Wedding Photographers Taking a 'Kicking' From The Guests

Liverpool photographers - take a kick in Manchester. It is a fact. The rivalry between the two cities makes this inevitable. And what is the reason for this? Manchester United fans mistakenly thinking they are the best team in the world. There are other causes of this rivalry but football is the main one.

Because of Liverpool's poor season last year Man United fans have become even more unbearable than normal. But did they win the league last season? No. Did they win the Champions League? No. So it is a good idea to remind them of these facts at every opportunity you get.

And this is only one season after all. If you take into account the history of both these teams it soon becomes clear who the better side is. Playing in Europe is against the best of the best and Liverpool have the much superior record when compared to Man United's.

The problems for Liverpudlians working in Manchester at the moment are down to the poor season. Photographers in particular are getting it bad. Imagine being surrounded by drunk rival fans every day of your working week. Nightmare! The comments are bad enough normally, but when you add alcohol into the mix then the stereotypes start coming out and the comment quickly turn to abuse.

And worst of all there is practically nothing you can do or say in retaliation as you are at your work. You have got to behave like a professional. The only thing you can do is take it and try not to react. Not the easiest thing to do but necessary. Should you feel you need to say something, reminding them of Liverpool's superiority in Europe should shut them up.

And if you feel like they deserve it, you could snap them doing things they will regret when they have sobered up. Only do this if you're sure you can get away with it and get paid first!
