another in the long line of shit spider-neil threads :laugh:
basically going through torres to city thread a number of people have said 'I'll give up football if he leave'
so what would/could make you give up liverpool?

from a personal point of view when liverpool were in for lee bowyer had they actually signed him I would have boycotted liverpool until he was sold.
 
I still support liverpool but I no longer love football likr I used to. There has to be a very good reason for me to watch a non liverpool game these days.

Basically because football in thos country has become complete bollocks.
 
There isn't anything that would stop me supporting Liverpool.
There are things that may affect the level of my support but I think I'll always be a red.

pretty much. just the fact that we all desperately (and apparently glibly) want to leave anfield for some giant, echoing corporate facility, just in order to compete, tells me there's something badly wrong with modern football.

i think this is one 'industry' that can't be left to the free market any more - i hope uefa and platini can help sort something out. i don't know exactly what, but there needs to be some sort of regulation - of ticket prices, debt levels, possibly revenue redistribution.

i've always maintained that football's not a business - look at the way any increase in revenues just flow straight to the players - and so there needs to be some reflection of that in its regulation. the problem is i don't know how you'd get rid of the parasites currently owning so many of the clubs.


all a bit rambling that, i'm sure, but has anyone else come to the same essential 'enough's enough' conclusion?
 
There's the beginning of a mob within SOS that are trying to target Dalglish because he's working for the yanks. If they ever go after him that'll be the end for me.

What, you'd stop supporting the club because there are a few crazy cats knocking around?
 
In an odd way I'd probably support them more if they were at a lower level.

We wouldn't have to listen to sky etc telling us how we are meant to support our team/what we are meant to think etc every other second.

If that mindset and all it represents became pervasive, absolutely.

What the man says. I appreciate what neil says about Ratboy and what drizzt says about those numbskulls in SoS, but nothing and nobody is going to take my club out of my life. If anything, developments like that would make me more determined than ever to stick around and do what I could to rescue the situation.
 
I cannot envisage any circumstances that would deprive Liverpool Football Club of my support.

I have followed them for nigh on forty years now, through thick and thin, (I know that the thin wasn't exactly anorexic) and although my support may have waxed and waned a bit over the years I have always been a red.

I look forward to forty more years and hopefully then some, of still being a red.

No.

I might lose interest in the sport as a whole, but Liverpool will always be ingrained in me...

To be fair that's what would happen for me.
 
Yeah I mentioned in the other thread that football would be dead if Torres went to City. I'd still support Liverpool, but my interest in football on a whole would have wained significantly. Same if Kaka went to City, but to a much a lesser extent obviously. Football in this country is a farce as it is now. I'd probably end up watching Spanish football a lot more for the quality.
 
Aren't Puma the ones who made the all in one kit for Cameroon? And the sleeveless kit that got banned or something?

I think anyone saying they'd give up on LFC is probably being a bit shortsighted. I mean, it'd be a massive blow, and it could dent your enthusiasm in the short term, but what on earth would you fill the void with? And even if you managed it for a season or longer, you just know there would come a time when you'd find yourself watching MOTD or stumbling upon us playing in the pub and you couldn't help but find yourself willing us to win. They're our boys FFS. Ultimately, the enthusiasm would return and you'd end up back in the cycle again.

For me, I doubt it'd last a week. I mean, sure, I'd be mortified and all, but Liverpool is a drug for me. Sometimes I love it; sometimes I hate it; sometimes I get the pure stuff and it's euphoric; sometimes I get a bum deal and it leaves me feeling robbed. Sometimes I feel like there's nothing else I'd rather do; sometimes I feel I could be spending my time more productively - but ultimately, none of it stops me tuning in at the same time the following week.

Football fans are fickle. The reason we're fickle is because we're passionate. And while that passion may see us taken to the brink every once in a while, it is precisely that passion that would bring us back. Some quicker than others, perhaps, but it's unavoidable.

What seriously ? Where did you see/hear this ?
 
If it were true, I would say that people within SOS would stamp it out fairly quickly.
If they want to gain support and build momentum towards their goals then going after Kenny is not going to help them at all.
 
I really don't think there is any one thing that at this stage of my life that could make me feel bad enough to stop supporting Liverpool Football Club.

At 40 years young this year I have been fortunate enough to have seen some of the greatest sides and players imaginable wear that famous red shirt. Good times a plenty and also more than enough sad and dark ones all of which have helped form the massive bond and affinity I feel towards the club and the city itself.
All that said, for me anyway its no longer all consuming as it used to be, other things in my life have now become much more important. I still get pissed off when results aren't going our way but it doesn't get to me as much as it used to.

I genuinely believe Istanbul was the turning point as far as that was concerned for me. What could ever beat that, we were back where we belonged and any doubts that we would regain our status amongst Europes elite were all wiped away in one glorious night. I remember waking up the following morning, dying of a hangover and then it slowly came back that we had actually won, that LFC were Champions of Europe again. I actually cried tears of joy that morning, something that had never happened before with regard to any sporting occasion even Dublin winning the All Ireland didn't have the same effect on me.
It was a wonderful feeling and that very same day myself and my girlfriend went out and booked the hotel for our wedding reception and then spent the remainder in our local watching the victory parade.
What a brilliant 48 hours that was. One that I don't think will ever be matched in my life.
