Ironically this guy had the job of Assistant Secretary at Anfield in the Peter Robinson days. He used to tell me stories about when he got into trouble with Kenny Dalglish and so-on.

I assume the used of the Word "had" suggest that you finally snapped and smacked him silly!!
I think as a football fan you have to accept the banter and needle. We all do it. As it happened our work careers took us in different directions although I am still in touch with him on Facebook.
I still have a Manc mate from college who used to do that kind of thing in the Ferguson Dark Ages, except he used to phone up to do it, which I found majorly irritating after a while. The last few years have been a welcome relief and I'm hopeful that will continue, not least because he's just shacked up with a new lady who, as it happens, is a bit of a Liverpool fan.
Interestingly I dont do that. I never have. I understand and appreciate fandom.
When we beat Chelsea I dont say anything to Dave (you know Dave) or Spurs to my spurs pals.
I like to think my silence is noise enough. I never banter about stuff with others, I dont know why, I just never have. And to be fair most of my friends dont either, we talk about football but not winding each other up.
My manc supporting mate I hardly see anymore & we rarely speak. Last season he texted me to ask why I wasn't putting the boot in every weekend.
I just said 'I don't believe in kicking a man when he's down'. He saw the funny side. He worked in an office in Liverpool for years so he's actually a lot more mellow than most Utd fans.

I use silence on the gobby ones. It irritates them more because they expect the gobbiness back. The silence just keeps them waiting for something that doesn't come.
Remind her where she lives! Or send Peter round to educate her. Actually don't do that.
He's a bad bellend.
Rattled?
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has got his excuses in early ahead of their upcoming trip to Anfield by claiming their fixture schedule is a “poisoned gift”.
Mourinho bemoaned the fact that the clash with Jurgen Klopp's resurgent Liverpool had been moved to Monday, October 17 to be shown live on Sky Sports.
United entertain Fenerbahce in the Europa League three days later before taking on Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, October 23.
Speaking after United had laboured to a 1-0 win over Ukrainian outfit Zorya Luhansk at Old Trafford on Thursday night, Mourinho voiced his frustration that they face three such key fixtures in the space of six days.
“Well, we could play Liverpool on the Saturday, we could play Liverpool on the Sunday,” the United manager said. “We play Liverpool on the Monday.
“So maybe we don't have the best conditions, especially because we play against two top Premier League games that don't play in European competitions.
“We had this kind of poisoned gift of playing on the Monday. That creates a very difficult situation, but we want to try and qualify for the next round. We want to try.
“(There is a) long time to go, almost a month, but we want to try, so we will play against Fenerbahce with a team with possibilities to beat Fenerbahce.”
Asked if he tried to get the Liverpool games moved, Mourinho said: "I think it is impossible.
“The poisoned gift is already there, so what can you do? We just have to play Monday, and then Thursday, and then Stamford Bridge on the Sunday.
“But before that we have Stoke (this Sunday), so let us concentrate on Stoke because it is another poisoned gift because Stoke is not what the table says.
“The manager is very good, the players are good, the team is good, so when I look to the table, that's not Stoke's position. I play against a good Stoke and not the Stoke in that position in the table.”

He just knows that the atmosphere that night is going to be mental.
