What's with booing the Reds at Anfield ?

Granted the lads have hardly been deserving a round of applause lately but whatever happened to "You'll Never Walk Alone". It's the clubs moto, something many of us have been brought up believing in since we were little kids.

Remember Istanbul, pubs were still packed (certainly in Ireland) at 3-0 and full of YNWA being sung and everyone getting behind the team, that's how it should be (we didn't exactly play well that night either).

Moving on to present day and people don't seem to be getting behind the Reds anymore, what a shame ! Genuine title contenders is what I think we should all justifiably expect from Liverpool, given the vast sums of money spent on players and the time Rafa has had to build a complete squad. At the same time we should to continue to support the team through thick and thin.

Yes, we always take the good with the bad. I think there are too many "fans" who like to point fingers every time something does not go according to plan. Guys if you call yourself a true Red, then act like one! Booing our team off? Pathetic!

There is meaning behind lyrics "When you walk through the storm, Hold your head up high... "

The main problem is the type of fans that Anfield attracts these days and the ticket prices.

The majority spend so much to get in and it is a bigger proportion of their disposable income.

These days they feel as though they have the right to boo.

Don't get me wrong, it disgusts me and having spent many years at Anfield can say I never did it.

You have always had the moaners at Anfield. Even when we were winning everything but it seems to be getting worse.

That is why I used to enjoy the away games more. A smaller community gets behind their team and never boos them off.

Though perhaps that has changed these days.
