'i'll Be Muslim Too' Chant Liverpool Fans

[naomi24]

I’ve always considered those overly obsessed with football to be bonkers, but this takes the biscuit! More useful idiots!

It's just a chant ... there will be another one along in a minute.

[naomi24]

Crazy people.

[douglas9401]

The ninety minute Muslim, just add lager.

[anotheoldgit]

Just shows how easily some can be radicalised.

[jackthehat]

LoL....Those scallies and their amusing chants, eh?

[ummmm]

My son is obsessed with football and he's far from bonkers.

[emmie]

not so useful idiots, what is wrong with these people.

[ichkeria]

talbot has it:
it's a football chant. I should get over it if I were you.
And less of the "useful" :-)

[Mamyalynne]

The Washington Post has a more cheery attitude to this football fun. ;-)

emmie, they're useful to some. Their hero appreciates their efforts.

[emmie]

those same people will be baying for blood at the next terrorist atrocity - not singing their praises.

This is all a bit of a non-story, isn't it?
Salah is giving the Liverpool fans something to cheer about this season after a series of woeful performances in recent years.
This is their way of acknowledging his contribution......no more than that.
If Danny Ings was having a similar season I'm sure there would be a song around the terraces about him....

Well, the sainted BBC see fit to report it so I guess not.

[-Talbot-]

Personally...I think the chant is Dodgy.

[chelle7272]

It's a bit of fun for goodness sake!

I wonder what the attitude of some of the respondents towards Islam is. Worrying undertones in some of the responses.

[jackthehat]

Sainted BBC?

Goodness....

The chant may well be 'dodgy' but given some of the chants that you can hear at the matches between arch-enemies, it doesn't even register on the 'offence-o'meter'.

I agree you can see the hatred oozing out of the responses!!

I got the 'Dodgy' reference, Talbot. While we've talking music I happened to be looking up an old track by the Merton Parkas and noticed a Mick Talbot in the band...

[Voltage]

load of crap! non-story imo
