Goes without saying - **** these guys and if there's any way of identifying them then get them banned.
Tbh though, **** any Town 'fan' who behaves in a verbally agressive way aimed at making others uncomfortable on an away day.

It was certainly a shame that so many people seemed determined to chant about Liverpool rather than getting behind our boys, but they must have their reasons. Hillsborough chants are a whole new level of sick though. It appears some need educating. Regarding Hillsborough chants those guilty need to be brought to account and the club needs to apologise on their behalf I am afraid đ© Iâve just posted on other thread about some of our cringeworthy/embarrassing songs which were classless but to be balanced, I donât recall hearing anything about Hillsborough....thankfully. I sincerely hope there werenât any that stooped that low.

Ironic seeing LFC fans trying to attack our club and support base for the actions of a very small group of twerps singing a distasteful chant about Hillsborough⊠because Liverpool supporters are such a squeaky clean bunch arenât they?

Sounds like you went into a Liverpool pub today. Did you get any abuse from Liverpool fans? In fact, did you get any abuse from Liverpool fans at any of the 3 recent games between the clubs?

Apparently some brave fans were in Liverpool city centre, when nobody scary was around, and filmed themselves singing f*** the 96 , then posted it all over Twitter.

You can't legislate for football people chanting in Liverpool "town centre" before a game.? It happens every week up and down the country? Are club's going to be pulled up now for chanting before a game?
Relatively small things on Twitter before a game shouldn't be top news?
This wasn't in the stadium.
It's not right, awful behaviour etc but an OTT reaction
The Scousers are one of the worst for similar chanting? Behaviour etc Their reputation speaks for itself. Offended by everything, ashamed by nothing

Fans who love the game of football will find stupidity like this abhorrent. Those guys in the video probably weren't born when the tragedy happened. Had they watched it unfold on TV like many of us did and followed the shameful legal dramas that followed over the last two decades then they may not have let alcohol/drugs affect the few brain cells they have between them, and shown a little respect.
True, Liverpool fans can also be scummy idiots, for example with their Munich songs, and for me that's just as bad.
I think this was just a group of teens, who haven't learned to handle their beer yet, who have discovered the delights of Twitter and want to make themselves infamous for 15 minutes. No doubt a big achievement for them, but in the morning I hope a few of them feel a bit p**sed off with themselves.

I assume this was the same little group who arrived at Lime Street on the same train as me, as we were walking through the station they were singing songs about murderers. As this was about 10.45 I thought it would be a long day for them and they'd do well to survive, not surprisingly we made sure we headed in the opposite direction to them.
Whenever we have a 'big day out' you are always going to attract some idiots but lets put it into context, about 20 out of 5,500 or so, so is a tiny minority. In the ground I didn't hear anything like that being sung, yes some childish & cringeworthy songs but in relation to Hillsborough of Heysel, one bloke tried to start something but took a bit of a slap off one of our fans and he soon shut up.

Similar to the above made a concerted effort to dodge the Town dick heads in the City Centre yesterday.
The locals couldn't have been more welcoming to us (as always)
A few dick heads let us down yesterday - why go to chuck abuse at some families/kids all game

Sadly 90% of chanting related to Liverpool and derivatives ofâŠ. I went to support my team and enjoy singing about my support for the team. The Telford Family song is deplorable and sung by Morons that I do not wish to stand near. Mr Klopps alleged sex offences song also belongs in the same sewer thatâs these morons swim around in. Why do these people come to games and embarrass genuine fans. Apologies from the club are the least we can do A gross over exaggeration. Iâd say around 70% of chants were pro Shrewsbury then 25% or so were about how quiet Liverpool fans were which is the type of chant which youâre always going to get whether you like it or not (canât say I was a massive fan of the library stuff but accept some people may wish to make the point as it was very quiet and Liverpool fans are well known for boasting about their atmosphere which is rubbish other than YNWA at the start and end of games). Granted the remaining 5% were s**t chants about Klopp being a sex offender, the incest song and Gerrard slipping over.

Think again This could go round & round in circles, I'm not going to try and come up with a figure but it certainly wasn't 90% of songs aimed at/about Liverpool. But I think there's two separate things here, one is the songs sung in the ground which you hear up and down the country at every football ground, they might be childish, boring and cringeworthy but its certainly not unique to us and I have no doubt Liverpool fans hear it all the time so couldn't care less. The second is songs sung about those who died at a football match by a group of about 20 of our fans, that is what has caused a lot of anger (and rightly so).

- Is this a library - Football in a library - 2-1/3-1 and you still donât sing - Ground full of tourists - Whereâs your famous atmosphere - Fergieâs right your fans are s**te - Jurgen Klopp, youâre a w****r, youâre a w****r - Shrewsbury boys weâre on a bender, Jurgen Klopp is a sex offender - Your sister is your mother, your father is your brother - Steve Gerrard, Gerrard
Please anyone fill me in if Iâve forgotten any! Some of the above are perfectly acceptable at a football ground but there was just far far too many.

I donât want to hear that kind of crap let alone take my kids to hear it. Yes I know itâs a football match and thereâs banter etc but itâs easy to see how a minority that think some of these are acceptable then think singing about Hillsborough would be nothing to them. I know Harry Burgoyne gets a bit of stick ok here but fair play to him for calling this out publicly, heâs right - find them, name and shame them then ban them. Iâve always thought we are better than this kind of stuff and weâd left the idiots behind in the early/mid 90s.

I'd hate to think our fans will be blanket tarred with this brush because of a handful of morons. I was in block 122 yesterday with my 5 year old. Didn't see or hear any of this really, even my 5 year old lad commented "the singing wasn't very good" from either side. Did meet some very friendly locals (not sarcasm; genuinely really sound people) on the way to the ground from where I parked and certainly didn't see any of these people behaving like this outside the ground on the way out (speaks volumes i guess). This is the problem with twitter etc. The ability to blow one very minor event out of proportion. Sincerely hope the same guy is out and about either his camera phone when Cardiff visit as that really won't be pleasant.

I think the Gerrard song might still hit home if they hadn't have won the league since but as they have... So I did wonder why our fans would sing that. That's about the only one I picked up from watching it on the box anyhow, I don't think I heard any of the other stuff that's listed above. Just to add regarding the home fans. I think they knew it was just a matter of time and a matter of how many looking to the possession they enjoyed. I think that does have an impact on the support given.

I presume the singing block was a mix of South Stand Singers and Block 19 singers hence the mix of pro town and anti Liverpool songs. One thing I wondered about was STFC advertising âby the drumâ and âsinging sectionâ but there was no drum! Did something happen to the drummer / drum?

Atmosphere in general wasnât the best.
We were in 127, and it was pretty loud for most of the game, but some of the song choices were odd. The Gerrard one in particular, not sure what that has to do with us. Quite a few people getting thrown out as well - no idea why.
The people at the bottom of the blocks behind the goal who were sitting down were more embarrassing though. Imagine travelling up to an away game at Anfield and choosing to sit down instead of getting behind the team.

Unbelievable really, just about sums of the moronic way in which tickets were sold for the game. 400 âsinging sectionâ tickets shoe-horned into the bottom corner of the away end next to disabled supporters as well as the Liverpool family stand, whilst players families are given tickets right behind the goal. No wonder we ended up with people sitting down behind the goal, and an atmosphere that never really got going.

Shrewsbury Town Football Club is disgusted and appalled to see and hear the reports on social media about the vile and offensive chanting and behaviour of a very small minority of our 'supporters' yesterday.
These people do not represent our Club in any way shape or form and we are liaising with West Mercia Police to try and identify those responsible who will in turn liaise with Merseyside Police.
If any supporters have any information that might assist us in identifying those responsible, they can contact the Club confidentially and we will use the information as part of our investigations with the Police authorities.

It's a crying shame that this ends up being the unwelcome talking point from yesterday.
The club has issued a statement and hopefully those responsible will be identified and dealt with accordingly.
