I see slots gone full klopp with his little 115 joke this morning. Didn’t take long did it. I can start hating the wanker now
It doesn't have to be en masse. They've got spotters all over the away end - and don't be surprised if City have too - and just a single person saying something can lead to them getting nicked. I had to have a word with 2 fans on Sunday who were chanting "Murderers" in response to the "Liverpool" chant because it could've seen them get lifted. And yes, for some reason Murderers is classed as a tragedy chant over there even though it's about Heysel and not Hillsborough, and is effectively a reverse tragedy chant given that it mocks the perpetrators rather than the victims. How do I know this? Well, a mate of mine got arrested for it last season and was originally slapped with a 3 year FBO. He got a lawyer involved who successfully drove a coach and horses through the prosecution case as there were holes in it, and as such got the FBO removed and a more lenient punishment handed down. Yet City have still banned him for 3 years and said what he did was equivalent to racism FFS! Oh, and while he was banned by City pending the appeal they were still taking his season ticket direct debit money AND his cup scheme money.
That's always been my biggest fear.
I was attacked outside Anfield, just a few months after Heysel, and irony upon irony it wasn't even a City game
Liverpool had just beaten Tottenham 4-1 and to cut a long story short, I was in the away end with a Spurs-supporting camp hairdresser, plus another City fan and a 14 year old rag from my local cricket club
It sounds like a comedy sketch, but it was the most frightening incident I've ever encountered after the hairdresser had parked on the other side of the Arkles pub and we were followed by a gang of around 9-10 scallies.
As if that wasn't bad enough some of them were also carrying knives and trying to rob the hairdresser's shoes whilst trying to knock the rest of us to the ground.
Now I'm no fighter, but one law I've always recognised is that whatever the odds you stay on your feet.
It seemed to last an eternity and it only stopped when an old woman opened her door and started bollocking the young and understandably upset United fan for trying to hide in her front garden
However my abiding memory will always be the dozens of passers-by who knew we were just innocent football supporters, but did nothing to help us.
My opinion on Hillsborough is too inflammatory to publish, but I remain convinced that if one of us had been killed outside Anfield there wouldn't have been a single witness come forward.
Compare that to last Sunday when immediately following Salah's penalty a young lad to my right took offence at some tourists taking photos, but in mid rant, somehow managed to fall into the next row and smash his face.
Blood everywhere, but stewards on the scene within 30 seconds
How the fuck did they know that had happened without CCTV pointing at us throughout the match regardless of what was happening on the pitch?
The attendance on Sunday was 12,000 higher than the Tottenham game in 85 but nothing has changed
I could get stabbed to death at Anfield but nobody will have seen anything. Nobody ever does.
On the contrary if I sing FEED THE SCOUSERS I'll be named and shamed within 10 minutes and subsequently arrested
That's the Law!!!
