The hypocrisy of this place dumbfounds me. Had the tables been turned, this were the Liverpool squad singing distasteful songs about "victims" "battered fans" and "players being injured" this place would have gone into meltdown...amazing
Yup, but we are supposed to be the most vile supporters and club in the league according to all those other angels at the other clubs.
For one thing I personally know someone (friend of a friend) who was beaten up by local thugs in Kiev, so the statement from City that they weren't chanting about the barbaric attack on Shaun Cox - but fans 'battered in Kiev' doesn't lead me to think 'well that's okay then' from a bunch of millionaire footballers. They've just won the league and that's what they're singing about, seems absolutely daft to me. Footballers revelling in injuries to fellow pros is low whatever way you spin it. Yeah but Liverpool would have been unbearable if they won the league.
Yeah, its the same as the coach shite that keeps getting thrown in our faces, yet the Man City fans doing exactly the same to a Wigan coach a few years previously seems to get ignored, as I said, pure hypocrisy when we're involved.
The coach was obviously bang out of order which 'never your fault victims' LFC club immediately came out officially and apologised unreservedly for, for the actions of those idiots. Klopp was furious about it and made his feelings known, it soured his night. The statement City have made is ridiculous. Just apologise because the staff were out of order and then it puts it to bed. I only even heard about this by seeing that statement which insinuates that singing about battered fans and injured players is okay, which I find astonishing from a club in an official capacity. It's far from the preen and polished, PR, corporate shine they give themselves on Amazon Prime documentaries.
Honestly? Feel free to **** off whenever you want The ‘wah wah wah the forum bullies us’ schtick is really old now.
Well, as has been said by almost everyone...you expect behaviour and songs like that off fans and no, its not ok...but players? Nah
Oh FFS woe is me time, anecdotal bollocks and if it was us bollocks. "Pampered billionares" cant sing these songs but fans can? Thought folk wanted footballers to be in touch with the fans At the end if the day, they have got carried away and been caught out, its hardly outrageous, think folk were faux outraged originally then when realised they were barking up wrong tree have just doubled down.
To be fair I have just about had it with this place and can take your advice. I don't begrudge anyone hating Liverpool. It's their right, but coming on here to face the barrage all the time has become too grinding. People aren't even fair minded about it any more generally. I think it's sad the level of hate and bitterness around in the game in general these days (aside from local rivalries which is part and parcel) but that's the way it is. This chant is an example of it tbh and nobody is more put out than me when our fans are pricks before someone throws something up that someone has said or done. I knew we'd get a lot of schadenfreude about not winning the league and it'll be unbearable for another 12 months if Spurs beat us (I always knew City would be too strong and I congratulate them) but it's just depressing having to put it up with it all the time, coming onto a forum where most people just hate you (your club). If it's a negative experieence why bother with it.
Or just not take it so seriously? It’s a largely anonymous forum based on football. You’re not being personally attacked, only your club. Football really isn’t that important.
To be fair if have given zero f*cks if it’d been Liverpool players singing a song like that. Football is football. And those songs are part of it. I mean Jesus our lot were singing about chasing the skates down goldsmith Avenue at Watford away. It’s hardly like City are alone in those kind of songs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Speaking from my personal perspective I don't give two shits. I do think it says a lot about them as individuals though.
