WITH the debate about the atmosphere at Anfield — or lack of it — never truly going away and envious glances being cast towards Celtic Park’s rail seating section, which has brought noise, colour and occasion to matches where once there was none, I...
WHEN I was younger I used to love the moment at the start of the second half when the opposition goalkeeper ran towards The Kop, The Kop applauded him and he’d applaud back. It struck me as a moment of real sportsmanship, a signal that Liverpool fans were indeed the...
I WENT to two football games this weekend so I’m going to talk about both of them. Mainly because the Sunday one was absolutely rubbish and I’m still fuming. Saturday I went to Marine FC. Lots of us involved in TAW try and get to non-league games when we...
WHEN I was a kid we seemed to be exposed to quite a bit of Ancient Greek mythology. I think whatever passed for the national curriculum in the 70s was still rooted in the basic disciplines of an Empire education. Those Greeks. All their stuff seemed so long ago. Where...

WHEN Seamus Coleman had his leg virtually snapped in two by Neil Taylor during the recent international break, the widespread reaction (including from Liverpool fans) was, quite rightly, one of enormous sympathy for Coleman. Not that footballing ability is relevant in...
JUDGING the collective psyche of thousands of people is always a dangerous game. And yet, it happens every day. Especially in football, or more specifically in football supporter culture. Take the derby this coming weekend. Anfield will be a sellout for the visit of...
FOLLOWING the Taylor Report in 1990, Liverpool’s impetuous arch rivals Manchester United found themselves in a situation of ponderous limbo in relation to their Old Trafford home. United’s all-standing home had seen its capacity steadily decline since the Second World...
