Newcastle United 2-3 Liverpool - 04/05/19 - Post match reaction from p 27


Recommended Posts

Football is a very tribal sport. For many people that's one of the reasons that makes it so appealing and sets it apart from every other sport out there. In saying that if you choose to sit in the wrong end it doesn't necessary have to be a problem if you behave in a decent manner and show respect to those around you. Indeed I've done it many times myself, even at Sunderland, and I've never experienced any problems because I've done just that.

 

Many liverpool fans who had managed to get tickets in home sections on Saturday weren't respectful. In fact they were the total opposite and in many cases were antagonising home fans and inevitably they were met with angry responses and in some cases violence in the Gallowgate End in particular where most of the fighting broke out.

 

Ultimately If you act up and deliberately provoke people you need to accept the consequences of what you are choosing to do and that's not just at the football, it could be down the pub or wherever. That's just the way of the world.

Surely not celebrating when the home team score outs anyone as an away fan though

I'm 99% sure I had a Liverpool fan sat in front of me in the Gallowgate. He didn't celebrate their goals but he didn't celebrate ours either and he looked very uneasy when the outbreaks of trouble were happening around and about us but because he was keeping himself to himself nobody bothered him.

 

He didn't take his seat for the 2nd half like.

Not like these lot to force their way in to an area they shouldn't be in then blame everyone else when it all goes tits up.

 

Indeed.

 

Not nice at all lads.

 

I’m hoping you’re not referring to Hillsborough. If you are, that’s fucking arsehole craic, if you aren’t, you must be pretty stupid to not be able to see how people would interpret that. Not cool.

Imagine the situation was reversed and someone like Ayoze dived for a FK which was converted. Effectively ending the title race.

 

He’d be getting death threats and everything. Vilified by all the tabloids as being ‘everything that’s wrong with English football etc etc’.

 

Liverpool do it and it’s completely ignored as it’s good for the brand.

 

Wankers.

 

I’m all for City winning it in the jammiest possible fashion.

 

Bang on.

My Liverpool supporting mate, without a hint of irony, kept saying all day how "lucky" Man City were winning yesterday, because Leicester "dropped off and just let Kompany score!"

 

Edit: the world is going to be as insufferable as the Trump win if Liverpool win, isn't it? Gosh.

Just know that this is going to lead to bad feeling, next time we play Liverpool - either hour or away. The coke/knacka brigade among wor lot will be itching for their revenge. And all down to NUFC seeking to make a few extra quid. ?

This. Liverpool is usually the away game i look out for for an overnight stay. Enjoy the city and find the locals generally friendly and hospitable. After struggling to get booked up a few seasons ago we ended up staying above 'The Pineapple' pub in Toxteth. My childhood memories of Toxteth were of it in flames during the riots, seen on TV, so we were a bit apprehensive. Turned out we enjoyed every minute and were made very welcome. Relations took a downturn on Saturday sadly. I think if the shoe was on the other foot we'd try and get in the home end at Anfield but for NUFC as a club to provide LFC fans with tickets is crazy. After seeing the videos of them singing in the lounge you ask yourself why they weren't ejected then?
