God only knows how the kids younger than us must feel. I am fully aware that to the players, walking out of the ground and seeing hundred of kids is nothing new. Its week in week out for them, and it would be hard to sign for them all [and obviously harder once word got out to say they did] But the odd one or two wouldn’t go a miss, and just a smile and the words "Thanks" every so often?

Some people will probably say "well they can’t please everyone" - and that is a fair point. But I would hope that those players know how much 2 seconds of their time with one kid means to that kid and those who were there. Its hope, it’s even inspiring. Yet, they don’t seem to care.

Maybe the players get that mentality cos they join clubs at ages from 8-12+ and they themselves don’t have the heroes and things we worship cos they don’t get chance?

Its like in years gone by, players used to sign the odd autograph during a warm up, or before or after...now days they don’t even look over. The 1st game I took the Carra flag, we stood in the ground from 7:15 at an 8:00 kick off. I’m a 25 year old lad, and I felt a bit of a t** - but it was important to me, and I though Carra would absolutely love it [cos he doesn’t get too much praise]

I know the club [these days] probably doesn’t allow them to sign etc - but I just wanted a nod, or a smile, anything to say 'thanks, I appreciate that'....but got nothing. It got to the point where one of the lads with me shouted "Oi Jamie.....CARRA!!! get on this" and he just looked over, and looked away. We were gutted.

I still think Carra is head and shoulders above anyone else at LFC or anyone who has been there in recent years....but even he seems very un-arsed about it all. I later found out that he did see it, and was chuffed with it [but at the time I was gutted - and it would only have took a wave or whatever]

I think we just expect too much?

But I just tend to think what I would give to be in their situation, and what I would do if I was there....and although I appreciate over time that the repetitiveness could annoy me - I would still make sure just a small amount of my time was given.

I mean I work 35 hours a week [minimum] for f***in buttons....and every day I take about 60-80 phone calls, most of them are people giving me grief, or who are not arsed that I am trying to help them....yet I know I have to do it - cos I get paid to do it....why the f*** don’t they?

I’m not even gonna cover the ticket distribution at LFC and the lack of promoting the club to local kids…..it just doesn’t exist. They don’t care.

I just dunno what is at the end of this very dark tunnel….football doesn’t seem to exist anymore, it’s now a corporate game where all that matters is money – at every single level.

It’s horrible, it’s sad, and it’s upsetting…..but it’s happening.

Footballs been taken away.

Syntes stadig vi er heldige at det ikke er så vidt i Danmark. Mig bekendt var MJ altid nede og hilse på efter kampen, og spillerne viser deres kærlighed.
Allerede nu er det ved at være lidt problematisk med Viasats monopol, og kontrol overfor alt fodbold i Danmark. Vi må jo bare nyde fodbolden mens vi har den og før den for alvor bliver "taget" fra os...
Skrækscenariet består jo i at det kan være en af os der om 5 år skrive sådan et indlæg her på siden...
