Are you seriously thick or what ?
Read my earlier post AGAIN. I'm not asking you to like it. I'm asking you to fcuking understand it. And I don't care if my grammar or spelling's bad either. Just fcuking understand it !
Some ppl buy that ticket because they are visiting Anfield for their very first time. Ppl take pictures cos they want to commemorate that rare occasion.
Christ...which bit of that do you not understand ?!?!?

I don't have a fixation on you, you muppet.
I don't give a toss about our previous squabbles either.
Your post regarding OOTs really offended me. Not because it's personal, but because it was a thinly-veiled attack on Liverpool supporters who do not live in Liverpool or are less fortunate to visit Anfield every home match.
I'm not the only one who attacked you for it as well. If someone else posted that crap I'd have replied the same way as well.
So don't flatter yourself. You're nothing to me.
nah mate...it's fine..Sheiky really doesnt mean to go after the OOT's tho..no point getting too angry.
i think he's not stating his intent clearly tho..
the Irish lad with the phone may have been a prat who was more interested in the 'glamour' of being at Anfield..he also may have been a person who had dreamed for years to come and didnt want to forget even one milliecond of the occasion (tho he should have seen the game too)..
Shieky thinks its the first,you think its the second..truth is no one knows..

Ace,
Do you think that ALL fans should concentrate on supporting their team WHILE THE GAME IS BEING PLAYED, and leave themselves time to take photos and wave at each other before or after the game?
I certainly do, and I don't think that viewpoint makes anybody a paid up member of the KKK mate...

You've missed the point Ace. You go to see the game and your idols? Right then don't spend 20 minutes during the game your idols are playing in taking pictures.
Do the "touristy" thing before and after the game. During the game support your team. Its not much to ask - and I'm an OOTer.
Ace_of_Hearts said:
No it isn't, but hey, why let the facts get in the way of an opportunity for you to have a pop.
The more you bleat on the more you make it clearly obvious that your main purpose on here is to stumble around like a pissed teenager looking for a fight with anyone who crosses you.
No doubt you'll go running to the Mods, crying that the horrible Sheik is doing your head in and you want me banned.
You're fixated, get over it. You've openly stated on here your dislike for me. Simple remedy is ignore me. But I know you'll find that impossible to do.

You my 'friend' has just proven to yourself to be a complete tool.
For the umpteenth and last time I'm gonna tell you this.
I don't give a flying toss if that post was made by you or anyone else. It just offended me so I felt it necessary to give my two pence on it. Ryan and VQ did but I don't see you childishly calling them 'being fixated on you' and shooting down all valid points they've made ??
I put my points out constructively but you resort to infantile insults, even to the point of misleading the general public into thinking 'I'm looking to cause a fight with just about anyone who pisses me off'.
It's ok if you wanna prey on my previous squabbles with Nic and use it against me by reminding everyone of it (even though I've made it clear there's no personal vendetta or any of that silly sort), but I made a valid point on a footballing topic.
You refused to acknowledge any of it simply because of some weird and childish accusation of me 'being fixated on you' ??
It's funny how you all take the piss out of Ginger almost on a daily basis, but if I make one comment, it's 'us trying to have our little internet feuds'. :roll:
And what makes you think I dislike you ? What ? Just cos I don't find you funny ? Haha......oh dear. You're a sensitive little one ain't ya ???
Pathetic.
Act your age for once ffs.

Fair enough mate.
But ever wondered that maybe some ppl are over-exuberant at seeing their idols in flesh ? That they're savoring every moment of it ?
Anyway yes, I do see your point but what I don't understand is why do others have to be annoyed with it. It's not like they're being a distraction to others or anything of that sort.
Spionkop69 said:
mate, do u know why they wanna take pictures during the game?
because that could be the only chance they were getting 'that' close to the players, as they might not have the chance to bump into players in some pubs in town, or while they were shopping at tesco. it's the same reason like those who took camera to a world cup match, it could be their only chance in life they were able to do that.
so please, give some sympathy to those who are taking pictures during the game, make someone's only experience in a life time (i'm sure there are many who fall into this category) a memorable one, rather than a bad memory.

well said ... I hope to one day get to Anfield or see Liverpool if they're ever in my area again and I'll take a lot of photos. Why? B/c it just might be the first and last time I'll ever see them 'live' and while memories are what counts, it's always nice to have pictures to show your mates or one day, your kids ...

Vlads Quiff said:From The Liverpool Echo....
A disturbing new trend was seen on the streets of Merseyside on the eve of Liverpools home match against Reading.
Gangs of enraged out-of-towners, or OOTers , as they are sometimes referred to, went on the rampage, hunting down Souse Fans.
One of the OOters who did not want to be named, said to our man on the street. "We are sick to the back teeth, to be sure, of the Scouse bastards thinking that Liverpool is their club."
The gang were burning effigies of someone wearing Bedouin clothes, and a Frank Zappa mask.
In the most serious of the incidents a bus carrying Liverpool supporters who actually come from Liverpool was attacked by the mob.
Nellie Scoggins witnessed the scene.
" They came running down the road at the bus, I had been talking to the people on there who all seemed very nice, apart from an eastern gentleman with a moustache, who kept chanting "Kill the hooters, kill the hooters", or something like that, anyway the next thing all these Irish welsh, woolys and a few oriental types, oh and some Norwegians, tried getting on the bus, all hell broke loose" Nellie went on
"The funny thing was they all had lap top computers, and looked like a right shower of , oh whats that word me grandson uses for Cyril Swot types...that's it Geeks, you would not have thought they had it in em, something must have got to them"
At the scene the police collected evidence that included, shalalees, song sheets, torn out ginger hair and counterfeit football shirts thought to have originated in Malaysia, one with the name "Ong 9" on the back.
Police warned all home grown Liverpool fans to steer clear of Anfield for the next few weeks
The investigation continues
That is RIGHTEOUS Vlad!

Vlad it was a compliment. Too many of the posters take the banter too seriously. As a Liverpool fan for 30 odd years, nobody could possibly tell me that they are better supporters than me simply because I live in South Africa. When we win, we are all happy- when we're lose, I'm like a grizzly with a sore tooth. Stay away.
Was grinning this morning when I saw the piece on Dunk. He has been found out! Hilarious tabloid stuff printed for a tea break. 😳
Ah, the thing is Ace, apart from by original reply to AA very good post, the others have largely been somewhat flippant and not meant to be taken too seriously.Ace_of_Hearts said:
Let me re-state my position, which falls generally between the two camps.
Anfields original post was well thought out and realistic, however it has degenerated the way all these ooter threads do, into a cyber civil war.
As I said earlier on, I welcome people to my City, I will go out of the way to make visitors feel wanted and appreciated. The same , more so, applies to those from outside the city visiting Anfiled,
I was conceived here, born here, educated here, married a girl from here, brought my children up here, never felt the want or the need to move away from here, this is MY City.
The same applies to the football club.
I know fans from other cultures, and other countries in different hemispheres can and do have strong emotional ties to the club, and in some cases have been eloquently and almost movingly written about here, by Ryan , Rosco and others.
A great many of these fans are indeed better fans than some of the more casual home city supporters.
My problem is, and it has again happened in this thread, how disrespectful some people are to the the home City Liverpool fans , seemingly for having the audacity to have the club in their City, even suggesting that because we don't have to get up at 3am, or travel thousands of miles we are not of the same caliber as those in from Kuala Lumpur to New York.
Some even saying that if it was not for the income generated by these fans Liverpool would not be able to compete financially, others that if they did not go to the match there would not be full houses, as the home "fans" can't be bothered going (even though they all live around the corner). I am not about to get on my knees and than everyone for buying a replica kit, not when I could have brought a small island with the money I have spent over forty years of match-going support.
Some cheeky bastard even said that because he walks down Lord Street pissed on his way back to his hotel at 2.00am now and again he appreciates the City more than scousers.
Liverpool does need the income generated by overseas fans, just as every other successful European team does. If none of us had it the same status quo would still exist. In fact if it were not for the financial clout of the overseas fan phenomena United might not be the biggest club in the world.....your peers have a lot to answer for !!
So, as I said, welcome to one and all, I appreciate your support, and your commitment, and your shared fond memories.
However regardless of how many times you were jiggled on dads knee, or how much you remember about your first game, or how ever it was you fell in love with Liverpool, some of us have it in our blood, we may not be better supporters, but in some things in life there is a natural and inescapable reality. Liverpool FC is not some digital plaything that it matters not where it floats around , so everyone can own a piece, it is brick mortar steal and dreams and resides in Liverpool.
