Topic: Kopites, The title and our part in it.

[CHOPPER]

This thread needs to be merged with slightly more impassioned, and certainly more inebriated, other thread!

[Anfield Kopite]

Alright Delia!

Nah. Just pissed off at the lack of atmosphere at times this season. Not good enough in my opinion.

[Jookie]

The issue with this type of rallying call on RAWK is that vast majority of people on here aren’t regular match goers. Myself now included in this.

Rallying call needs to come from other quarters to be heard. Even then a load of people won’t hear that or don’t like being told when to create an atmosphere.

The good thing is that organically the crowd can put in a performance. Hoping the collective will is there on Wednesday to do so

[FlashingBlade]

Klopp said he wanted Anfield to turn up for Luton, like it was a European night....lets see

If we had a time machine Id want these lads... .https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1zUGDxI1KI/?igsh=dXdxcG4yN2hkYWlu

[Jookie]

Assuming it’s a raucous atmosphere, willing the players on whilst they struggle with a full team out injured. The 12th man making the difference in the time of need and responding to the manager’s pregame rallying cry.

I’ve only seen the score so no idea I’m my assumptions are correct or not.

doesn’t sound good on television, must be the day trippers

Sounded great 2nd half on my stream.

[MonsLibpool]

We've only lost 1 home league game (not behind closed doors) in 7 years.

How Jurgen galvanised the crowd has been a key factor.

[jillcwhomever]

I think that none penalty ignited both crowd and players it was mightily good after that. Well done, all.

[CHOPPER]

Took a while like tonight. We’re there for 90 minutes by the way folks.

Having said that, 45 minutes of that, is 90 for most grounds, so whilst doing well, way more room for improvement.

See me.

Thought it was decent 2nd half.

The Stewards can be right moaning bastards though

Agreed on both, but we should be all over this. It’s ours to influence and win.

Bring back the mad coach welcomes, bring the noise, bring the pyro!!!

There were two lads infront of me in the wheelchair tribune, doing their very bet to create an atmosphere trying to get sogs going n stuff. High 5ing the lads in the wheelchair balcony
From about 85 onwards they both had their scarves up. I was moving my head around to see the match when a Steward gets involves and asks these lads to put their scarves down as I couldnt see.

It was terrible, I wanted the ground to swallow me up.  I spoke to them later to make sure they knew it had nothing-to do with me and the Steward just got involved for no reason. They got the tickets in a Ballot and dont get to the game that often.

Luton was decent
Lets make tonight better than Luton

Those were the days. I do wonder though if it ups the pressure on the players though as a lot of times we've went full on its backfired or we've fell short. Theres probably a thin line between fan passion and the pressure the players feel.

We're on the long road maybe the wrong road
We're on the road to God knows where
We're on the long road
Maybe the wrong road
An ' all together we don't care
North men , South men comrades an ' all
From Old Swan , Huyton , Childwall , Sparrowhall
We 're on the long road
Maybe the wrong road
Singing our Liverpool songs ...

Loyalists are we
Who's lives are pledged to Liverpool
We are from
From the Mighty Spion Kop
God Bless them
Born to be Red
We are loyal Liverpudlians
We'll follow our team throught the land
Tonight you'll see the Red flag high
For Liverpool we'll fight and die
As we march . . . ( can't remember that bit and too late to phone me Ma and Da  )
We'll chant our Loyal songs .

Go 'ead !

[kesey]

I was meant to post that in the Conor Bradley thread about a month or so ago when the Irish songs thing was going on.

Has this thread become the rattle bag where you can post anything vaguely relevant? Hope so. 

Let me introduce to you to world's oldest Kopite. Scratch that. The oldest man in the world. John Tinniswood, born in Liverpool in 1912. Seen all but two of our League Titles and every other major trophy we've ever won. Get him to Anfield for the Wolves game.

[disgraced cake]

Wow. Someone who saw us win league titles in 1921 and '22 could live to see another in 2024. That's crazy.

[kesey]

If ya ' feeling tired and weary
and your heart it skips a beat
You will get your fuckin head kicked in
If you go down Heyworth Street

If you go into the Sandon
You'll hear our famous noise
Get out you Everton bastards
We' re the Bill Shankly Boys

We're the boys from the Kop
We're loyal and we're true
And when we play the Everton
We're ready for our do

To the cries of No Surrender
You'll hear our famous noise
Get out you Everton Bastards
We 're the Bill Shankly Boy's

C'mon you can't do nothing wrong Mighty Reds !

Great song. Used to be a favourite of mine back in the day Kesey. Still is. But sadly never really caught on with the whole Kop for some reason Remember it more at away games in the '60's.

As for the Loyalist song, it came in in the mid '60's just after 'I am a Liverpudlian' and 'We are the men from the Anfield Spion Kop' but again never really took off on the Kop

As for Choppers original call to arms. Totally agree and have to say in recent years no matter how many tourists or voyeurs are in the ground I don't recall any vital games when the crowd haven't produced the goods and I'm sure we'll prove that over the next month or so.

That song gets me going more than any. Me da use to sing it to us as kids abd it's been etched in my mind ever since . I know we are playing United today not Everton but like I've said it's the one that gets me going the most.
