Of course but some are also not telling people that if their opinion differs in some way they're some kind of passionless lower life form either. It's unneccesary
 
Wow, for someone who seems coherent at other times you certainly have a well refined talent for grasping the wrong stick at the wrong end. Nobody's getting angry at Gerrard for making the call to leave - he deserves to do it now or any time.

What pisses me off is those who claim in one post it's a non-event, contradict themselves in subsequent posts and then claim those who don't go along are bellends.

And if you can't grasp the meaning of a metaphor without getting bent out of shape by the literal aspects then I give up. You've got bigger problems

No, I'm saying you're a bellend for your insulting behaviour. Come and insult me to my face you fucking shithouse.
 
Take it easy fellas..

Let's try and avoid insulting each other hey? ..

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.. but less of the kicking off because you don't agree with it please.

Ta..
 
I'm going to posit a thought






Are the ones who are so overtly emotional over all this, the same type who would have burned his effigy back in the day?

Bloody hell that's bollocks.

I was just going to leave it cause I couldn't be bothered but the lack of nous for some posters to be capable of noting what is being objected to and what isn't leaves me stunned.

I loved watching Keegan tear teams apart; when the rumours started that he was going to go I refused to believe it and was young enough to think it couldn't happen. By half way through his final season I knew it was true - but I still simply couldn't believe it. My old man and a couple of uncles told me that he wasn't the first and he wouldn't be the last. Every team is the greatest in history but it always sinks eventually and there's always another team to take it's place and stake its own claim. The same is true of players - so they said; he might seem irreplaceable but someone else will come through soon enough.

As it turned out it was probably the greatest example in Liverpool history of how true those words were. Within a few years I couldn't imagine how a greater replacement than Kenny would have been possible - he was everything. I'd seen it before on a less spectacular scale and I've watched the model replicate multiple times since then. So, in short, no - my apologies but the lovely theories of more experience or the "been here before" cliché being put about are not just made of glass but they're built on sand as well. I've watched it all for many years - sometimes too many that I don't want to count them.

Will Liverpool continue - of course it will; there's no oafs out there crying doom, nobody out there thinking this is some kind of death knell for the club. If anything, those who are mourning - and that's all it is - those who are mourning the end of a legend are being far more pragmatic than the rest. Suggesting otherwise is simply a demonstration of some very pitiful comprehension skills and a rather strong condemnation of many a national education programme.

In the 400's and 500's AD the family unit practiced the approach of having numerous children. This wasn't an effort at increasing populations quickly or looking for power; it was an understanding that there was a good chance several children would not survive the first 10 years so best to have a few who could take their place. Did it work - well, it ensured the survival of the species. The unintended consequence was a society which devalued life excessively and, according to a number of historical commentators, stunted forward progress and led to what is commonly referred to as the Dark Ages.

What I - and anybody who views the game as something other than a collection of chemicals designed to elicit specific, hormonal responses from those who view it - object to is quite simple. Comments such as "I don't know what all the fuss is about" have got nothing to do with experience, pragmatism or "the club is greater than the player" cliché. They're either an effort at "I'm too cool for school" bollocks or a simple lack of passion.

My comment to Lippy was based on that one line - hence the reason I quoted it. I'm sure most of us here have lost relatives or close friends to cancer or some other kind of condition. In most cases we knew it was coming so, really, when they died I guess the sadness was just pointless, arm waving hysteria. Bollocks again. Get a bloody life. If you're that unaffected by the passing of close friends or relatives then crawl back under the rock at the back of the cave and stay there - for everyone's sake. If you're so unaffected by the departure of possibly the greatest player in the history of the club you claim to love then you, son, were tragically born without a personality. Go find one amongst the rest of the emotion free, computer coded nerds and leave the humans who still understand passion to reflect on the end of an era.

If it really doesn't affect you then why the hell are you in this thread? Piss off and do something else irrelevant. Forgive me if I don't want to dismiss the moment as just another brick in the wall garbage and move along like it's some kind of non-event. If you have trouble understanding why people are making a fuss about it then just move along; go back to playing darts, studying tadpoles or whatever else it is that humanoids like you do.

I'll admit I've only scan read this post but it is utterly bizarre. I'll pick up on one section if I may. I know all about real grief. In fact I've referred to it on here in recent days. I lost my father to cancer so don't dare suggest I don't know what it is to lose someone close. And love Liverpool and Steven Gerrard as i do, nothing, but nothing comes close to the grief I experieinced following the loss of my father. The rest of your post is just pure nonsense.

And I haven't seen me, Lippy, Fabio, FFF or anyone else who shares our view level such abuse at anyone.

Wow.
How childish.
Always thought you were better than this but it's obvious that a man with an agenda is a man scorned.

Lippy is a well known man of apathy towards our club. From volunteering to manage this site for a bunch of strangers, to helping upgrade it and then, in a clear statement of not giving a damn, then having them stay in his home, after arranging tickets for many of them.

And then he has perspective, allowed for by a little aging. I mean, he doesn't give a hoot. It's clear.

If he cared more about the club he'd be pounding the keyboards more with easy to convey words, not misleading deeds.

"the ones"

There are like 3 people on this site who fit this profile you and Lippy are describing.
 
I don't get the whole burning shirts thing. Waste of a shirt.
Perfectly fine shirt to wear if I'm gonna paint, clean, work out etc.

Why buy one any way? Unless it's for five a side (and you don't get a name in the back). Or you're below the age of twelve. Or Irish. Or Skando.

Never bought a shirt with a name on it. Just too close to Idolatry for my liking. That's where I draw the line.

Says the big Skando. [emoji2]
Anyway us Irish only put a name on it so we know it's ours.
