Mancs Post Match

The so-called 'provocation' doesn't matter - during the game, completely 'unprovoked', they sang "if it wasn't for the Scousers we could stand" (I suppose that one has "nothing to do with Hillsborough too ), "justice for Heysel", "where's your famous Munich song?" and "we'll sing what we want". They're cunts, plain and simple, and they have been completely and utterly shown up for what they are.

Oh absolutely but that'd be their justification for it all because "the Scousers started it" and then it becomes an us versus them issue again whereas it'd be nice for once for everyone to turn around and say - "no, y'know what - there WAS no provocation, this was your cunt fans being cuntish and showing why grounds up and down the country reduce their allocations and ****ing loath them."

To me it does matter a little simply because I didn't want one single Liverpool fan to do anything wrong yesterday so we could point the finger of blame straight back at them and, more importantly, lodge formal complains against them and hope to get some action taken.

I heard the "where's your famous Munich song" and "we'll sing what we want" but not some of the others.

I don't think he was being offensive fella, there's been a bit of a culture for lurker celebration over the last couple of months.

Its a nice thing really.

Lurker Celebration would be a great name for a band.

Halsey suffers sick abuse on Twitter after officiating United's visit to Anfield

By Dominic King

Referee Mark Halsey is considering calling in the police over sick Twitter taunts following his handling of the explosive clash between Liverpool and Manchester United.

A number of tweets referred to Halsey’s well-known battle against cancer and sickeningly referred to his wife, Michelle, who has also been fighting the disease.

Two of the most offensive comments came from a John Wareing who posted ‘I hope Mark Halsey gets cancer again and dies’ (@johnwareing1) and a John Hughes who tweeted ‘Mark Halsey should’ve died of cancer’ (@lfcjohn259).

Halsey and his family were so upset by the tweets that the referees’ governing body, Professional Game Match Officials Ltd, will offer Halsey the chance to consult a psychologist and replace him for his Capital One Cup tie on Tuesday between Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday. The Hughes tweet was later removed and the word ‘Apologies’ posted.

Within minutes of the game finishing in a 2-1 defeat for Liverpool, messages were being posted on social media websites following a number of controversial refereeing decisions including a first-half red card for Liverpool’s Jonjo Shelvey for a rash tackle on United defender Jonny Evans.

The Twitter outburst followed the emotional pre-match tribute to the 96 Hillsborough victims and an enthralling game which United narrowly won.
The game was only 13 minutes old when a section of United fans tried to provoke their fiercest rivals by chanting ‘Where’s your famous Munich song?’

But the worst episode came after the final whistle when most of the Liverpool fans had left. Two alleged home supporters made aeroplane signals after running towards the corner of the stadium where the United fans remained on police orders. The United contingent responded by singing ‘Always the victims, never your fault’ and ‘Murderers’ in reference to the 1985 Heysel disaster.

‘What was done at the end I cannot comment on as I didn’t hear or see anything,’ said Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers. ‘There is an intense rivalry here and you don’t want that to end because that is all a part of what makes this the biggest game in British football.

‘But songs from Liverpool or Manchester supporters, any of us that have any human decency don’t like to hear that.’

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was adamant that Halsey, who turned down a Luis Suarez penalty appeal but awarded a contentious one to United after Glen Johnson had tangled with Antonio Valencia, got the key decisions right.

‘I thought it was a clear red card,’ said Ferguson, whose side won at Anfield for the first time since 2007. ‘I don’t think (Shelvey) went for the ball - Jonny Evans went for the ball and got the ball.’

**** off, just **** off you cunt


Disgraceful & no excuse for the personal abuse but why the hell do people in the public eye like him have twitter accounts - they're just inviting all this **** from the morons out there

The club should ban him and take any season ticket away from him if he has one

Its about time the clubs started policing their fans

There is no room for this sort of nonsense and if the clubs stamped on it then the likelihood of it occurring again would be lessened

It really is that simple. With all the CCTV cameras at games and modern ticketing systems allowing access to names and addresses for every single ticket holder - the club will be able to trace this little cunt right back to his seat and ban him from Anfield for life.

The time for public statements and poxy letters has long since passed, take some real action or stop pretending that you actually give a **** about these issues.

LFC should take the moral high ground now and start banning any fans who make any sort of references to Munich or any other such disasters

**** what United are doing, the ignorance of their fans is quite something

"Justice for Heysel" there was 27 LFC fans were charged and 14 convicted of manslaughter for what happened that day and I think some officials from the Belgium FA were convicted also

It does my ****ing head in how people draw parrallels between Heysel and Hillsborough

One was caused by hooliganism, one by police failure and gross negligence

One faced a full investigation that brought justice, well the other is where we are at today with the truth only coming out after 23 years of being swept under the carpet

The blindspot by non-LFC fans over Heysel is ridiculous.

Yep - starting banning them. It's time to take some responsibility and lead by example.

Its not a blindspot its just they are totally ill-informed

Its the same **** that has been spread over Hillsborough

Sometimes people only believe what they want to believe

[ronanm]

Ban them is right. The whole chanting/inciteful tweeting thing is disgusting. Am disillusioned with football and it's becoming something I'm starting to hate.

[Lecter]

Yep - starting banning them. It's time to take some responsibility and lead by example.

Fully agreed

The clubs talk about the work they have done in eradicating racism at the grounds

They should take exactly the same stance regarding these sort of sick chants / gestures

There is no place for it whatsoever

[Captain Stu]

I suppose it's also a by-product of the internet generation who believe everything they see/hear without questioning or researching it.

[Nicey]

Amen Lifetime ban .. **** off you cunt.

[Nicey]

I'm all for Banter, but there is simply no ****ing excuse for ****e like that and I am sure there will be 100 decent fans who would love to take his seat. Moron.
