SOS to Unveil Billboard in Liverpool

[PTP]

Yes, I reckon if Shanks was still alive he would just sit back and watch the debacle unfold without saying a word either. Watching his beloved Liverpool saddled with debt, owners who constantly lie and backtrack on promises and a fantastic Manager continually undermined by the (non)actions of the owners.

So am I right in thinking that those people who do not support SOS are happy to just let this drama unfold, unchallenged? If I am missing a trick here someone please put me right because I just do not see it.

do you think he would have started a group that robbed a players birthday cake, sang about munich at the christmas party, caused police interventation at anfield to protect the current owners from a protest, etc

thye have managed to erect a big billboard

How much does membership cost? And how many members do they have? Be interesting to know.

Oh, on their achievements, they also appear to have alienated one man who seems to be trying to sort out the financial situation, in Purslow...smart move that one.

Spot on.

Any idea where?

Prescott Rd and Vauxhall Rd. Been there for a couple of days.

I hope SOS are ready to go to court. I feel a libel case coming their way very soon

this was from the fiver a few weeks ago and made me laugh - kinda sums up SOS i reckon

Few things encapsulate the rancour felt by Manchester United fans towards their club hierarchy than this wearisome exchange between David Gill and a shouty Student Grant type who buttonholed the club's chief suit at a recent Q&A session at Birmingham University. Alluding to a "debt is the road to ruin" banner (referencing a famous quote of Gill's) that had been unfurled at Villa Park [http://guardian.chtah.com/a/tBLdYKQA...mYHsGWL/fvr21] the previous evening, Gill's inquisitor asked the chief executive about it.

Shouty student: "Did you see the banner last night?"

David Gill: "I did see the banner."

SS: "What did you think of the banner?"

David Gill: "Eh? It's a banner, isn't it?"

Sadly, that amusing over-reliance on the word "banner" was about as cerebral as what could have been an excellent exchange of views got [http://guardian.chtah.com/a/tBLdYKQA...CmYHsGWL/fvr22, as the United fan's overzealousness in the role of interrogator provided Gill with the perfect excuse not to answer his questions on the grounds that he couldn't "get a word in edgeways".

As nobly intended as it may have been, on the Protest Against American Owners scale of 1-10, where Marching From A Pub You Were Going To Be In Anyway To A Match You Were Going To Anyway rates a 1, and Organising A Complete Boycott Of The Manchester United v Liverpool Match on 21 March rates a 10, we can't award this any more than a 1.5.

Unlikely.

So they are all a bunch of troublemakers right? Have they given any 'official' responses to those allegations?

[Chris]

I guess they just thought that SOP or SOD sounded a bit wrong, so they went with Shanks instead...still grates tho, that they would assume that the great man would be right behind their ideals.

He would have been. Which is why his family have publicly backed SOS.

Dont get me wrong we have always got right to make people aware 'our' opinions and so we should. But i dont think these generally futile and quite frankly childish protests are the way to go about it...... Liverpool fans have more class than that.

Not that i'm saying i disagree with you, but if they arent the way to go about it, may i ask what is?

Splinters in your arse?

[Craig_H]

And just one other point about the 'Liverpool fans have more class than that' thing...

Why do you think Liverpool fans, as a collective, are any better or worse than many other sets of fans? Like most big clubs, the majority of our fans are pretty decent folk, whilst we have smaller groups of dickheads, like pretty much any club with a sizeable fanbase.

It's very nice to go around thinking we dont have idiots following LFC, but anyone who went to Athens in 2007 will be able to tell you otherwise. In fact, pretty much anyone who's been to any Liverpool game.

Yes, a dead man would certainly not have his own opinion on these matters.

Leave my arse alone.




I cant believe i've had to post that on a football forum.

You know better than his own family obviously.
