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

[davek]

They should have had a protest before the game, at half time or at the final whistle but to walk out on your team during a match is, frankly, madness.

It has hugely backfired and Everton need to go to that tin mine and hammer them while they are in disarray - I have been waiting a long time for revenge for 1982!!

It was all about them being still rubbish on the field of play, like all their desperate stunts in recent years. "We're still here, we're still important...look at us, looks at us, look at us!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[orly]

Amazing that they are now holding Alan Shearer up as The People's Champ, a moral bastion in a greedy age

Certainly knew how to throw the People's Elbow the utter bulb

and LOL @ him saying £10/£20 is the correct price range for a ticket - he charges that per person, per photo at dinners at which he is the after-dinner speaker

 

[AndyC]

I would guess the amount of day trippers compared to other clubs is very very low

I personally have no problem with the day-tripper fans.
They're buying tickets previously unsold or through the likes of Stubhub so the club and/or the original purchaser are not losing out... and more new people get to watch and hopefully fall in love with the Blues.
The difference comes when you compare us to the clubs who actively target day-tripper support by offering blocks of tickets to hotel chains as I'm pretty certain both Chelsea and Manure do.

...remember shortly after Klopp arrived and they were backed into 9-1 to win the league. They are currently 750-1. I once heard GOT sponsor, Paddy Power, saying that the money they take each season on punters backing the Pool is a significant part of their profit.

How does that work, Egg.

Hiw can the touts be sure of having the pass returned to them after the game?

Him and the rest of the commentariat are all riding the wave of the exploitation of football fans. I had to laugh yesterday when that Sky panel were nodding in agreement with the cause of less cost for ticket prices. They're getting millions on the back of it.

Unreal.

 

[Deggo]

Can't speak fir anyone else but no......I could no more contemplate including the RS on my coupon than I would include whichever team we were playing.

And I don't just limit it to betting them to win.

I will not include them on my "Both Teams To Score" coupon either.

Imagine I had to hope they spawned a last minute equaliser in a game in order for me to win a bet

My wife would think I had taken leave of my senses if she caught me dancing round the living room celebrating an RS goal

I just hate them too much to take any pleasure in profiting by their success.

No.....the Liverpool fixture never features in my coupon, unless it is for the other team to beat the buggers

Bitter,twisted and proud

We're a little vulnerable on this one ourselves to be honest, but I broadly agree

Yay.........

Go with them to swipe it?

.....presume you are talking about transferring match tickets. Others on here might have more detail but I'm aware that in parts of Ireland there are folk with season tickets who sell them on a match by match basis. I assume they have a regular customer base or get names and address of purchasers.

Slightly off-topic, but I was howling at him suggesting Leicester winning the league was the equivalent of his Blackburn side winning the league in 1995

http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/L...-nearly-200m/story-28348688-detail/story.html [just for values]

In Leicester's starting XI yesterday, the most expensive player cost £7m. Blackburn;

To win a league, a team must invest in playing staff. Rovers admittedly spent a considerable amount on their strike force, twice breaking the British transfer record and parting with £8.3 million, while also signing Tim Flowers in a record deal for a goalkeeper. However, in terms of financial outlay on the first team that won the league, that is just about it.

Leicester's squad value in terms of transfers spent according to the local rag about £50m. City's about £300m on transfers alone.

Relative Blackburn to Man United in '95?

Peter Schmeichel, Denis Irwin, Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, Andrei Kanchelskis, Paul Ince, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Brian McClair, Mark Hughes and Andy Cole cost £19.33m.

Whereas Flowers, Henning Berg, Hendry, Ian Pearce, Le Saux, Stuart Ripley, Mark Atkins, Sherwood, Jason Wilcox, Shearer and Sutton set Rovers back a comparatively low £14.7m.

But hey, let's not publicly pull the 'talent' up on anything they say that might be a bit of a porky

 

[Dan Tanner]

Don't know mate,but they sure like a demo, what was all them black flags about, behind the goal ?

There the scouse ISIS don't you know

The blert McKenna-o will be stoning and beheading fans in front of the kop who don't toe his party line, the Ayatollah Aldo will be delivering his sermons online in his piss stained bright green Kappa shellsuit whilst shouting at the passing traffic in Old Swan. Everyone supporting or playing for them will have to legally add a "o" to the end of their name to sort the wheat from the chaff, whilst old Kenny Doglead-o will be standing outside the main stand with a pair of underpants on his head and 2 pencils up his nose repeating the word "Wibble" whilst 55000 Asians and Norwegians queue up to take selfies with him for £50 pound a pop.

You pick your 'ticket' - season pass - up at a hotel or a house near Anfield. You return it to a pre-arranged meeting place after the game, normally a pub near Anfield.

But how can the tout be sure the person will go to the pub to return the ticket, hull?

Do they have to Keane a cash surety or something?

Surely then the ticket holder would contact the club saying it's been nicked.
