Liverpool vs Ajax - Champions League, 13th September @ 8pm

[Nebraska Red]

They are a balanced team, a mix of young and experienced players. Fast and direct up front, but suspect at the back.

The come back starts here 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

You'd say Napoli (A) is the hardest game and probably Napoli (H) the 2nd hardest - especially after seeing them.

 

So this would be our 3rd easiest - hence a must win - based on

Napoli A

Napoli H

Ajax A

Ajax H

Rangers A

Rangers H

 

 - usually a group wouldn't be quite like that but I think the gap between each seed is quite large

Minutes silence before the game..................

Its a political imposition, and i reject the relationship  that it implies…

but yeah i can be doing without the extra hassle of having to hear the right wing press having a go at liverpool.

[PaulMcC186]

I haven't decided what I'll do. I reckon I'll go in late.

Yeah pretty much where I am...and factor in that Klopp has asked us to respect it and that I reckon not doing will hurt us somehow (not 100% sure how that looks)

 

[Tommok]

Realistically, there's no way it's going to be totally observed is there? 

[psl]

Apparently the club requested a minute's silence.

[Cunny]

if we don't observe it then it gives every d****ead from opposition support justification (in their minds) to not observe any future minutes silence for Hillsborough

 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

personally I would - it costs me nothing. 

 

I wouldn't stand though. 

[Roscoe]

I’m 100% abolitionist republican but it just needs to be done 

[Nebraska Red]

Don't give the f***ing media any ammunition. We are brilliant at observing any kind of silence. 

Save the booing for that awful UEFA anthem.

[smithdown]

Ammunition for what?  
 

f*** the Tories will be fine.  It’s not like the country is going to go oh look they had a minutes silence let’s now give them justice after that cover up we were all perfectly happy to go along with 

 

emotional blackmail bulls*** 

[Cam]

It would boil so much (London/Manc/media) p*ss if it was perfectly respected. As it should be - its not like they're asking us to sing GSTK, ffs. 

And I think it would have been unequivocally respected until fairly recently, maybe ten years ago. 

[Gravy]

Whoever is going just observe it ffs

You can’t gripe about others not respecting Hillsborough if we just go and do the same thing

The whole of Europe - maybe the world - will be watching not just England - booing or whatever else might be done will do so much damage to the clubs image. You don’t here to be a royalist just by keeping schtum for 60 seconds.

I get this but just think people should get their head down, look at their phones or whatever for a minute. Silent indifference is fine. No good comes out of us singing or worse through this.

I think.

I agree with that. You wanna sing f the tories, then fine, do it after the minute’s silence. 
 

the silence is for the queen no one else.

Silent indifference is the way to do it I think. There'll be zero chance of Hillborough silence being observed in the future if this one isn't.

"I am a republican and a humanist. Indeed, I am a republican because I am a humanist. I wish the individuals well and the institution ill", as Gary Younge put it in the Guardian a few years back.

Mancs will just say the microphones have been switched off

It really isn’t for her. Its for the symbolism. Its for the demonstration that people have regard for the crown.

Nobody at that game knew her.

I’m not saying disrespect the silence, i’m just interested in the ‘why’ of all this mourning
