The perspective in this photo is mind boggling.Whilst I hate FKWs', the once that have their own special place in hell are the ones like these 2 that include wearing a captains' armband or head gear
Just like any school photo - midgets to the front, giants to the back.
They are supporting LFC? The CL trophy, FA cup and PL trophy are coming home?
That's about all rivals can do at this point. We've become genuine title contenders because of our strong defence and Alisson is a GIANT part of it.They can try and unsettle him all they want,he's not one to pay heed to nonsense.
When I heard it I initially thought it was reference to Glen Hoddle as England manager, he was ill that morning.
I'm always quite amused by things that wind people up at football matches. The leaving early thing always puzzled me although I do realise that for some people there is a good reason. When I had a Main Stand ticket back in the 80s there was an Indian doctor that sat a couple of rows behind me that usually left early. Apparently, his shift started at 5:30 so he needed to get away in time for that. I always used to stay back for 15 minutes to hear the final results which also meant I missed the worse of the crowds.
Ha ha. I am now thinking of starting a thread called”the bloke behind me”.
Barnes v QPR in 1990, to win the league?I'm always quite amused by things that wind people up at football matches.

Half-and-half scarves was one that bemused me as I can recall Liverpool-Celtic/Rangers half-and-halfs back in the 80s and I also remember Liverpool-Everton ones being sold at the 1986 cup final. To me these were just keepsakes for special occasions and I have a couple: A Scotland-Germany one (which was given as a present from a German friend) and a Spain-Japan one from the Olympics. I think the outrage comes from people wearing them at ordinary league games as they are presumably bought by football tourists taking up seats from "real" fans.
I can't understand watching football, concerts or any other live event through the medium of poorly recorded smartphone footage. Particularly when so many games are professionally televised as well. I did used to do odd bits of photography at games but it was usually during lulls in the action. In fact, this was one of mine. It isn't the best quality as the photo it was scanned from is rather faded but can you gusess what goal this was?
Spot on (pun intended!) There was a chance that we would tie up the league that day so I took my little Olympus compact camera along. As it was a penalty at my end of the stadium I thought I'd try to take a picture as it could have been (and was) the goal that won the league.
Nice one, here's the highlights on you tubeSpot on (pun intended!) There was a chance that we would tie up the league that day so I took my little Olympus compact camera along.

At the time I could hardly have imagined that it would be 2018 and we are still waiting for that to happen again. I took a shot of the post-match celebrations as well that bloody pillar!
Imagining Jurgen's reaction listening to this from Moreno is hilarious haha
This entirely. Aside from the fact that they are usually crap games this is the main reason I detest the Man Utd fixture. Around the time I took the photos above there was an old lady who sat next to me who had been going to games since she was a little girl (pre WWI, I seem to recall). She was visibly upset by Munich chants and particularly those name-checking Matt Busby because to her, and many other older fans, he was a much loved Liverpool captain and had always been "one of our own" especially around the time of Munich but also when he eventually won the European cup.
Yes apart from Man Utd obviously.
This is evident all over the internet- not just on football forums- where responses to polls regarding the best (insert subject here) of all time end up being limited by posters to the best they have seen in their lifetime. Guess what, people. Your lifetime is not the same thing as all time.
That is spot on except for one glaring mistake. I'm not a retired docker from Walton. I drove a fork lift truck. By the way, that was a private conversation between me and Albie. You shouldn't have been eavesdropping.
Oh come on, if we win or United lose it shuts the sods up for a few days!
Even if football started after 1992, these "fans" must realize that as recently as 2002 their club played in the Second Division...
WTF? Is that a Utd shirt??When fans of clubs pretend they're locals. People from America referring to us as "bin dippers" for example, because they see locals on other forums use the term, and they're desperate to fit in. (Some of our own lot do it as well, mind).
@Red Ted has the other big one for me - the obsession with Gerrard's slip amongst other fans. Lost his footing and fell, it happens. (And again as he said, this in the wake of "Captain. Leader. Legend" John Terry doing the same thing taking a penalty in a Champions League final.
And also the state of this cunt:
That’s anew one,here Iwas thinking it was about 61/62.must have been asleep for while.2002 might have had something to do with the PL though.
I am speaking of City here mate
The half and half scarves don't bother me as much either. I suppose it took moving away to America to make me appreciate the sheer amount of effort, commitment, and money it takes for foreign (and in the eyes of some "not real") fans to make the trip to Anfield. A lot of the locals probably take it for granted, they go to a dozen or more matches every year, but for the millions abroad it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. So to me, perfectly understandable that they'd want mementos of the occasion, be that a half and half scarf, or photos and selfies of themselves at the stadium. (To a point though, the lads that record the entire match are going a bit far - although ironically I noticed Redmen.TV are doing that now, so they get "fan reactions" when goals happen and the like)
Yeah thats a good point but it's a real can of worms isn't it ? I am all for cutting us "out of towners" a bit of slack (I live in Surrey) but you've got to draw a line somewhere. A one off "half n half" is ok by me but even then I think I would struggle if it as Man utd or Chelsea game. Selfies and filming YNWA alone are a bridge too far in my book.
Fella I know *HATES* OOTers with a passion. Hates them. Gets pissed off when he sees people in the stands with their phones out, detests the selfies and whatnot, and can't stand the "placcy merchandise" stuff as well. Pint or two in him and he admits a lot of it stems from the fact that the club allocates too many tickets to foreign fans and feels locals get fucked over as a result. Partakes in another forum, because TIA is too full of wools.
