KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum great article by dunk

sorry guys im not very computer savvy, theres an article on the main site from dumk that i tought was a great read about local fans and oots as there called. some very good points in there about whats really important about following your club.

maybe someone with half a brain more than mine could post the link lol

cheers wakka. i never realised that there was a hatred towards oots until i came to this site but i also realise that its a small few morons that spread that hatred and most lfc fans welcome fans from all over the globe. as with everywhere in te world you will always get a small number of ignorant morons that cant be helped.

yep agreed but the majority of scousers (of which i'm one)are not actualy that stupid. Never seen or heard anything outside Anfield to suggest that any red whoever they were would be unwelcome. Only happens on forums or some dick in the bar who has never been to a football match let alone Anfield

I wasn't aware that there was so much of this OOT nonsense these days. Just to keep things simple, I wonder if these 'locals' would prefer it if we only fielded 'local' players? 7th place would be a dream come true!

yep thats what i was tryin say merseysmack, ive gone to games for years and never had any problem and always found scousers freindly and very warn towards everyone. probably like you say just a few idiots on forums with nothing better to do

I am a woolyback e.g I live in Liverpool but not from Liverpool. I do get stick 99% good natured but Liverpool people are part welsh part irish and do have an insular nature. They tend to stick together in adversity and mistrust outsiders as a general rule. However in recent years Liverpool has (and is) expanding and is one of the biggest growing populations in europe so the old scouser is becoming diluted or replaced. Whether that is good or bad I can't say. In terms of Liverpool FC the real issue is not OTT (whatever that means what is town?? Kensington, Toxteth, West derby, kirkby, knowsley, st helens) but the price of the tickets which is forcng real fans out of the game. I know Liverpool has a lot of Irish fans god only knows how they afford the fare and the ticket its bad enough living a few miles away.

true stan and to answer your question we dont, well most of us dont anyway, i used to go to at least 5 games a season but the last couple of years ive been lucky if i get over to 1. agree with you about ticket prices we hit a global recession but the ticket prices keep rising regardless which does nt make sense at all.

This couple from Singapore is fantastic.

Tell me honestly, how many of you would walk down the aisle with YNWA like they did instead of a usual wedding song?

I noticed the stoke game was not a sell out (42k) its hurting now. I only go to prem games now. The OTT argument is not only silly but irrelevant soon no one will be able to go. And once you stop going you don't come back.
