The Fanta Scruff stuff is the most perfect illustration of what they are all about as a club. Get to a European final (albeit one that the big clubs don't really care about) and have an opportunity to have a fun day out, watch your team play, interact with the locals, generally make friends and share life experiences. That is very much the Evertonian way ah la Rotterdam. Go, represent your club and the City with dignity and enhance it's reputation.

Compare that to them. Go abroad. Mouth off on TV about Everton and spend 90% of your focus on the true scouse team. Have the intention of finding foreigners, attacking them and causing as much disorder as possible. Get drunk/hyper on soft drinks. Once you have a gang of supporters to back to you up try to attack foreigners in their end, unfortunately get laid out and generally disgrace the city.

This sort of thing used to be hidden fro the public eye but it's out their now and the perfect illustration of why they love Europe. It basically allows them to indulge in their NF fantasies of terrorising foreigners and gloating about how Evertonians can never do that (why would we want to?). They are essentially Glasgow Rangers MK2 (and share the same lineage as them). This is what Europe offers them.

This season that is now numerous football stadiums they have started fighting in, sung songs about the dead and generally tarnished the city's reputation in. They currently under investigation for previous charges and they add to the trip sheet.Europe is their platform and it's what they exist to do.

Of course Evertonians will never experience that but what they will never understand is that we have absolutely no desire too. The problem for me isn't the knuckle dragging bitter idiots who are so overcome by stupidity and hatred of Everton they can't simply enjoy watching Liverpool but have to frame their enjoyment in Everton not being willing to drop down to their degree of violence. The real point is how these idiots are enabled by the football club and the few sensible supporters they have who brush off such behaviour. Where is the acknowledgement even that such a culture exists? What are they doing to try and challenge it?

For pointing these things out, all they will do is laugh and make comments about what they have won. They are the equivalent of the super rich who when breaking laws laugh and tell you how wealthy they are. It is changing the argument so they don't have to challenge the corrosive culture that makes heroes out of thugs who want to terrorise the continent and goad Everton about it.

I'm glad we are the opposite of him. We will never experience what you experienced last night and I would never want too. I'll follow Everton abroad and go abroad otherwise and refrain from acting like EDL/NF/Glasgows Rangers style knuckle dragger. That is the essence of LFC now.

In their Europa league run they are facing numerous charges for fan violence, incendiary chanting, flares in stadiums across multiple games. Once again a load of fans have travelled without match tickets to numerous games. To top it off they got through two rounds playing a player who was drugged on a banned substance. Despite this, the only story the media is interested in is a very dubious handball in the final. Someone really needs to shine the spot light on their horrific behaviour but they have a media safety blanket. Too many people have an affiliation to them to ever do anything negative against them.
 

After the defeat last night there seems to be a lot more of them trying to give Everton fans stick, this didn't happen in 2007 when they lost the final. Also the Fanta scruff before the match talking about Everton.

They seem to be using us a gage for success more and more lately.
