In yesterday's clip, Adam lists all the things that you cannot do in Liverpool, including wearing white socks?! Check it out if you haven't seen it! 🇳🇺
Dublin is the same ' love our white socks 😅
Scousers hate Adam Rowe what the fuck r ye doing having him on, Literally only popular because of the management company
Love this podcast, so entertaining. Will you ever think about posting the whole podcast on youtube? might be just me but i love watching the podcast as a video )
Wouldn’t pick another Liverpool player for England. I always thought that Gerrard and Carragher never cared especially Carragher. This cry baby mentality is so boring. Everywhere scousers travel they act like animals yet cry when things go wrong. You always hear about Hillsborough but what about the Heysel Stadium disaster?? Why do they not like talking about that?? Hypocrites!! England till I die 🏴🏴🏴
kzhead.infopaKm2fFfVE0?feature=share Classy Liverpool fans!! Throwing an old man in a fountain then being racist. Always the victim!!
As a Glaswegian, I 100% agree with every word he said. Scouse, Geordies and Glaswegians all think very similarly because we have all been messed around by central government for generations
100% agree im from far north in scotland but couldn't agree more fella
Yh why would u support England
Same here in Wales
Fuck the poll tax!
England is for Londoners
A lot of people on here proving his point by mocking the 97… Ask yourself this, would you stand with someone who openly mocked the death of your family/friends?
Unfortunately mate people in this country have made there bed with it and are willing accept these disgusting shouts as "banter" when in reality it's nothing but abuse. Most liverpool fans don't want to engage in that type of abusive banter anymore, hence why we would like it too stop, not hard too understand but the rest of the country don't care.
Liverpool fans were happy to mock Munich for decades
Liverpool fans are still ok with mocking Munich so why would we care what happened to them?

I 100% agree with every word this guy says as a scouser myself plus let’s not forget when they said we would have to sell the sun newspaper if we wanted to host England games at Anfield or Goodison so we just declined to host any games
Was we would have to allow their journalists into the ground when England games where on. It was either let them in when England games are on, or dont host england games. Anfield no longer hosts england games
Visited Liverpool last year from Glasgow. Wow, what an absolutely magical city, the people are amazing, the music is astounding and it just a great vibe. Can't wait to visit again honestly.
These comments make me so happy ❤️

i've always wanted to visit liverpool im scottish too
I completely got Adam's point about the cultural link between Glasgow, Newcastle and Liverpool. As a Glasweigan, I feel a lot of similarities to Geordies and Scousers whenever I visit.
@@BG-ef8sk not much different to here in london then is it?
Scouse born and bred 58 years ago, I support Liverpool and England and I will wear my England shirt with pride, fuck all that old bollocks, I'm Scouse,English and proud
Good one Tony lad
Don't understand this thought process at all. Since when did the England team represent the government? I'm a Leeds fan, from a part of the world hit heavy by Thatcher's policies but I still support my fellow countrymen. It's not like the England team has Boris Johnson as a CF chanting anti-Liverpool sentiment! Also you say you don't feel respected by other English clubs that come to Anfield and chant nasty things, but that's football mate! We hear "We all hate Leeds scum" on a bi-weekly basis but you don't take it to heart. Do you also not support English athletes in the Olympics? Are they Thatcherites and hardline Tories because they choose to represent their country and work hard to get a gold medal? I think you'll find most athletes (footballers included) care very little for politics.
Me too, I'm from nottingham and they still hate her around that area. Shit comment by scousers on here regarding Glasgow, Newcastle being similar in thoughts... rubbish, half of Glasgow are proud Brits the other half are the same as scousers wishing they were Irish. Newcastle and the North East have and always have had massive representation in our Armed forces, so again proud Brits. Just because you want to be known from the area your from doesn't mean you turn away from your country. Lastly England's greatest goalscorer Rooney , doesn't he have a England flag tattoo
There is no thought process to understand. It’s the typical scouser who thinks they’re special or different.
yeah, its a load of ****. Proud geordie & proud englishman. if they dont like england then they can F off somewhere else
i was born in south wales, but moved to liverpool aged 4. lived in liverpool till 1978, so went to school and worked in the area. supported lfc all my life,moved to north wales because my job was moving thanks to maggie thatcher. happy to be a welsh man, but glad to have been educated in liverpool.and by educated ,i mean in the school of life.
I’m a Londoner, Irish background. One of my Irish grandads served in the navy and both my Irish nans loved the queen. Not anti British at all. It’s been passed down to us. I get the Scouse thing, I get why they don’t feel British. It’s a shame how they were treated in the past because it’s an amazing city with amazing people.
I’m nearly seventy, born in Bootle and spent a lot of my working life in the armed forces. Grandad was Irish. I live in Midlands. So many people I meet here go to Liverpool at weekends and absolutely love the place. The people. The humour. Sure Scousers hate the Tories but to see some of these programmes outsiders would believe we were a humourless bunch who disliked anyone who wasn’t a Scouser. We are very much like Geordies. They hate the Tories but, as far as I know, they don’t view themselves as Geordie not English. Not too sure how many Scousers feel that way anyway. But I don’t live there anymore
Imagine hating the only thing that will get you out of squalor. Literally hanging with a load of Labour trolls under a bridge wondering why your life is so shit, and you haven't got any money 😅😅😅😅 I come from a heavy Labour area, I would still be there dragging my knuckles watching kid burn swastikas into the parks grass with petrol. 😂
its also a heritage thing, a huge amount of people in Liverpool have descended from the Irish and the things England has done to Ireland historically is nothing short of horrific
100% mate, I'm from Dublin and support Man United but know a few scousers who see themselves more Irish because of their Grandparents etc
Yeah the Irish never blew eachother up over a made up book ever did they? 😂

Londoner here, let me say I can’t stand it when people from other parts of the country bad mouth scousers when they have never been to Liverpool and have no interest in ever going, it’s just pure classism and bigotry. From the few times that I’ve been I’ll honestly say it’s my favourite city in the UK outside of London. So much real working class history, culture and most importantly great people who are unapologetic in their values and love for their city. Much love and respect to scousers, hope to visit again soon. YNWA!

I'm like that supporting Torquay you support the area you are from more than the national team more times than not
Will never understand the club over country thing, it just kinda shows that you’ve never left your own town if you feel that strongly about it. I love Newcastle with all my heart but I love England more as it’s full of awesome people that created this awesome world we now live in
I'm Scouse but honestly mate, the whole "managed decline" thing was an idea brought up in Cabinet by a random minister and Thatcher shot it down. I hate the witch, but she thought it was absolutely disgusting to even consider winding down the second city of the Empire. She then sent Heseltine to the city with a brief to regenerate it (and he did a decent job).
Most areas didn’t get a managed decline…
Heseltines family had business interests in Liverpool they all lived on the wirral
💯👏
Ofc she’s going to shoot that down, it’s within her own interest to disassociate from that sorta stuff publicly, but it happened, and it happened to so many northern towns and cities who similarly were labour supporting. That lack of funding post industry in places like Liverpool and Grimsby (were I’m from) is so clear. After our fishing docks were shut down my town went from having the biggest fishing docks in Europe with thriving industry to a genuine shithole after thousands were left jobless and its still like that too this day with absolutely no funding from the government and no opportunities for the people here. The only town of note where it didn’t happen that u van think of in the north would be Salford with all the media city stuff and the bbc. You can say that she publicly shut it down but it 100% happened behind closed doors
@@joeutm212 This was a private statement that only came to light once the Cabinet minutes were released after a 30 year embargo... Try doing a bit more research in future.
This is so informative i had no idea about Margret thatcher thing or how Liverpool feels about england
You didn’t know the Thatcher thing cos it’s total bollocks
That was very well put, really enjoyed that
Couldn’t have put it across any better, nail on the head. 👌🏼
I’m a West Ham fan and agree 100%. When the tournaments on I want England to win, but when there out the next day I’m over it. It’s time to look forward to the club football season
There’s another issue a lot of people aren’t aware of. During the 1966 World Cup, England were due to play their semi final at goodison park and a lot of locals were excited to attend and see the england team. They decided to change it so they would play at Wembley instead. Since then, a lot of older scousers just can’t be arsed with supporting england, issues like hillsborough and thatcher or at least the false perception the rest of england have of them “not being as bad as we make out” just made it worse.
But Hillsborough was also caused by scousers how the fuck can you be ignorant of blame when it was scousers that surged through the gates
Yes but more to do with how we’ve been treated. But let’s honest, look at the woman’s euros win. It’s only celebrated in the capital. We don’t follow England as Liverpool is our love and our only love. City and club.
hillsborough was scousers fault
oh boo hoo
Professional victims
I think I’m the same with Adam on this. National team only matters when they win. Soon as it’s done I couldn’t give a shit…
As a mancunian I relate to a lot of this. Despite the obvious problems between our two cities I've always seen us as two sides of the same coin, like two brothers who don't get on.

@@joshg2603 the "brothers" comment was just a metaphor for having undeniable similarities despite obvious differences, I don't like Liverpool but I can't deny that there are a lot of historic, political and cultural similarities between the two cities. Also, emphasis on the not getting on part
@@danpalmer8235 I was only messing my friend haha. I understand what you mean. We may not like each other, but our cities in the governments eyes are similar. I’d rather you be a Manc. Than a Tory.
The government analysis is spot on, very well articulated
Bit of a strawman lol
What does the Government have to do with the England team though? It doesn't represent them at all, the team is for the people and has nothing to do with the Government. Who knows what the Government was in 66?
@@johnlock4966 like Adam said, constant abuse towards scousers with chants every week from every team. Makes scousers not want to join forces with those other fans to support England
@@AtLiveGaming but every team does that? I support Leeds, probably the most hated team in the country. We have fans coming and chanting about Galatasaray, bringing Turkey flags but I still support their players for England. The whole point is as soon as the England shirt is on club rivalry is set aside
@@AtLiveGaming maybe it's something that I can't fully understand as I've not lived/personally experienced the vilification of Liverpool fans through the papers, I am genuinely asking to try see the point of view properly
He was spot on about politics. England will always vote Tory, whether it's blue or Tory lite red. The amount of people who go out and vote against their own interests then moan about the results in England is depressing.
Surely if your voting for something that keeps losing, maybe everyone else isnt wrong but you are.....

Live in the north west but not Liverpool. Completely agree with every word here, well put.
Moved to Liverpool from oxford to go to uni, the people are way less up their own ass and privileged. Much more humble but also immensely proud of who they are
Yeah a bit too proud
Being from Liverpool, I can completely understand why he’s saying this and where it comes from. I do have a slight reservation though. When we say that we don’t feel English, that doesn’t mean that we don’t like or don’t get along with people on an individual level from all over the country. If we get along, we’re probably going to be friends for life. It’s that simple. We just don’t feel part of England as a country. For me personally, I’m northern at best, and I definitely don’t want us to alienate ourselves from the north as a whole. I resonate with my own people and I resonate with other northerners and the north as an identity and the experiences that all of us have gone through when it comes to the divide with the south, particularly Westminster. But when people say continuously that they don’t like scousers, we’re this and we’re that, we’re robbers and scumbags, what do you think is going to happen? How do you think we’re going to respond? And if that’s the case, find me another impoverished city in the world where people didn’t steal to make money or to survive. Would you rather we starved quietly in a corner? We were left to rot. The only reason our city centre looks the way it does now is because of the funding we received for being the capital of culture. It wasn’t Tory money, it wasn’t even Labour money. And we know for a fact that Liverpool wouldn’t have had a chance if it weren’t for that. And then everyone wants to scratch their heads on why scousers, why northerners in general, feel a certain way towards their own country. It actually baffles me when people say we act like victims whilst conveniently forgetting the slander we get, whether it’s our class, our accents, our history, our political history. It’s full on mass gaslighting.
@Lee Join your local college - they’ll have great English courses for you. Good luck.
@Lee 😂
I agree with 99% with what you have written except that our city looks so good now because of capital of culture. It looks so good because we were granted grade 1 status by the EU and that resulted in massive regeneration which, in turn helped our capital of culture bid. You are right about it not being funded by central Government though - AS IF.
Well articulated and I fully agree. One of the strange irony’s of leaving the EU is Liverpool’s docks may well re-open. The decline of our port coincided with the UK’s integration with the EU. The city has always had it’s back to the country but facing the world, while Liverpool voted to remain; a consequence of leaving is we might see a renaissance of trade once again.
@@jackfoulkes2047 Liverpool was the Second City of the Empire, then when the nation went into decline and became all about globalism and socialism, Liverpool was just the biggest bit of muck on the shovel to sling off first. The way things have gone, Liverpool has become utterly politically captured by Labour and left-wing fantasists, I detest the principle of "managed decline" as tantamount to treason, but at this point, the rhetoric behind Thatcher's often overlooked unquestionable dark side ideas, have become a self profiling prophesy. In the same way it was inexcusable to purposely destroy Liverpool as a city for purely political and ideological reasons, it's inexcusable the pure hysterics and to the embarrassing degree that Liverpool has become politically a rabid left-wing dead-end. Actually creating our own party, The Scouse Party, isn't a bad idea, yes it'll never win, obviously it'll only get elected in Liverpool, but isn't that the point of democracy? Represent those who vote for you, get rid of Labour and Conservatives, actually let people be represented, and allow some free, not so, common sense trickle down the whole country, and let the real share values and beliefs of the UK shine through. Democracies are supposed to be run by the people, not politicians.
Brilliantly presented argument.

The English establishment is reviled, not the country.
Born and bred scouser and I've never agreed with this attitude. I think it's insular, and pretending we are somehow seperate does nothing for the city. Generations of politicians have come through the city pushing the idea of 'Scouse, not English' and you know what it's never done any good for any one. In fact they've done a lot of damage to the city while beating this drum. Anti-tory and harking on about the 80s doesn't make an iota of difference to the lives of people in this city, who've endured decades of corruption and mismanagement. Liverpool needs to be outward looking and not navel-gaze or allow the past to dictate its future. The 1980s were over 30 years ago, I was there, I remember it and I refuse to have a chip on my shoulder over it. With respect many people you hear bang on about it weren't even alive at the time. Generations of inherited grievance won't make the city any richer, any safer, any better than it is, it's just the same old, same old. But hey, scouse, not English, so everything's absolutely sound now.
Smart man.
Lad ye smashing it for the scousers keep it up big man
sharp and on point.
I always knew it was obnoxious but I didn't realise it was pathetic as well
🤣🤣🤣 Agree
One more reasons why England would never win a World Cup again, because the people are not behind the English Team, they prefer their local Clubs, something you would never see in other countries like Brazil and others.
Feel like scousers take themselves way too seriously.

I have a very similar way of supporting the England team as he does when Wales aren't in the competition to begin with. My grandad is from Liverpool {Everton to be exact} and so I grew up supporting the Liverpool players that were in the national team, because I've been cheering them all year, for years they were the closest thing to my team I had. But the moment they get knocked out it's back to having banter with my mates cause they thought it was coming home.
We feel how we feel for different reasons but being from Brighton, I totally get the idea of not being part of the mainstream state. Especially since we're smack bang in the middle of the Tory south east. We feel like an alien city and totally different from everywhere around us. It's probably also why my two favourite British cities, aside from Brighton, are Liverpool and Newcastle.
Don’t worry Stuart there’s PLENTY of sensible patriotic lads in Brighton to even it out
Is Brighton considered to be a South Eastern working-class equivalent to Liverpool? I'm not from there so I'm just curious about your comment.
@@thisguy976 no 😂 don’t know what this div is on about
Big difference though with Brighton's divide from Tory conservatism being rooted in middle class green/queer politics. I
Brighton is nothing like Liverpool and Newcastle. Liverpool is a working class city and club. Brighton is middle class liberals who are more social activist than old school left wing.
I remember when 26 year old raheem sterling started fighting 21 year old joe gomez due to an on field incident a few weeks before the international break, sterling left a massive scratch just under gomez’s eye and gareth admitted that sterling was in the wrong and England fans booed gomez when he was subbed on 🤦♂️
Agree with all that apart from the thing about opposition fans singing "anti-Scouse songs". EVERY club has songs against them and their city and still "join forces" with each other. London clubs get mocked for council flats, Norwich get mocked for "being inbred", non-famous places get called shitholes.
Trust me I’m from Birmingham we could say the same thing and that we get “anti brummy” songs but it’s not it’s just football banter
As an Everton fan I think it’s particularly bad against Liverpool. Archaic “feed the scousers” chants further divide liverpoodlians and the rest of the country because it’s a Tory chant mocking poverty. We don’t do that here. Also there are fans who sing a lot about hillsborough which just isn’t acceptable or banter even.
@@EFCkingTom Spot on, was going to say exactly the same. Well spirited football banter is understandable, but when opposition fans mock a tragedy it's completely unacceptable. Happens almost every week nowadays with no action taken.
@@user-fd6rf8ht4u Let's not forget the Munich songs that many Liverpool fans sing, there are a minority of horrific fans in all teams.
There’s a line. Joke about Gerrard and Demba Ba all you want however do not sing and joke about being a murderer, victim or sing about how poor they are to get one up on them and then expect them to be all friends in the summer just for the tournament to be over and go back to singing about the same thing👍🏼
Why do they act like the tories didnt shaft the entire north???? Strange
Tbf I agree with his first point. When we lost to Italy a few months ago I was so sad for about a day but then that was it. But when my team loses I’m fuming all week man😂 not that my team loses much tbf
People from all sorts of places in England have been dumped on by central government but they’re not all as self important as Liverpool
Oh shut up I could list shit the government had done to the scouse and Hillsborough is all I have to say to prove how fucked over the people of Liverpool were imagine ur family and friends dying and u being blamed for it by the ones who caused it.

Really well put and his views on Corbyn/Labour absolutely spot on. Liverpool by far and away my favourite city in the UK too - the solidarity of the people there could teach other cities a thing or two.
And yet not a peep when us health care workers got sacked in Nov .....They're just a gang of brainwashed useful idiots who would happily see this city destoryed before admiting their own short sightedness
Leeds and Yorkshire has the same solidarity only our identity isn't based on victimhood
Even a year on, this Maine, USA Liverpool supporter is very appreciative of this info. It makes me love Liverpool and the Scousers even more. It reminds of Boston when they say "its the biggest town" because its also referred to as "the town"
Don't be pulled in. They are a bunch of idiots
Apart from its not true.
Wow loved the way this man spoke about Liverpool, I’m an immigrant kid from Lithuania and been supporting Liverpool since I pretty much moved to the UK, now I know why It made sense for me to love this club and city they are rebellious just like me, we do not lie down and take bullshit and especially I know what it’s like to be fucked over by a corrupt government, look at Lithuania’s history, bunch of corruption and shady (to say the least) politicians fucking over the hard working people. 👏🏼

I'm originally from Cambridge, live in London and I'm really grateful to hear such a good explanation of what that's all about.

If I had I would have assumed it was about pride in Liverpool (which maybe it is too,) rather than a rejection of the English/British establishment. Thanks
Icl i was in Liverpool the other day, 20mins from anfield and the place my parents parked the car there was England flags on a house next to us
Oh look Liverpool thinking that they were the only Northern City screwed over by London
Did any other northern city have a “Managed Decline” dossier from the Tory government as well did they have lies on the front pages of the newspapers calling them out during Hillsboro as well I musta missed that
Towns get way more screwed over by London Manchester and Liverpool are pretty good places compared to Many Towns Well I say good but not really they have a lot of crime but they have a lot of money
Who said that? It's just that we stand up for ourselves whilst others complain but do nothing. Worse still, do nothing then defend the establishment that screwed them over just because the Scousers have the temerity to turn their backs on said establishment.
Completely understand the resentment from the political point of view, however I cannot see the relation that the England team has to the government.
teams like west ham and spurs have a lot of hate but still are willing to support england in international tournaments
Well said brother UTR
Scotland loves Liverpool 🏴❤️
I feel like the supporting England thing is the same for a lot of people. I’ve felt nothing towards the national team up until recently with the euros.
As a Newcastle fan (obviously we’re known for being passionate), I feel the same and I back Newcastle players at tournaments way more than England. The way scousers try to justify it though instead of just openly saying they don’t give a fuck about the national team, and playing the victim, is what makes people hate them. Just happy we shut those Scouse mackems up
@@yodudeHQ yeah fair point. I agree as a spurs fan I just mostly root for Kane to score 🤣
Not at all, I’ve always supported them at tournaments but I’ve never felt any passion towards the team up until the last couple.
I never hear anyone slagging off scousers where I live …however i do hear scousers whining all the time … usually about stuff that happened years ago and is no longer relevant
I'm Nottingham born and bred, I'm 59 and have visited most, but not all, parts of mainland UK but have never visited Liverpool, the closest I've got is Southport. I really must get round to visiting the city ofLiverpool as it seems to have a lot to offer the visitor.
I'd sacrifice Manchester United winning cups for the next 10 years if it meant England would win a World Cup or Euros. I'd take England winning a corner (leading to a crucial goal) than Manchester United winning a trophy that season. I want Man Utd to do well, but England is so much more important and always will be.
completely opposite to me, I really want England to do well but id much rather Manchester United won the champions league or premier league than the world cup or euros, idk why probably cus I'm so attached to united and for me it would feel more special. However if England won world cup I would love it because everybody in this country would be celebrating and it would be a great vibe around the place.
@@utdspiritf1virk758 that's totally fair mate! I get that completely. I was like that as a kid with wanting Man Utd to win everything over England for the same reasons you've mentioned, but as I've got older I've seen all the England disappointment so often and I've just become desperate for them to win something - anything! They should have buried Italy in the final and this angers me even now. Southgate is a great spokesman, but his lack of tactical nous and negative approach really thwarted England against a poor Croatia in 2018 and an Italy team 0-1 down at Wembley with England dominating. It's just exhausting and I want them to finally win something lol
As a Liverpool fan who is not from Liverpool I support England but I have the same emotion when they go out like its doesn't annoy me unlike Liverpool I still personally am pissed off that Gerrards last game was 6-1 Stoke despite it almost being 7 years ago
As a wool, this is absolute facts
As a Manc it’s very interesting to hear this
Would love to know what Scousers think of Liverpool players, in particular Scouse Liverpool players playing for England.
Liverpool fans always back their players when they play for England, whole fanbase was fuming when trent was dropped back in 2020
It’s a case of wish them well, hope they succeed but please please please don’t come back injured
Good luck to them
Its wierd, wish theyd all do a carra.
Im made up when someone like Kyle walker plays ahead of Trent Alexander Arnold because Taa won't be tired or won't get injured
Love the scousers, great city and great people however… Jesus Christ do you guys love to think that you are only ones in the country that bad stuff has happened too. Thatcher devastated the whole of the north not just you, in fact a lot of places ended way worse than Liverpool, then you go on about anti scouse songs. Literally every city/football team has mean songs about them, you don’t see people from Norwich saying they ain’t English even though the rest of the country calls them inbred. I think that is what annoys most people from outside Liverpool.
Exactly, Liverpool was not the only place Thatcher tried to destroy... She did it all over the country
He's speaking about Liverpool. Not the north. He's giving his own opinion
Exactly, so why aren’t other areas taking action themselves?
When we Scousers talk about the stuff that Thatcher did to our city, never are we claiming we're the only ones it happened to or invalidating other northern cities' terrible time in that period. I mean, are we the only city who have letter proving it was all deliberate? As far as I know, yes. Obviously we've also had Hillsborough, and Liverpool with its strong Irish and Welsh identies has even less reason to like London and Westminster. Now, does that mean we think we're the only ones the government fucked when we complain about it? No. If Geordies want to fly banners saying Geordie not English I think all you'd hear is applause on Merseyside. In fact, I think any Northern city that got fucked by Thatcher will find more sympathy in Liverpool than in almost any other city, because we get it. We went through the same. Now, you as a city can react to the historical oppression however you want. If you want to forgive and move on and try to strengthen the Union, that's fine by us. You wanna voice your pain, help the government understand the extent of what it did? You do it, and we'll be right here next to you with raised fists. Just because we complain about what happened to us doesn't mean we don't know, understand or discredit what happened to other cities and peoples. Criticising Scousers for bringing up our pained past is textbook whataboutism, and there's simply no need.
@@dandasolo Fair play. I cant disagree with the reply, all i can say is fooook the tories.
Idea for next video: "Why People from England Hate Scousers"
I went to Stoke-on-Trent and a man commented on my Geordie accent. He said to me "You're from Scotland right?" I responded "I'm from Newcastle." He then said "Yes. Newcastle, Scotland." Guys Hadrian's Wall has been rebuilt.
I'm now a Scottish patriot. Saor Alba 😂
@@weeradge5771 good, useless city
@@joshmaunsell1079 Yeah, I must admit Stoke-on-Trent was the most useless city I ever visited.
im from newcastle and do not feel scottish at all. its an english city.
@@JohnDoe-wi1oy Aye, good for you. But if you actually read what I wrote you'd realise that I wasn't claiming Geordies as being Scottish or anything like that in this comment. I was telling a story where someone in Stoke thought my accent was Scottish, not that I claimed Newcastle was Scottish. Read next time before splurging random opinions that don't pertain to the actual thing that was being wrote. It just makes you look out of place and a bit stupid.
I'm a big fan of the city of Liverpool. I'm not a scouser, but my Father is and his ancestors as far as we can go back. I'm 61 and have visited the city often since being a baby and spending a lot of holidays at my Grandma's. I still have family there. What happened over Hillsborough was horrendous and I wept for those people who lost their lives and their friends and families. I get why Scousers hate South Yorkshire Police, the press who misreported the tragedy, and even the government. It must be pointed out that John Williams of the Liverpool Daily Post also reported that Liverpool fans were to blame though. However, since Hillsborough and since Margaret Thatcher, the City has received millions of pounds worth of government investment particularly during it's year as City of Culture. I think the city is massively improved. Scousers may or may not agree. I speak as a visitor with a great affection for the City. It has attracted many more visitors than it ever did before the investment, albeit if has always been an important and wonderful city. What I don't understand is why Liverpool fans wouldn't support the England team, which is neither a London team or politically affiliated (even if the capital represented the government, which it doesn't). Neither do I understand why the fans boo the national anthem which is not a political anthem. I find it sad, that's all.
With respect despite your affection for Liverpool you won’t understand because you’re not from the city.
You're spot on. I don't.
2:50 Outstanding opinion on London biases regarding national teams celebrating. More to nation than London.
as a scouser I agree and so happy that the message is spreading, gwon lads 👍
Makes me laugh when Scousers, Geordies and Scots bang on about being ignored by that state and all that. That’s been the whole of Wales for, well forever.
You should do something about it then! We all should! Liverpool has been so politically complacent and idle despite the way we’ve been treated. Literally we just vote Labour and hope for the best even though they’re a bunch of shysters as well. I don’t see how Welsh nationalism hasn’t taken off as much as Scottish nationalism has given the Welsh have historically (and contemporarily) been treated much worse (and Liverpool have played a role in that, i.e Capel Celyn) If Liverpool had any background as its own nation I’d want to break away so hard we’d become an island hahahah. The union is fucked whatever happens and its well deserved.
So you can't complain about being treated unfairly because someone else is also being treated unfairly? Gotcha
And....you support whoever England is playing. What's your point?
The government could not care less about Newcastle
Always the Victims it's never your fault.
Yep totally agree with Adam.
That's why a support Liverpool FC as a Glasweshian, love ye scousers YNWA
You know what his loss the pure passion I’ve got off England in the last few years has been immense I can’t imagine not going through a tournament biting my nails and screaming everytime we scored. Plus most of us support English players not the greeding ppl
Well said my friend
what’s ur point fella
He’s got pure passion for Liverpool and theyve actually won tournaments and had much more success to celebrate so what’s your point
Literally zero passion here for international footy lad. Got that passion from seeing yous lose quite frankly and that’s always a given. And you know Jurgen Klopp.
He supports Liverpool. He's watching his team compete and sometimes win in the Champions League and compete for the Prem and stuff, how could he possibly get the same buzz watching England inevitably crash out of a tournament after watching then grind out 1-0 wins and moody corners for a tournament? The Liverpool fans I know do watch England but they'd rather it wasn't on because they're worried about their players getting injured in a tournament they will never win and its the same with the United, Chelsea and City fans I know
At the end of the day tho, as much as he wants to deny it, he is English 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Olivia55000 but you ain’t so deal with it, you’re English ya freak
@@Olivia55000 you are english
My grandparents are Irish my great grandmother was black. This is typical of someone from Liverpool.
You can tell you are a goon. Just because you’re something or born somewhere, doesn’t mean you have to REPRESENT it. We represent Liverpool and Liverpool only. Scouse not English
Missed the point completely
Completely agree 👍🏻
I think most would choose club over country.. there is also a disconnect if your team isn’t in the premiershit. You don’t care as much about the players. I always want England to win but I care more about my club because that’s daily life , internationals are now and again.
The premier what? So the league you watch is better is it? Behave yourself.
"It's for everyone, not just a few people"....unless you're from anywhere but Liverpool....
Yeah we hate England so much that Gerrard and Rooney captained them, and Rooney even got a st George tattoo. The were not English were Scouse brigade don't represent all of us.
Well said lad
What are Liverpudlian’s take on StevieG playing for England?
What the hell has supporting the England football team have to do with party politics?? Whatever nationality you are you support your national team no matter what. Your club side is just a choice you make. His explanation just makes Liverpool fans sound a bit pompous and elitish tbh.
its not hard to understand, we dont like england so why would we like the english team?
@@voodoo5845 Wow you’re so different
@@voodoo5845 but you’re English 👀…the parade round London but not Liverpool bears no relevance either really, coz we could say the same about every other town and city in the country that wouldn’t get a parade if England won. I understand the dispute with the government and politics, and I’m all for it…but still don’t understand the point haha
@@joshlane174 yes we are English but we don't identify with the country in the slightest 90 percent of people in Liverpool would rather not be English, I agree with the parade thing though I don't know why that was brought up
@@voodoo5845 How can you not like the England team....when you're English. Just sounds pretentious and trying to make yourselves appear different. "Oo look at me, I'm a rebel" attitude.
I don’t get it. All of my Grandparents are Irish and suffered a lot of abuse in this country for just coming to make a better life for their children. They wanted to integrate into the country and have English kids who were proud of their Irish heritage. To call myself a proud Englishman is a testament to everything they have done for me. I love England it’s where I was born and bred
Good lad
Yeah dude in the video is talking bollocks.
Grow up Liverpool. Go to any other city in England with a scouse accent. You will understand. In the 80s our “own” government tried to snake us out. We feel more Irish and Scottish than English. Everyone in England are happy to be opening anti scouse and say they hate scouser. But cry when Liverpool want nothing to do with them. Quite ironic…
@@joshg2603 I am scouser nearly all my ancestry is Irish. What I don't like is other people in England don't want you to be proud of her heritage especially when it's Irish. Tyson fury, the smith's oasis, dusty Springfield and many more all fully Irish. Irish don't get enough recognition for what they have contributed to England
My great grandparents were from Ireland. I consider my English and not at all Irish. I’m from The Wirral not Liverpool so I’m not a scouser. I do find scousers who are too proud of being scousers to be very tedious but most people on Merseyside are nice.
I’m lucky, I live in a little market town on the edge of Liverpool called Kirkby😊
Outstanding
Here we go to comments section where the real wools hang out 😄😄
I'm welsh and it seems like being scouse is very similar to being welsh lol
Yeah it’s the same with us Geordies too
Very interesting. My man sounds like we do in Scotland.
When I was born here in 1963 it was a place where most people I knew where of Irish catholic origin.my dad was Irish, not catholic.lucky boy I was,they educated me.PEACE.
their not gonna come to birmingham on the parade bud but i still support england 🤣🤣
I lived in Huyton for a year back in 2011. I've never felt more at home in another city than I did when I lived there. The scousers are great people, great personalities, great humour and some decent looking woman compared to Glaswegian woman lol.
What colour was your bin mate? Hahaha
@@somelad3756 I can't remember, doubt it was purple though lol
@@RangersMan1872 Haha your right there , thought what you said was Good too Guessing your from Glasgow I think Scousers get on more with yourselves the Welsh an Irish than they do the English
Huytons the best
Huytons not in Liverpool lol
Well said Adam.
I’m sooo with Adam with this one ❤️
As a scouser I couldn’t agree more with this! Well said lad 👍🏻
