Was at the game and stayed on the concourse for the minute silence and national anthem, personal choice, was quite a few in the main stand that done the same but obviously many more than adhered to it.

Also sat for the 70th minute applause and all round us stood and clapped.

No issues, no words said. People respected each others choices. We got 3 points, move on.
 

Yes , I have lived and worked in different parts of the UK , I have suffered prejudice due to my accent on several occasions, casual jokes about being a thief , probably the only other community that suffers this is the travelling community.
Still happens now. Managed to get a lovely company car and when I drive to customers around the country I still get the usual “surprised it’s not on bricks by yours” crap. Proper 70s stereotypes. Just like white noise now.
 
It's not really about if your a royalist or not, myself didn't mind the Queen, but wouldn't lose any sleep if I went to bed and we were a republic,in the morning .
It's about respect.
You should respect someone has died, and even if you had a view on them just keep it yourself keep quite It's not hard.
It's about respect for the club who will get the stick for any bad publicity.
It about respect for your fellow fans who might want to show it even if you dont.
would you start to boo outside a church if someone you disliked died , because you would look a right knob.
Why do it at a ground in front of the national TV/press?
In modern life there is always somebody trying to be the odd one out, look at me ect.
It doesn't make you a bootlicker to have some manners and self respect.
It’s because it’s fashionable to do so; it’s became the slogan of the city et al. based on what they hear their peers say/spout or whatnot.

I have no issue with people being a Republican or disagreeing with a monarchy, and I’ll happily have a discussion over views. But this wasn’t that.

This was, in the mainstay, people wanting to boo but probably being unable to articulate why beyond their mate telling them to do so.

Common decency doesn’t cost much, but it’s worth everything.

It’s a poor stereotype and needs banishing, but as a born and bred scouser I’m not unaware to the fact that the legacy is to some extent built on truth.

The city doesn’t always help itself through its actions, which others then exploit.

What about the predujice scousers inflict on people from the woollyback community some of it borders on hate crimes in my book

It also gives them a bit of meaning to their own pathetic sad lives.Makes them feel better about themselves.
Normal civilized people just think they’re dicks

In Ireland people make those sort of jokes about Limerick. Stab City was a phrase that the Irish media coined for it.

The reality though is that just like Liverpool it's a great city with very down to earth people, and it's way safer than Dublin as well.
