One for Bagpuss:

The MPs expenses row has reached the football world. The FA have launched an enquiry into why Rafa Benitez has been claiming for silver polish.

And poor old Alex won't be needing what he ordered too.:)

Somehow I doubt I will receive an apology from Mr Jim Botty.;)

I reported the post as well, I've no problem with a bit of friendly banter but do think posts like the one I reported could put new members off joining/posting if they think abusive posts are allowed.

If this thread keeps turning into a slanging match its going to be closed
so please stay on topic without the name calling.

We are getting fedup with this childish name calling on site

Re: Bet Bagpuss is legless this afternoon
 

I believe Bagpuss holds you with high regard too :rolleyes:

Re: Bet Bagpuss is legless this afternoon
 

You are right Bernadette, I think even some of the 'friendly' stuff may seem a bit dour to a newbie, I remember my first fall out with JB, and when he gets the grots, he can be pretty unpleasant, most on here know when to stop, it is my opinion that he doesnt, I didnt see the post concerned, but I can imagine, and would guess there would likely be an extreme case of double standard going on, defended by the usual 'I speak as I find' kind of comment. There is no excuse for name calling, even if it is usually aimed at the same person because many find him obnoxious.

Re: Bet Bagpuss is legless this afternoon
 

Certainly Mick, I think I might have egged JB on this time but if you can't take what you give ect.......

Back to topic whatever that was, I'm still legless after Wednesday night.:D

Re: Bet Bagpuss is legless this afternoon
 

24 years ago on the 29th May 1985 a contingent of Liverpool hooligan fans inside the Heysel Stadium in Brussels for the European Cup Final, stampeded towards rival fans after exchanging a series of insults with them an hour before the schedule kick-off time. The crush caused a dividing wall to collapse and the Juventos fans, in trying to get away from the advancing hoards of Liverpool FC hooligans, got trampled in the rush. 39 Italian and Belgian fans were killed and hundreds injured.

See Heysel Stadium Disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In light of the deaths the result was immaterial but for the record Juventus 1 (a penalty taken by Platini) Liverpool 0.

There used to be a saying about Liverpool fans – “you can take a Liverpool fan anywhere twice. The second time to apologise for his/her behaviour the first time.

UEFA banned all English clubs from any of the three European competitions of the day but after heavy and prolonged lobbying by the FA, the ban was lifted after five years. Thanks a bunch Liverpool hooligans. The whole footballing country was made to suffer because of you. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/768380.stm

It took LFC 15 years to commemorate the disaster. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/768142.stm

So what happened to a commemoration service on the 29th?

But then it was Johnny Foreigner who got killed so there is no need to commemorate annually even though the Liverpool hooligan hoard was directly responsible for their deaths. Some even got charged with manslaughter.

A clear case of double standards.

Out of curiosity I looked at the official LFC web site to see if there was any mention of Heysel. There wasn’t but I did find the following at http://www.anfield-online.co.uk/opinion/nick/2009/champions-league-result/

So the vitriol is being stirred by an official contributor to the web site and thus the club for allowing such ravings to be posted.

I also searched the Manchester United official web site at http://www.manutd.com/ but I couldn’t find any similar comments about LFC.

I think that, that says it all.

Re: Bet Bagpuss is legless this afternoon
 

Don't know what your point is but Anfield-Online is an independant website and nothing to do with Liverpool FC.
Have a look at some off the independant Man Utd sites if you want your rantings to be a balanced arguement.

Don't be daft Bagpuss he slagging Liverpool off, just to make a point:rolleyes:

What no comments about Heysel?

Double standards confirmed.
