Bought by Liverpool for a reputed £10m -  that's £3.3m per goal or one goal per season  -  sold on for £3m

The Real Laoislad

Liverpool FC

There is overwhelming evidence that Liverpool Football Club supporters were the first to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" en masse. The song was famously covered by Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers in 1963.At this time, supporters standing on the Spion Kop terrace at Anfield began singing popular chart songs of the day. Their "inventive ferocity" was captured on camera by BBC Panorama in 1964.One year later, when Liverpool met Leeds United in the F.A. Cup Final, the travelling Kop sang the same song and match commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme commended the "Liverpool signature tune." Liverpudlians have been singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" since 1963. Fully 46 years.
It was later sung by many different supporters throughout England, most often during important cup matches. For a time, it was almost considered a National Standard.



Celtic

Celtic sang it on two or three occasions during the 1970s, along with Aberdeen and Hibernian, though it was only popularised and formally adopted by the Parkhead faithful in the mid- to late-1980s. Liverpool were invited to play a charity game at Celtic Park following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 (which, incidentally, they won, by four goals to nil). Both sets of fans sang it together as a symbol of unity and support. Only in the years to follow, as both clubs repeatedly came together in a series of friendly fixtures, did Celtic begin to sing it on a regular basis, otherwise they have no legitimate claim to the song, nor is there any earlier evidence seriously linking them to it. Liverpool can produce an abundance of written material and video evidence. Celtic not so much.


You'll Never Walk Alone.

Clearly last night was the first derby youve watched this year Laoislad - now your coming on as the complete know-all

Last 3 before last night were all exciting games with Celtic playing as good a brand of football since the O'Neill days

last night they did their job and won ugly, against a side who were set up to kick, foul and get bodies behind the ball. There isn't a team in Europe (apart from Barca maybe) that wins whilst playing great quality football every week, why would you expect a team from Scotland to do so?

And Arsenal


"Well ! Well ! Well !  If it ain't the Smoker !!!"

You'll Never Walk Alone.

McCoist the cheeky chappie darling of tv shows is pure media  fabrication. A bitter wee fcuker behind it all
What evidence is there for that?
Which one of you bitches wants to dance?

So you have a dislike for Celtic because they sing a silly song that Liverpool first sang?

A 'silly' song?

Anyhow, no big deal. They stole YNWA, LFC stole the Fields of Anfield Road. Fair exchange is no robbery.

He's a clown. Some of the crap he comes out with is unbelievable. I'm sure playing the match behind closed doors every time would be a massive boost for the Scottish economy though. ::)

Yeah cause the police work for free at the old firm games outta the godness of their hearts ::)

Wouldn't be surprised if Lennon was given the biggest punishment from tonights game despite those disgraceful Huns tactics, discipline and McCoist trying to get into Celtics technical area in first half

No need for it all to be blown out of proportion - 2 managers squaring up, it happens lot in the drab English game, why not in the heat of an old firm battle  :D

Almost as if Diouf was trying to start trouble at the end there

Raners tactics of every man behind the ball and their constant fouling made for little football

anyway, a wins a win
no need for it unless Atilla and his boys packed the defense as well
Private Cowboy: Don't shit me, man!
Private Joker: I wouldn't shit you. You're my favorite turd!

You really are a bit simple aren't you.

If you think i'm simple then you must have intellectual disability?
