Viva Hate

[edge]

Don't like them most of the time, but don't hate them till the ball is kicked then despise them for ninety minutes.
Have got family who support them and good mates as well decent people,
I actually hate the Derby it winds me up to much it's not good for my health

I think you can put most of the RS into categories:

1- As mentioned, your mates / family member.

Who are sound other than supporting them. ( they took a wrong turn in life and you can forgive them for it )

2- The super fan.

Likes wearing the kit, never goes to the match, but watches the game in the pub, screams at the telly, calls every player by their first name, like he knows them personally. Everyone in the pub secretly hates him and now and again comes very close to a slap, before he slopes off. Doesn't have a bird and lives at home in the box room with his parents.

3 - The out of towner / foreigner.

Jumped on the Sky bandwagon and goes to the game a few times a year. Usually stays for the weekend and has a high probability of becoming a crime statistic in and around Mathew Street / Wood Street.

4 - The fanatic.

Likely to be a member of Spirit of Shankly, covered in tats of Rafael, Stevie G, King Kenny etc. Hasn't got time for anything else, inc his wife and kids. A dangerous individual and likely to be institutionalised at least once in his life. ( think of Robbie Carlye's Albie character in Cracker for those old enough and you're getting there ). Knows where the players and manager live and likely to pay them unannounced visits.

True story , I actually got Robbie Carlyle to appoligise on the mike in the blue house for that and to say , he liked us better.
After one of are games when he was filming. That film 51 st state in Liverpool.
Decent bloke up for a laugh.

After the FA cup semi at Wembley when we lost 2-1 a few years ago I had my 2 boys with me. I did quite a nasty thing.
Being gutted after losing was bad enough I decided to walk past their supporters around Wembley on purpose. I know,I know but sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind!!!
Remember them goading my 9 year old son and laughing at the fact he was wearing an everton shirt (classless ) I was also on the end of some pretty disgusting comments.(they just won as well).
After finishing the walk of hate I asked the boys if they disliked Liverpool even more
Deffo was the reply
Mission accomplished

When you say " got " do you mean a voluntary or an involuntary apology lol

For all my despising them, imwoudltn be without them! I love the fact that even during their utter domination of english and european football, thee were still loads of things we could wind them up over nowadays, its a bit too easy. But at their peak, just asking them who was the manager beofre Shankly used to wind them up a treat! 'Thats all you lots are interested in, ancient history' theyd say 'of course we are, i would reply, thats because we have some mate! You ragging us is like the American trying to impress us with their history!

Now the very mention that they are the desperate old bird, doggedly following the younger birds about trying to pretend she still,has it! Thats does their heads in, 'we've won more than youse' they crow, yes i know mate, i reply, thats because we are crap! Thing is, we know we are crap, you still think you are something, and all the successful clubs are just laughing at you! Then i just kick back and enjoy the purple faced hysteria as they rant about Instanbul
God bless them, and long may they continue to make us feel,better about our woes

One of my best mates is a kopite, which is weird given the distance.
He's a lovely bloke.
I think that's why I don't quite detest the club especially when he's there wishing us to get out of our slump.
Have found some proper knobheads though.

Involuntary,one of my mates wife's wanted his autograph, so I asked him he was sound and said fine, gave me it, so then I said , you were on TV singing ynwa not long back weren't you do you like them,
No it's just a part , I like your team better, think he said he liked rangers as well,
I said well I think you better get up there and apologize to us for putting us through that don't you,
Somebody passing said do yourself a favour Robbie just do it.
He took it in good humour and got up and apologized.
One of the lads picked him up.and put him over his shoulder for some reason , we took his shoes and socks off and carried him outside tickling his feet ,while one of the girls took his phone and started random dialing people on his phone , some bizzar conversion s later, we let him have it back as he had to explain what was going on to some random yanks who obviously didn't have a clue what was going on, don't think they knew by,"I am being kidnapped by a gang of mad Scouser and they have took my shoes as ransom " what was really going on.
He was really having a laugh with us not false at all , minders wouldn't let him carry on the night with us , although he wanted to, saying that they weren't really very good letting a gang of drunks take him outside , shoeless.

Don’t give a monkeys really, they can say or do what they like. Bottom line is if we are good enough, they are irrelevant.

...hate is a strong word, I prefer dislike.

How about utter dislike?

 

[chrismpw]

Indeed.

The journey from friendly rivalry to outright hatred started the day Emlyn Hughes opened his big gob on the steps of St. George's in front of a crowd which contained many Evertonians whom had taken a vicarious pride in LFC winning the Cup.

And that "Merseyside" chant at Wembley in '84 was more about our mutual detestation of Thatcher's rotten England, which was in full anti Scouse cry at that particular time than it was about football IMO.

And the game was played against the backdrop of the Miner's Strike and the breaking of the Unions.

The City of Liverpool was regarded as a nest of socialist vipers and we were hated by Thatcher and her lapdogs in the press....a hatred which reached its absolute heights in The Sun following the Hillsborough tragedy.

Looking back, England really hated it when us and the RS were the dominant forces in the country for a brief but glorious period.

But of course their scallies could not go to a match in peace and screwed it up for us.

That is when I started to proper loathe the buggers.

This. Absolutely, totally this.

I've got to be honest I came out of that game and it was a mass mixture of Blues and Reds and saw very little gloating from their fans. It was quite harmonious considering it was two rivals who had just played.

However, I do recall a load of reds outside a pub sarcastically waving at us as our gutted coach drove past it after just getting out Wembley coach park, but I've no problem with that as we'd have done the same had we won.

To be honest mate I’ve never gloated because what goes around generally comes around
The thing that annoyed me was the gloating and in your face attitude to a young boy
Enough said
