Liverpool embarrassing themselves and football. (a definitive list)

There a lot of people, including fans; governing bodies and the mainstream media that are at best wilfully ignorant and at worst complicit in endangering the lives of people whether in public or online who challenge their cultist views or who or innocently and unfortunately caught up in their carnage.
Appeasement is occurring here on an industrial scale.

It is. The authorities are failing to pick up on the undercurrent that's been building amongst Liverpool supporters over the past few years. They've let incidents slide by that are alarming because they'd prefer to not confront it and/or they see it as the actions of fans from a club who are "more than a club" and, therefore, experience things more acutley than fans of other clubs. The football media, in particular, have been persuaded by the Kopites that is the case (that they are a special), and they've fallen for it hook, line and sinker - either willingly or by their own naivety.

Liverpool fans are like any other self-proclaimed group who feel themselves 'special': they act outside of mainstream behavioural norms and consider themselves beyond the censure of others.

This saga ends with only one outcome. History, unfortunately, dictates that it does.

This is 100% correct. The very unfortunate Sean Cox incident, has to be seen in the wider context of the Man City bus attack at Anfield previously.

The thugs who committed that assault on Mr. Cox bear full responsibility but nothing is said about the implications of fans travelling to what can only be described as a rabid, feral environment and the consequences that this brings.

I'll acknowledge that they have stood by the victim and his family (as have blues) but the bus incident was nothing other than a premeditated, equally thuggish attack that LFC and the authorities seemed to want to tolerate.

Violence breeds violence. If it is accompanied by a silent and passive acceptance because intimidating the opposition suits an agenda then it is inevitable that violence is meted out in return and that poor man and his family are bearing the consequences today.

Yep. If Liverpool fans dont ratchet up the uber ultra stakes for certain high profile games those Juventus thugs dont turn up and look to get involved with them.

They created the seed bed in which that act of thuggery grew in.

While were about it: is there anything more annoying than than that Anfield Wrap lot?

A bunch of self-regarding "football aesthetes" who trade on some notion that they're plugged into the real deal "authentic" Liverpool scally culture of the 80s and have the drop on everyone as cultural amabassadors for "the city".

In reality they're a horrible bunch of rip off merchants; Thatcher's children mugging their own fans for a few quid.
 
The whoppers who do that Anfield wrap are the worst. They come across as bluecoat boys trying to be a bit edgy. The absolute rot they speak and write (I'm only aware of it cos they whore themselves out to radio and TV non-stop) is simply nonsense:

Verbose.

Nonsense. Sense that makes none.

The irony. The pun.

The 6th form poetry. Top of the middle class and head boy.

There are very few pundits and journalists who produce intelligent thoughts on football. The Anfield wrap hucksters can be safely omitted from that group, by some distance.

The Anfield Wrap is the Nathan Barley of football.

They think they can do just what they like....which is about right really as they are usually allowed to do as they like. Karma awaits.
Let the ceremonial aerial bombardment of their past-their-sell-by date cheap lager cans and pink smoke flares begin....and the police to start putting their blinkers on, headcams off.
