No, but the club do. Rangers and Celtic have both been fined by UEFA for their fans' behaviour and chants in the past, so should Liverpool.
i believe all clubs have in the past, so nothing new there......i mean uefa fined city only a few weeks ago due to singing over the champions league song, so singling out liverpool as you did, i don't see the point.

They were singing the same song, that's the link and why I mentioned it.
The Man City thing was an absolute non-event. Sectarian chanting by anyone pisses me off, always has and always will. I've got no qualms in calling anyone out on it.
how do you know they were singing the same song, i watched the match Live last night and could hardly hear anything being chanted from the liverpool end, maybe some people who listen on the radio have special hearing......

Plenty videos doing the rounds on social media. It's not hard to find.
The old firm have a massive footballing history but the unfortunately the knuckle draggers bring both clubs down. Here is the problem and it’s starts when kids are young . An old pal of mine from way back, when he first moved into my street he was about 10/11yr old. Die hard Celtic fan and bigot even at that age. Fast forward to now he is even worse , has his own kids now and hate to think that they have the same attitude.

This is the frustrating thing. It's ingrained from such an early age. Half of the eejits probably don't even recognise the significance of what they're singing.

Those 'loyal' hun...sorry, Rangers fans were letting us know they were there by leaving in droves during the game. The fans were an embarrassment last night. I didn't know Andy Robertson was a Catholic...until he came on last night and the Huns pointed it out to us!
Scottish football? It's like Women's football. Loads of hype and you want it to be good but the skill level is the same as that shown in Monkey Tennis - amusing but just not there. A good player emerges - England-bound.
Scotland's finest showed us what they're capable of last night and England didn't have to send their finest to show us just how enormously wide that gap is. Still, whichever of the bigot brothers wins their 2-team league (again) they can celebrate like it means something.
Liverpool fans have their very own sectarian thing going on, but that said, there isn't much of your post I can disagree with.
Three years ago, I was involved in a procedure going on at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. We had to manufacture a piece of our kit to fit the specific anatomy of a patient. We duly produced it and I took it up. Together with a Radiologist, we measured the device against the patient's anatomy from the CT scan and MRI. Satisfied it would fit, I was invited into the hybrid theatre where the device insertion would take place. On our way down, I was asked which foot I kicked with! I know what this means but haven't been asked that since I was about 10 so assumed he was joking. He wasn't. In the theatre changing room, there was blue theatre garb in one cupboard on one side of the room and green in the other! This is the 21st century and STILL you've got bitter sectarianism like that in departments you'd have thought were above this. It was also apparent that the blues congregated together as did the greens and never the twain shall meet. Patient treatment is bound to be compromised in such an atmosphere.
What's this 'sectarianism' that goes on amongst Liverpool fans though?

Sadly, as someone who grew up in the West Coast of Scotland, I have seen what I would call real sectarianism (although I'm quite sure some people in Ireland could tell you stories that would make your toes curl) where your life choices could be dictated by what side of the divide you came from, what job opportunities were available to you and even where you lived. So while you may well have been shocked by your experience in Glasgow Royal, that wouldn't cause a ripple in the city even today, and station in life does not make you immune to it.
As for Liverpool's own sectarian issues, were the fans not filmed singing pro IRA songs?
That's just terrible.
And I have never seen or heard ANY reference to the IRA amongst Liverpool fans and I've sit and stood amongst them for over fifty years but maybe you know more than me on this one?
I know of a flag-flying loyalist pub about half a mile from Anfield where I've seen our fans emerge from before games but that IRA reference would be - genuinely - news to me and one I'd like to know more about so anyone trying it gets 'discouraged' from being divs.

Yeah, its not great, but I just think of it as an extension of the old school tie, which goes on all over the world. I reckon it worked in my favour a bit, as opportunities were closed to me as traditionally they were kept for someone with a different background so eventually, I just started what turned out to be a very successful business.
There's a number of videos online of some singing from both sides, pathetic really but that's the way it is.

The top three places taken up by loads o' money from parachute payments, can't hack it in the top flight, yo-yo clubs I notice.
Can't something be done about Norwich's up down up down up down existence, like being taken over by someone like that bloke who took Darlington over quite a few years ago.

We've only gone and won!
Best bit was when our fans were chanting "we're winning one nil, how sh*t are you " they sang back "your winning one nil, how sh*t are we".
Good banter.
