Mon night

[tinostongue]

Hope our fans respect the minutes clap/ applause whichever, if they don?t the media will hammer us,so please everybody behave.

[Zippity]

This site, sometimes...ffs

Anyway, to post AGAIN....I hope so, too but worry about some of our fans who have been on the lash all day

[Nufcian]

100% agree.

I do have a slight concern, it’s a night time game so plenty of time to get on the p!ss and some f^ck-knuckle do something stupid on 20 mins (let’s be honest, all fans have them… we have some divvy who squared up to a horse FFS 🤦*♂️), but I’d expect the overwhelming majority will show respect on 20 minutes.

i will be astounded if there's any sort of applause without hindrance.

as has been mentioned, people will be full of drink, its a bank holiday, there is an awful lot of bad

blood between our fans and their fans now that the Isak thing has been played out all summer

People don't forget easily, this is the same fanbase that boo's the national anthem.

Make no mistake, if there is disruption, they will love playing the victim card again, its second nature

to them.

Personally i hope our fans respect the applause but i just cant see it.

The atmosphere is going to be toxic, absolutely fever pitch, i can see a lot of cards in this game

[Guybrush]

We should get it out our system in the 14th minute.

Boos around the stadium and sing about Isak doing one.

Then in the 20th - applaud the roof off for Jota and show him what could have been had he stayed and become a hero

Jota's death by accident in a car crash is sad, however, it's no tragedy. The way people use language today is totally ridiculous. Of course, it's sad for the family. I respect that. I'm not a monster. however, Jota didn't die throwing himself in front of a bullet to save his wife or at the hands of some evil anti-Liverpool terrorist faction.

It's a bit rich from the fans, are they going to milk this all season?

Also, why is it that no one has questioned how a couple of millionaire football players obviously driving an ultra safe luxury car died in a fatal crash? Where is the toxicology report from the post-mortem investigation?

From personal experience, as a recovered alcoholic, when I was drinking I have wrapped a few cars around street furniture in the dead of night at well over the speed limit and walked away. I had no one to blame but myself. I was just fortunate that I was the only one involved in the accidents and when the police called the next morning it was a rude awakening I can tell you. Looking in the mirror to see myself covered in dried blood and the flashes of memory start to come back.


Spanish police said on Tuesday they believed Jota was driving over the speed limit when he and his brother were killed in a car crash in Spain last week. According to preliminary reports, the Lamborghini they were travelling in veered off course after a tyre burst.

On a Spanish motorway. So not a rally stage or anything. A burst tyre at the speed limit is bad but controllable. Kind of tells me that they must have been absolutely flying.

I mean, he's a football player not the queen. Mind you if it was the Queen, the bindippers would probably boo.

The vitriol around Isak on all fans channels and every single phone in, interview, tabloid and broadsheet should see zero sympathy or camaraderie between the two sets of fans.

Personally I don't see why there is any need for a minute silence at the start of a game or round of applause. Why should we celebrate the life of a man that did nothing for us and essentially lost control of a super car whilst driving like an a$$hole?

If it was a city banker. Everyone would be like 'Good he got what he deserved, entitled rich Pr!ck!'

Probably not a very popular view point but it is what it is.

I tend to agree, if he had died on the field of a heart attack then fair enough but what if he had killed some other poor sod on the road, comments would have been a lot different I think.

yeah indeed. Well, you can bet your bottom dollar that it would have all been hushed up as much as possible.

Just like all the other sh!t the top level players get up to. cough, cough, Thomas Partey, et al.

[Curian]

I think you both make some fair points about the young Liverpool player and the expectations that their club perceive to be the correct way forward. One of my first thoughts was how fast he might have been going at that time of night: it's natural to wonder. It's an awful tragedy for his family, though, and whatever the circumstances, they've lost someone they loved.

I don't mind the idea of a minute's silence, though I suspect this may not be the game where it happens given the atmosphere that the media and some Liverpool supporters have stirred up. Still, it will reflect well on us if we respond with dignity, staying silent, showing compassion, and offering the respect that we ourselves often don't receive. Any disruption will only inspire their team and hand the media an easy story. Let's it hope does not cause a distraction.

Did they have a minute of silence during the first match? No need to do it again, or ask other clubs to join in.
