LinekersLugs Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 41 minutes ago, Danny Clender said: I see a future where Football Clubs will gradually reduce fans coming into their stadiums. With Amazon streaming and having the games so easily accessible, sadly actual in-stadium supporters will become non-existent. I think games will become invitation only events for fans entering into the Clubs stadiums with a closer monitoring of identities and stricter selection processes. I also think the game will begin to look like a virtual / digital platform and fans will be on screens or 3D projections instead of seats. I genuinely see this example and the continued rise in racist behaviour as the nail on the head for football fans. @Babylon asks 'is this how sterile football is becoming?' for me the answer is yes and things will only become worse. But just like VAR's introduction, who is to blame for this sterility? Dear me you need to read the book “chicken lickin” I would say the atmosphere at the KP is getting better at time ! I do not see sterile , I see a safe fun and entertaining place to bring my kids and their friends no matter what colour , Religion, creed or nationality they are .... think these sort of posts harker after The times when bad behaviour, boorish thugs and men who abuse women Were common place at football if last night was sterile , give me sterile anyday the build up was great ... the football from Liverpool was great , our fans were hear and my kids loved it , sterile my arse 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly Monaco. I’m with you on this. Leicester City is still largely a Labour area isn’t it? Sorry, live elsewhere now, but my folks are still there. The need to shock, especially in tribal situations is cowardly and disgusting, not "fair game", as some see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyJim1987 Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 Can't get why people say footballs become sterile, it's a separate argument. Being highly offensive to a set of fans is not acceptable simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 Someone somewhere likes to quote the supposed mantra of Scousers, which is 'Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing' - takes some gall to come out with that, given some of our support apparently unashamedly going out of their way to be directly offensive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooflip Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 There is a wider problem here. Don’t get me wrong this is in bad taste. But as mentioned above it was a wind up. Those doing it stoll should have known better. But considering what’s been going on in football and the wider world recently it’s not the worst thing ever. the worrying issue is the right wing uprising. And to think that’s happening in our city is very worrying. i am a white British 32 year old man. I am a product of multiculturalism. I consider my life to be richer because of multiculturalism. i find it hard to understand the right wing uprising as it is, it’s like everybody’s brains have fallen out. But it’s even harder to take in our city where we have a rich culture and a superb mix of difference. why on earth are people chanting for boris? I just don’t get it. Wish they’d have put the same effort into criticising and booing the team for not turning up for the last 5 weeks, maybe then they would actually make an effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics has no real place in football banter, your party allegiance is academic. However i don't like this same thing Labour and remainders say that tories are all racist. I voted Conservative for a number of reasons but I was well within my rights just like Labour voters were. I am not a racist, nor would I chant about Boris, but it seems all tory voters get labelled this thuggish way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making the mistake, the big mistake that Boris is right wing and tories are right wing etc etc. I voted Conservative not because I love Boris, nor because I'm racist but because I didn't want a socialist loon bankrupting the country. Immigration being controlled for example is not racist, but common sense which should have been done years ago. It wouldn't stop multi culturalism at all, but anyone not with jobs not with a trade or skill, not seeking work or anyone with criminal backgrounds, wouldn't be allowed to freely live here. What's wrong with that? The left wing Labour was more severely left than the tories are right way way more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t know why you’ve used the term ‘your party’. Politics doesn’t belong in football. Neither does songs about poverty or disasters leading to death. Sometimes there’s maybe a higher line when you face a local rival but we’ve sang chants of this nature at three consecutive games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallForEngland Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 (edited) Of course it's tasteless, that's the whole point. Liverpool fans have made it clear to everyone that they get very upset about the Sun (whether or not their response is a reasonable one is another issue). And in general they appear to be an openly emotional group of fans and get wound up very easily. Football fans in the terraces are generally very good at identifying what will wind up the opposition fans the most. If they acted with a quiet dignity regarding the whole affair, people wouldn't think to target it. But they have created this situation for themselves. They reliably flip their lid at anybody who fails the Hillsborough wallowing test, and they have armies of willing volunteers in the form of fans of other clubs who castigate anybody who isn't sufficiently mournful and sombre about it. It really is not the same as other fans holding up helicopters. But if, in a few decades, we boycott a newspaper for saying something we don't like about the crash, we refuse to play on the anniversary of the accident, lambast anybody who doesn't meet our sympathy requirements and generally get wound up when anybody doesn't say or do exactly what we think they should, then I would fully expect opposition fans to exploit our sensitivities. But we don't behave like that and, I hope, we never will. Edited 27 December 2019 by MarshallForEngland 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
