Utd have been booed 10x worse at anfield over the last 30years at anfield, and Chelsea will get it far worse next weekend, but that's football get over it, 23 pages moaning about it really, I'm sure if ou could get the etihad as noisy and intimidating you would have a 23 page thread lauding it, I have never heard utd fans moan about being booed, with regard what happened to the coaches anyone involved in that is scum pure and simple.

Rich lfc said:jimharri said:Perhaps you should look at the reasons why. The constant self-pity and sense of entitlement really does wind up a lot of people, me included. Plus, the attitude of a section of your supporters last weekend left a lot to be desired. Booing City players throughout the whole 90 minutes, cheering when Yaya was being subbed due to injury and then bricking some of our supporters' coaches. All the more annoying when you look at how we marked that day (the floral tribute by the club, the full page ad in your match programme, the impeccably observed minute's silence) Not to mention the rank hypocrisy of you lot. Constantly whinging about ''oil money'' and ''money doesn't buy class'', while conveniently forgetting/overlooking the Moores family/Littlewoods Pools money ploughed into your club in the sixties/seventies. Then there's the constant references to the Hillsborough victims. I even saw a comment today by one of your fans on how fitting it was to hit the 96 goal mark this week, to go with the comments on what a fitting tribute it would be if you won the league in the 25th anniversary of the disaster.. For fuck's sake; let them rest in peace, rather than constantly referencing them. No one will forget them, we don't need constant reminders.Rich lfc said:And while I genuinely have a soft spot for city, I have been amazed at the hatred and bitterness shown towards Liverpool I actually think its worse on here (for pure hatred) than redcafe, I am genuinely surprised.

Totally agree. I can't understand why so many blues are having such a difficulty reconciling this tbh.Rico1304 said:I know I'm going to regret this but lots of the pre match build up to the Liverpool v City game on here was about City respecting the occasion and then getting on with business and winning the game. City's fans were outstanding in the tributes (I've seen the video of the release of balloons at CoMS) and the silence.
But once the game starts it's all behind the players and fans, it's in the 'now'. Liverpool tried to create an intimidating atmosphere to help the team and it worked.

I'm not sure 'jealousy' is the correct sentiment. Lack of empathy and perspective, perhaps. When that whistle went, booing our players was fair game imo. I would have hoped the dignity we displayed for the 96 wasn't provided on a conditional basis.Blue Is the Opposite of Blue said:Jealousy.gordondaviesmoustache said:Totally agree.

Excuse searching.
