They were a successful side in the 80s and people latched on to them. They then had Heighway and Whealan and this perpetrated the myth of an Irish connection, of them being the Irish team. I always felt like there was a nasty undercurrent to them back then, I used get a lot of "same blue as rangers" "proddie [Poor language removed]" stuff from them in the late 80s early 90s when I was just a kid with no understanding of it, I didn't care then and I don't care now. Religion has no place in sport, I wouldn't watch Celtic if they were playing in my front garden, nothing to do with religion just that club and league are not worth watching.
So those clowns raised another bunch of clowns who grew up listening to the same rubbish and now they have more clowns and are teaching them the same things again. So your at a point where the truth and history doesn't matter, all that matter's is what they have been brought up believing, that Liverpool are an Irish club. None of them know their history or the history of anfield or anything associated with the club. All they know is the 80s on and Heighway, Whealan, Houghton, Lawerenson, the pigeon botherer who all played for Ireland. I do enjoy occasionally setting them straight and always finish with the lines so without Everton FC there is no Liverpool FC which of course makes ye the [Poor language removed] sons of Everton Football Club, at that point anything could happen then
