red fishface in that process.

Fish?!

A Liverfish, upon my chest

[CraigDS]

Sorry for the confusion caused mate 

No probs, may of come across as having a go so sorry about that - just seem to be a lot of people making a mountain out of a mole hill in this thread at times.

[Raaphael]

No way that looks like a Liverbird.

In fact, I imagine there`s a Liverbird somewhere turning in his grave thinking "What have they done to me".

You did a bit... 

Joking, no worries mate!

We'll be selling merchandise and linking up with doughnut makers next.

[Redman0151]

Lads on the anfield wrap asking if a club official can come on the show later and explain their justification and why they lied about it.


Hope the little shit gets booed off the pitch on Saturday

Grow up, it's for kids for fuck's sake.

I have made my peace with every commercial pimping of our name on the basis of this is what we have to do in the world to compete with the other clubs. But this is where it should stop, this is an abomination that has not been seen since Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. And I'm only half exaggerating, this is fucking horrible debasement, just fuck off LFC

Liverpool use Bart Simpson to clean up the language at Anfield

The same people that saved us when we were one day away from administration? Nice way to show your support.

Are you privy to some information that it was definitely the Americans who committed this heinous crime?

[exiledintheUSA]

As much as I don't like it I think it shows a sad, yet inevitable evolution of the game, especially in England.  The commercial power of the Premier League is beyond massive and the appeal of making money any way possible has become part and parcel of the business – so to speak.

I’m sure the previous generation of fans probably felt similar when replica shirts starting popping up in the early 80’s.  Mass market changes and commercial probability are obviously taking the game away from its roots it’s no coincidence that some clubs charge 90 to 100 quid a ticket for the big games, even less of a coincidence that some clubs have become monster, floated, stock assured corporations.

We can certainly sound or angst at the change but I don’t believe we would be able to arrest the pace of the change, we may have to accept it, rather than embrace it and worry about other areas of the club moving forward, such as retaining our community identity and not becoming one of those monster, floated, stock assured corporations.

That I really can't stand. What's this supposed to mean? They want us to sing a Gerrard song saying he's 'Very hard'? How shit would that sound?

Fuckers.

[Redman0151]

Grow up, it's for kids for fuck's sake.

Sound, should get some goal music as well , the kids might enjoy that and we can attract some teenage girls if we play their favourite One Direction song after every goal!

How about some plastic flags and foam fingers for the kids as well?

[DangerScouse]

If anything he'll detract from any pre match atmosphere.

[Stussy]

kids don't give a fuck about getting a picture with this twat, they only care about being with the players. Keep the pitch sacred, bad move by the club.

No swearing at a football match? What is this world coming to.

[thelinnen]

For fuck sake no one wants it on match days. Also am I the only one who thinks it looks fucking terrifying? Why does a bird have teeth?

[Raaphael]

Who has actually decided that we need a mascot?

Well said lads very well said

[CraigDS]

I imagine the marketing department. It's another 'icon' that they can use to sell shite to the younger generation of fans, and is also something they can send to schools and other events around the world rather than the players (after all it's just a suit) to make kids feel 'closer' to the club and hopefully develop a life long support.

It's not for everyone, but there is a reason sports clubs around the world do these types of things and it's not for shits and giggles.

Can't be any worse than grown men being upset about a fucking mascot at a football game, can it?

Still, if that is the case, it can be done so much cooler.

[RainbowFlick]

The mascot in itself is perfectly acceptable for the club's social, charitable and kids engagements in my opinion. It's cheesy, tacky and pretty ugly but kids do get joy from little things like this.

Completely unnecessary on match days other than in the family park.

Oh my, the grown men-card.

Do Madrid and United have mascots?

[Durlmints]

Bloody heck what's our club doing?

[The G in Gerrard]

Utd certainly do

[CraigDS]

A grown man in a foam suit is never going to be cool!!

I can handle it coming onto the pitch just as the picture is being taken in the centre circle and going straight off again (this is how it was done vs Southampton) but don't want it getting in the way (by being on the pitch) as the players warm up or certainly not during a minutes silence like some clubs have had.

[Raaphael]

Somehow the term "he`s big and he is very hard" sounds more perverse in my opinion. Like Stevie is getting aroused in his own company. The again, the term "fucking hard" might sound that he`s fucking someone very hard, if you put your will to it.

[joejack]

Encouraging kids NOT to swear?

[CraigDS]

Do Madrid and United have mascots?

I've no idea, but I'm not sure if just because they do or don't have them makes them good or bad.

They do a lot of things I'd not want our clubs to do, and don't do a lot that I'd like ours to.

[CraigDS]

Encouraging kids NOT to swear?

Exactly.

There was a reason it was on Instagram, and think it has something to do with the fact that the majority of Instagram users are under 18.

[thelinnen]

"He's big and he's very hard" sounds like he's getting ready to do something else than score a worldie.

[The Batman.]

May as well just pass out the plastic flags.

Club is moving further and further away from what made it different.

[Durlmints]

Encouraging kids NOT to swear?

Aye, let's play a giant fucking *BEEP* noise over the PA whilst we sing it.

Couldn't have anyone hearing naughty words.
