foster took a free kick from half way line. karius caught it and could easily of had a shot at an open goal as foster was still on the halfway line!!! long way i know but out of his hands why not? no one else wanted to shoot all night. crowd wasnt getting at him just saw an opportunity.

But if it hadn't have worked and he just conceded possession they'd have still moaned.

The moaners and groaners are breeding too rapidly, some absolutely horrible people attend Anfield now.

I've posted about this about 5 years ago, in Mark Platt's brilliant book, At The End of a Storm, on the 1946/47 title winning year there's frequent quotes from the Liverpool Echo about the grumbling in the crowd throughout the season, its really amusing to read and it illustrates that it's been forever thus. I remember it in the 80's, but fucking hell it's worsened recently. I listen to some people and I wonder if it's in their DNA or is it 27 years of pain - whatever, it's fucking pathetic. The vitriol about every miss-placed pass is startling and I wish they were chucked out the ground.

Rant over

It certainly isn't a trait attributed exclusively to the more vintaged supporters. This season I've heard "shithouse", ya fanny Sturridge" and "fuck off Mignolet" to name a few, from younger lads. Not something I like to hear but they're free to voice their opinions. Frustration is inevitable but the way it's being directed towards our players is distastefully infectious.

Was a first for me today seen a fan wearing a white and black fur coat at the match and I’m not talking about a bird.

Nothing like a bit of needle and a decent come-back. Good today.

Sounded boss today. Very loud in the second half especially.

Didn't go unnoticed, Jurgen mentioned the atmosphere post game

The atmosphere at Leicester was great, and then at the cup derby it was incredible! Totally lost my voice by the end.

keano7 · « **Reply #8972 on:** January 6, 2018, 11:47:20 pm »

Agreed it was a top atmosphere despite the game itself being relatively poor.

I was surprised they let Everton fans out at the same time last night. Walking down Anfield Road at FT was quite intimidating and felt like going into no mans land with both sets of fans passing within inches of each other. The usual taunts were sang and said (a good minority but not all) but it just needed one reaction from a few fans to kick off.

Same here. I touched on it in the post-game thread last night, but the police intervened on an incident outside the Twelfth Man after the game. Fucking group of young bitters blindsided a group of our supporters outside. Could have gotten really ugly, but credit where it's due, the cops sorted it out before it booted off.

As for the atmosphere, along with the Leicester game it was great. I thought the Swansea game was okay, too.

The worst atmosphere that I've experienced so far this season was the WBA game. Sitting in the nose bleed seats in U9 surrounded by tourists recording videos on their phones in a funereal atmosphere. Couldn't get a single chant going.

Loud as fuck last night. Sounded like a latter stages European night from the Rafa era !

Hopefully will be replicated against City next week.

Best time I've had in years and exactly what going the game is about.

Priest078 · « **Reply #8978 on:** January 7, 2018, 11:15:01 am »

still buzzing off it now . I seen about 1000 Everton being escorted to the ground before the game by about 4 police. The usual chants coming our way , vile.

306 was chaos after VVD goal. Literally bodies everywhere !

Poet · « **Reply #8980 on:** January 7, 2018, 08:27:34 pm »

Quality night.

When THAT goal went in I tried standing on the seat in front and it nearly snapped. Lost my footing but thankfully the guy in front was composed. I was shaking the poor guy as if we'd just won the European Cup. Fair play to him though, he took it well.

More of this atmosphere Reds.

Belter, random dude next to me mustve shat himself when I grabbed and hugged him after our winner went in

More bullying and bravado and cockyness from the stands. Make the non-contributing people feel they are the ones with two heads for not singing, supporting, and shouting encouragement when the players do something shit. When someone groans blurt out support, 'doesn't matter Dejan lad we've got these wit their 2-bit bashed lemo fucking jiggins behind the net'.
Make every player feel like they are ten foot tall and scouse as fuck and part of something... like it used to be. Put our crowd with Jurgen's off the pitch mentality and we can beat any fucking team and every fucking week Menstruation

If you saw this in another thread it didn't belong there.

Ha! Indeed. I just thought it worth adding after I had mentioned the other great games above.

Hope it's white hot tomorrow. It should be and has all the right ingredients to be intimidating for City. Spit out the fire and fury fellas. Give them the whole song book and bounce along to the Cork songster's little gem! Enjoy it if you've got a ticket and make sure you do your bit!

Are there no plans to welcome the team coaches with the flares, smoke etc?

Watching on tv, the crowd after mane’s goal was like a jet engine. Sounded immense

Carnage in 306, we were diving on the lads in front of us, all going mental, hugging everyone in sight, great times.....AND that shit song never got going either,

That 10 minute spell was fucking unbelievable, mad even in the centenary!

In general it was very good, the scenes after the 3rd and 4th were reminiscent of Van Dijk last week, incredible.

Took in the Kemlyn for the first time in years, it was mad all through the second half, awesome, plenty of youngish lads around so no reason why this can’t be kept up.

Fuckin' hell. And I thought the Anfield atmosphere was dead for good? Immense tonight. Bouncing in U9. Great stuff.

Was in block 205 in the kop and it was fkn boss all game, stood up right through it and didn’t half twat my shin celebrating mane’s goal, Was fkn worth it though

best league game atmosphere for a long time.

One of the best I've ever been a part of.

Always_A_Red · « **Reply #8997 on:** January 14, 2018, 10:18:10 pm »

Was utter bedlam in 306. One of the best I've been to in years - possibly, since city in 2014. Each goal felt like it was celebrated as if it was the last goal we will ever score (if that makes sense). Just utterly magical to be part of and i'll be buzzing for the rest of the week now.

Anyone there will know there was a moment just before Mane hit his shot where it felt as though the Kop held it's breath and as the ball flew in the back of the net there was this almighty roar of pure jubilation that I haven't heard in a long time. Really special moment and I keep chuckling to myself when I think about it. No other place in the world i'd rather be than right there at that moment.

What a game, what an atmosphere!

What an atmosphere that was. 205 was bouncing. It was chaotic when the goals went in. Can't remember the last time the crowd was this electric.

Well in Redmen.
