see that be the thing with pool fans in this forum. they cant take banter....everyone has to be super serious like DukeRed and solstice and post super ultra insightful constructive post with propah grammar and all...wait actually i dont really mind the grammar part. anyways, cut to the chase, some pool fans in this forum are wayyyyyy to sensitive, it just sucks the life out of any fun jibes/banter/wtv...
football will always split opinions even within own clubs, like some ppl will say player x is crap, others will defend him. and when your opinion is vindicated, you just wanna march up to those ppl who said ie, au revoir come back when you have won 18, and just say....HEH! you were sayin?
but apparently that is like zomg bad mouthing liverpool, bring out them history books then kasi le banhammer/post delete. lighten up ppl...dont tell me when you are among your friends you dont give them some stick when their team loses/is doing badly....
if united had beaten pool at anfield, i would be gloating irl and in the forums cause i know it will hurt/piss them off.....which really isnt a bad thing cause it reflects the passion you have for your club. blah blah blah, im sure serious man will come and retort everything i just posted blah blah
ending this with 19! see you when we reach 20...or in the champions league. oh wait. daymnnnn
Plain simple. Your banter isn't banter.
We take football seriously, because we can.

When asked, Liverpool F.C. manager Bill Shankly in 1981 on a Granada Television talk show called "Live from Two", was "Someone said 'football is more important than life and death to you' and I said 'Listen, it's more important than that'."
in our own ways we choose to see it like that. You have fun talking about hillsborough? About heysel? We don't. Because it IS that SERIOUS to us. What is definite is that we choose to exercise our rights in caring, in learning, and exercise our priviledge in not making a light-hearted moment about it, unlike the mancs who in the 1-1 match recently ignored everything that their manager said, and began chanting hillsborough and heysel.
The only thing worth retorting, and I've said it, and I'll repeat, is that in banter you just squirreled. And that is already a point even you attempt to squirrel at in your response. Don't like it? The more you try to justify that what your clubsmen did as a form of banter, the more unacceptable it is.
Oh wait, even if one of us decide to 'poke' at Munich disaster (which would be hypocritical of our stand), you guys would just laugh it off because it matters nothing.
But Hillsborough, and Heysel means A LOT. Its MORE than just a matter of LIFE and DEATH, to Liverpool F.C supporters.
