Liverpool apologise to United over cowardly fans

[Rotty]

Maybe it was posted partially for your benefit.


Rotty 28th of Feb Liverpool v Man Utd racism thread.

I agree the stuff with the ambulance was out of order but the cups of stuff being thrown over the fans I am not convinced by , I was there and sat close to the manc fans


so surely you can see my reasons for posting this thread were purely altruistic

I didn't see anything but if it did then fair enough , I feel no need to apologise as I didn't do anything and have never condoned those that did

I have also never felt any need to expect all manc fans on here to apologise when I have had stuff thrown at me at old trafford as it wasn't the members here that did it ( at least I hope not )

IMO this thread was started with the intent of scoring points and was always going to cause friction which is why I kept out of it

Well if by that you mean he posted it to get at liverpool fans, then so what?

You think Liverpool fans should be immune to being dug at every now and again?

I dont believe you if you do.

and as such I did ignore it until the OP asked why many Liverpool fans hadn't commented

I agree, which is why i hadnt posted in the thread either, didnt really see the point in the thread other than to antagonise Liverpool fans.

I didn't realise i'd asked other Liverpool fans to apologise. When i said it would be nice for someone to say 'what I posted earlier' i was referring to the people who had already commented on the thread.

I also didn't realise what I had said would constitute demanding an apology? what would anyone on here have to apologise to me for as I wasn't there?

My ire is largely because when posting this -which i consider a valid thing to post seeing as there had been some discussion on here about the incident at an earlier date- I tried to word it in a non inflammatory way stating that what happened was not representative of most Liverpool fans at all. I tried to steer clear of Scouse or other derogatory terms. The main reason for that wasn't actually that i was worried about Liverpool fans responses but more that I wanted to set a tone for United fans not to jump on the whole anti liverpool bandwagon which would have set up a big 'crap flinging' thing as has arisen. What then happened was instead of a degree of mutual condemnation of a couple of idiots was a revert to type of fan rivalry with past incidents being brought up again and again instead of a discussion of the current issue.

Bit of a shame really.

not really , we all think that what happened was disgusting but I feel no need to comment on this as it obviously goes without saying , by the same token I do not start a thread every time I get hassle at old trafford ( or very occasionally other grounds ) because I know it would achieve nothing and just cause tension with all my man utd supporting friends

anyway as I don't wish to see aggravation in the forum so this will be my last post in the thread ( well unless I come home hammered one night )

I would say its not even worth arguing anymore, i don't think it's genuine football supporters who cause these problems at all.

In that away support at anfield, i'm pretty sure that isn't a representation of every united fan, but that to me was like 6,000 thugs, highlighted by about 3 people wearing replica shirts.

Whether anyone agrees or disagrees, i believe it was the united supporters instigating, highlighted by the 'where's ** famous munich song' chant, surely provoking a reaction, which they got with a few plane gestures. I've heard we take a few idiots to old trafford too, so its tit for tat.

A few 'thugs' attacking the ambulance does not represent liverpool football club as a whole, as the majority, behaved and didn't react to the idiotic chants from the anny road end.

The Riise chant after smith's injury was sung when most did not understand the full extent of the injury, i for one sung it, but i was the first to applaud him off, (A bloke behind me shouted don't clap him off) when i realised the full extent of the injury, the lad is brave, i have respect for smith from that angle. Do you think united supporters would have clapped one of ours off? NO CHANCE, not a single supporter.

The ripping out of seats, ******* everywhere, setting the toilets on fire and trying to charge the gates down by the mancs - reported by stewards, goes unnoticed though, and once again, scousers are given a bad name. (The S*n and 89' anyone - don't get me started on that)

Had the result gone the other way, i don't think we'd have heard anything. bar the gloating of the mancs. In the aftermath we've had 'boot liverpool out of europe, 'heysel campaigns' and all sorts. There is going to be a death in this fixture before long.

Whatever the intentions of the thread - it's weeks ago now, and obviously people still have strong feelings, but for one, i am not letting bitters slate the people of liverpool, or the football club, over actions which were in the minority, especially when there was equal/more given back.
