LFC KopCast Show Now Online

The latest episode of my podcast LFC KopCast is now online.

Here’s where to hear it.

One for fans of Liverpool FC this really given the content. It’s 4 Reds and a microphone chatting all things LFC.

In this show we hear from Billy Liddell’s biggest fan about watching the great man play, and a passionate outpouring on ticket price rises.

It’s the 3rd episode and is getting better with each show. This one is a must listen if you follow Liverpool.

It’s also available on iTunes as well as the LFC KopCast website.

Calling All Kopites: Help Needed

This one is off topic in terms of music, but I’m involved in a social history project surrounding Liverpool Football Club.

I’m wanting your photos (and vids if you have them) that relate to supporting Liverpool Football Club in the 1960s.

You can upload any pictures and files by clicking the link here and using the password 60skop

I’m also wanting your stories, so if you were following LFC in the 60s drop me a line at my contact page here.

Also, if you’d prefer to get in touch personally than use the uploader, just drop me a line at my contact page here.

Thanks very much for all your help.

LFC Kopcast – if you’re interested

Not a music post this, but those of you who support Liverpool might be interested in this new discussion-based podcast I present about all things LFC.

There’s four avid reds each time talking all things Anfield so if you share my footballing allegiances then have a listen as I reckon you’ll enjoy it.

Come on FC United!!

There’s something amazing happening tonight. FC United of Manchester, a club that didn’t even exist 5 years ago, are playing in the 1st round of the FA Cup against Rochdale.

It’s a difficult task for any non league club to make it through the preliminary games in order to get to the first round proper, but FCUM have done it.

The reason why it’s particularly amazing, and why even as an avid Liverpool supporter I’ll nonetheless be cheering on this group of Man United exiles tonight, is because this football club was built by the people.

FCUM was started by ordinary football fans. Today they continue to own it on a socialist basis, and it’s the supporters who govern it.

Those in charge of football think the game is only safe if it is passed from billionaire to billionaire. Clubs like FC United of Manchester, AFC Wimbledon, and AFC Liverpool which I founded in 2008, prove that malign view wrong.

The only people that football is safe with is the fans of each football club.

A victory tonight for FC United of Manchester is something that all football fans and all socialists should be cheering for.

I’ll be gigging tonight but I’ll be keeping an eye on the score. Best wishes to my many friends at FCUM. I salute everything you have achieved. Enjoy your moment of history tonight, and may you have another moment of history to follow – by winning and getting yourself into the hat for the second round draw.

AFC Liverpool Free To Unison Members

AFC Liverpool logoAFC Liverpool, the worker-owned football club I set up last year, is free entry tomorrow (Sat 5 Dec, 3pm) for UNISON members. Just bring your union card.

The club is also joining in the climate campaign by wearing shirts the same blue colour of The Wave Climate Change Campaign for the day.

So thats a Liverpool supporters team wearing BLUE for climate change!!

How to get there: 10 or 10A bus goes straight there (we play at Prescot Cables
ground) but for more details visit http://afcliverpool.org.uk/go/directions-to-watch-afc-liverpool

It’s a top of the table clash and promises to be an exciting day out.

For non UNISON members the prices are still cheap (£5 adults, £3 seniors, £2 under 18s) and Saturday has the added spice that it’s a top of the table clash.

We also have two new strikers who have been setting the fans talking, as one is a carbon copy of the young Michael Owen (remember him?)

So if you can’t get to the climate march and want to mix the climate campaign with a workers-run football team, come to AFC Liverpool at 3pm on Saturday.
