A modern Liverpool forum, for modern fans
This has me intrigued… To be exact… What is a modern fan.?
Is it the opposite of an old fashioned fan maybe…??
At what age do we change from an old fashioned fan to a modern fan…?
It is unlikely there are any three digit posters on here… Many with double digits that stretch through the decades, maybe within touching distance of hitting the three digit mark… who knows…?
Unlikely to be any single digit posters, although by the childish retorts when the arguments starts to flow, again who knows eh.?
Modern Fan eh… Does it refer to the thousands of phone camera devotees at every game… OR, Tourists that fly in for a single game then fly out again… OR, those with an attention span of a flea that watch the games after the score has been announced and visit Youtube for a 3min condensed version of a 95min game…!
Whoever put this title thread on this board, I for one would very much like to understand what your interpretation of a Modern Fan is, and how they differ from those of us that have followed since the Shankly days…! Thanks in advance
To borrow from Dave Gorman, Modern Fans Are Rubbish.
A modern fan is someone:
who wants ever player sold when we lose.
who thinks signing big name players is better than winning trophies.
who spends more time typing than watching during matches.
who thinks VAR is the panacea to remedy poor decisions
who thinks that tackling is “dark arts”
who never played a lot, but wants heading the ball outlawed. Or heading helmets invented and introduced
who thinks XG should feature in tables
who prefers football on chalkboards than grass and wanks over decoy runs.
who used to think pressing involved a steam iron until they heard it on SKY.
who thinks Gary Neville is “actually ok pundit”
who thinks Campions League is better than European Cup.
who thinks SKY invented football.

After a break of nearly two years (Not at his majesties pleasure I should add) The Baron has returned…. Don’t stand up.
Is being a modern fan mandatory?

A modern fan (LFC persuasion) never had the following experiences.
Seeing the first team playing football tennis in the parking lot outside the main stand. Long before Melwood.
Rushing inside the ground when the Kop gates opened at threequarter time, shinning up the railings separating the Kop from the Paddock, and holding on grimly for 25 minutes to watch the match until the final whistle, arm muscles stretched out of shape.
Sidestepping the rivulets of pee as they cascaded down the steps of the Kop, as the toilets weren’t accessible to spectators loaded up too much with pre-match beers.
The modern fan has experienced the following.
Taking his wife, his partner (or someone else’s), and his kids to sit together in a festive atmosphere in safety while the game plays out.
Cheering with joy as European trophies are held aloft to the crowds.
Watching from thousands of miles distant matches that he/she could never attend in person because they moved a long way from their place of birth.

I thought we’d signed a CB called Discourse for a minute.
