I am probably a "new" fan in comparison to some folks on here and don't live in England.

Does the Merseyside Derby have the violent history that other rivalries have, for example The Old Firm in Glasgow?)

No mate, not unless you count the Urchins turning up mob handed in a fiat cinquecento on county rd and hurling a flare and some abuse.

The Urchins.....snort, the inbetweeners more like.

So all the police protests at the KO time are purely preventative and not based on historical violence?

Yes. And maybe to prove a point cos they didnt want the KO at 5.30.

That pic going round of the police vans......my word. I may not even bother watching the game and just go looting instead, as it seems the entire police force will be at the game.

Yes mate, but every minor incident in town tonight will be put down to the late ko by the police.

the police have done the city a disservice.

Remember, as a city we're different and we know what counts



NOW LET"S GO AND F*CKING SMASH THEM

It's going to be a self fulfilling prophecy. Police will be claiming that this is a dangerous time to play and will use heavy handed tactics and arrest loads to 'prove' their point.

I think the police will afterwards say: "Thanks to our great effort there wasn't any disturbance. But it cost massive money to have this big force out."
