Another angle to those chants.

I’m in the bar of a pub having a beer after a meal. I’m with Mrs A and another couple. There’s a group of fellas at the bar, about 6 of them from maybe early 30s to 50s. Talk gets onto football and we get mentioned. The youngest one then starts going on about scousers and victims.

I’ve never heard that type of stuff first hand outside of a ground and to me it showed how insidious those chants are and how the content becomes normalised. I didn’t want to make a scene, but I did make a couple of loud comments hoping that it would spark a reaction. Because if it did I wanted him to sit down and explain to me why I was a victim. I was also going to invite him up to Liverpool to some of my favourite pubs, again to explain why we were victims. He was the sort of tosser that’s gobby with his mates but would be shit scared and full of apologies even 1:1 let alone the numbers being reversed.

There’s loads of pricks in this country that have picked up and run with a snide Manc chant without the faintest idea of what they’re talking about. The whole thing took the shine off a decent afternoon out and is another reason why there should be zero tolerance of those chants at the ground.

Jim mentioned that the club reads this thread. We’ll if they do, this is a direct result of letting that shite go unchecked for years.

Thing is, they probably couldn't answer you anyway. It's simply the insult you hurl at people from Liverpool. Most don't even know why , they just parrot what others have said. This nonsense is like throwing shit at a wall. It tends to stick. Others pile on then, and loads of them don't even know or care why it came about in the first place.

This City and its people, and this club and its fans have committed the cardinal sin of standing up to establishment lies and cover-ups. We stood up to Tories that have devastated this country and those not fortunate enough to be rich. For our troubles much of the country has blindly swallowed the establishment line and then gone on to betray their own class. Betray the football following community and betrayed big parts of their own communities that fought against social injustices of their own.

Thatcher hated football. She despised football fans and she wanted to destroy the game as a working class sport. She hated the fact that the City of Liverpool and other working class communities stood up to her fascistic government. People from mining communities for example. Thing is though, although she was a sociopath, she wasn't stupid. They've always pushed a divide and conquer agenda. Set the people against the people and let them fight each other rather than establishment that's playing them like puppets.

So, here we are. Those who should be standing shoulder to shoulder with us call us victims instead. Useful idiots dancing to the tune of those who hate and despise them. It's all so tragic, but too many are too blind to see they've been played.

Football fan against football fan. Community against community. All kicking each other whilst we're all on the floor. The real victims here are those who have been played for mugs by a government and much of the media that licks right-wing arse whilst gleefully pushing its agenda.

Next time you hear some clown going on about victims, just remember that they are actually talking about themselves without even knowing it. Poor, blinkered victims who sadly lack the awareness to free themselves and think for themselves.

You’re giving Thatcher a little too much credit. Like most people in politics, and especially those elevated to high position on the national stage, she was a puppet of far larger forces. 

That’s why very little changes, regardless of who is in power.

With respect to the media, they are bought and paid for. They know full well what they are doing. About many, many things. But the money is too good. And careers are on the line.

The lackadaisical attitude of the club towards these chants, for decades, has been very poor.

With the consequences now coming into view.

Fair play to Colchester and their fan group



https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65007629

Colchester United have condemned fans who sang "vile chants" about ex-Leyton Orient manager Justin Edinburgh during Saturday's game at Brisbane Road.

Edinburgh died in June 2019 at the age of 49 after suffering a cardiac arrest.

He led Orient to the National League title, and a return to the English Football League, two months before.

"Not for the first time this season a very small minority of those in the away section have acted in a shameful manner," a Colchester statement read.

"This time making vile chants that no decent person would make and are in no way shared by Colchester United or the vast majority of Colchester United fans.

"We will co-operate with Leyton Orient should there be any further investigations."

Colchester scored twice late on in the League Two game to come back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Brisbane Road.

The U's dropped to 21st in the division, five points above the relegation places, while Orient are six points clear at the top of the table.

Colchester United fan group Blue White Army also condemned the chants, saying they had made a donation to the Justin Edinburgh Foundation.

"We hope this makes a small amends for the deplorable chants by a section of our fanbase," the group added.

From today's game away at Manchester City...

Man City: "Manchester City are disappointed to have heard inappropriate chants from home fans during today's game. We regret any offence these chants may have caused and will continue to work with supporters groups & officials from both clubs to eradicate hateful chanting." - https://twitter.com/ptgorst/status/1642174083742810112


^ so that means nothing will be done (other than to reduce our allocation again for next season?)


The chants could be hears loud and clear on BT Sport - who did not comment on it at the time, or after.



Edit: Man City have made a statement on their club website; seems their fans attacked our team bus?:-

www.mancity.com/news/club/club-statement-1-april-2023-63815962


'Manchester City FC has been made aware that Liverpool FC’s coach sustained damage on its return journey following today’s game.
We understand an object was thrown towards the coach in a residential area.

Incidents of this kind are totally unacceptable, and we strongly condemn the actions of the individual(s) responsible.

We will fully support Greater Manchester Police’s investigation into this incident in any way we can.

Additionally, the Club is disappointed to have heard inappropriate chants from home fans during the game today.

We regret any offence these chants may have caused and will continue to work with supporter groups and officials from both clubs to eradicate hateful chanting from this fixture.'

You’re right of course but I think progress has been made recently. It’s almost exactly a year since the applause at Anfield for Ronaldo’s baby. United fans’ awful response got attention, as did City wrecking the silence before last year’s FA Cup semi. Since then there’s been more media coverage, the victims chant has been recognised for what it is, clubs have had to keep apologising for it and, in the last couple of games against the Manchester teams, it seems to have reduced in frequency.There are reasons for optimism.

Think it's time for another joint statement to call out both sets of fans.  ::)

Sarcasm aside and to be optimistic it does feel like the wheels are beginning to creek and show some signs of movement.

'Tragedy chanting' has now become a more mainstream term used by the media lately and reported a bit more, so hopefully now the club can grow a pair and use it to begin taking proper action against away fans on a larger scale.

They couldn't do anything about it because it was practically their entire stadium, which they struggle to fill as it is, so imagine they banned the current lot from going.
3 midfielders minimum in the next window. And probably another young CB to boot.

Anything else is negligent.

I'm sure Stu Brennan will be along to criticise their fans any minute now, he's very hot on such issues...

Up there with the fucking worse fanbases in the country.
That’s no surprise but what they’re doing is what every set of opposition fans do when we play them. Only fanbase I can’t recall any Hillsborough chanting from is Arsenal, Brentford, Southampton. Might be wrong.

Embarrassingly on the international feed last week the commentator did mention the chanting. When City fans starting signing "Championes"  :butt

It means mushrooms in Spanish. Of course they are too thick to know that or that the real chant is 'Campiones'.

'Now Chelsea fans respond with 'always the victims'. It's so grim.' - around 31 mins - https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1643335405700251649


'Club statement on offensive chanting' - www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/club-statement-on-offensive-chanting

'Chelsea FC condemns the inappropriate chants heard from some home fans during this evening’s game. Hateful chanting has no place in football and we apologise to anyone who has been offended by them.'


^ but isn't going to do anything about it whatsoever.... TV commentators also silent on the chants... yet again.


Edit: Sky then have the audacity to post this up - https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1643366328726609922 - despite their complicity in suppressing or acknowledging these chants live on air - which have taken place on Sky broadcasts for many, many years. And they still remain silent on it when these vile chants occur...


Edit 2: 'The Premier League condemns the tragedy chanting heard at tonight’s match between Chelsea and Liverpool. We continue to treat this as an unacceptable issue and are seeking to address it as a priority.' - https://twitter.com/premierleague/status/1643361177316065283

^ and yet the Premier League have continued to do nothing about this 'unacceptable issue' for years - let alone actually take any action that would even attempt to 'address it as a priority'.
