Nice quote mine. I'm sure we all had differing opinions on things 8 years ago. Perhaps his opinion has changed now.
I'm sure we could pick out seemingly questionable things from any politician we like if we really look hard enough.
I have to say though, what he said those 8 years ago is true in some aspects.
Some Liverpool fans do have this victim complex. Are you seriously telling me, despite what this report says, that no one Liverpool fan at that football match was misbehaving? They were at the very least (due to extreme numbers of supporters which shouldn't have even been there) giving the police a harder job than they had to do. Let's not forget Liverpool fans are the ones who got the entire of English football banned from European competition due to their antics against Juventus fans. I find it highly unlikely Liverpool fans, or any set of fans for that matter, won't misbehave in some way at a football match, especially when you start talking about thousands of them crowding in one area. There's always some set of pricks, either causing a complete ruckus or just being generally unruly.
And who says this report is the be all and end all of what actually happened that day. The only people who do know what happened were the people who were there, and it's obvious that the Liverpool fans are going to be biased and say how well behaved they were. I'm just saying you can't make a ruling for definite on their behaviour that day. The police say one thing the fans say another.

You know what, I actually love this picture. It shows how fucking awesome he is, even though people like you show it to discredit him.
Not only does he show in this picture that he's the kind of politician who's willing to get involved and show a different more human side by doing this kind of activity, but he also shows he doesn't take himself too serious as he just laughs it off and has a good time.
Why is this a bad thing again?
