injured veterans are treated in this country is disgusting.

There are a few on here as well, trying to squeeze whatever happens into their own, particular view of politics or religion. It's tedious when Liverpool fans do it, and it's tedious when people do it on here.

 

[halfcenturyup]

just to say...

we all know these bin-dipping cunts are wankers,
but lumping all scousers together as cunts/wankers isn't right.

May not be factually or morally right, but it's funny and largely appropriate. If non-LFC scousers don't condemn the cuntishness/ wankerism of their fellow citizens, then they are fair game.

I know a song about that ;)

This is undeniable, and veterans as a whole tbh. But are you saying that is because of the royal family?

Naah. That's about Hillsborough. Compensation claim incoming for the mental anguish caused by suggesting anything else.

"Tragedy Chanting", says The Spirit of Shankly.
Do they mean like this?

It’s because the work shy bin dipping social parasites have too much time on their hands

It would be funny if they finish ahead of United after all that talk of resurgence and what not

Every union flag is upside down

Only the one at the back is.

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.

So were Manchester people and Yorkshire people… Liverpool was treated no differently to any factory, dock or pit towns and cities of the North yet Liverpool victimises itself as a one-off of Thatcher economic decline.

Liverpool also victimises itself as a city that gets grief from other areas of the country because of anti-Irish sentiment. While failing to understand that 35% of Manchester and 35% of Birmingham come from Irish stock and that there are probably more Irish in London than Liverpool and Manchester put together.

It’s never their fault through, they’re always the victims.

I think you are wrong in this analysis, as the pit towns of the north and midlands were treated palpably worse by Thatcher and were more egregiously affected by her policies, and the residual evidence supports this.

I think the principal reason for this is Liverpool’s size, history and the fact it retained its docks, albeit in reduced scope, all of which enabled it to reinvent itself far more purposefully than pit towns such as Barnsley and Mansfield. This distinction is even more pronounced in the pit villages that surround those towns (and others) where the coal mine was the raison d’etre for the settlement in the first place. These are places where current levels of drug addiction and unemployment are far higher than in Liverpool.

Relative to such locations, Liverpool has actually benefitted long term from Thatcherism, the former of which have totally lost their way and are discernibly poorer than they were 40 years ago. That certainly could not be said about Liverpool. One only has to compare the cost of housing and the retail offering in Barnsley and Liverpool (and compare it with the picture prior to the miner’s strike in 1984) to completely appreciate that.

I happened to visit Barnsley earlier this year (and frequently visit Liverpool) and whilst the town centre was tidy, and many of the buildings well-maintained, the levels of social deprivation and chronic disability and illness among those that I saw in the town centre was striking and certainly far more pronounced than I’ve ever encountered in Liverpool. This isn’t just down to Thatcherite ’design’, it is also as a result of circumstance (both local and more widely) but to suggest that Liverpool has a particular, distinct (never mind greater) grievance with Thatcher and her policies than other places in the north, as is clearly implied when justifying booing the national anthem for that reason, is both wrong and intellectually dishonest.
