It won’t be their fault.

I used to be a season ticket holder for about five years. I’ve been happy to be a mindless gibbon when the situation demanded, singing anti-Pompey songs, even songs about them being dole blaggers or bin dippers.
Your chant refers to Heysel, Hillsborough or both. It indulges the current PM’s view that the city. I’ve fallen out with people over this before, and I’ll fall out with them over it again.
Heysel was a crumbling wreck with shit planning and shit match-day preparation. Hillsborough was a death trap, and officialdom does what officialdom does. Tries to cover up it’s mistake.
“It’s never their fault” is a straw man chant.
My worst fear is that you think Heysel somehow equates Hillsborough. In one sense it does; the absolute failure of the authorities to ensure a football match took place safely.
In another sense, it’s mindless eye for an eye proffered on the predicate that it’ll make any sense to the relatives of anyone affected.
Thousands have gathered outside Anfield, it has been described as being like Bournemouth beach yesterday. The BBC and the rest of the media appear to be cheering them on, almost encouraging it. Madness.

If you turn out to be right about the gathering tonight causing a second wave of Covid-19 infections in that area, will you blame the government for failing to prevent it? Because those that attended it probably will, and won’t take responsibility for their own actions. That’s the point I was making, nothing to do with heysel or Hillsborough.
Scousers winning was an inevitability so in my own churlish way it was about how they “didn’t win it” this year. The whole covid and will it restart or not routine properly riled the fans … too funny. And now they are winning it while they’re all sat at home with their cocoa during a period where fans are not allowed in the ground. It’s nothing more than they deserve and if I’d been Citeh, I too would have thrown it rather than risk those wankers turning me over in my own back yard with a Mane shanked effort to win the title on my turf.
Photos of fans on streets is nothing more horrific than the photos of wankers on Bompey beach. It’s all about natural selection innit.

Nope, but I can blame the government for allowing the Atletico game to go ahead during the peak of the coronavirus, especially when the visiting fans weren’t allowed to attend games in their own country.
I also don’t understand why the club is treated so differently. If Saints had won the League last night and you were in Southampton, you’d have been out.
Was speaking to Young Adult Unit #2 before the game. Man City had been ripping it up, but when the other side just needs two points from eight remaining games, hearts are not going to be in it.
I will be interested to see what sort of game the two sides have now.
I can’t understand all the noise in Liverpool…half the fuckin’ city was on Bournemouth Beach yesterday.

The passion the locals have for their club and Northern teams in general piss all over Midlands and Southern clubs, they wouldn’t have got the numbers Liverpool got outside the ground last night, in fact probably only Liverpool get that in England and Celtic in Scotland.
Pap, Liverpool aren’t without some questioning concerning their fanbase, fake tickets and storming the Champions League Final in 2007 and the massive overcrowding in the stadium, they’re not angels.

Bollocks…you weren’t around on 1st May 1976 were you.
What do you mean bollocks?
When we won the cup the celebrations in the City would match ANYWHERE. Fuckin’ mayhem all day, night and the next day’s Bus Tour around the city.
How can you quantify that?
Was there a corona virus on?
As much as it pisses me off, Liverpool fans turn out like no other and their fans actually help them get results like few other teams do.
I doubt Southampton was quite like that as much as I’d love to believe so.
Didn’t we have 200,000 around the City in 76? Fantastic numbers but I was referring to last night when 1000’s descended to the City centre and Anfield, an example of Liverpool’s cling on size but size none the less is their season ticket waiting list, it currently is cancelled ie you can’t even get onto the waiting list as its closed as its 70 years long.
This is modern football and this is what happens when little Jonny wants to support the big teams.
Were talking about a provincial city of 250,000…a team playing in the second division. A fan-base made up of mostly local people who had never won a football trophy. The passion you so glibly dismiss was there for all to see…but you weren’t born so you’re just going to have to take my word for it.
I was born then and I was in that crowd but anyway, I’m not talking glibly at all, I’m proud our support is mainly from where we’re from, Liverpool’s Liverpool support is amazing it really is, passionate and I have nothing against them, its the day tripper cling on glorys fans from all over that wind me up.
Half of my mates from down south support Liverpool yet know fuck all about the City vote tory and dislike Scousers, whats that all about?
Southerners have house prices to worry about not football, its always a southerner who says football isn’t the be all and end all, at the heart of a community the football club should stand.

You mean, they’re even better fans than anyone else’s because they will even infect each other in order to celebrate?
