Anyone think some of these 'moaners' do actually attend home games though and that's contributed to the downfall in atmosphere at anfield in recent years? those that just sit there don't get involved in any singing or backing of the team (until winning) and every goal conceded stand's up screaming at the players slagging them off? winds me up,
i'd take every 3 point's no matter how we win them, Liverpool have always had a way of making it tough for fan's to watch, especially in recent years but it's part and parcel of being a fan, don't get me wrong everyone has a moan but to slag the team off like some have after we've won no matter what the performance is like is a bit of a joke, i'm buzzin with the three point's made my weekend and 3 days till Madrid 10 times happier
those people have always been at the match...going back to when I used to go the match in the 80's and 90's.....the 'aul moaners in the kemlyn' were well known, and then there was the main standers who never got out of their seat whatever happened....so, no, i don't think they have contributed to the atmosphere any more than normal
with regard to the op, people whinge and moan, people cheer and shout, it is what fans do....if you are able to step back during a game and immediately afterwards and be rational and clear minded, then you are probably not as emotionally invested as others. but write your reaction down - or type it on a forum - and it probably looks stupid and does not reflect your rational point of view in the cold light of day (positives and negatives). we get mindless positivity and optimism on here just as we get mindless criticism, mostly neither contributes to threads where there is meant to be debate, so maybe just ignore it as opposed to feeling the need to respond to it or to start threads complaining about it
to use an analogy someone else used, when in the pub after the game and you hear someone complaining at the next table, is there a need to interject to call bullshit, or is it something you complain to your own mates about?
I would say there is an awful lot more straight arguing and abuse in here these days than there used to be,...but then the more popular boards get, the more difficult they get to moderate as numbers increase, and points of view get more polarised
