The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

Surely not being in any of the European cups would be a better advantage when seeking to win the PL for the first time, no?

Europa awaits.

Jurgen will be in the dog house after they drop points at West Ham.

Gooners to make the top 4. Groundhog day!

What is it United fans say about Liverpool fans living in the past. Lol

Good to see Liverpool back at the top table again...

Hmm.. 8th in the league and reaching the final of the 2nd Tier European competition that UEFA are considering doing away with because no amount of renaming can attract sufficient interest to make it a marketable product is hardly "back at the top table" 🤔

No doubt Barcelona and Bayern Munich are kicking themselves that they're not dining at Europe's "Top Table " playing Liverpool in the Euro Carling Cup in few weeks!  😃😃.

I wonder does St Galls still think so little of the Europa League..

The bizarre spectacle of my fellow Liverpool supporters attempting to downplay Liverpool's top 4 prospects despite it being a near certainty continues.

The only certainty is that Liverpool fans will act the Bollix on their travels and then play the Hillsborough card to get a bit of sympathy

Bit much that. All clubs have fans that act the bollix.

Anyhows - 4th place a certainty now. Utd will get whopped by the Yids and Arsenal couldnt string 3 wins together

Who is a WUM? What exactly makes someone a WUM in your eyes? Is it just that they dare to have an opinion which differs from your own?

Agreed

Someone who doesnt put a smiley on the end of their posts is a WUM

Are there no mods anymore?

4. Inappropriate posts, incitement or racist posting.
   This is a very broad topic, and can be the most subjective in the way the moderators view things. In general, it would be the 'good manners' rule. Specific examples of
    inappropriate posts would be the following. (This list is by no means conclusive)
      - Abusive posts between fans of soccer teams, clearly not part of good humoured banter. Mentions of Hillsborough, Munich, Heysel or alluding to these incidents in a
        way designed to incite other posters to break forum rules.

Disgraceful from Avondhu Star to try and point score using Hillsborough.  Worse still when someone takes a stand by calling out the vile chanting from their own fans United v Liverpool games, only for a so-called fellow fan to post an "ah sure both sides were at it" response rather than have the balls to agree with calling out the vile element of their own teams support.  This "we are one big family" crap makes me sick.

Where are the mods indeed? They've been turning a blind eye in here recently. Whats the consensus regarding halting site remarks? Been a few of those made over the last few weeks when posters can't deal with their issues and resort to type.

Some pathetic comments on here from lads that wouldn't have the guts to say similar in the real world.

Genuine question- would you tell your family/mates about the 'hilarious comment' you made on an internet forum in an attempt to seem tough? The mention of halting sites or hillsborough to score points is beyond pathetic and needs to be called out as such. Disappointed that regular decent posters let this rubbish go without comment.

Liverpool will get 4th- and deservedly so over the course of the season.

Why do some people who were in no way directly affected by the likes of Hillsborough, Munich etc,and don't know anyone who was, get so worked up about an Internet stranger making insensitive comments about these types of incident?

It might make me think less of the person who made the comment but I wouldn't get upset about it. I'd be genuinely keen to hear from anyone who can explain this without slabbering about me being a troll as usual.

But he's not making a comment about Hillsborough or Munich per se.

This is what he said:

He is saying that Liverpool fans engage in hooliganism and then, when held accountable for it, try to get out of it by appealing to the Hillsborough disaster (however that particular piece of logical gymnastics is supposed to work??).

Given that some people here travel to watch Liverpool play, I'm sure some take it a little personally being lumped into some false, imaginary, stereotype.

Don't personally care myself as the only thing such a comment does it paint the commenter as either a clueless idiot or a gobshite trying to get a reaction.

But, it is against forum rules due to past degenerations of discussions and so should be highlighted. And again, its not discussions of the incidents themselves which has been the problem. It is when the idiotic songs are used as some sanctimonious justification of the moral superiority on behalf of either or other team's supporters that is the problem.
