Nail on the head I think. When you’ve achieved the impossible, seen things you never thought you’d ever see, experienced things you never thought you’d experience, and realise that in your lifetime, it’s realistically never going to come around again, it’s not hard to see why the edge has been taken off things.
Winning the title was unimaginable, unfathomable, fairytale stuff. It was 5000-1 for a reason. It was a once in a lifetime event. When you’ve witnessed that, where do you go from there!
I think a large part of the fan base is still trying to find themselves after those great escape to champions league quarter final years. We’ve had our moments, pushing for top 4 in Rodgers peak period, European away days etc. Maybe a few years of struggle brings back that fight and appreciation when the good times roll around again, who knows? But it isn’t rocket science as to why the atmosphere has dropped off in the years since - especially this year with the lack of fight, endeavour and spirit, and that’s without no goals at home since before Christmas!
As for any blue on blue nonsense, it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t even related to the football or the situation. There were people ‘offering out’ with each other over vape smoke in faces at Brighton the other week. It doesn’t take much for aggro to start over not very much!
