Did their fans actually invade the pitch after winning a cup in a friendly? Haha

Yes mate, they’ve now invented pitch invasions.

The dopey gets have gone and written a complaint to UEFA about how one of their own fans was allowed to get on the pitch to accidentally injure their back up keeper lollol

Ban their fans from attending European games? They're not fit to travel around Europe anyway.

Smith apparently couldn't stand Hughes and was disgusted at his "tragic" rubbish after they won in Rome.

Went a bit deeper, and murkier than that, apparently.

They hated each other with a passion apparently.

Hughes, as we all know, had an obnoxious personality, and he viewed Smith as part of Liverpool's past.

Most reds I know, who were matchgoing in the 1970's can't stand Hughes either. Something about badmouthing them when he went to Wolves.

Hughes one of the worst. Funny enough Smith for me is a little down my list that has Pinnocchio, Carragher, Case, Whelan and Souness ahead of him.

Smith apparently couldn't stand Hughes and was disgusted at his "tragic" rubbish after they won in Rome. The city came out in reasonable unity that night. Hughes drove a deep divide with his bs remarks and Smith was livid about that.

Until the day a blue grassed him up for doing a Peter Beagrie like celebration after scoring a penalty in a half time competition. So they've always over celebrated then.

Do say more Roydo!!

I know Smith was advised at his RC school that RSFC would not be the normal for such as him when he was invited for a trial.

I don't think that was anything to do with the animosity by a lot of their players towards Hughes.

Tbh I think Hughes was just a bit lacking in the IQ stakes....His appearances on QofS exposed this regularly.

As a Christian I wish him peace in the world that he now inhabits.

Hell hopefully, the squeaky voiced (really bad word).

I don't think Hughes will be getting much peace downstairs with Fred West, Jimmy Savile and Beelzebub for company.

Folks I am serious about my Christianity and btw I recognise my own constant failure to meet the high standards therein.

As a 12 year old Evertonian at the time that was so hurtful from Hughes.

Believe me a lot worse has been dropped on me since by those in whom I expected support.

Anyway, back to the subject.....

He actually felt affronted that the rs would sell him to a "lesser" club. A typical rs lollollol

Smith hated Hughes, because Smith accused Hughes of making up conversations and quotes that the late Bill Shankly allegedly made to Hughes, which Hughes gleefully repeated. That was one reason.
