No, I know very little. But I'd rather take a position of support and be proved wrong than take a position of negative bitching about my club and be proved right. I'm just old-fashioned, I suppose.
You dont bitch about the club. You bitch about how its run. The club is the club and will be supported by whoever chose to take it up until the day they die.
I'll follow us into the third division but it doesnt fucking mean i have to like it, nor accept its direction. People moan, criticise and bitch, to put it in your words because they CARE about the club they support, football for the real supporter is not a passing interest. To some football is important and makes a big difference to their lives. Its the difference between a good week and a bad week.
You know people whinge and yeah ok, people can get bored of it but it aint half as tiresome of those that 'elevate' themselves to some sort of premium fan, that follows religiously some made up code. What the fuck is the Liverpool way anyway?
I'll tell you what - it doesnt fucking exist, it never did. All we had as fans is our patience and support back in the day and crucially TRUST, and it was given in light of the knowledge that the supporters and the people running the club had a mutual respect for each other and where in it together at all times. As fans over the years we trusted those that led the club because they were knowledgeable, driven and passionate for what they do, they were the very best at what the did for a living. And they did it for us.
Who the fuck would question Shankly? Paisley? Fagan? Peter Robinson? They knew their stuff, they knew what it took to be successful and they cared about the community who followed them. They didnt crow about winning the league, it was down to business the next season. WINNING MENTALITY. If we lost the league we knew we'd challenge again next year. Its not like today where we will get a shot once every few years and hang on to that as some sort of comfort blanket to success.
And its no longer the same. Football is a different beast, run by millionaires with other interests, played by players who dont give a fucking stuff. Personally i think Brendans had a good stint, considering his lack of experience hes had patience in a game that's running at a thousand miles per hour where those clubs that cant keep up get left by the wayside. He hasn't got the luxury of poor seasons, mis-buys, tactical mistakes, not at Liverpool he hasn't. Or i would expect if we still had ambition that he wouldnt be allowed to fall under target.
And if the owners arn't backing him properly then they are just as fucking culpable and don't lecture me on shitty baseball. Football and baseball are NOTHING ALIKE, not even close both in structure or on the field. Football is 11 athletes with real flair and skill and characteristics. You can be average in baseball and win the series. You can even have a fat baseball player. who gives a fuck?
Football men know how football works, they are the guys that can spot Ian Rush, Alan Hansen, Robbie Fowler and Steven Gerrard.
we have none of that here, none, just a business owner and a rookie boss and a broken transfer system.
