Is there any other club in the country whose fans sell each other fake tickets, or climb over walls/barriers to get in for free, thus depriving their fellow fans of their rightful places?
You'd think after Heysel and Hillsborough they might have learned to behave like civilised human beings, but actually they seem hell bent on topping their past "achievements".
Best supporters in the world? I think not... just scally scum!

This was an intelligent discussion between intelligent people and something which an imbecile like you has no part in.
I really can't understand why you haven't been banned from these forums for talking absolutely shite.
Why don't you go to where you can have a discussion with people of the same lowly IQ as yourself. It will be a lonely place as you'll be on your own but with a name like singleton and an attitude like yours then no doubt being on your own is something you are used to.

Not crowd violence per se, but would the tragedy have happened to the supporters of any other club? I think not.
Ticketless Liverpool supporters have a history of turning up in their thousands at venues and trying to get in for free by either rushing the checkpoints to make it nigh on impossible for the stewards to do their job, or by climbing over walls and fences. These are the actions of mindless idiots who care not for the safety and security of their "fellow" fans... just so long as they get to see the game the others can go fuck themselves.
What happened in Athens could so easily have led to more deaths at the hands of Liverpool supporters. If the fans with genuine tickets who were unable to see the game really want to know who is to blame, all they need do is look at the man sat next to them at the next Liverpool home game!
Throughout their history Liverpool supporters have blamed others (typical of the "professional victim" status they love to wallow in)... crumbling old stadium, bad policing, poor stewarding. Yet why is it almost always Liverpool fans that are involved?
When was the last time a group of Everton, Bolton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Blackburn, Middlesborough, or Newcastle fans were involved in these type of incidents?

I wasn't the first in this thread to mention Hillsborough, actually!
What I have said is the poor behaviour of Liverpool fans has often contributed to the deaths of both their own fans and the fans of other teams, and the typical scally mentality of many of their fans could so easily have led to another Hillsborough in Athens.
I am not "trampling" on the memories of the dead... just pointing out the obvious to those too blind to see it!

Scally is a word well known in the north west of England. Its origin comes from the Irish word scallywag meaning a farm labourer.
It mainly describes the unemployed, illiterate sub classes that those in the south of England recognise nowdays by the word chav, although the use of the word scally goes back much further in linguistic history.
Although used in Manchester and other parts of North West England, it can be traced back to those Liverpool supporters who stood on the Anfield Road terrace in the mid 1970s who dressed in expensive "designer" sportswear, and many of those supporters called themselves scallys! I even remember seeing banners bearing the words "Shanks scally army" and I'll try and see if I can Google some photos for you.
In popular culture "the three scousers" in the Harry Enfield Show sketches and Damon Grant in Brookside are examples of the Scally.
It is not the same as calling someone a Paki or a Yid.
