Presumably they were absolute "scum." |  |

A few in the media said they were perfect, with a few people shouting out.
However, you see the videos on Twitter and it was way more than a few shouting…
Even the bloke in NS upper that was offended by the big Union Jack we draped down because ‘that’s not my flag’ even he didn’t boo, albeit did turn his back on the mind silence |  |

Shout out to the bloke near me last night who thought that singing national anthem was a competitive process, and then spent most of the first half checking his phone to see if Liverpool fans misbehaved. I think he was more pleased to see reports of some idiots there than he was with our first half performance.
As an anti monarchist myself, I took the more respectful approach of honouring the minutes silence (an old lady died) but just continuing the silence through the anthem.
I was more engaged for the Marcus Stewart tribute on 11 minutes. [Post edited 14 Sep 2022 8:21]

…fair enough.
Good effort. | |

Daily Mail are saying 'isolated boos'.

So, presumably just literally one, given how keen the foreign owned, non-tax paying, Hitler supporting, BBC, NHS, RNLI and National Triust hating Mail are on being showing for British Institutions and displays of patriotism. [Post edited 14 Sep 2022 10:46]

Personally, I feel the minute’s silence is always asking for trouble. Why not do a minute’s applause or simply just sing the National anthem to drown out those that don’t want to conform? |  |

If recent history is an indication, the anthem would have been more risk than a silence. |  |

People are really getting quite weird about this.
I'd take Liverpool fans any day of the week over, say, Millwall, Leeds or Chelsea. | |

What I will never understand and what pissed me off considerably was when their fans booed Abide With Me at the Cup Final. Were they just thickos who had no idea what they were booing? I don’t particularly care if they boo the anthem, not that I would myself. |  |

I think the one girl caught inadvertently sums it up.
Trying to observe the silence, hears a boo, finds it funny. | |

Around me most people didn't sing the national anthem. I think that was more because they weren't sure if they should be singing GTSQ or GSTK though! |  | | |

My highlight was the North Stand getting ahead of the tune to try and give it that Wembley vibe. | |

I'd certainly feel safer with my kids at a Liverpool game than those other teams that you mentioned.
But that's not to say that failing to get through half of a minute's silence without the ref giving up is impressive. It may be that the same happens at other games in the forthcoming week - I don't have any desire to single out Liverpool. |  | | |

It lasted 24 seconds and plenty of morons shouting. |  |

I don’t understand why scousers are viewed as not seeing themselves as English. I was in a Liverpool city centre pub (admittedly around ten years ago) and England were playing - there were plenty of scousers being excited for England. Some must have been Liverpool fans. |  | | |

There was someone behind me who thought it his duty to make up for the rest us trying to be silent but respectful.
Felt a little like when you go to a wedding and pretend to mumble along to All Things Bright and Beautiful and hope no one is looking. |  | | |

Both myself and my brother had All Things Bright and Beautiful deliberately at both of our weddings, simply based on the fact that the third verse starts "The purple headed mountain".
The vicar at my wedding stopped us and asked for "some decorum" | |

Yeah I know that but not all Liverpool fans are anti-English. And booing the anthem doesn’t make someone anti-English. | | | |

Everyone is forgetting that Liverpool fans have organised a successful city-wide boycott of The Sun for over 30 years, so the Murdoch aligned media, populated as it is with "Tell it like it is" opinion writers, has a permanent target on the heads.
And because they make Liverpool fans behaviour a talking point, the rest of our 24 hours media then jumps on board.
Unless you have a particular reason to dislike Liverpool fans, you are being played.
I remember people on here having a go at Liverpool for giving a sh1t when an aid worker from the city was kidnapped by ISIS/Daesh and beheaded on video. The city of Liverpool was mocked for an outpouring of grief.
The Sun imprinted a lot of (later proven to be utterly false) beliefs about Liverpool fans into the national consciousness after Hillsborough.This added to the trauma of the event for those who were present. And then ran insidious "why can't they just move on" think pieces for decades afterwards as the Families fought for justice.
So another way of viewing exactly the same sequence of events is to ask "Why do the media always have somebody there to specifically report on the behaviour of Liverpool fans? And why do they speculate about their behaviour beforehand?" | | | |

On a related note (we’ll sort of). I was in Liverpool last year and in front of one of the museums there’s a little green ‘park’ area. I was sitting down on one of the benches which inscription read that ‘it was an anti-Sun bench’. I was there for a fair few minutes thinking why would anyone object to the actual sun. Then I cottoned on that it meant the newspaper. | | | |

All seems a bit of a vicious circle to me, but I'm simple. If Liverpool play some team with big monarchist leanings soon, I guess that'll see the next stage. |  |
