What baffles me is the amount of gurning people watching this smiling like they were at an otterspool dogging night and were next in line for a 5 knuckle shuffle off the bird in the car, filming it is a bit weird to say the least what possesses some body to get naked at a game get a vantage point for all to see and cracking one off to the masses

I’m honestly sick of the sight of him. Nothing sums up Sky more than having this spitting dog as their lead pundit on their flagship show and all big games.

You’re spot on - an employee does what he did to that young kid, in any other field of work, they get bulleted 100%.

He’s become sly sports bloody poster boy following the spitting incident.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near any future rs or especially Everton matches, the biased quilt.

Exactly mate, that's how irrelevant we are to the Premier League / Sky. It's not about treating everyone equally, it's about equality among those that count. City and the RS are their current bitches as ManU / Chelsea were for a while and ManU / Arsenal before that, if teams like us take a couple of bullets in the crossfire no-one cares. If we do go down it'll be interesting when watching it more regularly to see if the Championship is in any way biased in a similar way, I suppose not, as the more successful teams succeed and move up so there's no need for the authorities to pander to them like they do in the Prem.

Love the passive aggressive denigration of us in this. "Irrelevant" and we don't count in the first two sentences. "If we do go down it'll be interesting...." Pathetically reassuring this RS yadda yadda. What's our name ?

It is different now though mate. There are only 6000 scouse season ticket holders at the pit so the old mates at the friendly derby have long gone from there. They are a tourist team and it is only going to get worse as the owners view the few remaining 'legacy fans' as expendable.

It's been like that for years.
I went up to get tickets two days on the run for my mate(he had done the same for me in the passed,) he was working in Sheffield at the time but had been to every Liverpool game that year home and away, in all the competitions, on the second day., I went up for cup tickets
I went to the window , had ticket stubs from all the games, the fella behind the window said he didn't qualify, all tickets had gone.
I said you sure he has every ticket stub, he said season tickets and people on some list or other who get balloted for them we're eligible.
Got talking to him, and he said I will show you why your mate has not got a ticket , pulled a letter out , from a woman from Cardiff said it was her husbands 50 birthday and his lifelong dream was to watch the RS , and as a surprise could she book a tour, and match tickets for a coach load for the game, she got the tickets?
Honestly sounds like bull, but I swear it's true.
Then told me ,to tell my mate to join the ticket ballots from Sheffield not his Liverpool address in Walton as they had a system in place to encourage outside fans to the game as the spend more in the club shops ect and it works out better for him.
My mate came home the next day and tried himself, lost a days work, no luck ,felt sorry for him he was crestfallen, went that season, then stopped completely, shame they lost a decent fan that day.
Must be frustrating for the any local support they have.
Saying that I still can't stand the majority of them local or wool.
Horrible shower.

100% Blue mate, but this is how these matches make me feel these days. My bad if I didn't put the point across very well, it just angers me when we're treated with such distain.

Mate of mine had exactly same experience apart from the fact he watched 4 wools go up to the window in full kit and souvenir bags-a-plenty and get tickets instantly. He went and argued and was told it was club policy because the wools spend on tat.
Thats wasabout 7-8 years ago too.
Local r/s know where the line is regarding banter, the bells of Bangladesh or the Oslo orcs take it all too far but the worst tend to be the home counties freaks who not only don't get the city but have an inane hatred of 'scousers'.
The r/s I work with still make 'robbing scoise git' erm 'jokes'.
No self awareness whatsoever.
