I remember when Man Utd was bought by the yanks every Liverpool was  laughing..................well who's laughing now boys??? ;)

I think you might want to check out the difference between investment and indebtedness. I've no problem with anybody (American or otherwise) investing in Liverpool. The issue with the Glazers and ManUre was that they didn't invest a brass farthing, they took out a £600 million plus mortgage which took ManUre from one of the richest and most profitable clubs in the World to being one bad season away from bankruptcy. Hardly the same thing.

QuoteSomeone rang into the radio and said the chanting went on for 10-15 minutes.  Excuse me for not writing down his  name and address.

How can they have chanted for 15 minutes when Brennan was only out for 3 or 4 minutes and was then dragged back to the changing room.

QuoteBtw why is sammy's "I've just spoken to a lad" ok??
Not on it's own, but when he was actually there and his account matches the accounts of others who were there, then it adds to the evidence. The only evidence for the alledged sectarian/mother abuse is some callers to an RTE phone-in, who weren't at the match.

I've just spoken to a lad, who was there, and he confirmed the BBC account, virtually word for word, even though he's still in France and hasn't seen the BBC news.

Couple of questions:

1) What is the source for the stories about Brennans mother/sectarian abuse?
2)  Brennan came out to warm up and was doing press-ups (while the Ulster fans counted). He was laughing and joking with the fans. There was then some chanting about his pub and he waded in. This whole procedure lasted 3 or 4 minutes, so how can there have been 15 minutes of abuse?
