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


Iana said:
So here I am in downtown Seville about to go on a tour and our group of 10 people are asked to introduce themselves briefly. 6 out of the 10 people are English and at the end of the little session a bloke asked me if I was from Liverpool to which I said “Yes”.
He then said “Red or Blue” to which I replied “Evertonian” and he revealed he was a Kopite and then made some crass joke about he would not be able to attend the tour knowing of my allegiance.

I just said but you are not even from Liverpool so what’s your problem.

Not a peep out of him after that.

It's one thing that pissed me off that these OOT Liverpool "fans" are even considered fans. Yes you be from outside of Merseyside and still be a diehard Blue, somebody who travels from further away to watch Everton has my respect. However these non Scouse nuggets who think they can join in banter do my head in. They've chosen to support RS because it's easy, they would disappear if RS went through any actual suffering. Deep down RS are jealous of us, when we walk down Goodison Road and are surrounded by knowledgeable supporters who follow us through thick and thin, we can talk to each other they cant. They don't have bond of hugging random strangers, people speaking about match with fans around them. They're just customers, no different to people in supermarket together. "Imagine Being us", ye your beloved club putting your season ticket up by hundreds of pounds and doing everything in their power to cleanse you from stadium and replace you with a tourist. Fighting amongst yourselves, after you've just won the league. Claiming your fellow fan was wrongly convicted in Bulgaria, yet nobody pointed out actual offender to get him out. Your club refusing to give signed shirts to help schools raise money for kids with cancer. Your club not doing anything for the community, while your rivals across park have spent years helping the disadvantaged. "Imagine Being Us", I have and I'm glad I'm an Evertonian. Don't even engage with these RS clowns.

The thing about Liverpool fans is that we have nothing else in our lives. This is it. Add to this we are in a cult and to be valued within the cult you have to be a narcissist, you have to be the best fan in der world. What this means is that if anybody says anything remotely bad about the club, or acts in a way that they don't think we are the best club in der world, then they are in for a psychotic irrational tirade of abuse. The more extreme the better, so be it if racism, or any other bigotry seeps in to the abuse.

The group shot of their fans at the Palace 3-3 game has got to be the biggest collection of weirdos ever captured on camera.

I still can’t believe the size of the neck on one of them.

I was thinking about this yesterday. The fella who says "I dont believe it" Genuinely one the ugliest things I have ever set eyes on.
