Liverpool protest ?

[tomd2103]

As for the protest, if some fans want to show their displeasure at things, as long as it is peaceful then so be it. I would rather they didn't at the risk of affecting the team but something has to give.

To be honest, if you pay your money and you are in the ground, then you can do what you like.I think its unfair that people who do not attend (for whatever reason) should pass comment on those supporters who may be showing their concerns.

Can you?  I seem to remember some banners asking for the removal of McLeish during his tenure being quickly taken down by stewards.  It will be interesting to see what happens if any banners decrying Lmabert are unfurled tomorrow.

TalkShite - Exclusive - Given pleads with Aston Villa fans: 'We need you behind us'

Yes, I see how that reads.
I didn't mean you can do what you like in that way. I meant you can decide whether you want to join in or not.

That said, I do think the 'protest' is set up to fail, but at least it has raised the profile of peoples concerns.

I can see both sides of that. Yes, you should be allowed to protest but if your banners are causing the sort of scenes we had a bit of at Leicester last week then it becomes a public order issue.

I can sympathise with Lambert in one respect and that is that he has been financially restricted for the last three years, he has on the whole bought well and it would have been interesting to see how he would have got on with a bigger purse but balance that against his persistance in playing narrow, only having one game plan and setting negative records that will last a lifetime he really has to go.

Maybe he should stick to scouting with another team because he can't manage.

I hope that isn't directed at me. As I said if people feel they need to make their feelings known they should in a peaceful way. Passing comment shouldn't be reserved to those only going to games, and especially not on an internet message board where we discuss all and sundry from the comfort of a keyboard.

Why is it? I've been to about 10 games so far this season but am not going tomorrow due to finances. Does that mean I can't give my opinion on the protest if I want to?

No mate, it was definitely NOT aimed at you. Apologies if it came over like that.

I think anyone can give their comment on the protest.
I just don't think any should comment on the people who will be doing the protesting (or not, as the case may be).

On talksport this morning they had the definite impression the protest was against Lerner and not aimed at the management/coaching at all.

Has something been lost in getting the message across or have I got the wrong end of the stick? I thought it was mostly Lambert and his crappy football we were all pissed off with?

Lambert's comments spun it as a protest against Lerner and the media have evidently swallowed that line.

If it is being positioned as this 8 minute thing then isn't against Lerner more so than specifically the current situation?

It's not really a shock that they can't even make it clear what the protest is about. That's aimed at the ones organising it rather than those taking part who know what they want to protest about.

[Clampy]

I can only presume that they're directing their angst towards Lerner in the hope that he'll either plough more money in or sack Lambert. I think......
