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

Hey, hang on guys. By all means disagree, but don't slate the lad this badly. I imagine he saw this quite horrendous piece from that lot on their lovely forum, which you'd be excused for thinking is out of some graphic novel:

I forget to tell everyone, I was at a wedding the other week and they played that [Poor language removed] [Poor language removed] Z-Cars dirge. Couldn't help myself. I ran at the DJ and skewered him on a microphone stand, punched the mother of the bride repeatedly until her nose shattered all over her [Poor language removed] stupid royal blue dress and the shards of nose bone entered her brain which did her off, bottled the groom in the jugular with, ironically enough, a broken Butcombe Bitter bottle, and then beheaded the bride with the decorative Samurai sword they were going to use to cut the cake. My night was nicely round off by battering the groom's dad to death with a piece of blue wood, and strangely enough, his last thoughts were of Goodison. Decent night that was. Five dead, and no other * will invite me to a wedding and even think about playing THAT * SONG.

Not really. That was me using a highly exaggerated form of the rhetoric and histrionics our bitter friends from across the park use to describe what it feels like to hear a [Poor language removed] song to satirise the *. I went to a wedding and they played "Third Finger Left Hand" by Martha and the Vandellas. The buffet was lovely and everyone had a nice time.

Now if you've never heard of them and you read that, you'd be thinking the worst of their fans, especially since every post after that applauds the genius's "comedy".

Both sets of fans are as bad as each other when it comes to making ridiculous generalisations about each other's fanbases based on the actions of a small minority of belters. It's what hardcore football fans tend to do on the Internet.

Examples:

- They are all murderers because of a tiny minorties actions 30 years ago

- We all racist because of a few incidents in the 80s

Football fans on the internet generally love making ridiculous sweeping statements and acting like 15 year old kids in a playground.

To put it simply, football rivalry brings out the irrational retard in even the most sensible/educated of people.
 

Another example will be the inevitable response from some people on here calling me a kopite for not being all "dey all murdering scum" and trying to look at things rationally.

Nope. I know loads of reds. Family and friends. Some of them are a bit tit-ish when discussing footy, and some of them are sound.

On the internet though, the kopites are a joke. It's not just us who think it, the football community of this country has woken up to it. Cringe-worthy bells, the lot of them.

Sorry but what you've posted is literally the perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Trying to make out all the ones on the internet are Cringeworthy bells when your entire experience of Liverpool fans online mostly comes from one forum.

It's textbook response assuming a vocal minority in one specific place = the majority

Whatever, they're bells imo. Don't care what you think.
 

Jog on. You're not gonna get much support coming on an Everton site claiming we're exactly the same as kopites.

Compare this thread and their equivelant on RAWK.

Same behaviour and generalisations from both sets of fans. Any neutral would agree.
 
Not really. I expect stick off them. That's not why I think they're deluded cringeworthy bells.

Yes really, I went through their thread the other day and it's like a carbon copy at times only reversed.

Anyway were not going to agree are we so let's leave it at that
 

I don't think I've ever seen one of our fans write a disturbing gore fantasy piece more graphic than GOT's Red Wedding episode.

Could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure.

1 fan wrote that and I've seen some messed up stuff posted about them on here and blue kipper before, the post you quoted was just an example of him being purposely ott to prove his crappy point... I doubt he's sat there cracking one off over it.

Never been on RAWK but looking at the comments from RS fans on the BBC, Guardian, telegraph, Sky sports etc etc as well as seeing the Redmen tv YouTube links on here it shows me everything I need to know about the vast majority of their fans thanks.

Theyre the laughing stock of the country when it comes to online supporter behaviour, unable to see the irony that they exude with every misguided and misinformed post. I'm happy laughing at them and poking fun because it's not just Eveton fans that do it, it happens all over every football website ive seen.

Mate, not being local, and living where there isnt a big side for about 120 miles, most round here follow tons of other clubs. And honestly, be it a Reading, Bristol City, Newcastle, Cardiff, Hibs, they are laughed at. Yeah, we are closer, so obv take the rise more, but nevertheless, they are seen as these deluded, cultesq idiots by most other fans. Not just us. Believe me.
