ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[mahermi1]

They have only got themselves to blame. If they didn’t greet the team bus at every home game like a massive gang of mutants then the argument for behind closed games for them could be given. But history has been shown their fans just can’t be trusted.

Maybe they will use sanitised bricks and bottles when they chuck them at rival team busses.

Honestly that statement from Liverpool is utterly embarrassing. Joke of a club.

They're so thick, the whole club, all it's fans, I really don't understand how they can be so thick. Their club is being investigated for playing a match with a full capacity against a club from a country badly affected with the virus because they craved the income.

... And they say there's a lack of evidence.

Lack of evidence! From a cult that has sad gits line the streets at 2pm for an 8pm match to ambush the opposition bus.

Hope Anderson hits back at them with the mountains of evidence available

HawHaw was one of the HK incarnations and all, went very quiet when a few of us called him out on it

Absolute danger that guy.

City's mayor doesn't want residents to die. How dare he.

In fairness the Grauniad, despite their fair share of cheerleaders have gone with a photo of the hordes of mindless orcs from the Athletico game

Liverpool upset by mayor's call to stop season so fans do not gather at Anfield

Liverpool have expressed dismay at claims by the city’s mayor that the season must not restart because fans will congregate outside Anfield to celebrate winning the title

Spirit of Shankly have waded in with their usual waffle to declare their disgust.

A response to Mayor Anderson

Spirit of Shankly are angered by comments made by Liverpool City Mayor, Joe Anderson.

The Mayor has chosen to speak out on a hypothetical matter, namechecking Liverpool FC supporters without discussion with those fans or fan groups.

There is no evidence to support the Mayor’s perception that Liverpool supporters will break any lockdown regulations and gather outside of Anfield should football be resumed and played behind closed doors.

LFC, in their statement on the matter, refer to their engagement with supporters’ groups.

SOS raised this issue with the club, back on 13 March, ten days before lockdown began. We agreed then a determination to respect social-distancing measures and, in the event of a resumption of football, we would continue to work together, along with other key stakeholders, in achieving this objective.

Rather than disparaging words about football fans, it would have been more beneficial for the City Mayor to acknowledge the work being done by those same people in easing pressures on the city’s old and vulnerable at this time. SOS alone up to now have delivered more than 1,000 food parcels, and are active partners in helping with the supply of PPE and @SFoodbanks

We ask the Mayor to retract his statement and work with fans to support all during this time of crisis.

Well, they broke the law when you attacked the Man City coach outside of their ground and when they regularly use pyrotechnics (Merchant Shipping Act).

Or when they stole tickets from their own at Athens. Oh, and there's the time at a European final... so, yes there is evidence that they regularly break the law.

UEFA labelled them as the worst fans in Europe for a reason, so they shouldn't be surprised when people don't trust them to act like they should.

Trying to hang Big Joe our to dry because he said their fans would turn up at Anfield if games were played. We all know they would.

Such a self-entitled club.

you reckon they would , couldn’t see it myselflol

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Tbf to their proper fans (the scouse ones who actually go the game) I admit that I can see why they would be gutted if the season is ended after the season they have had.

However for all the glory hunting out of town weapons on social media with the 6 stars in their twitter handle who are made up to be gifted the title even if they dont officially win it just so they can gloat online to EFC/MUFC/MCFC fans I sincerly hope its null and void and they get sweet F ALL.

Wont happen as the PL are up their arse but would be funny.

 

[roydo]

Oh blimey, pure as the driven snow is their narrative now then?

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Can anyone who sits in the Glwadys Street try to look a bit more friendly from now on please,

from RAWK;

The one thing that winds me up is our only crime is to be passionate about our club

We’re evil apparently. Have a look at those faces in the Gladys street end when they’re playing

That’s closer to evil than we’ve ever been. They can site a fuckimg wall falling over to the left instead of the right all they want. Like it was the st Valentine’s Day massacre. Using the dead to beat us with a stick year in year out.

Yeah, it’s us though. Warped bitter rancid people everywhere. It’s hard not to look down on football fans with what I’ve been subjected to over the past month. That’s just me aswell Amd I have largely avoided social media

A wall 'FALLING OVER' to left instead of the right

I reckon that poster truly believes that the heysel disaster was just some unfortunate accident because it's been whitewashed for years, they actually believe it wasn't their fault

ALWAYS THE VICTIM, ITS NEVER YOUR FAULT

 

[DanEFC92]

Whinging gets.

 

[No8Bally]

The dementors continually give credence to their motto: Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.

 

[GwladysBlue]

you reckon they would , couldn’t see it myselflol

You can’t see them going to Anfield if they win the league?

 

[4737carlin]

Brilliant from Big Joe, keep up the good work!!!

 

[No8Bally]

You can’t see them going to Anfield if they win the league?

Nah, it would be impossible for them to get here from Oslo... and those based locally, are very good citizens.
