His was bad, but then so was Salah's. The only difference between them is that 1 will be going this transfer window, the 2nd in a years time.
1 I'd like to stay and the other can go in a years time without arguement.

Yes it’s why I said “ at least he hit the target”

Salah was shocking today imo.

 

[clubchamp98]

They are a very good team , quick going forward but think they may end up losing their two best players before the end of the window

Yes Wharton was excellent second half.

If it’s not tribalism then what reason would a Palace fan for disrupting a minutes silence for a player passing away ?

Just the way the modern fan is ? A bit too much drink maybe - it’s why clubs are going to minutes applauses which I believe was asked for

Liverpool fans booing the anthem has been happening for a while and it’s nothing to do with disrespecting Palace - they have their reasons

It’s a shame a minority act like they do

Personally I think it’s about time they got the chip off their shoulder.

“Scouse not English “ is embarrassing

Wharton will stay , they will prob lose Eze and Guehi

Wharton is superb and should be in the England team

Maybe because they heard Liverpool supporters booing their National Anthem?

And that means they are ok to then disrupt a memorial for someone passing away ?

Why must the two be connected - is that how the brain of a football fan there works

What’s the national anthem got to do with a Portuguese footballer who tragically died.?

We all know why they boo but the Establishment have had quite a while to do something about it but havnt.!

Why do Liverpool fans boo the national anthem?

Liverpool fans booed the national anthem before the Community Shield against Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium

A very good article on it

Hey, I was just suggesting an answer to Phil's question.
To get a real answer you'd have to ask them.
The brains of some supporters is just something that can never be understood.
Unfortunately there's an element of those neanderthals at pretty much every game.
Decent supporters should call them out as they bring shame on their clubs.

Very much so and it’s a shame that the minority act in such a way

At least they weren’t on the sideline trying to punch players like we saw on Friday in the Ipswich match

 

[Swango1980]

Two vastly different situations which have been discussed at length when it comes to the Anthem

Time for the anthem to stop being played at these events

But if that’s the reason why some Palace fans felt it ok to disrupt the minutes silence it shows I guess the level of mentality

Just to point out, most people in the crowd are British. When the national anthem is booed, to some that is considered hugely disrespectful.

People have a right to not sing the anthem. But when booed, you should accept that will offend people.

What some Palace fans did during minutes silence was hugely disrespectful. However, it was inevitable. Because when tens of thousands are in crowd, there will be enough that will respond by believing "if Liverpool fans show clear signs of disrespect, then we will give them no respect back"

Liverpool fans can continue to defend their actions but the reason they have to is because it is offensive to others.

Without going into the reasons, I’m not sure I agree that you think it’s OK to boo the anthem but then complain if someone else protests against something you believe in.

Maybe the palace fans who disrupted the silence are extremely patriotic English who didn’t like the anthem being booed?

And to be clear, I do not agree with disturbing any silence to remember someone who has passed. Like always, it seems to be a case of the minority getting the coverage they want.

The reasons why some Liverpool fans or even people from Liverpool boo the anthem is very much deep rooted for decades - I have no issues with their reasons behind it

For me people should always show respect for people that have passed away regardless and don’t think the two should be connected

But it’s times imo to stop playing the anthem and also to have minutes applause - it solves both issues

There was a bit of a scuffle after Ipswich scored - and a fan decided to get involved

I don’t think it’s right to try and tell people to do that

My opinion is that if at been a league match then there would have been a perfectly observed minutes silence, because there is no tribal animosity between these clubs.

The way this country is at the moment a certain demographic were always going to respond this way, and if you were honest you must have known it was coming. So don’t pretend it’s tribalism it’s an entirely predictable response to what had happened immediately before it.

Enjoy! And just remember: if you win, it’s another trophy. If you lose, it’s a meaningless, glorified, pre-season friendly!

Thanks for the reminder. For anyone who wasn’t sure… it’s good to get minutes in the legs!
