As far as families go,the rivalry within them where one half is blue the other red then itl be friendly banter between them,but i think outside the family ties these days it can be different,i suppose they arnt called bitters for nothing! on the other hand most ordinary sensible people will choose to keep it as light hearted banter. im sure some may disagree tho! wink

Life is beautiful when you find Love
when you find the place your meant to be
when you find the one to give your heart to
as for me
this is you
this is Love

If I remember correctly, this was a feature of the 1986 Cup final. This is one of the things that made LFC special...

LFC are/were always a humble club... even at the height of success LFC didn't rub others faces in the dirt... there was never any arrogance... and (unlike you know who) LFC didn't think they were above all others even though they we winning the league year in year out.

These characteristics were demonstrated on an individula level by Sir Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Ronnie Moran, Roy Evans... an these is what attracted many of us to LFC and gave a good impression of the people of the city - both Red & Blue.


It was always good to hear of Everton defeats... but in the nicest possible way, just a bit of fun.

Nowadays, it all seems to have gone a bit too bitter and serious. It's such a shame. Would be good if it could go back to the old days... we can set an example to others.



Keeping the fans apart played a part in it being a more hostile rivalry nowadays.


it started in the early nineties with the dogs of war attitude which transended through the club and fan base. Later the abuse Fowler used to get from Everton fans was un-believeable and it has slowly got worse to the degree it is today. As I said in an earlier post it's not just us they hate it seems to be pretty much everyone. My Manu suporting mate talks about the semi-final 2yrs ago at wembley and he has never seen an english club fans behave in such an aggressive manner and he has been many a Liverpool/manu final or even a Leeds/manu game over the years.
I had quite an affection for club as I live locally but now try to avoid watching their games in the city as it can get quite uncomfortable, mainly the younger generation to be fair.

I think thats true about the younger lot cp..although alot of their so called firm is made up of 40 somethings,alot of ott from wales and wigan lol and the likes of the idiot from wales writing total pure fiction shhiittee in that scally book adds to it..and he knows its shhittee made up to.
also they did have a big racist element..as did lfc..remember barnes and the bananas he was pelted with.largely thats gone but not completely.realy they just resent lfc for its success its had and wish it was them.efc did used to be seen in liverpool as the catholic club but that stopped years ago.my old dad from ireland actualy liked them because they were catholic he said haha!!
The only way a ground share could would or should happen is if efc completely dibanded altogether..ceased..and there was only one club in the city,lfc, and then the benefit of all the extra fans would be worth it.its always baffled me tbh as to why anyone from liverpool suports everton anyway,seriously,and ive asked evertonians why as everton is just an area in liverpool therefore lfc is the team to follow.their answers were they just did suport them..because they did.they didnt know why.
Perhaps one day it will indeed be that they cease to be,the sooner the better.
