Anfield loses England game over ban on Sun journalist

I'd pay to go into an empty Anfield rather than entertain a Sun Journalist.

Funny isn't it.

The one move the least likely to help cover over the scouse not English feeling they go and do. Interesting.
 
It is, of course a brilliant thing for the club to do. Quite right too. Thing is @Red rose there's slightly more to it than your post. This is a month old story and weirdly got a little swept under the carpet. LFC are not the only club to ban that fucking rag. Everton being an obvious one (the Ross Barkley comments it made as well as the general feeling on Merseyside regarding that rag) - A host of others have too. Not so overtly maybe but I have a few buddies that work in sports journalism and regularly attend pressers for most PL games (among others) - If a S*n journo is in the mix at the presser and raise their hand for a question they are generally ignored. Quite pointedly in some cases. Utd and City apparently both do. As does Newcastle. There are others too. Not just football. Rugby is another. It would be nice if the FA just acknowledged the ill feeling towards that horrid shit stain of a paper and banned them from Wembley as well. Doubtful that it would but to even raise the question as to allow them in, is (in mind anyway) fucking disgusting.

EDIT: It does beg the question... Why do the FA give a fuck if a S*n journo is banned or not?
 
The club routinely puts anti-S*n clauses in its contracts with sponsors and the like. It’s why the journos are so desperate to piggy-back on England games because they don’t get a look-in any other time.
The anti-S*n thing is baked into LFC at all levels. Good to hear of other clubs joining in too. Just need to work on the rest of society now.

i hear ya @Red Astaire I realised after I’d posted it it was kinda old news. Although I’d never seen anything about it. Thanks for the insight. Very interesting.

I assume they have some sort of exclusive tie in with the FA. Official phone hacking partner or something like that
 
The day may come when they send a disabled lgbtq+ journalist, and on that day our club's courage may fail.

That is very interesting. I wasn't aware of the general antipathy towards the S*n-- actually thought Man U would be up there with sucking up to that rag as it bigs up the skanks at each every opportunity (as does the Daily Mail).

In regards to Utd - I forget the name of their fans group. You know the ones who wear the weird Norwich scarfs… Anyway those guys actually did some kind of petition or lobbying to get the rag banned. It was moderately successful in the action that the club took. My buddy told me it’s pretty cringe worthy at certain pressers. I can well imagine it too. S*n journo frantically waving his arm about trying to get a question in and then being summarily ignored. Repeatedly… 😀.

Edit: Where is @Brenden when you need him? He’d have some insights on this topic I’m sure…. 😵

Ex Mirror though wasn’t he?

Back in the day he was the showbiz columnist for the S*n. That was before he was appointed editor of the Mirror. Then he got sacked by them for publishing photos on the front page that showed UK troops torturing Iraqi’s. Photo’s which were properly dubious and regardless utterly irresponsible for him to print. He’s a horrid cunt of a man. Then again everyone knows this. I once met Rick Sky (I think that was his name) Does anyone remember him? He told me a ton of stuff about Piers…. The long and short of it is he’s a complete self serving wanker.

I used to watch Piers Morgan on GMB until he walked off in a huff
Personally won’t be interested in anyone who is involved with that scum paper, can’t abide it !
