AndyinLiverpool Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I wouldn't put much stock in that Rough Guide poll since they think Glasgow is the friendliest place in the world.Liverpool pisses all over all the other cities I've been to in England for friendliness.

RadioactiveWaste Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Liverpool fans remember Hillsborough but seldom have a big justace for the victims of Heysel push... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Whilst nowhere near as big Liverpool do remember Heysel, 96 fans with family and friends will always be much bigger than what a minority of idiots did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 39 People died, so yes, not as many as Hillsborough, but still far to many and the tiny minority line is, well, bunk. It was Liverpool fans. Someone I once worked with claimed to have been there and said they didnt realize until late how bad it was. I stand corrected on them remembering it, and I'm happy to do so.

King Kevin Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Had an Head Office in Liverpool with a previous job ,would make any excuse to get up there .Some of the best nights out ever and yes the friendliest people.Whenever I recruited someone into the company I used to say do you want the good news or the bad news?The good news is Head Office is Liverpool The bad news is Head Office is Liverpool Why's that they ask ,well you will have a great time but the admin is **** because they are all out getting pissed.

I stand corrected on them remembering it, and I'm happy to do so.If you look at how many fans turn up at Andield each week to those that were involved with Heysel of course it's a minority and over 25 years ago when some fans were kids, babies yet still thrown at all Liverpool fans today.

RadioactiveWaste Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It's a difference in perception that annoys me about it. They all come together for one but try to pass off the other as "not us" tiny minority". Now, I appreciate there is a different issue with establishment cover up of the failings that lead to the Hillsborough disaster. Perhaps it's wrong to throw it at all, perhaps it's not entirely right to dismiss it without group responsibility being at least partly accepted. I've been put properly at lea right on it being remembered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 It's grouping people by the shirt they wear I don't like, the reason they are being called scum is for events in the 70/80's and it's something they won't be able to shake off, not that tragedies like Heysel should be forgotten at any time but at what point are Liverpool fans I'm trying to think of a word here but free? from being attached to this.I'm talking about the fans that like me, in their 30's, a kid at the time, I was 3 when it happened, absolutely no blame to be attached yet because they wear that red shirt, with the badge of the club they support, decent people, would stop at the side of the road and help you change your tyre without legging it with your wheel. Were the "fans" at Heysel there for the football or just for the scrap, a chance to have it out with some Italians, our national team has the same kind, couldn't tell you who Rooney plays for, they just want to get pissed and batter some Europeans for a laugh? I'm led to believe Derby fans were no angels back in the 70's either, not trying to compare the two here but football has definitely moved on from the 70/80's.

How many Anfield regulars were even born then let alone active then? People travel from all over the world to attend a match at Anfield because Liverpool FC is loved and respected by a great many people.Have you ever met any?The sound of you grinding your pathetic little axe is irritating in the extreme.

But they all go on about it like it's their right. And how many were there when they murdered the 39 Juve fans....? Oh wait, I forgot,....none, that was Chelsea fans of course...and yes I know quite a few of them and to a man they are as deluded as the day is long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've seen them come very close and win the Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cups and League Cups, think they have a fair shout to expect a genuine title push, especially when you look at the money they have spent/wasted.

MuespachRam Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 They are miles off being a top 4 regular.....they are as "big" as Spurs and Everton now, scrambling around desperate for one of the much bigger clubs to have a disaster so they can get up there....but thankfully they had a manager who even with probably one of the top 3 strikers in the world, Sturbridge and courtihno on fire they still couldn't beat Palace to win it....ha ha. My big worry is that Klopp might actually have a clue...fingers crossed he buys in to the deluded ethos up there and fails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
