'Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.'
Bill Shankly
Football in the UK has always and will always trancende pure entertainment. It's not an industry. It's about the industry (of where these clubs were born, in our case Singers) and class (something SISU obviously lack!)
If people choose to go the may only be going to a 'football match' but they turn their backs on history, struggle and the social placement of football!
Top, top Shankly quote. I'd never heard that one before. That bloke was a genius. I bet he would't have taken his team to Northampton and if he had he'd probably committed hari kari in front of his fans to make amends because that was the kind of bloke Bill Shankly was.
