Was a fair few fans there. Did the other 399 immediately report the one throwing the brick to the gathered police?
not the first time such has happened according to the report

A Liverpool 'fan', you mean. This behaviour isn't representative of Liverpool fans at all so no tarring us all with the same brush, please.

This. There are twattish elements amongst supporters of all football clubs, but they are in the minority.

I get that you hate Liverpool but bring this up today?

I don't hate Liverpool I don't 'hate' any football club, it's just sport (not sure I actually 'hate' anyone or anything except egg mayonnaise )

I was posting a link for a prior comment and you said it was one person, there were according to the police 400 fans there, so I hoped that the rest report said individual. I would have added the same if it had been the Porto bus being attacked by Chelsea fans or if Man United fans attack the Grenada bus later

Yeah. There are plenty of clubs which I dislike, but hate? No. Hate is a strange and unhelpful feeling which gets nobody anywhere IMO.

Cracking 5-2 win for Albion Rovers today at Elgin City.

Survival almost guaranteed for another year.

Quite how they will fair when all the loan players go back to parent clubs is another matter.

This is something that would completely end football attendance for me. Once the Americans get ideas even discussed, it's time to re-evaluate what it is that compels you to go and watch it. This would end it completely for me. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/index.html

Great result for the famous this afternoon.

I'd just copied a link from the Guardian to post the same story. I feel exactly the same as you (And nearly all genuine fans) that it is a horrible idea.

If it does happen, I hope the EPL and the EFL tell the departing clubs, "Off you go then, but if it doesn't work and you want to come back you'll have to start in a Sunday league and work your way up".

The famous Glasgow Rangers, as the song goes. Just as we think it can't get better, along comes a day like this.

Gary Neville may not be everyone's favourite but he's certainly done his reputation no harm at all by coming out early on in his condemnation of this suicidal idea.

FIFA and UEFA appear to be saying that players will no longer be eligible for other competitions. So no World Cups for any of the players. And those 12 clubs will make up the bulk of most national teams.
It’s interesting that German and French teams haven’t signed up.

Personally, I have long since lost interest in top flight football. Now, I prefer to go and watch local league teams. It's not football at a superhuman level, but the lads are all doing their best, the coffee's not expensive and I feel like the clubs actually appreciate fans turning up and paying to watch. And matches aren't scheduled to start at times which are convenient for TV coverage in Singapore or Dubai.....

If this new super league ever gets off the ground, I wouldn't care if the clubs and all their players got slung out of all domestic and official European leagues and Cup competitions. In fact, that is what I would like to see happen if the super league goes ahead.

Question about this European Super League. Will the 'big six' and those 'elite clubs' in Europe quit their Premier Leagues to join it. Or will these 'elite' clubs' carry on playing in their own top flights and have this as another competition?
