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

Of course it should. Liverpool as a city were targeted by the establishment and client journalism for decades culminating in the horror of a 30 year cover-up after 1989…that actually destroyed lives of normal people and drove many to an early grave.

The Royal Family are an appallingly behaved firm of super wealthy no-marks in a country where millions queue at food banks.

Absolute solidarity with anyone who wishes to make a political and peaceful protest against that shower.

Making tribal capital on this specific issue is about as glib as you can be. There’s plenty of material to get stuck into on that front. It’s not about football. It’s about a city.

And 'Abide With Me' while you're defending and apologising for the odious shower?


Just wondering. You're obviously a top blue and all...

The athletic was set up entirely as an LFC rag. They took a load of kopite writers from the echo and the mirror and quickly realised the only mugs stupid enough to pay their original monthly prices for subscriptions were Liverpool fans. They’re now just as bad for clickbait as the echo

My brother asked if I’d like a year’s subscription as a birthday present. I told him I’d rather not have a present.

The BBC piece about the booing is their usual tripe. Has Klopp's mealy-mouthed comments about 'they must have a reason' and how the fans are mostly salt of the earth, bestest ever etc, and then some utter claptrap from an Anfield Wrap goon spouting about 'der foodbanks laaaa'. He "challenges' those complaining about it to come up to Liverpool and effectively witness the squalor first hand! The city really needs ambassadors like that, doesn't it.

Oh, of course neither he nor Klopp are asked about Abide With Me at all. Because they would squirm without a defence...

That’s strange as only 5,700 of them season ticket holders come from the City. The rest come from all over the country mostly down south, so why where they booing?
 
I have absolutely no bother with them booing that dirge we call a national anthem.

I was among the 100,000 who booed it roundly at the derby Cup Final in 1986.

What I will say is that if any other team’s fans had booed it on Saturday the outrage would have been a thousand times worse than the criticism we are seeing in the media.

Little bit of a stir with klopp defending the kopites right to boo prince William and the national anthem.
It's caught the rs loving press in a bit of a dilemma.

"I know a few fans from different clubs see this slightly differently but the majority of our supporters are wonderful people, really smart," Klopp added.

"They go through lows, go through highs, suffer together. They wouldn't do it if there wasn't a reason."

Nothing new - rewind back to 1965 and them singing "God save our  team "
Which peed off Her Maj so much she wouldn't go again (she had to turn up as Head of State for the world cup final in july)
Which is why Margaret did the honours in 1966
