( OUR Shanks Red army = THE Liverpool way!)
to para phrase the who's lyrics ... " Hope we die before we get COLD" ..or blue... or sit in the centenary and leave before the end..
Yeah, scallies, but if anyone of us was in trouble, we NEVER walked alone...
WE are LIVERPOOL..
it WAS OUR CLUB!
....should we spot some early leavers... and its with an ironic smile I watched all those file out despite Klopps previous pleadign NOt to be "left alone" I am not a "Kloppite" but he has a point, (but please dont smile after that sort of result , Juergen!)
and... considering the modern fake book, pop - media CENSORSH&T on the net now the "thought police" rule who and what dare air their opinions, I am probably writing this for myself, the few true REdS, and the censors! (FU 2!)
A guide...
if you want to be a TRUE REd...
/.... dont let your kids betray your REd SOUL
... show them dignity!
Stand up for the 96, and Social Justice! Difficult to imagine, that we would even sing YNWA in the middle of the game, would NOT need "Gerry" to get us started , either...
losing would provoke "NO SURRENDER" ...
Expect the team to leave the field exchausted, as we often were..
Arrogance, when coasting comfortably near the end.. should require.."show them the way to go home" ...
and intermittent "oh when the REds"
(alternate chorus..)
WE would NOT be "UKIPPERS" our working class SOCIALIST army included all colours and creeds, many a Kopite worked on the docks, or in a factory..(later shut by Thatchers goons & fascist policies) and probably at least 50% of scouser ancestry is immigrant (dont mention "legal" because no human BEing can be "illegal") even from just across the Irish sea,,,
Any method to get to away games, including "bunking" and thumbing it.
Encourage Red players having a mare...
Take the P... out of important opponents..bring THEM down..
grudgingly but honestly credit an away team who comes to Anfield & wins with courage & attractive footy... (applauding Leeds, and even Arsenal, after that '89 end of season heartache)
(save your criticism for quiet moans down the pub, out of earshot, of the "enemy")
.... ... the social media equivalent is public ridiculing players, a witty bit of clever sarcasm can be acceptable in valid circumstances
..and of course attacking the directors fits the LIVERPOOL way, since the days of Shanks ("they are only here to sign the cheques") .. especially as they belong to the USAcorp BILLIONAIRES (or friends of...) club...
one of the best feelings was , during hard times, goign away to the english capital , to wembley finals or cockney opponents, winning in their back yard and parading our scarves and flags before the journey home, we were always "Shanks RED army"!
and...
significant "memories " reminder from Fb ;
(first penned 1977, went for the treble ) re-written
.... the Dream
" i dream of her skin.....as smooth as silk
of her lips as drinky as milk
...I dream of her breast , as hard as a pebble..
..and her loins ..oh so vital...
BUT MOST OF ALL...I DREAM OF THE TITLE ... "

I Love Kenny, and I wonder how many "modern Lfc fans" realise that our generation who "made" the trinity, during the Dynasty of Shanks-Bob-Joe-Kenny,, realise that (although its a word virtually "banned" in your society) we (and on the Kopp especially) were 99% "Socialist" ..? until the 80's when the domination of footy by our club led to more London/southern based "Fans" jumping on the succes bandwagon, (which incidentally, but no insignificantly led to them being n the "neutral zone at Heysel....) ,,, that many lads were involved in the !anti-establishment music scene during the Thatcher regime..(and Riots in Toxteth) ...or that most football gangs/"ultras" were/are of right-wing / fascist /conservative type... reflected in your politics today, business & military & such influences your daily input of info.. and that "tastes" of the G&H/Henry-werner "business" style .. goes against basic instincts of Liverpool community and "working class heroes" .. :) Liverpool was almost always a Social-Liberal community, with co-operative societies etc that certainly trumpites would call "commie" .. this was our domain .. Anti- Thatcher, through to Anti-.Cameron (he and Boris are of "them" too...and yesterday the struggle concerning HILLSBOROUGH a typical struggle to get "Justice" from a right wing conservative/business govt// whose poliicies were a man factor in the manslaughter of 96 of "ours" ... I wouldnt mention Serie A, because many clubs are business owned, but in the UK the "problem" is that many Football chairman/directors were "of that ilk" too .. and "smark sharks" were / are able too "flash the cash" and appeal to their greedy mindset too easily,,, Germans had always , in football and everything , of re-structuring their clubs from "fresh start" after WW2 ,, because the business / aristocracy had been "cleaned" out.. (mostly) and could make clubs fro the fan based community ... whereas the english model, still had too many "old boys " .. its the Socialist heart that kept these people figting...for justice... however its too late for many of our people..
