Was on my way home from Blackpool yesterday and caught the connecting train at Wigan, it was the Glasgow/Liverpool train, sat by a few drunken lads from up there coming here for a few days holiday.

Question 1, Are you from Liverpool? Y

2, Do you support Liverpool? Y

3, Who's your favourite team in Glasgow? No answer(but they knew :emoticon-0105-wink: )

4, Do you hate Everton as much as we hate Celtic? N

5, Do you think we'll end up with a team made up of all Liverpool youth/squad players? N

6, Are Liverpool protestant and Everton catholic. N, half and half.

Thank **** it only stopped once before my station.

Some people are happy living in a decent house, watching what they spend, food shopping at Aldi, driving a corsa.

But some people want more - they want a big house, cars, enjoy the finer things in life, holidays.

Just because some people are content with having an average life doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t aspire to want more.

I never said it was wrong to aspire for something better, but when people are putting together a crowd funded page to pay for millionaire footballer fines and justifying multi million pound pay increases, when they themselves are just getting by or more likely in some sort of debt, is funny.

As an Arsenal supporter I've seen our players getting huge pay increases to basically play football and contribute little on the pitch. For example, when Walcott was playing for us, he (agent but is the same) demanded a pay rise and got a huge one for basically not scoring much and being injured. He was already a hugely well paid footballer and millionaire. This obviously isn't native to my team of course but is endemic in modern football.

I'll say it again, i don't object to people getting paid well, but things have to be proportionate and sensible. Things have become ridiculous and unsustainable now.

Apologies - I didn’t read the preceding comments.

Yes, it’s very dumb that the fans are trying to pay the fines. Footballers should take responsibility.

Do you remember the year they beat England at Wembley and dug the pitch up? I was skint in a pub in Coventry with my then girlfriend. We had about enough for 3 pints each. The next thing, a coach load of them bailed into the pub and sat all around us. They were already bladdered (it was the Sunday straight after the match on Saturday). One of them asked me if I wanted a pint. I said I didn't as I didn't have the money to get a round in. That was it. I ended up in a Scottish club there called the Tam O'Shanter. I was the only ****ing Englishman in there <yikes>

I woke up in the morning back in my digs undressed and in bed. There was a sheet of paper on my bedside table with a load of names and phone numbers telling me I was welcome up in Glasgow any time. there are actually a lot of similarities between Liverpool and Glasgow as cities.
 
I've read two different versions - ''Swiss fans start crowdfunding appeal'' and ''Don't be afraid of the eagle'' Albanian crowdfunding campaign. Does this mean there are two appeals going or is it sloppy reporting? If there are two, that's even crazier.

Nationalism - good or bad?

Good if used in a positive way to bring the people together, but can be catastrophic if used in the wrong way, eg. World Wars, xenophobia etc.

What about in the case of what we're talking about here - football support.

Sorry watching Akala at the moment <laugh> I think it's good as it brings a feel good factor, which it clearly does over here in the UK, as long as we stay in the tournament! It brings people together and helps the economy/businesses.

Yeah, very similar, been to Glasgow and Edinburgh many times, but never woke up naked with a load of skirt wearers phone numbers next to me.:emoticon-0100-smile

I was with a group of them all day in town the day they played Wales at Anfield in the WC qualifier, great lads, they said if I got them into the pubs and clubs that weren't letting Scots in on the day they'd buy the beers.
Got the into a few bars and an after hours club(The Yankee Clipper)back when the pubs shut at 3 in the afternoon, we ended up in a pub called The Slaughterhouse (still exists)and there were a load of Wales supporters in there, they shook hands with the Jocks I was with and the started singing "We Hate The English" and a Welsh lad started giving me grief, but fair play to the lads I was with, one of them said "if any of you ****'s touch him we'll batter yous"(in a Glaswegian accent of course) and we carried on drinking with no comebacks.
Very enjoyable day, kept in touch for a few years but just lost touch after that.

I agree with what you say here. However, when you look further afield and specifically at the Shaqiri 'incident', there was clearly less of a feel good factor amongst some of the players and fans.
