Can I ask a question??
Hello mid 30's Liverpool fan here.
Decided for the new season to sign up for all the teams in the league's message boards and chat prior to playing them and after as well.
Firstly for the record I think you've probably made a good signing with sterling. So we will see how it goes
I'm making a jump on the new season and staring north west so I'm on the Everton board and waiting the green light for United and I'll move on from there
Can I be very honest
I just don't get the hate..I mean I get it on match day..I go mental during those 90 minutes but after that it's just about a beer and a lagh (I've had this conversation with some Liverpool fans as well)
I love football I thinks it's so good it's almost an art at time and my little girl is interested.
I'm not naive..I've done more fucking than fighting but I get how it works on match day having said that I'm not an Internet user until recently but I find the aggressiveness and the use of the word '****' to describe opposition fans to be strange. (I repeat this is not a city bashing exercise I've pulled up Liverpool fans for similar)
Love the competition..love the rivalry..love the bite...not sure I get the hate
Any way I wish you a terrible season lol
Thoughts?
Hi Luvfooty, and welcome.
I`m 62 so not a kid anymore. I don`t usually hate football clubs or reasonable people I meet and in truth, I always use to liked Liverpool for the football they played and some of the special players you had.
Tommy Smith, Graham Souness, Ray Kennedy, Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish, anyway you get the idea. In those times your support was I thought always fair, win lose or draw, although it was mainly win. I`ve always said its easy to be nice when your teams winning everything in sight.
The cycle you are presently in has changed vast numbers of your support, On my last trip to your place after we stood and showed respect to your supporters who tragically lost their lives you booed our team for no apparent reason for the 90 minutes plus. Some might say, don`t be so precious but in 58 years of watching my team at more home and away games than i`d like to count, I have never heard the shit doled out to any team as I did to our that day. That day the Liverpool team i`d admired joined the Scum and Arsenal as the clubs I hate the most.
The brick through the window of the coach thrown when 4 young scrote`s who ran out of an back entry while we were on the way to the ground didn`t sway my opinion that could happen almost anywhere.
Anyway welcome, I hope you don`t get shit off some of the kids on here and as long as you dont talk bollocks you`ll be welcome by me.
