Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[Elbow beards]

Out of interest, and in response to being "reliably" informed by the media that the scousers have booooo!-ed the national anthem since the 80s, has anybody got video evidence of...

1) The 85/86 cup final between Liverpool and Everton
2) The 86/87 cup final between Wimbledon and Liverpool
3) The 88/89 cup final between Liverpool and Everton
4) The 91/92 cup final between Liverpool and Sunderland
5) The 95/96 cup final between United and Liverpool
6) The 2000/01 cup final between Liverpool and Arsenal
7) The 2005/06 cup final between Liverpool and West Ham
8) The 2001/12 cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool

...because I don't really recall them doing it in before any of these games.

I may be wrong and am happy to be corrected if they did.

That's what I thought, I'm sure it's only a recent think, 5 years tops, may be less, along with this Scouse not English bollocks. If it really a protest about the governments lack of funding in the area and the Hillsborough enquiries if would have been going 35 years.

For once I'm not going to get on their backs about something, I've no problem with them booing the national anthem here because it's about what it represents.

I went to the City game yesterday, I didn't boo but I also didn't sing, there were many around me that didn't sing either.

We've more in common with the scousers than the Royal Family.

A quick diversion back to football. Was Salah not offside for his goal?

I thought so, no chance it was a different phase of play either.

The historical structure of ‘ Benevolent Leading Families ‘ works in the UEA.

The success, standards,safety, investment ( I could extrapolate ) are creating world class, peaceful and happy Emirates.

There’s a lot to be learned from their structure !!

Until their position, wealth, privilege and dictatorial political hegemony is threatened, or until when people ask for their individual and political rights, then they aren't so benevolent anymore.

I have watched it a few times and still don't see what I am missing.

Respect is respect. It is not relevant to the cause, or your views, that is pretty much the entire point of it.

'due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others'.

It is exactly the same thing, as an act, (as booing Hillsborough on its memorial day), the only difference is you agree with one and not the other. But it isn't about you, or them. That's pretty much how showing respect works.

And Liverpool fans failed at it yesterday, nothing changes that.

But what your suggesting is that regardless of what's actually taken place, people should show respect if they're told to do so. Where does that end? Dissenters in Nazi Germany speaking out in protest agains the Fuhrer would have been seen as disrespectful there, yet I applaud anyone who was brave enough to do so. Being told to be respectful to a rich man being given a crown isn't quite Nazi Germany but if respect is respect and it's irrelevant to my views then nobody should ever voice dissent about any issue which they see as unjust.

Yep,they are full of shit.

The biggest hypocrites in society.

Offended by everything,ashamed by nothing.

Maybe Sir Kenny Dalglish ( who was knighted by Charles for his services to football, charity and the city of Liverpool) could make a statement on the club's anger towards the establishment.

The only thing that's missing is a linesman's flag and a VAR check. I'd say maybe VAR wasn't working, but it worked Ok for the Brentford offside goal

What is your view on booing a Hillsborough tribute then if someone holds Liverpool fans in disdain and is a bit peeved off by what they perceive as a sham of an "event" taking place today when the actual event was more than a generation ago?

My view to that is regardless of what actually happened, people lost their lives and grave dancing isn't my thing. As with the Queen's death, she's someone I had zero time for but feel it's appropriate to at least allow others to pay respects for that sort of thing. A rich man being given a crown just isn't the same, it's a farce in every sense. If people still wish to support that then go ahead but I'm quite happy there's still a sane element of the public who wish to boo the fuck out of it.
