Liverpool apologise after Twitter account mocks Munich air disaster | Football | theguardian.com

 

FFS - it's hardly like they need an excuse to go into 'moral highground' overdrive

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

'have you been looking at the dressing room iPod?'. Not the worst tweet I've ever seen.

[JER]

I know - but to 'Come fly with me'?

If they had tweeted those songs, sure. I'd see the issue.

I've made a post on this on the should we ban united fans from Anfield thread

 

The guy who made the original post suggesting those songs is undoubtedly an utter cunt, I'm hopeful however that the person running the LFC account failed to see the meaning of those songs and was just joking due to their random nature with regards to football (if you didn't realise what it was referenced to).

 

Without doubt this will get more press than the entire away end singing their vile shite on sunday

Exactly. The press will grab any chance to paint the club in a bad light.

Anyone remember the"Bristow" cartoons by Frank Dickens?

Peterson of Public Relations, that's who's running our PR for years

[Manny]

So. This gets reported - a complete non-story I might add - but the United players shitting on us in their post-Moscow celebrations never got a millimetre in the mainstream press.

 

No Yernited bias though, no siree.

[Russ Atmosphere]

This doesn't even make sense.

 

Initial tweet by nobhead sans brain: offensive

Reply tweet: "Have you been sneaking a look at the dressing room iPod?"

 

How is that related to the Munich disaster? Are we to believe the official LFC twitter account people are tweeting that all the players like nothing more to do than gather round and sing offensive songs about a disaster that a fair few of them probably wouldn't be able to tell you a single thing about? Doesn't make sense. Surely it just relates to footballers having bad taste in music. Perhaps I'm wrong. Either way it's nice of the Manchester Guardian to flag this up just before a game where trouble has happened in the past because of disaster-mocking-lobotomised-morons.

[Chris]

very true, but we don't half give them some ammunition.

[Spy Bee]

Sack the moron and move on.

[RobbieOR]

Jimmy Rice who runs the twitter account has changed his own bio on twitter. Looks like he's been whacked.

[Bjornebye]

whose arsed, it's done now. clearly a mistake.

 

let them cry about it. the mancs on twitter spout more bile than one directions whole fanbase so fuck em.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The official forums were hacked yesterday with abig red devil picture the sites still down now.

Man U fans are useful for some things then.

[Newport]

If he was sacked he fucking deserved it for being absolutely woeful at his job. What an idiotic thing to do. Asking for those music choices on Twitter is just asking for trouble, especially this week. Have people mail them in ffs if you have a fucking brain in your head.

Or so the narrative goes. It's only us that get involved in such mindless, disgusting abuse.

Whiter than white, them mancs.

 

Indeed - they even went to the trouble of translating "Build a bonfire" into Spanish on their official site just after Rafa joined. And who can forget the warm appreciation they showed West Brom's black players in the 70s.

[jamespp]

I hope nobody lost their job, it seems to me it just went over their head, I disagree with the club apologising aswell

I think the apology has made a bigger deal of it than it is. Have the mancs apologised to us for all the shite their fans sing about us on a weekly basis? Have they fuck.

[kalasoma]

When I saw that 'playlist', my first thought wasn't: "oh this is about Munich". I just thought they were rubbish song choices.

[BCM]

Another apology from the club, getting quite good at these apologies these days.

Its the "new" winning trophies.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Of course the club were right to apologise. Those songs are all referencing Munich, and if whoever replied to it didn't realise that then they shouldn't be doing the job in the first place.
