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


Here's a thought Blue people.
Should we really be referring to our lovable neighbours' followers as 'fans' these days?
Perhaps the term 'customers' is more appropriate these days.
I know this term could be loosely applied to fans of all clubs but I'm talking about followers who;
- delight in having dedicated long distance trips to the cesspit to visit the club shop.
- revel in having season tickets that they simply sell on to fools who really want to go to the match.
- take every opportunity to promote their company 'brand' by means of badly-worded banners and nonsense slogans.
- defend their brand to the nth degree across the whole of social media.
- would buy the fresh turd of a Great Dane if it had the rs' crest on it.

Happy VE day Blues.

Remember this so well as I’d just started going out with the missus and she invited me to a pub meal with her family, oblivious of the fact that a big footie match was on telly. So I set it to record (betamax!!) and managed to avoid anyone in the pub who knew the score. No pub telly back then. Anyway, her Dad was the least football fan you could imagine, not interested in any sports in fact, but as we left the pub about 10.30pm strolling back to the car park, he says “oh, I see Arsenal won the league”. As he’d paid the bill the waitress had mentioned the score to him! Gutted, as I obviously missed the drama of watching it ‘as live’ when I got home, but pleased with the result :)

...McMahon wagging his finger at them telling them there was one minute left. That's the image I always remember...then....bang.

Ha Ha Ha.

I refer to them as something else... begins with c and ends in unts.

we were out on the lash and passed a group of people outside a TV rental shop that had purposefully left the TVs on, we stopped and watched for a bit, all the tele clappers were out clapping fantastic 5 yard passbacks to that hilarious spaghetti legged wag, Brucie G, then that moment, that beautiful moment. Three of us were Everton fans and went turbo nuts. Happy days
