It is bloody shit crack mind you...

Liverpool is for the most part a terrific City but like every major place in this country has it's bad parts and I do have to laugh at the irony when people from places like Wolverhampton and Leicester sing it to them

I would cringe if we went up and sung it

Exactly, it’s the same as the ‘X place is a shithole, I wanna go home’. It was a social commentary at first but is copied and pasted so you get the strange situation of people from all over the country calling Oxford or Cambridge a shithole. Liverpool is a great city so the song is pretty baseless so should be laugh off like the ‘shit hole’ song is.

If it’s racist, homophobic and disaster chanting, the clubs should intervene. Likewise, there’s a moral obligation to condemn and police violence, disorder and anti-social behaviour.

For example, I don’t like that we’ve ’you’re just a shot Sakamoto’ to opposition Korean and Japanese players… It’s ‘shit crack’ but if the club came out and condemned, its overreach from a corporation (effectively) policing speech.

Maybe that speech has limits?

Maybe that speech has limits?

It certainly does and I’ve outlined where the line is drawn.

Joking around to ‘feed the scousers’ doesn’t really need to be policed. Nor, in the England context, about singing about WW2…

As a general principle, we don’t need football clubs and FAs giving fans a set of approved chats such as: “fight and win”.
