ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

What strikes me about the average RS fan these day's are that they are not really interested in football.

Unless it involves the cult, and in true Stalinist North Korean fashion, all external clubs and players don't exist.

This occasionally back fires on them in spectacular fashion, they sign a player ( of whom they have never mentioned before) and he becomes 'da best prospect in da world'.

A year later, the same 'best prospect' leaves on a free to a minor German team, and is never spoken of again.

He is erased from their collective consciousness and official club history.

As orthodoxy dictates, Cult's are always right and never make errors of judgment.

Try talking to any RS fan about Lionel Messi, and within 10 seconds, it's all about 'the superior' Mo Salah.
 
Sadly, the city is pretty much universally disliked. It’s the 21st century, yet [Poor language removed] heads everywhere wheel out tired old cliches about Scousers. Millwall fans, last weekend, “I’d rather be a P*** than a Scouse”.
I think it's got worse again recently.
 
More’s the pity. I hate the way things are between many blues and reds these days. It can be poisonous at times. That said, I still know plenty of sound reds, including friends and family.

I don’t buy the Heysel stuff. Why didn’t the European ban result in the break up of their team? We were unlucky not to win the double the following season and won the league the season after that. I can’t stand Evertonians, who were born years later, using it as an excuse for us having been mediocre for decades.
Reigning league champions in 87 and Kendall (the architect behind those triumphs) left for Bilbao for european football, the rest as they say is history....

Never heard anyone claim Salah is better than Messi. To be honest, I’d not entertain discussing footy with anyone who did. That said, my interaction with Kopites is somewhat limited nowadays. I no longer live in Liverpool, so it’s just a few family members and a handful of friends.

You name it I've heard it from them, salah better than messi is one of the tamest ones I've heard , titi camara is one of the best wingers this country has ever seen , is my favourite.

Ita not an excuse though for the younger generation to mention heysel. That's their mums and dads who were witness to a great Everton side watching it get torn apart because if no European football so of course they are going to mention it to the next generation.

But you say you don't live in Liverpool anymore so I doubt you hear many Evertonians going on about it ( unless you go the match and it's a weekly thing you hear where you sit ) I'm 40 years old, been going since I was 8 and I've heard it mentioned twice at a match in that time.

Well you've got something in common with the majority of Liverpool FC and its supporters. They never even mention it.
