Hi all. I wasn't at the game today but I heard a couple of things about the way the fans were treated. And wanted to know if people could confirm whether or not these things were true if they were there.

It's confirmed that a flare was thrown into the away end, but other rumours I saw were:

1. The flare hit a child (from further descriptions possibly a 9 year old girl? Who from another comment threw up because of the smoke that she inhaled). 
2. The Chelsea fan who threw the flare away from the child was "nicked."
3. The male toilet was clogged up with smoke
4. A contrasting story, it hit a woman and burnt her coat. Her son was coughing a lot

Where did you hear of this?

This is the photo that was doing the round yesterday on twitter. Frankly I think it’s disgusting that this hasn’t been picked up by the media. 

God forbid Liverpool fans could ever do anything wrong. The darlings of English football with their fantastic atmosphere, singing of hymns before games and perfect behavior at all times. We'll probably see the headline 'Racist Chelsea fans light red flair at Anfield in disgusting attempt to tarnish Liverpool FC's reputation. No doubt Klopp will be doing a Sky Sports interviewing discussing how disgusted he is in his fans throwing flairs at Chelsea fans, Salah diving in the box AGAIN and Fabinho blowing his nose at our injured player. 

If there's one club i wish would liquidate, it'd be there horrible c**ts.

Daily Mail running with the story now:

Really despicable, but then most fans who have been in their away end won't be too surprised. It is pretty common practice for them to throw stuff down on the travelling fans. Liverpool need to apologize publicly for this, and identify/ban the fans who did it.

The DM has a picture of a special needs child, 9. Let's hope other media outlets pick this up to give Liverpool some bad publicity.

Not sure it will happen yet at least one tabloid has revealed it.

Just read this.. 

The idiot on twitter saying "Chelsea fans threw coins in response to the flare being thrown". Key words being "in response to".

Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing. 

Back in the 80's projectiles were quite common if you were in the away end, and could be quite dangerous, but that was a different era. There is no excuse for this behavior and it should be easy to identify and ban those responsible. However this happens a lot to away fans at Liverpool, with the away fans below the home fans. I know United fans are regularly showered with cups of various bodily fluids for example. Liverpool should be forced to keep the area above the away fans clear. That would stop it once and for all.

Maybe a points deduction for Liverpool? Wouldn't that be good.

Absolutely disgraceful what they did.

LOL. That would be funny but lets remember this is Liverpool. We will probably get a ban, and not them.

The truth is every club will have their set of idiot fans.

Just unfortunate it happened to land on a child, even though they shouldn’t have thrown it at all. Hopefully we will see Liverpool punish the culpable fans.

The media love to go on about "Chelsea being a racist club" but they rarely ever point out just how often Liverpool fans cause trouble. It happens very often, especially during big games.

We certainly do get picked up on it more than any other club, but that’s probably because of our history. Everybody else is just as bad as us nowadays.

We have always been given more attention from the press in this regard. Yes we certainly had a reputation for behavior off the field back in the 70's/80's but so did many other clubs that never got the same attention, and that includes Liverpool. The lack of reporting in their regard contributed towards total astonishment and denial when they were eventually involved in one of the worst incidents at Heysel. At the time their club even dared to try and blame it on Chelsea fans, as how could their angelic fans possibly be involved in such terrible events? But any match going fans who had visited Anfield knew better.

On the FV front, they were never able to take on our firm, so instead picked off stragglers mob handed, who more often than not were straight goers.

Sneaky, horrible lot. I always thought that Robbie Fowler when he first emerged looked like your typical scally, bad skin and all. Could always imagine him in the well of your motor trying to prize the stereo out.

"FA finds after investigation that racist Chelsea supporters throw flare into Chelsea away end. The FA found that Chelsea supporters dressed up as Liverpool supporters. Even singing all their songs all match long in order to throw a flare to make darlings Liverpool look bad. The FA has awarded Liverpool all of Chelsea's points and trophies since 1993." 

Sent the link to my boss who’s a Liverpool fan who then conveniently started posting article after article from our non-existent history. Until I reminded him what anniversary is today...

Not seen anything at all from the club. Funny how they released a club statement on the Salah chant within hours of it surfacing though.

not sure if this bit of news will help matters, but we shall see

That sort of reporting is exactly what you would expect from the media, not a single mention that it was a Liverpool fan who threw it. 2 mentions of where it came from (upper tier & top tier) and a "At this stage it's not clear who threw the flare." If that was at the Bridge it would be framed as "Chelsea fans throw flare at Liverpool fans" and that would be the headline or they'd mentioned the injured child, it definitely would not be "Police look at Anfield flare incident" ffs.

i can not believe that player has got away with the snotting incident, disgusting, if that had been a chelsea player do that ...

What makes it worse Liverpool haven’t even condemned it.

That's actually the reason why our issues get reported so much. Because our club responds immediately.

Without our club being so fast to respond and take action the media wouldn't have much of a story and wouldn't have the confidence to report on it without a backlash from us. 

Edited April 16, 20197 yr by bisright1

It's mad that in the world we currently live in, a few drunken morons singing a song in a pub is considered a bigger crime that throwing a flare and injuring a 9 year old child.

Actually let that sink in.

It's crazy times....
