Be honest, you Mousers are only really angry that the bookies T+Cs means that all the money poured onto the Poool winning the PL will not be returned as a deemed "null and void" wager. < always read the "small print" >
Never been in a bookies personally, not once gambling as a concept makes little sense to me, if i wana waste money id like at least a hangover or a good night in return for said moneys not just a chance that i may win more, theres easier ways to double your money bru
The bookies apparently offer pre-season PL odds on the Pooool that always brings the Mousers in en-masse (they obviously know something we don't about the likelihood of having to pay out on that one ... ) .
Liverpool being denied their title win because the season can't be finished would be a form of natural justice for those clubs who suffered by being denied entry into European competition due to Heysel. I believe in natural justice.
Dunno never read it mate but lukes comment was stunning in its hatred and ignorance however delicately put.
No hatred. You can't dispute the facts. They don't require interpretation. No ignorance. Ditto. But what comes around goes around. I don't think you can necessarily expect sympathy from clubs who suffered at the time - including my club. I went to the 1985 Cup final as a kid; I don't remember any European football in the next season.
1. ANY club through the 70s or 80s could have ended up in Liverpool's position ... both European and British club fans were out of control. 2. UEFA banned Liverpool (and all English clubs) because their fans didn't die...if the Liverpool fans had died it would have been Italian clubs banned. 3. Heysel was a moronic choice for for the final...it was known to be a decrepit stadium in serious disrepair and the chances are that the serious violence would not had led to the deaths if a safer stadium had been used. None of this is to say that those who were involved in football violence are absolved of their individual responsibility but these scum were infesting ALL clubs. We were banned from Europe between 1974 and 1981 because of violent tossers...who pushed the great Bill Nicholson into resigning due to them shaming our club. Just my thoughts on it.
Mate you wana use people dying as some kinda sick ****ing justice excuse crack on. Your probably loving the fact that Liverpool maybe wont get the well deserved title, but forgetting that's only because thousands and perphaps millions may die from this virus. But Yaay you get justice for having a ****ing grudge since childhood ya absolutely disgusting person.
Fair enough. 14 Liverpool fans were found guilty of manslaughter. I just think that for a club which puts itself on a pedestal......
Tbh that is completely missing the point re banter. NO ONE is happy re what is happening but peolle are taking the piss football wise...tbh if it were us in this position I pretty sure you'd take the piss out of us without being callous about the victims of this horrible disease.
