It's not that disliking liverpool is dumb, that's your choice, but calling a team lucky when they consistently force late winners is stupid. And calling today's win lucky is also stupid, since Liverpool were clearly the better team and deserved to win. Of course, one can argue that every win is lucky, since at one level it is, but to characterize Liverpool's win as being lucky without acknowledging their superiority is either stupid (if you genuinely think it was all down to luck), or obnoxious if you're simply trying to be an ass
I guess if one had lived through that match, living through the actual moments, seen it happening, living through the days and weeks after, learning about the sickening behaviour shown by many fans of Liverpool, seen the funerals of Juventus fans and the tears of the families and fans they left behind, then one might find the idea of supporting both teams faintly revolting.
of course, that's understandable, but on the other hand it's best for both sets of supporters to try and move on without animosity. the tragedy definitely should not be forgotten of course, but one should remember that ever team has it's despicable supporters, and the vast majority of Liverpool fans despise the people that behaved so badly during that tragedy. for me, I started supporting both clubs without knowing their full history, and i tend to be pretty stubborn/loyal, so i wasn't going to start disliking either one of my teams because of that horrific shared event. i just hope that the mutual animosity eventually becomes replaced by respect and friendship between the two clubs. certainly the process has been started
