Yesterday was talking in the bar with my mate who is a Bradford city, Newcastle and Liverpool fan. And has always the topic of football came up. He obviously started ranting on about the French authorities and the heavy handiness withe the dipper fans. So armed with all the information off here i told him what do u expect with fans jibbing in and fake tickets. Well he went ballistic where is all the proof of what your saying? It’s all over social media I replied. Bollox was his go to stance and it’s all lies. Gave up in the end but he’s been texting all morning for an apology. He’s a Yorkshire man imagine if it was a scouser.

He "supports" THREE teams? THREE?!?!?!?! Presumably he picked Liverpool in the 80s and NEwcastle in the 90s to give himself a double shot at glory.

His opinion is utterly worthless.

Support three teams myself.
City my first and only true love.
Fleetwood my home town in the Lancashire combination when I started watching them aged 8.
Burnley where I lived in my twenties ( 1970s and 1980s ) and have many friends.
Think it's OK to watch and cheer more than one team however while it can be a grand afternoon out at Highbury or the Turf and I'm delighted when they win with City its different. My mood is affected for several days by their results real elation or total despair with the others its just an entertainment. The only other thing that has this effect is Lancy cricket and even that is much less so. Know I will get some stick for this but I understand how you can have more than one team.
Ps also the Jambos in Scotland

The problems happen when people get selective tribalism, and by tribalism I mean hateful, mean and blind to any truth.

It's a bit like having 3 passports and you can swap countries for a better one whilst one is shit and go back to it once it's a bit better.

We should send some random City fan with a fake press pass.

Just contact that Liverpool fan from Twitter - dressed in a suit bragging about getting in with his fake press pass.
Clearly knows a thing or two about pulling the wool over the eyes of … security, the media, the uk govt…

Sounds like the start of a bad joke.

Even if those damned Frenchies were to blame what was the major disaster that occurred?

Some people with tickets didn't see the match
Some people got minor injuries from the police.
Some people got a whiff of gas which is unpleasant for children and old people. By its nature it swirls with the wind and can be carried on the wind for significant distance.
The French police wre caught out by the extra fans and wereThe match kicked off late.
TV timetables went awry but they would if there had been extra time.
Liverpool were unhappy after getting beaten.

I don't think there was much else but l think the last one has been the driving force in this debacle and all the rest isn't really a big deal.

Aye, it's getting tiresome now. War in Europe, a bumblefuck PM on the ropes, the Good Friday Agreement under threat from Unionist head-the-balls and this lot are getting more airtime than the poor fuckers in Mariupol.

What I cannot comprehend is why the Daily Mail is so pro Liverpool. All the writers this morning buying into its the frenchies fault even Martin Samuel who is the main reason I buy the rag. The paper hates everything about Liverpool the City being anti brexit, anti Tory and anti monarchy. And yet it has a love in with the football club ignoring the insult to the national anthem and the Royal family at the cup final. The Daily Express which is still more right wing is the same. I am at complete loss to understand this anyone have any explanation.

Others who have replied are not wrong about the fear of a sizeable demographic boycotting their paper but to answer your question from another angle, what you have pointed out is a perfect example of the principle of Bread and Circuses.
I can't remember which Roman Emperor first employed the idea of keeping the populace distracted but the Daily Mail and all the rest of them are keen practicioners of the principle.
They know that say, Red Scouse fans (there are probably other sizable demographics this applies to but theyvare the case in point) will click on positive articles about Liverpool and have their bias confirmed. Therefore they will trust the source. Maybe not implicitly but to some degree.
Now, if they just happen to click on/ come across say, a thinly-veiled anti-Islamic or some blatantly pro-[Any party] article from the same source while they're surfing the web, the chances of them putting some trust in that - even if they fundamentally disagree with it.
Nobody ever founded a newspaper without an agenda to propagate and that, is what the Murdochs etc are aiming at.
LFC's cult-like following is easy pickings for this sort of stuff.
And it works. Look at the success of Cambridge Analytica.
