What really gets to me is that Norman Stanley's reaction to the cup loss seemed to be "it's just another game of football". It was not. It was our chance to dream of a great day out come early January. The fact is we were 12-1 ON for that game. This being the case, he should have shown some humility and passion. I did not want him to pass his best congratulation to Maldon and Tiptree in the aftermath of the disaster.

A few quotes by Bill Shankly.....Having grown up in a remote and poverty-stricken village in Scotland, Shankly had a keen sense of what made a life worth living. In an interview held during a Liverpool training sessions, he revealed his most treasured character trait in a person:
“It’s the greatest thing in the world, natural enthusiasm. You’re nothing without it.”
Also the below sentences eloquently demonstrate the Liverpool legends dedication to the beautiful game:
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”
Lastly on the simplicity of the sport....“Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.”

Like it Sid, especially that last sentence!
