Tired of it now. But it seems to me that it's an incomplete explanation. It's a football slogan - one that doesn't exist or make sense outside of the world of football.

Hats off to him for insulting Liverpool in the interview like.

That's like saying that if someone likes the z-cars theme, they're automatically everton or Watford fans. Its entirely possible that his parents did give him a necklace. But so what if he was a redshite growing up? Mountains and molehills, this

Makes perfect sense to me outside of a footballing context. Seems like a thoughtful thing to do for your child on his first day at school.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. In the second act of the musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, falls on his knife and dies after a failed robbery attempt. It is reprised in the final scene to encourage a graduation class of which Louise (Billy and Julie's daughter) is a member. The now invisible Billy, who has been granted the chance to return to Earth for one day in order to redeem himself, watches the ceremony and is able to silently motivate the unhappy Louise to join in the song."

No mention of football there....

Mentioned it in the press conference when discussing the tattoo, no reason given, and went on to say he was 'blue'.

Then he said 'sacre bleu' and 'he's out for me already', after reading extracts from this thread and daveks thoughts regarding his tat.

He knows he has to hit the ground running, he's gonna boss it.
 

The thing he doesn't realise is that, by saying he turned the redshite down twice, he will now score two own-goals in his first Anfield derby. Hades will make it so.
 
I must admit ive always thought 'youll never walk alone" as a bit slow and boring for a football song anyway. Just my opinion.

Removed from football the words are great, it just wouldnt get me going at footy game at all. I suppose thats another reason i like everton for z cars, instant hairs on the back of your neck time.

So i can get the non liverpool conection to the Digne tattoo. Its still a good song, with great lyrics, if a little slow and boring for my liking in the world of football.

And even if it is a 'liverpool tatto' he turned them down twice and plays for us now and is clearly very happy to be here. I like him and wish him the best of luck!
 
See people still going on about tat which is exactly what the RS want.

Let it go now this thread has been dominated by his tattoo getting tedious.
 

The tattoo is clearly a non-story. It's a different phrase to the one "those lot" sang* about their team for years.

Clearly if the rs see it as the same its because their grasp of English in Norway isn't top class.

* I say sang, past tense, because clearly none of them will have the brass neck to sing it again after the disgraceful isolation they treated Karius to after that runners-up league final.

Corrected it for you...

Exactly right... and who is surprised that a set of fans who are perfectly happy to reprise a song with seriously anti-British sentiments (Fields of Athenry) would also use a song from a gobshight thief/failure.
