KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Time to set an Example

Ben if you read my post you will see I have clearly pointed out its some of us older generation fans who might have to take a bit of the blame for the younger ones to be filled with so much hatred and dislike for fellow football fans from other Clubs. This as I have pointed out is evident on our forum here with the common use of the word Scum, the thing which does baffle me is that there is a thread condemning Manchester United fans for using vile chants towards Hillsborough and the same people condemning United fans are in turn using vile words like scum to describe them, if that's not hypocritical I don't know what is, you honestly couldn't make it up could you.
I think there is a definable direct link with people in general who do start off with the vile chants against one another and it usually leads to the situation we found ourselves back in the 80s with fan violence, police escorts to and from grounds and fans being kept behind an hour after the game had finished until the home fans had drifted away, this was the football I grew up with and have no wish to return to those dark days, that's why I think these types of postings needs to be nipped in the bud, just my thoughts tho...

what a scummy thread, zero chance of the OP joining our family now.

I pretty much went to all games during the 70's and 80's and there was hardly any club who caused more grief at games than utd fans and they were always in the papers for some sort of aggression where ever they went

Nonesense most clubs had firms including Liverpool in the 70,s and 80,s the most famous being Chelsea West Ham mill wall Birmingham and Stoke yes United were troublemakers too but not the worst by a long chalk

what a perfect post to summ up the point am trying to make about the younger less educated posters on our forum who due to lacking footballing experience don't realise the damage vile chants and postings do to a football Clubs reputation.
