Liverpool protest ?

[exigo]

I quite liked the silent protest I saw on YouTube with one of the Swedish teams. Full house, but it was eerily quiet for a set period of time before they all started going mental with their support.

I think a silent protest would be very easy to organise.
 

Like the first 75 minutes of the Sunderland game?

I like the cardboard arrows pointing at the goal idea. If they all said Lambert Out, even better.

And maybe the lower Trinity can have some that point away from the home dugout.

I'll turn up and watch the full 90 minutes in the Holte End. My guess is that most people will do the same.

That was very good, but did it ultimately achieve anything? What was impressive was getting both sets of fans to be silent for the first 10 mins.

That's brilliant, PWS.

I can't see how the protest will work. In fact it's obvious it won't. A silent protest or fans turning their back on the game for one minute would have a far highly chance of succeeding.

I think everyone will get behind the team. - just the increased media attention has added a sense of focus to the game. If the team give 100% (or as Savage et al would say 110%) and look like they give a shi* about Villa then even if we lose I don't think things will get hostile.

Incidentally I had 4 tickets for the game and someone wanted to come and I easily moved to a row of 5 seats together - I was a bit surprised there were this many seats together this close to the game but maybe this isn't unusual.

Oh what a laugh the rest of us will have when we score the only two goals of the game inside the first eight minutes!

Ha ha!

We do normally start quite well in games, have a good 10-15 minutes before normal service resumes. It would be hilarious if we start like a train on fire and bag a couple, put in the best 8 minutes of the season, before we bore out the remaining 82.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I reckon there's more chance of seeing this happen at Villa Park.

[ozzjim]

We've not really been 'battered' by anybody this season. It wouldn't surprise me if we're properly taken apart a couple of times between now and May, but I'd be amazed if the team doing it is the current Liverpool side at Villa Park.

It would not have flattered Leicester had it been 5 or 6 last week. Clark was one of our better players and is out now. Baker and Okore have not had much of a chance to play together either. I could easily see a Liverpool side who have been looking slightly more lively the last couple of weeks getting 2-3 up on us and it turning very acidic this weekend.

If there is a goal on Saturday, it will only be the one.

Speaking of the £ sign protest- that culminated in the signing of JPA, who was introduced on the pitch before the Liverpool home fixture that year... dismal performance and lost 3-0. Not entirely relevant sorry, this thread just reminded me of it.
