Comments on: Liverpool get Palestine stance wrong as fan escorted out of the Kop – opinion https://www.empireofthekop.com/2023/10/28/liverpool-get-palestine-stance-wrong/ Blog about Liverpool F.C. (LFC) and the Kop from true supporters for supporters worldwide. Mon, 04 Dec 2023 19:53:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.9 By: Gary Rogers https://www.empireofthekop.com/2023/10/28/liverpool-get-palestine-stance-wrong/comment-page-1/#comment-161319 Thu, 02 Nov 2023 22:55:28 +0000 https://www.empireofthekop.com/?p=243932#comment-161319 So what you saying is, is it’s OK for innocent people to be killed. People who have no interest in the dictatorship and genocide of Israel. Despite one of our players and coming out asking for peace.

How selfish! Wouldn’t wanna be in a life boat with you mate! Let’s all close our doors and turn our backs. Imagine if we would have done that after Hillsborough! Ho it’s OK, let SYP, tell its lies and slander the good name of people like me who did what we did on that day!

Some people, do my head in!

We live in a democratic Country that gives me the right to say what I want to say or do what I wish to do within the law.

So being told by the f#ckwits that are LFC with its zionist values in doing as we do and what we say isn’t written in my book mate.

You talk about politics and protest, and you had the club selling Ukrainian flags and wares in its shops while some people held aloft in games, yet you go on about protesting and doing it somewhere else! You can’t have it one way then have it another to suit whatever LFC think, f#ckin hypocrites.

Would you be happy to see Israel flags as well as Palestinian ones in the kop. Two sides and sympathies to this tragic story. My view no place for either at a footie match.

No place for protesting on world events. If you need to do that go join a political protest march. Whichever side you take don’t bring it to the match.
Protesting on Hillsborough was correct as it was ‘our’ issue and was Liverpool business.
You were told rightly not to bring any Palestine or Israel flags but you thought you knew better.

If Anfield are selling goods in support of Ukraine,that should stop as well. 99% of people are there to support the football team,if an individual wants to show support for israel or gaza there are plenty of oppurtunities,unless he wants to virtue signal on t.v..

However anti racism support is more than acceptable.

What do you think about Russia and the Ukrainian war now? Do you think that’s not political? Well I’ll tell you it is, so if that’s the case, why was our Club, selling Ukrainian flags and selling their merchandise. You can’t have it one way then change your mind to suit whatever way the wind wind blows! F#ck LFC and their shithousery rule to please the FA, and the Premier League goons. I’ll be taking a flag of Palestine into the ground in support of solidarity and freedom of speech while thinking of the genocide that’s going on in Gaza.

Stampede! What’s that got to do with the genocide that’s going on in Gaza, yer fool.

You speak about not being able to show any form of support to a political cause, yet it was ok for LFC to sell Ukraine flags and other merchandise! Isn’t that
war political.

It’s called being selective and jumping on the western opinion of what people think about Gaza and it’s people.

A football crowd is not the correct place demonstrate your opinion about a war, or opinion about religion, or opinion about politics. You will always have another member of that crowd opposing it. A physical objection could easily ensue, causing possibly a stampede.

Sorry for the supporter. He is rightfully disappointed. But he should have known that he cannot go on Anfield with a political message on his chest. Maybe he is so emotional or angry about the Israel&Gaza war that he does not consider it a political message. But under the circumstances, it is as such.

As a supporter of LFC It’s important that we have the right as fans to express our views and opinions, and not to be hoodwinked and told to keep quiet, while living in a free and democratic society. What would have happened if we would have kept quiet about the injustice, lies and cover-up of Hillsborough, not ro mention Paris and Euefa!
