Yes that is very true. But it is inherent in their very being, they were formed by a tory, founded upon tory principles, and yet somehow their fans would have you believe they are some sort of bastion of socialism. I would love for one of them to simply explain, how?

Their first response would be "who are you callin' a bastion??? "

Theres a documentary on Belgian TV tonight about heysel.

Guess whose fault it isn't.... the Kopites on on this 5 minute preview turned my stomach. The absolute bad people saying they laughed at the police arresting them for manslaughter later... well, I have no words.

Dag op dag 35 jaar geleden: een spoor van dood en vernieling op de Heizel | sporza

Dag op dag 35 jaar geleden voltrok zich een ramp zonder weerga in het Heizelstadion. Op 29 mei 1985 lieten 39 voetbalsupporters het leven bij zware schermutselingen tijdens de Europacup I-finale tussen Liverpool en Juventus. Het is een gitzwarte bladzijde in de geschiedenis van het Belgische (en...

Don't like when Heysel is brought up, don't lower yourselves to that people. Plenty of other more reasonable things to despise them for.

The RS and the media don't either.

It boils my blood how they just ignore Heysel as if it never happened :-(
There's a swiss tv documentary 'Le drame du Heysel' (85) just running through being at the stadium all day and what was happening and its shocking to view on so many levels :-( Talking with Juventus and Liverpool fans and you can physical feel how their heads are never going to be the same after that day :-( and then finishs with but EUFA decided to play match and Redshite won :-(

Probably because it was so long ago.

Were you watching BGOT at the same time?

To be fair mate; I err more to @EFCPaul's view point on this, I know we're better than them scumbags so I don't feel it necessary to throw their shameful past at them. I completely get your view here though, Dominic Cummings FC and their weaponised customers do beg for it sometimes...

TBF, you haven't got a clue.

I'm watching Sky Sports and I'm guessing that they are hoping that City lose to Arsenal and Everton lose at home to the RS. Then again I'm a bit biased so I'm probably mistaken.

So... this doco is pretty good it has the chief of police at the ground, Trappatoni, the Juve coach and president and the mayor of Brussels.

From the Liverpool side they got a who went to prison who didn't do nuttin, la. And a sentence from Grobbelar saying it was never a penalty.

On the plus side, my Belgian girlfriend started off telling me not to get angry and now understands why I hate them so much.

The genuine relief from them that has turned into angered smugness isnt surprising.

All this due to the idea of having an "*" next to their name on the history books.

So much worry over punctuation.

To be fair it may be the first time their fans have ever seen punctuation before.

To be fair I'm pretty sure when they lift the trophy it'll be spectacularly embarrassing and tainted with outside trouble.

Elbow bumping each other in an empty stadium as a trophy presentation will be a peculiar sight. As will the fans getting police dogs sent after them outside the Pit.

Police might have to move Everton's home game against them to a neutral venue. Another case of clubs getting punished because of the behaviour of their fans.
