If I had anything to do with making decisions in football I'd be acutely aware that if there is one club and one fanbase you stitch up at your peril ... it's Liverpool.

Even if I didn't like Liverpool and secretly wished I could piss on their chips, I'd still make sure I made the right overall decision on this.

Deprive LFC of a title loads in the game said was over after Christmas, and when LFC are 25 points clear with around 8 games to go, and you bring a [Poor language removed] storm down on yourself you could really do without. Liverpool FC are the biggest jewel in the crown in this country these days, and screwing them over would be very foolish indeed.

I hate them so much.

Like genuine hatred.

But they are the jewel in the crown they said so themselves.

As a person of Irish extraction with family in Belfast, Donegal and Wexford it galls me no end encountering RS cultists when I visit the ould sod.

As our good friend @davek has pointed out on numerous occasions, this shower would not entertain an Irish Catholic about the place for most of its existence.

In Dave Hill's book 'Out of his Skin' (about John Barnes), he mentions another form of racism: graffiti written over turnstiles at Anfield in the 1980s declaring "No Fenains here".

Danny Murphy is on bbc1 doing his 'matches of his day' soon.
No doubt we get a mention.

I'm sure all his games he played for utter gash teams also figure prominently also..

And I was often told I was wrong when I reminded them. Not that it means anything now but in the 80’s it was quite a differant matter and you would think it would have been a topic certainly where I was but the Cult prevailed and they blocked that bit out

Well yeah, 2 of his choices are a derby (think it’s the Easter Monday one when they got that fluky free kick last min) and Fulham’s last day win at Portsmouth that kept them up with the other game being United’s 5-3 win at Spurs as his fan choice

Apparently she moved from Huyton when she was about seven. A quick Google search didn't detect any footy allegiances.

That would explain why she isn't the same colour as a tangerine when she leaves the house.

On the one hand that reads like the writer was sat in his pants in his mommy's box room. Or one day might go a killing spree.

Maybe both.

The kind of RS weapon who farts into glasses and puts cling film on them and puts them in the fridge , maybe even labels them with photos of their favourite players like Patrick Berger and Milan Baros and sniffs them. God I miss my ex

This is why literally everyone hates them. I just picture the adult version of a spoilt child throwing a tantrum because it didn’t get it’s own way when I read this.

Also bold of them to talk about “stitching up” given what they did to cause English clubs to get kicked out of European football.

This means more. It certainly does when you're 45, a virgin and only leave your mums boxroom to wave a witty red banner in the backyard.

That's one thing I've never really understood about the RS, I'm neither Catholic or Protestant my parents are Pravoslavac (orthodox), so I don't really have a view either way , but I've always found although it's doesn't really matter, that you tend to find that there are more Everton fans in areas where Irish Catholics dominated, whereas areas where that are dominated by RS tend to be more Protestant, I don't know whether you agree?
Areas in the North end where more Irish people settled tend to have more Blues, yet areas like Dingle, Aigburth, Halewood, Garston, Netherley and Huyton tend to have more RS, although Huyton is a bit more mixed. Obviously it's not as serious as the Balkans where Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split were the clubs of the Croats (Catholics), Zeljenicar and FK Sarajevo were the clubs of the Bosniaks (Muslims) and Red Star and Partizan were the clubs of the Serbs (Orthodox). But I've always found it strange they have so many Irish fans considering their links with the Orange Order.
