The Barca game at Murrayfield was bad enough and that featured Hibs - think i lasted 35 minutes before heading. Not for me this - fill your boots though.

Absolutely bang on. Full of wee fuds ****ing themselves into oblivion over multi millionaire EPL players. No thanks.

Id rather sit at a murrayfield and watch the six nations with the rest of the farmers and that’s saying something.

Hope it never happens. A "glamour friendly" against Liverpool at Murrayfield sounds a bit cringey and desperate for me. Was bad enough against Barca. I'd rather we just aspired to play them in Europe and left glamour friendlies to others. Our city neighbours managed it not so long ago.

Even before becoming European Champions again, it was virtually impossible to get tickets for Anfield, even if you belong to a regional supporters club somewhere else in the UK most of these guys are on a waiting list for tickets.

If it happens it's brilliant news for me, I'll definitely be taking Bollah Jr, who is a Liverpool fan and a Hibs fan. The closest he's ever got to seeing them live is the Anfield stadium tour. I am really sorry if this reality, that a boy can support two teams equally and passionately, offends those purer and more exalted fans out there.

How much to watch 2 clubs stroll around not laying a glove on each other?

Rather watch Corrie or Eastenders.

Same with my son though did take him to a Sunderland Liverpool game a few years back in the home end.

Fair bit of inverse snobbery on this thread. :greengrin

I have nothing against these things, if folk want to go and get a chance to see teams they might otherwise not get to, then that's a good thing, surely?

Nobody is putting a gun to anyone's head and saying they have to go.

I was thinking about doing the same at St James Park but not really the done thing in that part of the world to sit in the home end with a red shirt on:greengrin

Exactly - don't like/fancy it? - don't go. Why come on here just to moan about something you have no interest in?

It's not for me but it's not like the EPL is some mysterious unknown entity in Scotland. Both the league and Liverpool have a huge fanbase up here anyway so it's not like a one off game is going to have people burning their STs for ER, Tynecastle, Fir Park et al because they have discovered this new and exciting product.

This for me.

I would love to see Liverpool and Napoli play a competitive game, not so sure about an exhibition match.

Didn't bother going to see Barca when they came over.

Agree leave the red shirt at home. :greengrin

There were an incredible amount of "Liverpool" supporters on Facebook and Twitter over the last week who live in Scotland and probably haven't even set foot in the city in their life never mind anfield. Referring to Liverpool as "we" and "us". If only they put as much effort into supporting Scottish football as they do pretending to support these English sides then maybe Scottish football would be more attractive to outside investment. No problem in people following an English side and watching their games but this "we" and "us" ***** does my head in.

Understandable for a kid but completely weird when its adults. IMO you can't passionately support a team when you havn't seen them play or visited the city. It's also double-standards. "Look at all those old firm fans, gloryhunters all over the place wearing their strips and giving them their cash" then you have fans of Scottish clubs giving money to a billion pound company a few miles down the road.

Not got an urge to watch Liverpool anywhere or on any medium. Have seen Napoli before and they were gash...we put 5 passed them at ER😉

I would hope the SFA told them to bolt.

There are enough edinburgh school kids running around in Premiership kits as it is.

I remember years ago Newcastle advertising their games in the EEN and that pissed me off too. Its one thing the EPL seducing fanboys in Thailand or the USA or Outer *****lia … its quite another in my opinion doing it in a city which is a relatively short car or train journey from Newcastle or even Liverpool, so no matter how unlikely it is to do so I don't want them drawing future supporters away from Scottish football and especially Hibs by playing glamour friendlies in our back yard.

So as a football fan who would genuinely watch absolutely anybody play anybody with very little prompting I would rather watch Hearts play Hamilton than go to this … in fact there's more chance of that happening.

Edit …. The swear filter …. really :faf:

I’m not sure what a friendly has to do with the EPL to be honest.

Spot on.

Liverpool Football club. The clue is in the name.

Just seen it’s confirmed. July 28th.

It will be Pizza 1926 on Dalry Rd for that authentic Neapolitan scran first of all. Wee Limoncello or two. Stroll round to Murrayfield. decent!

As a football fan I will be attending.

Don’t understand all the crying over it either. Weird.

They follow or support Liverpool in some way so I can’t see anything wrong in them describing themselves as we or us meaning they consider themselves part of the worldwide support.

Most Liverpool fans became fans when very young during the 70s/80s. That is glory hunters who have never grown up and cant take banter

I don't have an English team but will absolutely be looking to get tickets to see the Champions League winners in my home city.

Can't really understand the outrage from some on this.

Does anyone know if there was a designated away end when this fixture was played in Dublin last year?

Guessing not, but would cost depending, make me go.

I honestly don't see how this game is gong to affect Hibs or Hearts in any way.

I hope all those that do go enjoy themselves... though I doubt it'll be particularly exciting.

A corporate snoozefest for the FIFA generation so they can take selfies in their half and half scarves and tell Instagram all about how they are die hard Liverpool fans who never miss a Liverpool game when it’s held in Edinburgh. Meanwhile the product on the pitch will be played with all the pace, passion and intensity as a game of travel scrabble and any player that is worth watching will be wrapped in cotton wool and subbed off at half time anyway.

To me, it's almost like a different sport.

All my life I've had folk mocking me for going to watch Hibs. F them, I enjoy it.

Those same people will happily pay a fortune to watch 2 disinterested squads of megastars have a meaningless kickabout. It's not my thing, but fair play to them, they can do what they want in their spare time.

Hoping the cost would be decent for this.

Sure it was overpriced last year when they played in Dublin.

I bet you half the folk at the Spice girls concert haven’t even seen them live let alone been to the places where they come from 😂
