ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

I think Jota may yet turn out to be a dud. 50 mill on him was the upper limit on the fee. He scores some annoying headers admittedly but he’s not the same class as Firmino Mane Salah were. I’m not sure Dias is either despite the media hype,
It's hard to tell with their attackers, as they are slotting in beside two genuinely top class players and it gets easy to get at defences because of it. Same with Diaz. How good is he really?
 
Oh, you're back, Odders. Our turn again? Any word on your favourite Everton match or even your favourite all time player?
for real??? you actually believe im a kopite!!! no way fella! have a look back at some of my previous posts. gawd bless us and save us! really! youre having a Turkish aint you Guv?
 
The Iron Lady. She was quite an admirer....and they admired her....

Remarks visiting Liverpool Football Club. A red scarf saves day for Blue leader

A red scarf saved the day for Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, the Conservative leader, when she made Liverpool F.C's Anfield headquarters her first port of call during a hectic 24-hour visit to Merseyside.

Mrs. Thatcher was wearing a powder blue and white costume when she met team captain Emlyn Hughes, wearing blue slacks, in the trophy room.

Emlyn suggested the leader of the Blues was wearing the wrong colours.

Quick as a flash, Mrs. Thatcher whipped out a bright red neckerchief and put it round her neck. “I've come prepared,” she joked.

There was another slight problem when Mrs. Thatcher admired the U.E.F.A. and Football League championship cups.

Emlyn warned: “Don't try to lift that. I couldn't and the boss couldn't, and we both dropped it.”

When Mrs. Thatcher lifted the large trophy, the base fell off.

After being presented with a gold necklace, with a Liverbird on it, by the chairman of the club, Mr. John Smith, Mrs. Thatcher went to see the famous Kop.

She heard that it was fifty years old and that the reconstruction work on the stands was to cost £420,000.

When manager Bob Paisley invited the Tory leader to visit them and watch a match, Mrs. Thatcher said she would love to.

...i`m still a bit giddy about Doms diving header to consider any other match besides that. i dont go for the `i need to prove myself` thing. others on here might need to but its not my bag. but i like contradicting myself and so on, so i`ll name the obvious one so you can still play your game of spot the kopite- being in the Park-end vs Bayern Munich
 
Didn't mention Klopp but have before, I said I felt for the family men who had been attacked while just going to a game with their family, I also called out the scumbag fans who used fake tickets and I'll admit I didn't go into great detail about anything else really, just what I saw on the video.
I wasn't questioning your post,just that they have used videos of the unfortunate bystanders to try to push their "we are innocent as usual" narrative.

You literally picked two games ago ?

Can't work out if you're
(a). One of Bannon's crowd
(b) Someone from a media agency paid to keep the RS's reputation 'clean'
(c) Random nutter who's buying an AK15 as we speak

or, and this is my pick....

(d) A saddo who has literally no life so goes and trolls strangers for kicks.

None of them are great life choices, but you're no Evertonian, mate.
 
This is an interesting one. The Iron Lady turned toward her favourite football club and its chairman John Smith for advice on how to deal with hooligan supporters...3 months before Heysel.

Mr Smith advised Thatcher that it's all the NF's doing and that punishment for clubs with hooliganism could and should be fencing around the outside of stadiums as well as inside.

Three months later there's Mr Smith blaming the NF for his own fans killing spree...and we dont need reminding where his advice to cage us all in lead to 4 years later.

 
You've....er.....literally been doing that. Hence, the irony.... Seriously, give up the trolling. You're sh*te at it.
where have i been critical? ive seen BNP crap, racist crap, nazi crap, fascist crap etc etc thrown around, alluding to posters giving another point of view for mentioning actual facts. if i`ve come out fighting, pretty please with sugar on - allow me to defend my corner. but you wont will you - youll double down because you have a closed mind - youre so blinkered you even think i`m a kopite!!!!! come on lad.

This morning in "le parisien" paper.
France - Denmark :
Une semaine après le fiasco le stade de France retrouve le sourire.
A week after the fiasco the Stade de France smiles again.

Now I wonder.

This despite being beaten. No problems with the access, no trouble with visiting fans, no reports of invasion of scallies from the banlieues.
What's the difference with last week?.
Would you agree that usually for internationals at the SdF it is usually a very friendly chilled out crowd, lots of young people, families and girls. No hooligans in sight? It was certainly like that last night before the game.
