I spent most of the game with my head in my hands, appalled at the shouts coming from around me and what had become of our once-great support.

 

When exactly did we decide 'You're not singing anymore' was our new Anfield anthem? FFS, anyone who starts that off should be burned at the stake in the centre circle for half-time entertainment, its the most 'un Liverpool' song you could name. Not witty, not funny and downright moronic.

 

The savantes in front of me had decided before the kick-off that Crouch was crap (or 'that long streak of p*ss as they affectionately called him) - nothing down for him all night, as they regailed us with their views of how they would have 'taken that one on the chest, carried it in and scored', or how they would have 'flicked that one on'. I wondered if it was only me who was watching him work hard, bring others into play superbly well and score an excellent goal.

 

Also one thing I really disapprove of - supporters calling our own players 'c*nts' etc. Some of the abuse you hear is just so out of order. When a player is playing poorly fine say so to your mate next to you, if they make a bad mistake feel free to groan, its a natural reaction. Standing up and calling a player a stupid effing c*nt because he miscontrols one pass is f*cking disgusting. Anyone who does that should be stoned at half-time by the players he's abused, I'd pay extra for that.

 

Now admittedly we were in The Main Stand where our season tickets are, and it may well be different in The Kop for example. But with our season tickets where they are, it seems that to be amongst loyal, witty, vocal support you simply have to go to away games.

 

Just before half-time there was a little lad behind me with his Dad, he must have been about 5 years old. He said to his Dad 'Dad, Fowler should be called Robbie Scorer because he never fouls'.

 

I have to say that was the most sensible comment I heard from anyone all night, and I'm not being sarcastic.

wasn't any different in the Kop Leo. We had some lads behind us who, granted were some of the few in 103 who sang almost all the way through the game but they commited two heinous crimes:

 

Every time their No 7, Little, got the ball they were referring to him as Fenners (as in that goon off soccer am), and even shouted 'oi fenners' when he took a corner.

 

Number two was doing the 'easy easy' when we scored our 4th.

 

f***ing embarrassing soccer am ponces.

Yes and no Wayne. Plenty of people who were local in the Anny Road who had brought their kids with them, but also plenty from down south, and none of them seemed to have much of a clue.

no, but there were plenty of locals around us who left with 5 minutes to go and didn't say a f***ing word during the game. How f***ing difficult is it to sing Li-ver-pool, Li-ver-pool? our support is a disgrace at times. That's why I didn't say anything to these soccer am-ites as at least they sang throughout the match.

Good question - I'd have to say no myself, mostly Woolly accents with the annoying shouts although that could mean anywhere from St Helens to Burnley.

 

Some Scousers as well though - the blokes in front of me who wouldn't leave the 'long streak of p*ss' alone were locals.

There was a cracking arl fella behind me in The Kop sat with his missus. Proper old school moaning like how it used to be in the Kemlyn and Main Stand in the olden days.

 

"That's not a pass. Look what you've done now. Here they go two going for the same ball. Bloody rubbish. All over the place they are. Thats their throw. We were offside. They'll throw this away watch this."

In the match thread people were saying that there was an excellent atmosphere because there were no 'wools' at the match....

 

How would they know if they were in the match thread and not there?

 

Plenty of Wools, OOters as normal. Was just a different younger soccer f***ing AM atmospehere.

Two scalls in front of me spent the whole 2nd half watching & bluetoothing porn on each others phones. It wasn't too bad round us though, just that easy s**** like Spike mentioned.

 

 

 

And did anyone get on to the kids in the Anny Road? It must have been a school trip or summat. They all started singing Liverpool together, dead high pitched. It sounded like the crowd at an England under 21 game.

must admit that them singing that Reading are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen was well bizarre. After we came back with our own version we took to shouting 'after Reading' at the end.

It would be nice also if those who are not interested in football and Liverpool in particular left the tickets to those who are.

As we were leaving from the Blackburn game, two women emerged from the Ladies and said "Oh, has it finished" (though I have to say that their make-up and hair was immaculate :rolleyes: )

Last night someone asked me if I was a steward (must be the red coat) and if they could leave at any time because they found the place claustraphobic and they didn't like crowds.

If your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, siblings, kids, parents or whoever are not interested, then LEAVE THEM AT HOME

I went to see the Boo radleys in leeds about 11 years ago with Sutty, and we got down to the front and there were these 2 girls who right infront of the singer, and then just about 5 mins before the band came they turned round and said to me "Dont crush us" "You are at the front of a f***ing concert" was the response

Similar to the charity shield.

 

I think the availability of tickets and not the usual mad scramble means that a lot of non-regulars go personally.
