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

Talk about irony of ironies.

From the 1984 LFC annual statement:

"In this age of violence and hooliganism, it is particularly gratifying to mention that on the occasion of the European Final at Rome our fans behaved themselves exceptionally well and I should like to pay tribute to them, especially in view of the fact that on many occasions in the past British fans have rightly come in for some criticism for their thoroughly disgusting behaviour. I hope that the conduct of our supporters can set an example for the rest of the country."

The 1985 accounts didn't see the light of day...predictably. When the 1986 accounts came out though they published this:

"I would like to pay particular tribute to our loyal supporters who have demonstrated once again that they are not only the most loyal but also the most knowledgeable supporters in the country, and without whom we would not have achieved so much over the years."

No wonder that lot have a Brussels sized blind spot.
 

Imagine if our fans were even 10% as passionate and supportive of that lot.

There’s one major, major difference between the two clubs as a fan base; they get behind their team no matter what.

Just imagine if it was Everton who were 3-0 down against AC Milan in the CL final. There’s not a chance in hell we’d have been able to pull that back. They got behind their team and believed they could do it even when the odds were stacked against them. There’s just no belief that we can succeed, and that’s a large part of why we’ll never be as successful as them.

Can't disagree with any of that tbh

Agree completely.

We would if we had the tools available at our disposal, ala Bayern Munich in 85.

Are you even an Evertonian mate? Why don't you jog off back to RAWK, tit.
