Protest at Anfield tonight 6pm

[Resu]

I'm beginning to like this idea more and more - it would be like a modern day gathering of the tribes, using the power of the internet to harness the power of a scattered people against a common foe by uniting usually insular and sometimes even, warring, groups.

I wonder if anyone would invite KT?

Try to hit everything they are involved with. Does anybody know exactly what else they own, and who they`re main partners are?
It will probably just be a nuisance to them, but almost aything goes now, IMO.

How about all the owners of LFC fansites mobilising the troops by putting a flashing banner on their front pages instructing members to email SSN complaining about Rafa's sacking? Ah.....

Actually, there has been a bit of an idea thrown up about the fansites getting together and displaying some info about our debt, the ownership situation and things people could perhaps do about it. That is, I think, a great idea, I was about to get back to Flake who raised the idea on here with some thoughts when all the Rafa stuff kicked off. The issue, I think, with making it mostly about Rafa's departure is that firstly, I don't think our fanbase is all that united in support of him as manager. United in their condemnation of the timing and how it was carried out definitely, but opinion was pretty split on whether he should stay at the end of last season. Also, I don't think it would really do any good or have any particularly achievable goals, he's not going to get reinstated is he?

Tragic and appauling though our situation is currently, the biggest issue we have is finding a way to get rid of H&G as soon as possible and with as little more damage done as possible. That is something I believe 99% of LFC fans could get behind, and that's where any future campaigns need to be focusing.

I was thinking it would be pretty cool if fan power got him reinstated, but you are probably right about the split not being high enough.

You'd have to finish the front page first too.

Cool, yes, very probably. Likely? Not in the slightest.

Yeah, well there is that Although a project like that wouldn't necessarily require using our existing CMS anyway (yes, it does exist now, its just not active yet).

SOS-led Liverpool 'fans' burning the US flag outside Anfield = An utter embarrasment

A new low was reached last night at Anfield as a small minority of rabid Liverpool 'fans' burned the American flag outside the Paisley Gates. Led like sheep by the divisive, agenda-driven extremists of 'Spirit of Shankly', a series of flags were burned in an embarrassing display of misguided loyalty (to Rafa Benitez) and irrational hatred towards the club's owners.

What a fantastic advert for Liverpool fans. What next, an assassination attempt on Hicks and/or Gillett?! Spirit of Shankly and the brainwashed fanatics who blindly follow them are increasingly turning Liverpool fans - and the club - into a laughing stock.

In my view, Liverpool fans everywhere should condemn this cheap, classless, childish stunt. Fans should also continue to shun Spirit of Shankly, who keep fanning the flames of discontent with their incessant misinformation/smear campaign against the club, its owners and anyone in the hierarchy who doesn't share their agenda.

With help from its supporters in the media (like Paul Tomkins and Tony Barrett) SOS is hell-bent on manufacturing a Liverpool FC 'doomsday scenario' in an attempt to convince fans that the club is on the verge of the apocalypse. They don't care how much damage they need to do to achieve that, or how badly their 'efforts' reflect on the club. SOS also don't care how the reputation of Liverpool fans is being irreparably tarnished.

SOS and its supporters care only about one thing: removing Hicks and Gillett, and if that means trashing the good name of the club in the process, they will do it without hesitation.

In my experience, Liverpool-based superfans (many of whom hang out on 'Red and White Kop - the home of LFC extremism, where this protest was planned) generally believe that anyone who doesn't live within a mile of Anfield is not a real fan. I have no doubt these superfans were the orchestrators of the protest, and they proved once again that they don't give a damn about the worldwide fanbase.

The burning of the US flag outside Anfield is the antithesis of everything the club stands for. Not only was it a gigantic insult to all American Liverpool fans, it was a slap in the face to ALL non-UK fans, and a slight upon the superb achievements of players and staff of many nationalities who helped build Liverpool's success over the years.

I don't know about anyone else, but images of narrow-minded Liverpool 'fans' behaving in a disgracefully xenophobic manner doesn't make me feel proud; or empowered.

It makes me feel ashamed.

And every fan who cares about the club above any individual should also feel ashamed, and condemn this pitiful display of undignified extremism.

EDIT: SOS claim that they had nothing to do with the protest. Right. Just like they had nothing to do with the Munich chants at their end of season party last year.

The fact is, SOS peddled their xenophobic 'Yanks Out' campaign for ages before being forced (by this site and many outraged *sensible* fans) to scrap it.

You reap what you sow: SOS created the anti-American hatred against the Owners that inexorably led to last night's action. They may or may not not have been the main organisers of the protest, but they are clearly still responsible.

Possibly the most ignorant, ill-informed, agenda-driven, diversionary, vitriolic steaming heap of bum gravy I've ever come across. Which, given the standard of his usual drivel, is some achievement.

Is it Kanwar by any chance? I think we should write to the manager of the internet and get the ****ing moron banned. Or something.

Yes it is.

Excellent idea by the way. Do you have his / her address?

Sorry, I didn't realize who wrote the article. I was pretty pissed last night about the decisions by our cheap owners, and the flag burning thing kinda pushed me over the edge for a bit. You know, we over here have tons of PR nightmares, and watch the flag burned throughout the world. But, being a Liverpool supporters, we are part of something that should not have regard to where you are from, just that you have the love for this great institution.

To be fair, your lot started it. What with setting fire to those Beatles records in the '60s and everything.
