Who knew people on here got so precious about puns when there's so much other shit gets flung around?

Anyway, Macca would be great if for no other reason than to have The Stones and the main remaining Beatle on the same bill.

So you are saying it's ok to make fun about 96 fans who got crushed to death? Or that It's fun to mock those families who have had to contend with the biggest police cover up this country has ever seen?

If thats your idea of fun then what a sick twisted mind you must have

I never mentioned hbro actually, my made up joke was more to do with the republic of Merseyside and its constant quest for justice.

I could talk further about hilsbrough with knowledge and reason but the above notion renders the rational off bounds

I seem to remember we have been here before... It is so very easy to hide behind anonymity, things said may or may not be said with such ignorance and sensitivity but would you say it in the company of people you hardly know? Now we seem to be slinging about one tragedy being the same as another and that possibly the people who died in 89 had something to do with Heysal in some way?

No idea whether it's from The Sun or not as I don't read it

Only if you take it as so. There's a musical act from Merseyside called Justice. There's a musical act from France called Justice. I don't instantly assume things are offensive or take offense on other peoples behalf or....

....choose to descend into the realms of squealing, won't-someone-think-of-the-children hysteria

Indeed it is. We really need some sort of announcement.

They key word there being ingorance, living in Liverpool im fully aware of what has transpired, it has left a lasting affect on the city.

Those who have no connection with Liverpool may find it easy to make a throw away remark, but in future think before you speak because there's people who lost parents, sons, daughters, cousins.

Now ive had my rant as someone said let's lighten up - Macca at Glastonbury? Seen him in Liverpool last year he's still got it, but like Oasis towards the end his concerts are now just one big sing along karaoke. Is that a bad thing? It all depends what you are after I suppose

Although I regret that I may be "carrying this on" somewhat. I have to, and at every level address all forms of oppressive attitudes. I am never surprised at where it comes from, either some people really think in this way or are simply very unintelligent and are not clever enough to have reasonable opinions. I am just as disappointed about the initial " The less scousers the better" as I am at what followed. Its a throw away comment, just as I would expect were the ones that followed. But disappointing all the same.

I know Liverpudlians who have no connection to the tragedy (and who weren't even born) but who still jump on the bandwagon in order to seem important and to give them some identity. Sort of like the cretins who sing about the IRA without any knowledge of the situation or history because they like being in a big masculine group. Are these people not ripe for parody? Or are they forever protected because they choose to latch onto and use a sensitive issue?

    • I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
    • Out of interest keep seeing messages saying last 12 hours etc… to buy you full weekend tickets.  Whats that about? Do they take them off sale early?
    • I reckon it'll be deftones and Biffy clyro 
    • If Friko are replacing The Beths that's a very rare example of a band being replaced by another band who I'm equally eager to see. Great news.
