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

What's happening with the kopite next to the one in the green jacket?

I think he's proper gurning away as he's realised that Paul Scholes is sitting just behind him on his left.

The guy doing the slitty eyes expression should maybe chill it out a bit as the bird next to him may think he's taking the piss out of her.

An alleged bust-up between a flag bearer and a disabled fan on Liverpool FC’s Kop is behind controversial proposals for all banner holders to register and wear accreditation.

Supporters reacted angrily last week as Anfield bosses put forward new blueprints for those hoisting flags at fortnightly home matches.

But, it has emerged the spur for the possible changes was a flashpoint that happened on the last game of the season against Crystal Palace.

A disabled fan complained a flag waver was blocking their view of the pitch, sparking a flashpoint at the match, which was captain Steven Gerrard’s final appearance for the club.

It led to police charging Jonathan Poulter, 20, from Anfield, with a public order offence, which he has denied.

Liverpool FC Disabled Supporters Association made a complaint to the club which has instigated an internal investigation by officials.

Spion Kop, who coordinate the flag displays at the ground, are in discussions with stadium boss Vaughan Pollard about the move, which they described as ‘draconian.’

But they insist the Palace fracas was not referenced by Kop bosses.

A spokesman for the group said: “The person in question is not a member of our group, although we do not have an official membership list.

“We’ve always been committed to working with our disabled supporters and we maintain an excellent working relationship with them, and really value everything they do to help us.”

Nine days ago, when Liverpool played West Ham at Anfield, the lack of flags on the Kop was immediately noticeable.

David Smith, secretary of the Liverpool FC Disabled Supporters Association, said: “If flag waving is conducted properly, there isn’t a problem.”

Liverpool FC spokesman declined to comment.

Poulter faces a trial in November after pleading not guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

Europes finest
 
To be fair, given the result in losing at home to Crystal Palace, you would think that their fans would have been pleased to have their view of the action blocked.

Tremendous.. not only do they officially organise their flag waving.. they still don't wave them properly.
 

Doc.webp I am frequently seeing people in my surgery who are suffering from a disturbing psychological disorder...though one readily identifiable.....namely "RS, Aye" as from its first manifestation in the early 60s during the tenure of a Scottish manager with verbal diarrhoea. The patients themselves are in denial and their mutual symptoms are usually the only guidelines to any clinical treatment. In recent times, outwards signs have manifested as the aforementioned talking s*it, wearing full football kits in public, embarrassingly premature purchases of Premier Champions t-shirts, and moreover the violent over-bearing of unimaginative illiterate banners and flags. Fortunately in the latter case, a helpful disabled fellow supporter has recently offered details of a new suppository-style revolutionary treatment at the ground - encouragingly yelling "stick that flag up yer arse" at the deranged stricken one. God speed medical progress to eradicate the condition completely.
