    Hahah were you with him? I just remember him coming back with a stunned expression and a singed coat.

      Wasn't the song "Kopites are Gob****es" created by the Annie Road and sung at the Kop?

        I guess it makes sense alright, to want to get away from the dad that is. I would have guessed that they enjoyed the banter with the away fans aswell if you could call it that.
        Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
        'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'

        "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

        * After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs

            I just went on Amazon to buy that, and ended up buying a total of 7 LFC-related books.

                  Coz he wanted to be near the away fans. Didn't yer Ste?
                  He used to throw his spare change over into the away fans. Especially 50p's with all their corners.

                    No...I've been very lucky with amazon - never had a problem with anything I've ordered off them yet. (touch wood) And I've bought everything from books to cameras to mp3 players off their US, UK and German sites.

                    I know various posters on here have some grievances with them, but not me.

                    Finally bought the Billy Liddell book that I've been meaning to get for AGES. And the Hillsborough account by Anne Williams - I'm actually kind of dreading reading that, tbh.

                      Ructions- that's a nice way to put it Bloodbath more like.

                      I've never heard it or I've forgotten about it. I wouldn't be surprised though, it had a culture all of it's own, to say the least.

                        Yeah i heard something very similiar the other day - when i can't get my mum/dad/uncles season ticket i usually get into the annie road on PTS/Fan card/Mates season ticket/blag someone for a ticket. I'd say about 80% of the games i sit in random places in the annie road and i enjoy it - still has it's own sort of vibe going on tho obv i appreciate it won't be the same as th "good ol' days la".

                        We usually drink in The Grove before the game and we all got chatting to a few old school fella's about the game and they were asking us were we where sitting - all my mates are in the kop and i was on my tod in the annie road, they loved me and ripped my mates for being in the kop and starting saying kopites are gob****es etc - they went on to say something along the lines of they have sat in the annie road for 30yrs, when football was football etc etc and that they used to take the piss out of the kopites for a laugh,
                        i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

                            As the old song went, clears throat

                            "When I was young me dad said to me
                            Are coming coming down the Kop to watch LFC

                            I said no I don't think so
                            I'm goin down the Annie for a bit of Aggro"

                              I recall the Annie Road singing Kopites are Gob****es when I was in the Kop as a small kid and being confused by it.

                                I think I would have aswell to tell the truth.
