Brendan Rodgers: 3 types of supporter. Which type are you?

**indianpaddy** · 5-6-12,11:57

“There are three types of supporters at every club. No 1 are those who love their club and will love their manager whoever it is because Liverpool is their life and their passion.

“The second group are supporters who will accept you but to earn their real respect you will have to be successful, and that’s fine.

“The third group are the critics and you never change them ever. Ever. If you win 4-0 it should have been five, if you win the league you should have won three. But I will never worry about that group, because you can never affect them.

When i was younger I was the first type of supporter but now I am probably the second type as I didn't unconditionally support Kenny or Roy and Rafa earned my respect by being relatively successful.

He's spot on though.

**Dirny** · 5-6-12,12:37

Great point by him.

I'd class myself as second, I'm happy we've got Rodgers but I won't be building a shrine to him without the team improving.

me 2

I was definitely No.1 when Kenny was manager.

But overall, I am No.2. Buck'll have to earn my respect just as Rafa did.

**LFCrealRED** · 5-6-12,12:42

I was once a No1,

but over the last few years i would put myself as a No2 now.

In before the superfans arrive.

**Red-And-Proud** · 5-6-12,12:43

I've just got a tattoo of his face on my forearm

*With the words "Rodgerspool" under it

Damn you beat me

**ForkHandles** · 5-6-12,12:44

Plenty of number 2's on this forum. Going to read the op now.

**SWKop** · 5-6-12,12:44

Deffo Group 2 for me.

Group 3 can **** off, miserable gets!

**TheArtOfLeivatation** · 5-6-12,12:45

I'd say 1 with a little bit of 2.

Same.

**carlfitz07** · 5-6-12,12:49

No 2

**DiscoDjimi** · 5-6-12,12:49

Mix between 1 and 2.

**Chickenliver** · 5-6-12,12:51

I'm the second one. I was the same when Rafa took over i didn't straight away like him but grew to respect and love him.

**Red-And-Proud** · 5-6-12,12:52

What about supporter number 4 ?

**Batteries** · 5-6-12,12:53

2.

Same here, the bit on the venn diagram where 1 and 2 combine

4) Consumer fan who lives on forum and wills players to fail in order to be proven right on forum, if seen at match, often sporting a giant foam hand and giant nacho hat, booing while spraying nacho debris on those around him.

**Syndicato** · 5-6-12,12:58

Sane, rational, mature people are generally no. 2. During Kenny's reign I was so disappointed with many people I thought were no 2s being hysterical no 1s

Yeah, read the article earlier.

When i was younger I was the first type of supporter but now I am probably the second type as I didn't unconditionally support Kenny or Roy and Rafa earned my respect by being relatively successful.

I flit between I and II although I have to say that the second group of supporters also consider Liverpool to be their life and their passion.

**kennys3rdlittletoe** · 5-6-12,13:01

I think I'm a 1.5 - at least I definitely flicker between 1 and 2 depending on mood!

**Rarfabenitz** · 5-6-12,13:01

I'm no 4, a closet united fan masquerading as a Liverpool fan!! Haha. Nah seriously I'd say I'm a no.2.

**Q80** · 5-6-12,13:02

im no. 1 i was really sad when kenny left (hes mr liverpool to me)but i love liverpool with passion so im the no. 1 kind

yes you got all agitated, I was in the seat in front, apparently my nacho hat was obscuring your view and my giant foam hand 'poked you in your eye'. I told you to **** off then booed you before strolling out bored, ten minutes had gone and it was 0-0. 'I pay good money for these tickets, I demand more' is what I shouted.

I just popped to McDonald's then and ate a double whopper without chewing.
