I may be shunned and vilified on here being a Liverpool supporter but I actually liked Terry. I THOUGHT he was a stand up guy, good teammate and was honorable. I dont generally hate players because they play for other teams. I give just dues and respect to any player who is good. But I also dont like the me first attitudes of certain stars. I'm a little saddened at the whole Terry affair. I saw him as a good player who was an inspiration to youth players. What he did was unforgivable. Blood is thicker than wine. If you F**k a friends wife that is a serious character defect and he should be made an example. I dont understand how you can play on a field and sacrifice so much for your team and teammates and then do that. Its just unforgivable. Hopefully this creates a riff in Chelsea and it relates to the play on the field and they slip in the league table. Its possible. How can you trust him.
And just a bit off topic. But relative to the story.
I enjoy watching guys like Ronaldo play. He is awesome and his moves and ability on the pitch are awe inspiring. But at times he is a bit of a tw*t and his diving and fake injuries are annoying but when he beats those defenders and scores its amazing. I respect good play and good players. I like, I love good football, tactical players and solid skills. Regardless of the shirt or club they represent.cWere not one sided. We can appreciate "Good Football" whether its our players or an opposing team.
I think thats what makes LFC supporters the best in the world. We cheer and cry for our team but can appreciate greatness when we see it. I have seen and heard the Liverpool supporters cheer for an opposing player who makes a fantastic play or goal. Thats what being a football supporter is, its following your club and recognizing greatness in all forms.
Unless its Rooney. Hate the pr**k
. I cant stand that little pumpkin headed bi*ch,
I dont support Barca but I love Messi. He is an all around fantastic player. I love watching him play and he is going to be a legend.
One thing I noticed about people on this forum and the Liverpool fans in general. The whole LFC community really protects their own. Its almost being a part of something. Feeling of belonging to something big. I'm an American, an automatic outsider, who has been a supporter since I was 11-12 years old. A self made supporter only having a box of VHS tapes to watch when I was young. I watched all the great games and documentaries. Had to spend months just finding books in libraries and learning about the history.
I know if I made a trip to Anfield for my first game, I would be treated with respect by the true LFC fans and welcomed. I dont think I would be considered a "dumb Yank" doing the tourist thing. I may not be Scouse or from Merseyside, but I paid my dues and went through the good and bad. I actually choked up after Istanbul. I truly feel DEEP emotion for this team and when that day comes, when I drink up at the Arkles or Cabbage Hall, when I'm standing in the KOP singing YNWA or the "Torres Bounce" it will be the greatest moment of my life. First round on me.
