Liverpool protest ?

[Des Little]

It may be more effective if the midfield continued their absence from the opposition half for the full 90.

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.

Before Baker was injured and Clark came in, he was also one of our better players.

I could probably see Liverpool going a couple of goals ahead as well. It's certainly more likely than us going a couple of goals up. As Ads says, it'll probably be 1-1, 0-0 or 0-1.

But even if we lose 2-0 or even 3-0 to Liverpool, that wouldn't be a 'hammering'.

0-3 at home to a very, very average Liverpool is as good as a hammering.
That said I think it'll be a tight afternoon, they can be as bereft of ideas as us at times.

I don't think you should protest during a game. I don't think it does the team any good.

a good example of that being Blackburn when they had Kean as manager. The fans there took an instant dislike to him and never gave him a chance but in all honesty, they showed in quite a few games that they weren't that bad a team. I am pretty sure they would have stayed up if the fans had supported the team during games and had given him a chance

look at them now

Have to disagree mate !

As apposed to the excellent way the team have been playing and scoring loads of goals and grabbing three points each match, whilst the fans have been generally supportive?

The fans at home aren't supportive. Villa Park is a reaction crowd and there has been nothing to react too, so its been quiet.

I think its a distraction and booing itself never helps. We were as bad as we have been all season against Leicester so the response was probably predictable.

The best and most effective protest, if you want to do it, is to stay away.

Don't think it will work v liverpool , too many plastic scousers , tourists and day trippers will be in attendance

I've tried that one, it doesn't seem to work.

I dread to think what Carles Gil would think as he strides out to a half empty Villa park on Saturday all baying for his new manager's head. I've been in the "Lambert out" camp now for a while now, but it looks like he's here for a while longer, so time to get behind the team.

The best protest would be for all to turn up at the game five minutes after kick off, potentially causing the game to be delayed. Better if it was for a televised game.

That sounds dangerous

As does the idea of having everyone with a ticket in the Holte waiting in the concourses while the game kicks off.  It is pretty cramped on match days, so I can't imagine what it would be like if everyone is down there.  Then there is the issue of everyone trying to get to their seat at the same time.

The upper Holte must have the biggest concourses outside of Wembley. We have two decks to choose from as well.

Aston Villa supporters are being urged to 'vacate the Holte End' for the first eight minutes of the game against Liverpool in a protest against the running of the club.

That sounds a brilliant idea.

A letter posted on the www.thevillablog.co.uk/ . www.myoldmansaid.com,  and www.avillafan.com calls for fans to show a united front and vote with their feet to make a statement against the club.

What a shit idea.

The world is waiting with baited breath for The Admin's advice. Whither TBAR?

Do we need a poll on this thread? I vote no but see this as a "stalking horse" for other forms of protest which may shortly be required.

MyOldManSaid need to change their website name to payattentiontome.com

We've just signed a new player. Let's cheer him and the rest of the team on and beat Liverpool. If we play crap again, boo after the game (or during if we aren't making much effort).
