who are you?

I could say a lot about the inane nature of this post,
but to be honest there is no point because it speaks for itself.

So you and your son miss out on the occasional game bacause a few people decide to spend thousands of pounds and make a 20,000 mile round trip to fulfil their dreams and go to a game of the team that they love. And when they do they get treated to this kind of attitude.

Obviously the scousers simply want a scouse club supported by scouse fans. But why leave it there? Instead of banning just the wools why stop there? Let's get rid of the non-scousers that make up the playing and coaching staff? Let's see if you scousers will get the club you want then, without the global support and without a global presence within.

When I go to Anfield I'm almost amazed at the vast variety of different kind of people I see there - people from all over the world - makes me realise what a big and special club it really is. Then I read posts like yours and I wonder why people from places like Japan and Singapore bother to follow a club that attracts such a petty and small-minded support like yours.

Best supporters in the world my arse, cant even support our own let alone our club

I'm sick and tired!!! Please tell me why you're a "better" fan then me. I live in Norway, and I've been in Liverpool twice. I'm coming over in february for the derby. I spend alot of my time on Liverpool forums, and I get alot of stick at work for playing Liverpool songs on my mobile phone. If I'm travelling to Liverpool for a game, I'll have to pay about £500. And thats only for a ticket and hotel. I watch ALL games on tv and thats about £300 a season. I know all the songs...and I know what not to sing. If it wasnt for all the support from all around the world, Liverpool wouldnt be one of the biggest clubs on the planet.

Seems like some scousers feel that the out of town support is pricing out the locals and "wools" have no place at Anfield.

Forget about everything that a global fan base offers the club - obviously some scousers would rather be like Everton.

I would be happy for everyone supporting the club. If only scousers supported Liverpool, we would be just like Everton.

good shout. what a pity that kid had to be educated with this kind of thinking since young. why not think about the sacrifices foreigners make in order to support the club

there are plenty of shirts to go around, dont make stupid excuse and blame it on the foreigners, if it doesnt have stock now, you can pre-order it, ffs...cant believe u are already sowing hatred and dislike of foreigners in your young boy already..

[KopiteCalling]

Why, did the Japs cash speed up his debut, was it meant to be at the Derby instead?

LFC is a club with global support.if that bothers you,write a letter of complaint.i enough of you do,then im sure you'll get your wish to have a stadium of scousers.

you know whats most sickening?

so many foreign supporters are either made to feel unwelcome,or are ony wanted for their money.

i would have thought that all fans are equal.my mistake.

Very well said.
Sorry, Im not scouse but Im coming next month...
Los rojos: I'd be glad to talk to your son and teach him about what 21st century football is...Oh well i'll teach you as well

I am not sure that he is really having a go at all out of towners. I think he is really having a go at the tourists, the ones that go for a day out and haven't a bloody clue what the club is about. If he is talking about that then I agree. Maybe I am wrong but I think thats the point he means. If he is truly talking about all foreigners then its hyterical consiering he calls himself the reds in spanish!!!

bloody foreigners first they take our jobs and now this

Hi. I recommend that you take a course on economics of free trade . And there is no better place to start than read some books written by Dr Milton Friedman - father of modern economics, leading advocate of free markets and a Nobel Prize winning professor at my school University of Chicago! Why not start with a famous television program called "Free to Choose". There Dr Milton Friedman will try to explain (without the complex math) some very basic ideas of economics - should be very easy for everyone to understand!

As for Los Rojos, I agree 100% with Dhavlo's response. Let me add few of my own thoughts being the only "Oriental chum" on this forum. Comments like that I am pretty much used to so it doesn't upset me at all. I've been fortunate enough to live, study and travel on almost every part of the world, and I can say that the urge to dislike anything 'foreign' is in all of us - at least innately. I say to my friends that the most discriminatory people I have met is not in the United States but in Korea. Korea is the most racist and discriminatory place that I have lived in but this isn't because Koreans are more stupid than everybody else. It is simply because Korea is a very homogenous country with relatively fewer 'foreigners' than say UK or United States. Therefore, the chances are that they have not been educated on this delicate issue as they have not had to deal with 'foreigners' as much as the folks in the United States.

For the reasons above, I suspect that Mors Rojos has rarely had an intimate interaction with 'foreigners'. His comments doesn't make him stupid, he just needs someone to educate him on this issue.

Sorry Paul!

I was absolutely gutted today when after scoring, the kop started singin "who are you, who are you?". ****IN PACK IT IN!!!!! I know we have a lot of cockneys in the kop nowadays, but we are not a cockney club. Leave that **** to them. I cant explain how embarrasing it was hearing it. On the kop`s 100th birthday too.

Not really mate, after they started singin "sign on" and "you'll never got a job", "stand up if youve got a job", "theivin scousers" etc, they deserved every bit of stick they got, they also threw cups of drink at us.The diffrence is we where making a pass atthere football team not there residential stereotype.

A lot of scousers are priced out of going to Anfield. The point that some miss is that so are many more OOTs. We can't give tickets away for free, somebody is always going to be priced out, it's about striking a balance. To be fair to the board I think we do that quite well.

The Monetarist sh!te of Milton Friedman was the economic dogma used by the Tories to destroy Liverpool (and elsewhere) in the 1980's. When did he start becoming worthy of veneration?
