It's not all of them though , is it? Just a few cnuts.
It's a very small percentage of Liverpool fans who are cnuts on that scale.
I think the majority of Rawkites think Munich jibes are in poor taste. However, living among Liverpool fans, I've witnessed more than a few crass comments and incidents. At uni, my scouse landlady thought it was hilarious to give her hubby a birthday cake in the shape of a plane cut in half. He was a Liverpool fan like her, so I didn't get why she'd done it.
Scousers, man. So fecking bitter

That's disgusting. I loathe Liverpool, the sound of their accent makes every hair stand up on the back of my neck in horror but I could take no pleasure at all in any tragedy they were involved in. Some of them seem to know no boundaries at all.
No wonder they love him so much, he's as deluded as they are. He's just a poor man's Fergie.
Which is right
'Poor man's Ferguson'
hehe
hehe
Poor man's Ferguson?
That's too much of a compliment to him if anything.
He's closer to a rich man's Hodgson.

On another site I've seen someone (a Villa fan, no less) call Dalglish a closet Manc for not telling the team to lie down and take it up the arse
Well, scousers are poor.
Haha. Maybe there should be a Hodgson v Kenny debate ....................
On the subject of the whole Munich thing, Liverpool fans in general seem to look down on the minority that constantly sing Munich jibes, but when they actually play us that is very different. About 50-60% of scousers tend to do the aeroplane sign, every time we play them.
One moment that sticks in my mind is our 2-0 loss at Anfield last season. We were all a bit miserable, being kept in as the scouse hordes flooded to the exits. One guy, probably about 30ish, was doing the aeroplane, along with everyone else walking down the aisle closest to our fans, but the difference was that he had an 8-10 year old daughter. He then stopped her, showed her how to do the aeroplane and watched as she did it, both of them laughing away. He then kissed her on the head in pride, and carried her out. I honestly felt sick that they could raise their children like that. Absolutely unbelievably low.

Horrible tale in terms of the Kid involved but that stat is very wrong in my experience
Why do we care so much about them doing aeroplane and stuff, it doesn't mean anything so long as we honor and remember it as a tragedy that unite us, we're not 8yo kindies who can easilly get taunted by no class scouse, we're more than them.
I do not share the sentiments as i live outside UK, but seriously, i'll pity them more than annoyed if i were in your shoes, pity that someone can stoop so low , and pity the daughter of that scum as well
I'll just walk it off, they're classles, we're not

Do you not catch the "murderers" chant from some of your lot?
I'd be more inclined to condemn any United supporter who might joke and gloat about the deaths at Hillsborough. That would be more of a comparison. I don't actually remember seeing that regularly at games, but I may be wrong.
I don't care, doesn't come from me.
In regards to Hillborough/munich there's only 2 category, cnuts and gentlement, regardless of what color of their jersey
Is the murderers chant about Hillsborough?
Won't lie, that went over my head a bit. Especially since we chanted it at fecking Charlton a few years ago.

Why would we sing that at Bobby Charlton?
Fair enough. I thought by "they" you meant Liverpool fans in general and by "we're" you meant United fans in general.
Pretty sure it's about Heysel.
If Hillsbrough didn't happen, we'd be subjected to Munich chants én masse at Anfield every time we play them, like we used to pre 1989. That's a fact.
fecks sake, I'm shocked that United fans honestly think the 'Murderers' chant is about Hillsbrough. Hillsbrough was a horrible tragedy where 96 innocent Liverpool fans were killed. Heysel was a horrible tragedy where a huge mob of rioting scousers forced Juventus fans to the edge of the stands, killing 39 as the wall collapsed.
I'm not condoning the chants for either incident, but the two incidents are very, very different.

yours is a very simplistic view of heysel, whilst some truth lies in what you say, the juventus fans were not without blame for the tragedy.
Not at all. Missiles were thrown between the sets of fans, many Juventus fans included, but it was the Liverpool fans who broke through the barricade, forced their way into the Juventus stand and forced the fans to retreat, resulting in the deaths.
I see this thread is taking a turn for the worse. Didn't think it was possible, mind.
This shouldnt be brought up in a thread primarily to take the piss out of Liverpool fans
I agree, what is going on here? Munich, Hillsborough and Heysel (and the lowlife cretins who make light of the tragedies and use them in 'banter') have no place in a light-hearted pisstake thread mainly about the purple prose and delusional rantings & ravings of a certain online section of the Liverpool support.
Wise up, or I hope you "feel the full impact of the Liverpudlian communion"!
Slim pickings over at RAWK at the moment -- the grand orators are going through a bad patch, it seems. Let the thread rest until they "burst forth once more with the earthshaking power only the primeval force of Liverpool can unleash!"
[All quotes genuine RAWK material]
It's no fun when they're doing well as they have nothing to play for. I think we'll have to wait until they buy some new players, get some pre-season wins under their belt, Kenny gets a contract and then, and then, and then...IT'S ON!
I also think there'll be some classic bitterness if we get #19.

Absolutely, and I'm also looking forward to all the '...their success is ephemeral, mere chaff in the wind to delight a giddy child, while the eternal numinous value of Liverpool Football Club can never be diminished by mere statictics alone' and 'The Liverbird rising like a radiant phoenix to blaze a new trail in the destiny of Liverpool Football Club' posts we'll no doubt see, if we should win the league.
(But the season is far from over yet, so I'm not taking anything for granted. *knocks on wood*)
Here's the classic 'full impact of the Liverpudlian communion' post to get this thread back on track. It's without a doubt my favourite post of all time, on any message board --
Istanbul Reflections: Where's there's a will ...
A small sample --
"Faith, hope and raw human will are abstract concepts. Not being tangible, their power, strictly speaking, is not measurable. Within the legendary hymn of Liverpool Football Club these concepts do appear, however, to have evolved a medium capable, when the circumstances demand it, of harnessing a rare collective power that passes from crowd to manager and player.
It is the focal point where the entire history and tradition of the club come together to weld with the present. The communion so forged is occasionally wielded to astonishing effect, realising objectives apparently dead and buried. Olympiakos, Juventus and Chelsea had previously suffered at its hands.
Now a magnificent AC Milan team in rampant first half form and seemingly home and dry felt the full impact of the Liverpudlian communion and in the end it proved too powerful even for them to handle."
Gold, Walt... absolute gold. 
Charlie Sheen levels of nonsense.

This is the first time I have seen RAWK registrations open.
That's coz they're optomistic. They think they will definitely take 5th from Spurs and also have a good chance of taking 4th from City.
And probably win the title next season.
Well, that's a given, as usual.
