Being offensive is an offence,' reads Merseyside Police's slogan against hate crime.



Must have been a very inoffensive bricking the Manchester City bus received on its way to Anfield that time, then, because no one was ever arrested.


Not sure its been posted but nice one Martin Samuel.


Well was more worried about the copy and paste working than noticing the post just before;-(

Ah, but Murkyside plod were clearly not offended by the coach bricking so nothing to see. Let's move on.

For the first time in a long time I've read an entire article in The Athletic. Oliver Kay, once of the DT parish, lays into the greedy bastards, we know who they are, who are proposing a Greeds' Charter. Excellent article, and for once, I say to Oliver "Have a cigar for that!"

They are cunts Mike. The media used to quite like us, and I can’t work out whether the hatred is because we are a threat to united and liverpool (but Chelsea never got this shit) or deep rooted anti Arab racism.

I doubt very much that it is anti-Arab racism; they are playing to the gallery. It's the appease the establishment that we have disturbed/disrupted/destroyed. It's from the same pit as the EUFA action against us.

It’s not though, so fuck off.

The Merseyside Police were piss poor at the time of the attack on the coach as well as the non existent action afterwards.
Any commander worth his salt would have ordered the motor cycle escort dictating the speed of the coach to speed up to get the coach through more quickly. Instead they just continued to plod along(excuse pun) as an easy target as were the foot escort.
It would have been entirely different if some poor copper had copped (oops) a half brick in the head and sustained serious injuries.

When you look at the videos from that night, it's seems to me that they contrived the revised route so that a 40 foot(?) coach had to take a narrow right turn which made it slow down to almost stopping. How any officer in charge that day could have not foreseen the problem a coach would have with that route is beyond negligent.

Unfortunately he also said people prefer to watch Barcelona, Real, Rags, Dippers, Chelsea and Spurs etc. It seems he feels we aren't a big draw.

It was interesting that we never got a mention. Not for the greed, not for the 'historical performance(?), nor for a wee mention when he threw in the word 'sustainablility'! It might be that he doesn't see the best football currently played in the PL, and probably consistently the best in Europe as a 'draw', but it's a start for the lad.

They knew and why they picked that route city Questioned it but was told it be fine. He said it be fine with a big fat grin and a wink to his police scouse mate

Fairly sure we get at least among the highest if not the highest TV ratings in the league these days. We might not have the biggest fanbase but we seem to get a lot more rival fans and neutrals watching.

He's only getting a cigar, and a small one at that, a cheroot in fact, for the rest of his scribblings he can fuck off!

Have a look at the headline on Guardian Football. No doubt there is huge inequality in Qatar and the Gulf countries but look where their telescope always points.

I scan the news every day but it disappoints me greatly that even now after all this time there are still City fans who comment in their pages. You might want to combat their headlines and message but all you will do is act as a magnet for the troll army and you end up creating a discussion that feeds them with revenue. Better not to comment.

Like when only 2 turnstyles were opened up in the away end for the league cup semi a few years back. Not a miscalculation or oversight. Being Liverpool, you would have thought that the police and stewards would have been taking action to open more up - but no, happy to stand back and watch whilst people were getting crushed - just so their scummy team could have a bit of an advantage.

That was shocking, there was no crowd control outside the stadium whatsoever. They if all clubs should have been aware of the dangers. That was the day any miniscule of respect I might have had for them totally disappeared.

i think they will be paid by the red twats, I’m certain there will be all sorts of consultants & contractors paid & the company names would be under well known scribes.

it’s a good system we take the blame from their fans whilst they commit grand theft from the inside & we carry on winning.

fck it I can live with that.

that’s a shame I won’t read it.

I didn't see the bend but the whole thing was unprofessional. I felt sorry for the bobbies alongside the coach who were in the firing line just in their normal kit. It was negligent because the whole thing was foreseeable and the senior officers failed in their duty of care to City, to their own officers even to those watching on. There were messages on the Internet and fastened to lamp posts in the old fashioned way exhorting dippers to give a 'special' welcome and the intention was to put City of their game.
And of course there was little criticism in the media. As usual l ask what would have happened if the Liverpool bus had been in a similar situation at the Etihad.

i reckon this is definitely the case - basically paid to market one set of teams and suppress and attack a business rival. Obviously, there are a few plastic fanboys thrown into the mix too, but some of the supposedly high profile neutral ones are far too consistant with their approach. This isn't about click bait in the main either, as an article revelling in Liverpool's demise would generate a hell of a lot of clicks, for example.
