Some Liverpool fans claim you don't need to be from Liverpool to be a scouser.
"It's a way of life, an ethos."
They're absolutely mental.
Openly encouraged in their delusion by the media.
Nothing is ever their fault.
If a handful of Everton fans are noisy the media will be all over it
So silences are considered “impeccably” observed at Anfield when all the shouting is shouted down?
That’s a lot of shouting for an impeccable silence.

He seems to be forgetting that they had to be told to behave themselves by Klopp, Hillsborough group, Dalglish, Souness, basically every ex player in the media begging them not to disgrace the club and then they come out with this sort of stuff when they just about manage to behave like every other set of fans for once.

This, it’s the same with this “f the tories, that they sing all the time now, don’t get
Me wrong I can’t stand the Conservative party myself but there’s no way that’s anything more than a “let’s show how scouse we are” bandwagon, most of them probably wouldn’t have the first clue about politics.

Unsurprisingly they had already modelled it as a ‘moment’ or ‘period’ of silence, allowing for an abrupt ending should they detect any dissent. The ref actually bottled it IMHO.
I'd say there's as much, probably more anti-monarchy/anti-tory in the Everton support than in the Liverpool support. Considering we haven't got as many out of town supporters as them.
But we're not try hards and don't need to tell the world every passing day that we're proper scouse.
Although, I do think a lot of our support are confused in their hatred of Liverpool that we forget we're on the same side politically - Core fanbase, not club. Their club is deffo the establishment's club, to steal a phrase for Davek.
Yeah, I agree with this. When we played them in the FA Cup semi-final last season, what was really noticeable about their fans is how diverse they are. We didn't hear a single Scouse accent on Wembley Way or the London Underground. In fact, we didn't hear one all weekend. We did see them pulling up to the car park in Range Rovers and other nice cars. They all had the current home shirt, RRP £60. You've got to have good money to be a match-going fan at their club. So the idea that they're all working class Merseyside dockers is for the birds. It's completely fake political grandstanding to, as ever, show off how special they are.
Kete (from Slough) - The voices weren't even from outside the ground, I think they were inside the heads of all who are jealous of der mighty red men
R Maddock - yes I think you're right, its never our fault

The Kopite is standing behind them up their drive...trying to push the wall down.
What a 'kin nerve.

Correct. The faux rebels shat it. 54,000 Kopites silent bar 4 or 5 drunks chanting 'Liverpool' before being angrily piped down by their fans, some of them with their hands on their hearts in deep thought.
It is what it is with that lot: cosplay.
*Twenty's Plenty*
*Eff the Tories*
*Boo the Royal Family*
All fraudulent stances when push comes to shove.
Formed by Tories, watched by Tories.

We're the Scouse club. It'll become more pronounced too when we're on the banks of the Mersey with the Fourth Grace.
Everton are Athletic Bilbao to Liverpool's Real Sociedad. The keepers of the Scouse flame.
Authentic versus Faux.
