A lot of the problem arises from people getting tickets who have either never been to Anfield before or have attended very little, they don't know the songs and they spend more time looking at the people who are singing instead of joining in themselves.
They are waiting for the team to entertain them, well it works both ways, you have to get behind the team and they'll entertain you.
There's no excuse not to know the songs, with all the internet site's there are nowadays, you can find them if you look hard enough.
Also I think a lot of people go to impress others........."Oh yes, I go to Anfield", they brag to their mates, but you ask them to name the scorers that first won the European Cup in 77 and they couldn't do it
I am one of the lucky ones who saw Liverpool at their best, I feel very privileged to have stood on the kop for years and sang my heart out, to see us win League Championships, to be in different countries when we lifted those European Cups in the 70's and 80's....the atmosphere was electric.
Times have changed, football has changed, in those days, players, chairmen, Managers and fans weren't motivated by money unlike nowadays.
I have been to many a match where you had to queue to get in, and on some occasions never got in at all. I've stood at Anfield hours before kick off, singing all the songs, that's when the wit and humour came out from the kop, they would pick up on any little incident going on around the ground, and immediately make up a song about it.
I have to say they were great times.
The normal everyday fan has been priced out of the game, when I come to Anfield it costs me on average about £80, you can't afford to do that every game. I would dearly love to get to Anfield more often, I just can't afford to go to every game, but when I do manage to get a ticket, I am over the moon and like to make the best of the occasion, and after all these years of going. It still has a special grip on me.............maybe its because I am a scouser, and I'm going 'home'.
What I find most annoying is when your at a match.........the players are up against it, there crying out for a bit of support, and fans turn their back on them...........disgustin
g, and it really pisses me off.
They sit there moaning about Rafa's selection and how kuyt should be doing this, that or the other.
I HATE THAT, and I have to agree with JD.............give your f***in' season ticket to someone who'll back the lads 100%
For god's sake get behind the boys, your there as a fan to support the team, so for pity's sake support will ya !!!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing all the miserable non singing bas**rds that JD is going to post up............I'll tell you something, you won't see me.
Rant Over.........for now
