Reply To: Liverpool fans booing the anthem
“Unlike say, Manchester United fans who call for their supporters to own the club, no such call for Liverpool to be owned by its fans.”
There are thousands of Man U fans who are doing somersaults at the thought of their club being owned by either a Middle Eastern Company or by multi billionaire capitalist Jim Ratcliffe.
I also think that the booing was more of a statement of disillusion with the establishment, Thatcher’s plan to let Liverpool die on the vine and the ongoing anger about Hillsborough, rather than not being happy with Mr Charles Windsor and his second wife being given a stupid looking hat.
There aren’t many fans of professional football (or professional sport for that matter) who can claim the moral high ground.
