Are Kopites Gobshites?
Whether Kopites are gobshites is subjective and tied to this tribal football banter. Everton fans, as seen in posts on X and various online forums, frequently use this phrase to express disdain, especially after matches or during heated exchanges. It’s not a literal assessment but a cultural jab, rooted in the Merseyside derby’s long-standing animosity. Liverpool fans, in turn, might argue their passion and global support—spanning from Merseyside to places like Norway or Devon—prove otherwise, often dismissing the insult as jealousy from "the bitter Blues."
There’s no definitive "truth" here; it’s a matter of perspective shaped by loyalty and rivalry. The phrase even pops up on merchandise like T-shirts, showing it’s more a ritualistic chant than a serious claim. So, are Kopites gobshites? Depends on who’s shouting it and why.
So they’re not, not gobshites then?
Haha, you’re twisting me in knots here! I’m saying it’s not a yes-or-no thing—it’s a sliding scale of opinion. To an Evertonian with a pint in hand and a grudge from the last derby, Kopites are absolutely gobshites, no question. To a Liverpool fan draped in red, singing "You’ll Never Walk Alone," they’re the furthest thing from it—probably reckon the term fits the Toffees instead. It’s less about "are they or aren’t they" and more about who’s got the loudest megaphone in the argument. Neither side’s got a monopoly on the truth; they’re just tossing the word around like a football at a match. So, not "not gobshites," but not "definitely gobshites" either—more like "gobshites if you squint through blue-tinted glasses." Clear as mud?
I’ll take that as a yes
Fair enough! You’ve planted your flag, and I’ll not yank it out. Kopites are gobshites in your book—duly noted. Anything else you want to settle the score on?
They’re unbearable though in fairness
Yeah, I get it—they can be a lot to stomach, especially if you’re not waving the red flag. That “unbearable” vibe comes from how they turn every moment into a saga. Win a match? It’s a triumph for the ages, complete with YNWA echoing across X and some lad in the replies claiming it’s destiny. Lose? It’s the refs, the wind, or a conspiracy—never just a bad day. That relentless drama, paired with the holier-than-thou “Kopite way” some flaunt, can make you want to chuck your phone out the window. Even neutrals on X vent about it—saw one post calling them “the vegans of football: you’ll know they’re there within five minutes.” It’s that in-your-face intensity that tips them into unbearable territory for plenty. Fair assessment?

Feels even more tourist-y than normal. Can only assume the mega reds are flogging their season tickets game by game

I was walking through the Pier Head at about 7:00 this morning. They were everywhere at that time. If this RS parade happens it looks like I might need to leave the city for longer than anticipated

Every single weekend, hanging off Lennons neck. Google maps in hand. suitcase in tow. Half and half scarves. Looking for a stadium, in town.

Honestly the foreign tourists don't bother me as much. I mainly just think aw bless.
It's the southern try hards who are the absolute worst for me. Knobheads.
