Denny Crane Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 A Liverpool fan in my office is out for the majority of the day, what hilarious things can I do to wind him up about last night's result? This could be a bit tricky for you as Liverpool fans have the very easy and strong comeback of their Euro trophy count. Even if it had been Man Ure beating the Reds last night, the pointing out of Anfield holding five Euro Cups in its trophy room does somewhat put a gas in the Glams' peep. Your best bet could be to praise those stupid Yanks in control of the club but I'd check if you were a faster runner than your colleague first.

Denny Crane Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I thought they had sent people to prison for Heysel? You know fine well I'm referring to Hillsborough. And yes I am aware that people were convicted for Heysel (and released far too early in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally convinced that the post was actually referring to Hillsborough (a tragedy that as you rightly say needs reckoning) in the first instance though, more of a general Scouse need for public showings of emotion.

Wolfstar Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Liverpool are just the english sellik, always greetin and moanin about something. And scousers remind me of weejies too much and the cow joke is funny, typical british/scottish humour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 As a Liverpool fan, if someone said to me that Rafa's tactics last night were spot on and he was unlucky, I think I'd bite (in an office that is, not to the usual trolls on here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In the office this morning, I mentioned an observation that the Russian Embassy had stuck a banner up overnight drawing attention to Moscow as the host of the Final and how there was no queue outside of folk applying for visas (there's usually at least 20 at the gate). This was no more than an innocent observation and completely overlooked the fact that there are 2 die-hard 'Pool fans who almost burst into tears. No one has ever accused me of having the sensitivity meter switched on high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on boris! My other half is scouse and it was her that told me the joke! She and most other scousers that I know find the mass hysteria caused by the slightest thing even close to merseyside totally cringeworthy !!

DavidRae Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Why is it that matt74 has such a chip on his shoulder about all things Liverpool.

I'm not disputing that some take this too far but it is hardly a trait which is exclusive to Merseyside. Glaswegians, Geordies, Irish, Cockneys, Brummies etc all have members within their communities who wear their hearts on their sleeves (and then some).

I love how fans of a club down south can get so upset about results, its football not the end of the world. As explained many moons ago, I have blood ties down there. Given the nonsensical crud spouted by one or two idiots on this site, I feel they should be put right. Think about all the usual stereotypes about Liverpool and ask yourself, if Glaswegians and everyone else started spreading the same ill-informed tripe about Edinburgh, how easy would it be to control the urge to tell them to get stuffed? The crime/thieving one for instance always makes me laugh and wonder in disbelief how some stupidly recycle this urban myth. Two years back, the lobby group Reform did an extensive survey on cities and towns all over England and Wales and found that overall, Liverpool ranked 21st in the worst crime-rate stats (Nottingham, Leeds, Stockport, Bradford and Manchester) were the top five, with Manchester being the worst for......robbery. Liverpool didn't even come close. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=387271&in_page_id=1770 Still, no doubt there are some misguided fools out there who will carry on spouting the usual nonsense from their so-called crime-free neighbourhoods. One final thought on your "chip on his shoulder" remark. If something is talking or writing rubbish, I'm not going to stay silent because you want me to.

I too have family down in Liverpool. Your point about people spreading rubbish about Edinburgh, I really wouldnt care. Just as it does'nt bother me people saying stuff about Liverpool. Hearts fans sing songs about Hibs fans "raking bins for something to eat", I presume you avoid singing this as Hibs are a team from Edinburgh.
