Liverpool FC has condemned the «wholly unacceptable» behaviour of some fans after thousands gathered for a chaotic night of celebrations following the club’s Premier League victory.
In a joint statement with Merseyside Police and the Liverpool City Council, the club hit out at the actions of «several thousand» supporters, accusing them or risking «public safety» by congregating in the city centre despite concerns of a second peak of coronavirus.
During the celebrations, which took place for a second night and which centred around the Pier Head, part of the Liver Building caught fire.
Videos circulating on social media showed a firework hitting the building, which is partly owned by Everton FC majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, as supporters celebrated the club’s first Premier League win in 30 years.

Amazing what winning by DEFAULT does to some people's head. Still it had to happen, now the people of Liverpool can play the VICTIM again. DEFAULT! DEFAULT.
I would have made them clear up the mess they left
All that trash and not one coke can is that cause of the price
Calm down calm down terry
All these large gatherings illegal. ..
Arrest them. Do your job.
Tax payer will have to foot the bill of the mess those gobshites made they should have burnt the building down wasnt it used for slavery all those years ago
kidds
We're heading for Super Saturday next weekend – Pub frenzies. Some BLB marches – Liverpool fans still celebrating .. Beaches to pack out. Lets all go Covid Crazy for Boris' herd immunity.
Yep…. this just proved that scousers are far tougher than any BLM or antifa pussies…even the police are too afraid to go near them… we should bring these guys in to maintain law and order and to prevent our monuments being vandalised by moronic kneelers…
If there's new COVID-19 cluster of Liverpool FC fans, hopefully they won't have to wait long for the vaccine.
The hypocrisy is ridiculous. BLM probably hijacked the celebrations. BLM are terrorists. Liverpool fans are celebrating something good.
I'm from Liverpool I'm ashamed that you could even attempted to damage the liver building that is a symbol of our city. I'm absolutely made up Liverpool won I'm totally happy about that but I'm absolutely sickend by the behavior of these people. Remember who you are your scousers act like it respect my city yes I have a right to say my city I was born in Liverpool went to school on Liverpool have family in Liverpool Liverpool is my home Liverpool is my city and I'm bloody proud to be from Liverpool
I'm not a Liverpool fan but how is this any different from thousands of BLM protestors gathering in London? As far as I know, no statues were destroyed in Liverpool.
With everything going on in the world a bit of litter on the floor and an accidental fiework fire is nothing to cry over.the only thing i can see is the city needs to invest in more bins and if you could smell it probably more public toilets like every city mostly need ?
I hope they all get corona and die except for fng
Two weeks later massive increase in covid-19 good job…
People say Liverpool is the New York of England. I see why
Drunken disorderly behaviour.
Firework raves.
These idiots do not Represent Liverpool decent LFC fans in Liverpool stayed at Home celebrating
At least they’re celebrating in their own fckng country and no elsewhere, we don’t want this kind of idiots out of England.
what scum bags another reason why Liverpool has some of the worst fans in the world
Green revolution : Litter filth unsociable behaviour unthinking behaviour stupidity selfishness uneducated and shameful behaviour
What were they going to see ? The ground was closed ??? Same every season, same teams playing each other over and over. Really exciting – not. I got more excited when my budgie started talking. Now that’s talent?
They cleaned up amazingly quick
Props to the city cleaners
Excellent stuff at least they aren't pulling down statues and trying to create racial division
Hillsboro disaster would be too good for these idiots.
So where the fire…
And this is why Liverpool were jinxed to not win the title for 30+ years
Classless and ignorant ,glad that the legend Bill Shankly is not around to see how some of his clubs support have become an embarrassment.
K A G S
Liverpool FC to have premier league title taken away from them due to their fans behavior…. regards Tony
Liverpool fans up to it again!
What is wrong with these people? The same idiots are packing the beaches. Thick Britain.
The same morons blamed the government for allowing the Athletico Madrid game to go ahead and spread the corona virus!
Liverpool fans have wanted this for so long. When 2000 congregated outside the stadium everyone one in the world thought, you know what, let them have their fun for one night, they deserve it. But they just had to carry on, night after night, setting things on fire. Now everybody thinks they are dicks.
Champion champion! Liverpool Champion!!! YNWA
wonder if they will be smiling as much when their relatives start dieing from covid?
"Liverpool FC slams behaviour of fans after Liver Building catches fire"
What that says is liverpool fc condone there fans actions if the liver building didnt catch fire then, as it was lfc actions that caused all this mayhem( as if they did not play this would not of occured) whats the point in having no fans in the stadium if this happens, lfc should pay the civil costs of this "event" for the clean up and police attendance and hospital admissions from drunken injurys,
Why should other people be paying the bill,
Congrats to liverpool fc for winning but its now held in shame because of the actions of your fans and it will never be swept under the carpet
How can anyone claim to be a sport fan when their only motive is to get pissed and cause mayhem .All need be done is study the film footage of the people involved and do a dawn raid on them .The police know who the trouble makers are but there is no strong political leadership to bring these and other groups of "protesters" to justice .
All in the name of a round lump of leather being kicked about. it totally baffles me !
And while the cleanup crew are making the rubbish disappear the drunk fans are in bed.
No social distance..and everything to the floor because others need to clean..football is much more important lol
Send bill to football club they can charge fans for it on next ticket 10 pounds each give back to tax payers
Virus what virus the world knows it’s a lie
Jesus stop virtue signaling. The youth of today are angry with the government and older generations, not that they fully know why or how to express themselves. The comments are poison. This is England.
Return the cup or pass it to another team as this lot don't deserve it ?
Covid will end Liverpool then?
I wonder how many will die or infect others from covid 19 for this childish behaviour
