Worst Fans in Europe?

[J77]

Lazio

 

[Andy the Don]

Absolutely Andy, if you look closely you can make out a few orange/red scarves etc.

That's not a Lazio eagle by the way, it's the Imperial Eagle holding the fasces. Just an old Fascist emblem.

Here's the picture in its original context.

Ok I concede the point.. (that will be the first & only time you will see me admit that on here.. )

 

[Genghis Cohen]

"The problems with Liverpool have not been big enough to earn the club any sanctions from UEFA which means we are probably talking about a few small groups causing trouble outside of the stadiums. This is not about saying that Liverpool are the worst club. But we received this police report and thought it was a relevant time to pass on our concerns to the sports minister."

gaylord, on the one hand has a played a proverbial blinder even though its the oldest trick in the book, get an initial slur out via the murdoch press then backtrack because you've not got a fucking leg to stand on, of course no one will actually remember the backtracking or that he ever said "This is not about saying that Liverpool are the worst club." Because thats how stupid your average english football fan is, gaylord knows there's a market in attacking Liverpool and it's fans and he's exploited it a goodun. Not to say Liverpool haven't got some seriously nasty cunts following them, because they have.

There was trouble at the milan end btw.

Let's not forget that these same supporters who Mr Gaillard is claiming are now the worst in Europe were praised by Uefa President Michel Platini after our semi-final victory against Chelsea only last month, commended for their behaviour in Istanbul in 2005 and actually honoured by Uefa at a gala dinner in Monte Carlo in 2001 as joint Supporters of the Years with Alaves after the UEFA Cup final.

full of shit.

The Millwall fans were singing about Hillsborough. The Liverpool fans smashed their gaff up.

Fair play I say.

Correct.

This from the team that enjoy 'Who's that burning on the runway...' style-songs when playing the Mancs... So presumably, you wouldn't mind it if the Mancs smashed up Anfield then?

I was watching highlights of one of the Euro games at the weekend - I think Croatia - and the game had to be stopped a few times - there were firemen standing by pitchside as people kept throwing lit flares onto the pitch during the game. Apparently this is considered 'normal' in some countries according to the internet. Doesn't it put players, officials and other fans in danger?

Throwing missiles on the pitch is a rarish thing in the UK - but seems to be condoned by some countries like Serbia, Croatia, Italy - and some Spanish teams too where I've seen various missiles thrown at the players and onto the pitch. Why would they not qualify for the 'worst fans in Europe' label ahead of Liverpool?

Because UEFA is a gravy train full of idiots

We could of said that football hooliganism in the 70's was normal, but saw it was a bad thing, and stamped it out

Another thing:

I do love the sanctimonious shite that comes from some Liverpool fans

Yeah because that's all one way traffic.

Trying to draw parallels between what goes on amongst decades old rivals and what happened during one league cup game is nonsensical.

milwall did it to get a reaction, they got one.

what a lot of bollox - scousers say that they started trouble and smashed up a ground because the other fans sang a nasty song about their fans dying in one of English footballs worst tragedies.

yet the scousers also sing nasty songs about another team's players dying in an accident that is pretty much regarded as one of the biggest tragedies to strike an English football team.

shall i spell out 'hypocrites' for you?

you know, utilising a homophobic nickname for this fella really isn't helping your case.

maybe not, but i think you'll find the common usage in the school playground these last 30 years is childish abuse. although i'm sure ghengis didn't mean it that way and has a perfectly reasonable explanation.

i have always believed that liverpool fans reputation for fairplay,sportsmanship, humour etc was grossely out of place, i remember back in the seventies the amount of opposing supporters who were stanley knifed, had darts thrown at us golf balls with nails in them and god knows what else

anfield and everton were two of the worst and most dangerous grounds that i can remember travelling to, i can remember joe corrigan getting hit with a bottle thrown at anfield, not to mention their delight in singing about munich, having said that though to call them the worst fans in europe is nonsense and sounds like a uefa smokescreen to take the dirty look off of themselves for their contiued fuckups when deciding where to stage major finals,

the worst fans in europe? no, but probably the most snidey

Mill-wall fans wanted a ruck - they got it and got all outraged afterwards.

What the fuck did they expect?

Same goes for Man Utd fans who were kicked to fuck by Cardiff City fans for chanting about Welsh folk dying in that tragedy.

Football banter is one thing - crossing the line is another imho. Cross the line, face the consequences.

If 96 Man utd fans died in Hillsborough like circumstances, I wouldn't sing songs about it and would expect our place to get trashed if we did.

They always seem to want a ruck, it's a team whose supporters remind of the old quote about Dennis Wise being able to start a fight in an empty room....

Using part of the male genitalia as slang is heterophobic and doesn't help your case.

The exact chant was "you all should have died at Hillsbrough" which isn't quite the same, of course another millwall chant is the charming "you're going home in a body bag, you're going home in a body bag" oh and they can also be attributed the invention of the 'millwall brick.' A bunch of supporters with a long history of violence were trying to play the charlie big bollocks being 3-0 down and got fucked doing it, unfortunate but there you go.

yet the scousers also sing nasty songs about another team's players dying in an accident that is pretty much regarded as one of the biggest tragedies to strike an English football team.

shall i spell out 'hypocrites' for you?

Shall I spell out 'Gustav Le Bon' for you ? It's not about saying one set of fans are some magical homogeneous group that all think and act in the same way, Liverpool fans are no better or worse than anyone else, every set of fans will be a cross section of society, it says nothing whatsoever about the club itself, perhaps with the exception of those with a history of 'organised' violence but that's more people who use football as a front. The fact Liverpool fans are under persistent attack from the media and the 'Liverpool bashing industry' probably influences their actions in some ways however.

You're comparing apples and bleach, with this millwall business, with rivalry games everyone knows what's going to happen, its shit but everyone knows it, you could say the same about Glasgow derbies, Boca/River, it's an occasion where idiotic things that wouldn't otherwise happen do (and I know for a fact a lot of 'proper' fans on both sides don't like it at all) and as thus united wouldn't expect to turn up away to Gent and hear munich chants, likewise Liverpool didn't expect to turn up at a piss pant club like millwall and hear what they did.

And you used to get your car stoned down the East Lancs Road on your way home.

I've said it on another thread - they'd have you believe they're just a bunch of lovable cheeky little scousers and they're not - trouble is they've got a chip on their shoulder as big as the Mersey Tunnel and no matter what happens Hillsborough, heysel, council going bust in the 80's, factories shutting in the 70's 'cos there was a strike every other week it's NEVER Liverpool's (city or football club) fault.

I've worked with a load of scousers in my time (in the power industry) and when you get past this veneer of "Aren't I a funny, cheeky chappie" there's one big miserable centre full of self sympathy for some collective wrong the world's done them.

It's NEVER EVER the scousers fault !

 

[agricola]

They certainly arent the worst fans in Europe (they arent even the worst fans in the UK), but they were largely responsible for ruining other RS' trip to Athens and should not escape the blame for this.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

lol I like Millwall though!

Yep, i've met a few of their fans down New Cross way and they were all decent lads. They've got some nutters but so have most teams, tbf.

pmsl you've cheered me right up with that one....

Are you John Mckerrick?Every bollox stereotype for the price of one.What a load of shit.We don't care whatsoever about sympathy,it just gets boring listening to dopes repeating the same shit over and over,even if they're "power industry"types.

Welcome to the "Liverpool bashing industry."

Call them all cunts/treat them like shit/stereotype them when they have the audacity to show indignation accuse them of having a chip on their shoulder and wallowing in their own self pity which in turn provides another pretext for attack, and on and on and on and on.

Simple but effective.

Yeh I'm used to it.They seem to think they're original and giving out a bit of insight.

 

[Genghis Cohen]

Actually, just listening to the interview with gaylord it's nowhere near as bad as murdoch's machine has made out (or indeed as I and others have) the Telegraph (?) reported this on Thursday without whipping up half as much bile.

He doesn't say Liverpool are the worst either, he is says there are more incidents involving them than 'other clubs' because they 'play more matches.'

platini is an overrated scruffy little cunt mind.

 

[Red Faction]

A UEFA inquiry has claimed that Liverpool fans are "the worst in Europe".

However.... Sky Sports constantly tell me that they are "the best fans in the world." Usually in a tie with those big fat bald geordies with their tops off

Who's right?

sky are lying
liverpool do not have the best fans in the world

celtic do.

fact.

 

[bluestreak]

Actually, just listening to the interview with gaylord it's

he's just jealous cos he wants to stab his filthy shitty cock in some glorious scouse arseholes eh? fucking faggot.

jesus fuck are you in denial or something?

nah, i forgot, it's ok, this is sports innit.

pathetic.

 

[Genghis Cohen]

Bummer.

 

[bluestreak]

i'm shit at sports too
