It remains to be seen, but people can’t even accept basic requests to be respectful in the Queen Elizabeth thread on this forum, people are willing to excuse and justify the chants against Billy Gilmour and Steau Bucharest flags at the derby.
There will always be a section of the fanbase who aren’t willing to alter their behavior even after the thoughts of Klopp and Kenny to the contrary.
The difference here is it’s in the interests of liverpool football club (and Liverpudlians in general) to observe an official minutes silence as any deviation will be pounced upon and forever referred to because of existing stereotypes - irrespective of anything to do QEII.
I think it’s ridiculous to even suggest that Liverpool supporters won’t respect the silence (even thou I might of mentioned something along those lines).
This is a club that knows how to unconditionally show their compassionate side, need any evidence you just need to look back a while when one of the most hated footballers (from a footballing pov) was shown the utmost respect when he had just lost a child at birth.
I think the Anfield crowd will actually go over and above of what is expected, and I wouldn’t surprised if the was something done in the 96th second of the game, it’s a significant number that just happens to have something in common with a magnificent life, well lived.
Greame Souness was on talksport this morning saying that he expects most if not all of the crowd to show respect.
Those that don’t would be disrespecting the name of Liverpool football club on grand scale and in the eyes of the world.
Anyone that boo’s tonight would be disrespecting their own club.
If there are any that didn’t agree with the Queen or monarchy or whatever, they can show respect to LFC and the fans by at least keeping quiet
Would be very easy for a Manc to get a ticket, don a Liverpool scarf and boo. Hey presto, media frenzy. If hundreds boo a minute’s silence, well, let’s hope they don’t.
Ebay, touts etc. You can always get a ticket if your pockets are deep enough. Making us look ridiculous tonight is worth a lot to some people I think. Hope I’m wrong, hope it’s silent.
