To clear something up....

This is in regards to the people who only read one half of the story.

Recently a Uefa member went out of his way to label Liverpool's fans as the worst in Europe. <-----This is where most people stopped reading and that led to people thinking dumb things because people only read what they want to hear sometimes.

The fact of the matter is Michel Platini has denounced these claims. Who is Michel Platini you ask, only the Chief of Uefa, the big Cheese, and probably one of the best Midfielders ever to play the game to boot.

"What is most surprising about the latest comments from Mr Gaillard is that on the eve of the final, he quite rightly commented that Liverpool supporters 'have a tradition of good behaviour'.

Comments from a BBC Report

"Let's not forget that these same supporters who Mr Gaillard is claiming are now the worst in Europe were praised by Uefa President Michel Platini after our semi-final victory against Chelsea only last month.

"They were commended for their behaviour in Istanbul in 2005 and actually honoured by Uefa at a gala dinner in Monte Carlo in 2001 as joint Supporters of the Years with Alves after the Uefa Cup final."

So who is telling the truth here. Uefa seems to be playing the blame game when it is acutally their fault for allocating only 17000 tickers for Liverpool in a 60000 seat stadium. Uefa knew that Liverpool supporters were upset that they had been cheated out of seeing their team play. At the gate for the game, Uefa workers were letting in people who didnt even have tickets and supporters with legitmate tickets were turned away. So who dropped the ball. If you paid upwards of 1000 Pounds, almost $2500 Canadian for a ticket and you couldnt get in, you would be mad. This is not even mentioning travel costs to Athens.

So when people say well Liverpool must have the worst fans because of a massive mistake by Uefa, and totally ignoring the embarrasing actions of Manchester United Fans in Lens and Rome, doesn't make sense. And it just goes to show people will only read what they want to hear, then they stop and get all their facts mixed up and they looked ridiculous when trying to argue their flawed point.

Liverpool's fans are the Loudest in the word (actually hold a world record for this) and are the most supoorting fans as well. It's not lie when Samuel Eto'o adores the Liverpool Fans, Thierry Henry has spoken praises before, even Ronaldinho. It's clear Uefa is wrong, and now they have thier tails between their legs trying to rectify the situation. Expect apolgies within the next couple of weeks.

Scott, are you saying that because of previous "good behavior" Liverpool fans should be immune from skeptisism when they act inapropriately? If you have a pet, let's say a dog. He consistently acts good. Now on one day he mauls the mail man, because of previous good behavior should the dog not be punished? Maybe even put down...?

What i am saying is, that you cannot say that over the past 4 years there has been all these problems and then they get awards and praises for their behavior. Plus if it was so bad, why wouldn't they have dealt with it then?

Your one who only reads half the story and will argue against this to try and get me going. But clearly Liverpool are innocent of anything, and this is shown in the way Uefa is now dealing with the situation.

Sometimes Jon you need to learn a little and read more into thing before you speak.

Ah, but Scott it's so much fun to see you get passionately rialed up over something so inconsiquential. It's pretty well the high point of my day!

Scott said...

You must not have that good of a day then lol. It's not about being riled it, its about talking about the WHOLE truth, or story, not just half of it.

Scott said...

riled up*

See, half truths get you rialed up, so if I say a bit of a story you get angry, then I get some quality humor for the day.
