[edit] Fields of Anfield Road viewed with contempt

User:FearSneachta expressed the following intent on my talk page: "I will continue to edit that page until the day comes when Liverpool fans respect the history of the song without ruining it." [1] Future unsourced edits from this user will be considered vandalism. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soap box for anyone to express their personal displeasure with Liverpool Football Club and/or their supporters. ~ smb 13:13, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

An anonymous user, very possibly the aforementioned editor, continues to add unsourced statements to this page:
"...this amended version of the The Fields of Athenry is particularly insensitive to the original version and is viewed with contempt by fans of the original version." [2] [3]
This is a sweeping, unsourced statement that cannot be allowed to stand. It's also a tad ironic, since two Celtic-Liverpool supporters are responsible for writing it. ~ smb 17:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

No I sign all my statements and I don't even think this page warrants an article. There should me a mention of public opinion on the page as I know plenty of Liverpool fans who sing every song BUT this one when they go to anfield. FearSneachta (talk) 15:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

That would be considered original research. Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia rules and guidelines. Club specific songs are allowed here, but they are strictly limited and must pass notability. ~ smb 18:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The song is not notable if that's the case. It is a terrace rip off of a real and meaningful song and a bad one at that. In that case there should be wikipedia documents for songs like "who ate all the pies" and "the referee's a w*&*er". FearSneachta (talk) 16:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
