Topic: Our fantastic away support

[newterp]

How boss was the Bobby song? It was so so loud in tv.

Did VVDs song get an airing?

[CHOPPER]

Like minded people, singing like minded songs. The power of the people.

Great to see the same old faces in the same old places.

[lgvkarlos]

Mega today, literally sent shivers down my spine when they belted out "we're gonna conquer Europe"  after the first goal.
It was so loud it was like the whole stadium was singing it

Was hoping the traveling Kop would just continue it for the rest of the match, sort of Gregorian chant stylee...

[Welshred]

The Reds have got no money we're guna win the league

[KevLFC]

Football seem different with fans in, you can tell players seem to raise it a bit more if that makes sense

[monkeyharris]

Just home
That was …fucking boss
Loudest we’ve been in ..well defo 16 months at least🙂 and I’d add a few months on top
So great to be back amongst it

[iamnant]

Seeing and hearing our boss away support yesterday was just such a beautiful sight. A boost we all so desperately needed. Let's bring that into Anfield for the next game.

The 'fuck the Tories' chant is stupid. Most of the players probably vote for them anyway (l doubt they were signing up for higher taxes under Corbyn) just like they did in the 80's when Thatcher was destroying the city.

This 'Tory bogeyman' attitude only holds the city back, while blindly voting in a shitty Labour Party who have done nothing for the city but feather their own nests. I can't stand them either, but it's self-defeating. Johnson is fair game for obvious reasons.

Sensibilities change. Only 10 years ago there was a chant for Ngog which in the 2020's would have us hung, drawn and quartered for racism. It's the same with homophobia. Some things are just a no-go these days. Obviously racism and homophobia were always wrong, but anything that can even be construed as racist or homophobic is a no-go, regardless as to whether fans might think it's harmless or a bit of a laugh.

I always find the fuck the Tories chant funny. I wouldn't be surprised if our owners voted for them! At the end if the day I rather leave politics out of football. I personally don't like any of them.

[RainbowFlick]

Having been a supporter for many years I have seen the chants that go against public opinion drift from our lexicon. I wonder how many on here sang the "Don't bend down when Dougan's around ..." song or joined in the "Oh we don't have n****** on the Kop" chant? The Dougan chant was laughable then not so now, and who could countenance that racist song today? The rent boys one is also one that will go but I wonder where the oppbrobrium will extend to? I hate being called a "murderer" or told repeatedly that I live in a slum and scavange in bins. I guess because Liverpudlians aren't a group which has great national support or sympathy we will just have to accept that it is part of football.

poverty or anti-Scouse sentiment isn't a 'protected category' which is where the line is probably drawn in the minds of many (https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights). obviously, the jibes and songs about poverty in Liverpool are awful, but I don't really expect any Clubs to be standing up against that sort of thing despite them being incredibly crass.

our club or the supporter's organisations could try to combat these things but i'd imagine it'd just get worse, whereas discrimination due to protected characteristics the club has more of a requirement to safeguard around

Couldn’t disagree with that more
For the first time in my 40 years plus of match going we finally have a retort to the sign on shite we’ve been listening to for 50 years or so
It’s fucking beautiful to hear the entire away end chant that with venom towards the idiots who start with the sign on shite and shut them the fuck up. It’s entirely us and fully justifiable that it’s now the slogan we stand behind towards that

I enjoy the 'Fuck the Tories' chant but there are some people singing it just to fit in, often by people with similar right-wing attitudes ironically. It is a good response when people start singing about poverty or whatever, although I think it's more about a Tory attitude rather than specifically aimed at Conservatives.

Yer wha?....

[kavah]

Looked like a superb away. The Bobby song was fantastic

[CHOPPER]

Some fucking bollocks being spouted in here.

This website does not represent the Liverpool match going fan base, nor the city as a whole. So stop chatting it.

Exactly this. The 'Fuck the Tories' chant isn't sung randomly just so we can say fuck them its always in response to Tory behaviour by home crowds who start singing sign on and in a city with a Labour MP it embarrasses them pretty quickly like Norwich yesterday.

We really do have some utter fuckwits getting tickets.

It could be worse as we could have people who have fuck all good to say about the club and spend their whole time posting/chatting negative shite like you at the match

It was a great day yesterday and I'm an absolute wreck today but man its good to be back!

[Red-Soldier]

Looked like a great away day yesterday!

Well in lads!

[Billy Elliot]

I’m not clued up on modern day music and I’d taken time off from the match pre-coved. What was the song played before the match? People were joining in the booed when they turned the song off.

Jamie Webster song, I believe............ This place

[aedge659]

What was the chant to the "Freed from Desire" tune?

[Tobez]

"The Reds have got no money but we'll still win the league"

[Redbonnie]

I was lucky enough to get tickets tickets for the Norwich away with my wife. We made the mistake of wearing colours and spent two hours tramping around before the game being treated like shit in every pub we tried to have a drink in. “We don’t want trouble” ... from two middle aged women! I have visited the place a few times on business and the contrast in the reception was shocking. Anyway I loved the fuck the Tories chant in response to sign on and I would love to see the mancs of both colours squirm having that sung at them at Anfield. Most of the mancs are not Tory but singing that shit is pure Tory behaviour and they should be called out on it. The atmosphere in the away was electric and I saw loads of people made up to see each other after so long. Brilliant day and as for the rent boy song it  didn’t seem homophobic and I also thought it was about mercenary’s but was a lot quieter than Bobbys song and Maggie in the mud anyway. If people think it’s homophobic then let’s not sing it anymore but the travelling kop sang their hearts out and let’s get behind them not call for bans. Put a message about it in the programme and educate people and it will stop... our fan base are progressive and I am proud of how they represent my city.

[kavah]

It was great to see the players turn and run to the crowd after the goals - you could see how happy they are to have the fans back.

[Alan_X]

There's a separate thread for discussion of the rent boys chant.

[Buck Pete]

"The Reds have got no money but we'll still win the league"

haha. Was ace singing that at the end.

"The Reds have got no money but we'll still win the league"

Seems an odd way to have a go at the owners on the month we've just tied most of our key players down to new contracts (with no money). We're not exactly Barcelona.

An absolutely woeful take from you, its tongue in cheek and no one is having a go at the owners at all but feel free to continue slagging off the away support like you have since the match.

I know it's tongue in cheek. But considering we've just spent big on a new training ground, have a new stand under construction, have one of the biggest wage bills in football (with key players signing new contracts) then it doesn't make much sense. Few clubs are spending money on transfers this summer. It's not like we're Barcelona.

[Welshred]

It's a laugh. It's a witty song. Stop thinking deeply into it.

I took it more as highlighting the unlimited spending by the oil clubs in a covid-devastated world/game and the fact that Klopp and LFC have worked miracles keeping pace regardless, despite not having the advantages the cheat clubs have.

I thought it was a dig at the so called expert fans  who have been cryarsing about not spending and those media pricks who reckon we won’t be challenging because we are skint.
Oh and don’t forget our mate Catcher. Worrying times.

Yeah, that certainly works. It's one of them where it'll be open to interpretation.

[Buck Pete]

Jesus Christ, the mods stick the Rent boy chant in another thread for serious discussion so we try and have alight hearted chat about a tongue in cheek chant about LFC having no money.  And it still gets criticised.

It's a pity a good number of people on this forum and others don't put as much effort into condemning "always the victims", "Sign on" or "Murderers" rather than what their own fans are chanting.

Some great shots of the away in here:

Away support blew the home crowd out of the water. Looking at the telly, you'd think Liverpool had a home game, while showing solidarity with the poor Mancs and their green/yellow brigade  Anfield will be rocking come the weekend!
