There's a few narratives:

Liverpool's b team totally outclassed the Rovers.

We were originally sat amongst the rovers ultras, who reserve their ire for
1 the Bohis
2 irish followers of English teams( 90% of the crowd- mostly dad with their kids like me)

Some of the chants were funny:

three nil and you fcuked it up (touché)
Does your telly know you're here?


To the hateful:

You're Brits and you know you are
Who's that crushed against the railings
You in your liverpool slums.

This to a bunch of bemused dads with their young kids, blocking their ears to the swear words for the most part.


Twas an experience.

Having lived with dogs and cats about the place for most of my life. This does not surprise me.

Yeah saw that. What's really weird is the mother just leaves the kid after inspecting him.

Did she not go looking for the dog, as in to make sure it was gone or chase it off properly?

.ak

Ah yeh but wouldn't you just pick the child up off the ground to make sure he's safe out of instinct? Not that I know anything about maternal instincts. I reckon I'll lose my first born within a week.

No idea either tbh. It depends I suppose. If you heard the dog still hanging around you'd chase it off first possibly?

.ak

I'd grab the kid and run indoors myself. Dogs don't really get 'chased off' if they're aggressive.

If I was a dog I'd rather mess with a human than a cat.

What if you were a Rhino? Would you rather fight a Hippo or an Elephant?

These are the questions that need to be asked

An elephant. All day long. Hippos are nasty.

The way that cat attacked that poor dog. His confidence will never return, his performances will be average.

Joe Schmidt is responsible for it. I don't know how but I just know he is.

Someone needs to edit Joe's Wikipedia page a la Franno.

Definitely an elephant then . They'd have more trouble moving around.

Give me an elephant any day. Hippos are mean. They can run at 40km per hour and are I'll tempered.

I did a safari before and the hippo was only one of 4 animals the guide said he didn't like getting close to due to their demeanour (hippo, buffalo, white rhino and leopard).

First two chants are pretty funny..... does your telly know you're here is a classic in fairness.

railings one is way out of order. Although I'm sure Liverpool fans have sung worse themselves- chants like that are way too prevalent.


As for swearing, you'll get that at any sport tbf. League of Ireland is great craic imo.

He's still doing his world tour of Kerry?
His star has really fallen in the last 3 years, I do quite like him, but he's lost his cutting edge a little imo

A lot of his jokes always depended on being loud and as soon as the loudness started to outweigh the funny he became a little tired.

He went to crap a few years back. Even during his most popular phase, I think he had already had his best material behind him. He exploded in Ireland about 10-12 years ago. But before that, he toured England extensively. He won the Perrier Award at Edinburgh back in the 90s. I didn't have a clue who he was but saw his routine on TV and I had tears running down my face.

Oddly enough, he broke through in Ireland a few years after when a DVD blew up. I'd say every second household in Ireland had it in a Christmas stocking.

But, yeah, gone badly downhill since. He became less funny and more vulgar. He struggled with the idea that controversial doesn't necessarily equate to funny.

I saw him just as he was beginning to get big in Ireland when he was a warm up to Denis Leary. I'd never heard of this irish comic... who comes out to a crowd who weren't there to see him and within a few minutes he had brought the house down. Completely upstaged Leary who was ****... really really ****.

I see Sepp Blatter has said the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar was a mistake!

Lol Qatar are gonna build a 45K stadium in Al Khor, Al Khor has a population of 31K, another 45K stadium is gonna be built in Madinat ash Sharmal which has a population of 8K!

How could he have foreseen this all those years ago when he accepted the bribe.

A little left field, but does anyone know how many dogs a council tenant is allowed keep in a house? Have a feeling a neighbor of mine is breeding some & it's getting a bit ridiculous at this stage ,
