KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum talk of extending the stadium

That sounds like you’re conceding to me.

The forum has turned into a petty, name calling schoolyard lately. We all know why, it's a shame.

Same person every time.

It's a pity, he saturates every thread with the same negativity each time he returns.

All down to you yet again

It's not about an alternative viewpoint, it's about abusing other posters for no reason which you start every single time. You started the 'initials' with DC or GC against people you don't know anything about. We all know what it means.

You abuse another poster for being Welsh which he isn't, so what's all that about? Pointless and uncalled for as usual. Even if he was why does it matter?

Stick to your 'alternative view point', we all know it's a wind up and to be honest we all just need to ignore you and you'll get bored and go away.

In the meantime try and stop with the childish insults on other people for no reason. Each individual person has the right to support whatever team they want, no matter where they are from. If you can't accept that it tells everyone everything they need to know about you as a person.

This is the last time I will respond to you and I suggest others do the same.

Are you conceding there spangles?

Sounds like you’re conceding to me.

Nobody wants a Bluenose wum here, haven't you noticed, you are unwanted here. I suppose it's the same in your life, no self respect.

Ok Bluenose, do as you wish, I feel very few posters will care.

What he is referring to is my point about gloryhunting when you accused oot folks of being such.

Read it again, or ignore it if you want to concede.



Are you aware that the man who started this site is from Yorkshire, not Liverpool? Is he a glory hunter for supporting Liverpool and not Leeds?

Now me, I am a foreigner. My family never watched football, and knew noting about it, but I had fallen in love with the game. I started supporting Liverpool 14 years ago when I was still a child because there wasn't a professional team in Georgia at the time, and I had English coaches growing up, my favorite of whom was a scouser. I loved the game and wanted to watch the English play (the English game was the be all end all to us Americans back then). He told me that to improve, I needed to watch the game at the highest level, and it would be easier to do that if I had a team to root for. He was a red, and he was my hero, so Liverpool became my team. I didn't know anything about their history or their stature, I didn't know if they were any good, I just wanted to be like my coach. I later immersed myself in the history and learned those things which solidified my feelings about the team, and I greatly admired Steven Gerrard, and he was always the player I wanted to emulate.

I also had friends and teammates who supported other clubs growing up who watched the game, and it was difficult for someone like me who wasn't very wealthy to watch professional matches back then in America, unless I knew someone who had a fancy satellite tv package. The friends I had with access to such things at the time usually often chose Manchester United, Chelsea, or maybe Arsenal because they were winning at the time, and I got plenty of stick, especially because most of them chose United. But I had my heart set on Liverpool, and I stuck by them, though supporting Chelsea or United might have been easier on my nerves if I were a glory hunter. It's gotten much easier to watch games here in the past 10 years or so, so my time following LFC most closely has been the period of its biggest decline since before Shanks. Is that glory hunting.

Now during my time as a fan, Liverpool have had some success, but they have never won a league in my lifetime (Born in 1991). Meanwhile, United, Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Leicester, and even Blackburn rovers have won it. There was the Champions league in 2005, the treble in 2001, and the odd cup success, but in my lifetime United have been more successful in Europe than us (one Europa League and 2 European Cups) and Chelsea have been just as successful (1 European cup and a Europa League). Does a glory hunter choose Liverpool under the circumstances?

Now you, you were born in different circumstances than me. You were born a city with two great football clubs, with access to the game I couldn't have even dreamed of as a kid. You had two choices, and you mentioned you had bluenoses as family, but you (or by extension your other family members) chose Liverpool because as you said "they provided me with plenty of highs and not too many lows." You had two choices in your backyard, and you picked the more successful one. So who's the glory hunter, me or you?
