Why can't all Liverpool supporters be like this?

[TX Bill]

So I'm at a local bar where I play poker on a semi-regular basis last night and went over to the bar to make sure they had the USA vs. Canada Gold Cup match on.

Apparently I wasn't the only one interested in the match as there was another guy there who was having a drink and wanted to see it. So they get it on the telly and he and I start talking football. He had a bit of an accent but it was faint and at times, I didn't even hear it. At any rate, we're talking for a good ten minutes about the US players, etc, etc... and the subject of Landon comes up.

At that point, I tell him I support Everton and that I felt Landon did well for us. He said that he thought the same. We talk about Everton some more and I said that while we started slow and that we finished strong, at least we got four out of six points from Liverpool.

He grinned and I immediately said, "You're a Liverpool supporter aren't you?" He acknowledged that he was and we started talking about their season and how our seasons seemed to mirror each other. He was complementary about our club and it just made me think to myself that "why can't all of their supporters be like this?"

I realize that there are always going to be haters but this guy was a pleasure to speak with. The best part was he actually knew about not only his team, but he knew quite a bit about the league in general so we had a lot to talk about.

Well that wasn't the best part. The best part was the USA winning and me getting 2nd out of 18 in the tournament.

Most reds i know at the boozer i work in are sound, i have great banter with them. In the main reds are sound, the Scouse ones anyway (i can't take Cockney or Southern Reds seriously). However they do come out with some turd, and this thing about self-obsession and wearing every possible merchandise to the match and all these div sayings like "King Kenny", "Stevie G", and singing things like "Maxi Rodrequez run down the wing for me" makes them look like pyar divs.

Anyway back to the original point, i have a few red mates, who are sound and when you get down to them, most are complimentary about Everton too and Everton fans. One fella in our pub, as much as he hates us, respects our fans for how we go the match and take loads away. To sum up, there ok, but a bit deluded and meffish sometimes.

Glad you found a decent one TX anyway in your bar and did well at the poker.

some red****e fans are ok

Urgggh every single red I know is sound as a pound until you start talking about football. Then they morph into the largest tit possible.

this. cant have a decent footy conversation with em particularly southern ones.

 

[Ireallyhatether.s]

ALL sh**e fans I know claim we're obsessed with them but they only ever talk about United. Makes me laugh it does.

Amen. The worst part is when they all seem to decide that we're more bothered about them losing than us winning, and start banging on about how "a good season for us is one where Liverpool do badly."

You know, the sort who are like the fans from The Ballad of Dixie and Kenny.

I'm about 50/50 with their fans. Half decent, other half complete melts who have already informed me that they will be winning the league next season.

Ok.

Got a couple of Liverpool friends

1) Is the typical - "No way did Gerrard dive, he's the ****in best player Ever, why would he dive" type

2) Told me, he'd have the Everton team over Liverpool's last season. So he's OK.

Proportionate to Evertonians, Liverpool have much less decent people supporting them. That's just the way it is. No use trying to understand it, much less debate it. It's one of those incontrovertible truths.

 

[chicoazul]

Loads of my mates and family are reds and sound. They do my head in sometimes like but isn't that what it's about?

I'm loving their net spend theories at the moment, ie: Carroll, Suarez and dat Henderson cost only 6m lar.

 

[ToffeeDan]

I don't believe you - I don't know any sound Reds. Furthermore one of the few I'm on speaking terms with never coughed up the £20 he owed me on his lousy odds bet we had (RS to beat Everton in the FA Cup game at Analfield - I mean EVEN MONEY for that AND they didn't win - NB he generously 'gave' me the draw but I'm still waiting to be paid - says it all for me. Plus of course he's an out-of-towner.

Most kopites I know are deluded. Ugly and boring.

Of course dude, you should be completly ashamed of yourself.
