Liverpool is like the extended family member whose presence causes shit at any family get together.

You just know there will be shit every time they around.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

It all goes back to Hillsborough, they conveniently wipe the Heysel Stadium incident from the history books. If we had beaten Real Madrid in the semi, would we have had tear gas etc? Suspect not

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Redwash by the English media in overdrive.

Part of the BBC report.

But Merseyside police, who are responsible for policing in Liverpool and were present in Paris, said the vast majority of Liverpool fans arrived early at the turnstiles and behaved in an "exemplary manner".

Saturday's TV footage showed young men who did not appear to be wearing red Liverpool shirts jumping the stadium gates and then running away from security.

I watched the BBC news at 1 oclock, amazing how slanted there angle was in favour of the dippers, they showed a young lad climbing the fence but needless to say even though they had a choice of hundreds of clips of people climbing fences with dipper shirts on they found the one clip where the lad was not wearing any colours, now you cant tell me that is not carefully selected to avoid upsetting the dippers.

Don't forget Athens in 2007 with the scousers, almost a carbon copy of what happened in Paris. Fake tickets, jumping barriers, general trouble.

So that's 4 high profile instances (there will have been more) where English clubs have been the cause of trouble and incidents, in all instances it was Liverpool and in all instances the UK media have protected them from criticism.

This whole Stade de France episode is a perfect illustration of the miserable state of our media. The reality of what did/didn't go on is probably quite complex and there will be elements of both sides of the story that have some truth.

This is exactly the time when you look for proper journalists to dig beneath the surface and try and present a more substantive and nuanced analysis of events. But the moronic coverage is proof if any is needed that we are sadly lacking in proper journalist talent.

Got to 100% agree with this.

One only need look at how geo-political events are being reported these days.

I think all of us thought the war in Ukraine would be over in a few days, given how the unsustainable losses were being reported daily in the media.

Turns out a lot of what has been being reported so far has been lies.

Sports editorials is the same, Just politicised propaganda. I think the consistently bad editorials we get is because we have wealthy Arab owners that want to give rather than take out for Shopping Malls in the States etc, just my opinion.

Will be interesting to see how Chelsea are received by the media with their new owners.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

It is live. The sports minister was speaking in English. Answered a question about how longs fans should have git to the ground. Tried to get some French journalists questions and the dipper started shouting questions about tear gassing innocent fans.

Redwash by the English media in overdrive.

We know how much use Merseyside police are. Chocolate fireguard springs to mind.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

This shows how pathetic the UK media is and how up the Dippers arse they all are.
UEFA say industrial scale fraud, backed up by French Police stating thousands of fans without tickets mingled in with fake ticket fans yet Davash or what ever his name is on Sky saying we should not trust what UEFA say yet every single one of them reported UEFA charges v us as fact.
Fact is, Klopp called for thousands of fans to travel without tickets, start your investigation there. Fact, industrial scale fraud with Dipper tickets. Fact ticketless fans trying to get in.
Amazing how many finals go without incident yet there are always issues when they are involved.
No doubt they will now bring this up for 30 more years or so. Never their fault is it

At least as many Rangers fans in Seville as dippers in Paris yet that final went off without a problem.

I still can not get my Head around the Victims arranging a Trophy Parade on the Anniversary of Heysel.

Seriously wtf .....

How insensitive can you get ?

The same Club would be in apoplectic rage at such insensitivity.
