Don’t see anything wrong with it tbh. Nothing to get upset over anyway.
Liverpool's chanting of You'll Never Walk Alone as tribute to the deceased

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Make someone else's tragedy all about you. The Ronaldo one was especially sickening because the vapid press and media all predictably lapped it up.
Sorry I just find nothing wrong with it, I even find it a bit nice. They don't need to do it like they didn't need to do it for Ronaldo. It comes from the right place.
i’ll lead the rendition when @horsechoker is banned for grievous bodily noncing.
"you'll never nonce alone" can and will incriminate you
I'll be the falsetto.
Nothing wrong with that
Strange thing to get hung up over imo.
I'm no avid fan of it, but their intentions seem harmless.

fecking odd lot
that’s how they got glitter in the end.
we’ve got the choir boys for that.
Aren't we supposed to sing because Horsy got to them?
I think it's a class act, myself. It's a song that means a lot to them, and they're extending it as a sign of respect to the cause. The words offer comfort in the context, too.
We can shake our heads at how they make it all about themselves, sure. But in issues like these where footballing rivalries seem insignificant, however, I'd like to look at the gesture positively.

he’s getting on a bit, there’s no way he’ll get them all before the police arrive.
Having worked for many years in Liverpool, I think the intentions are decent and come from the right place, even if things sometimes seem overly-sentimental.
Does anyone else remember when the Grand National was cancelled in 1997 due to a bomb threat, and people were stranded in Liverpool unable to return to their cars? A significant number of ordinary people opened their homes to folk, so they wouldn't have to spend a night outside. It was a real gesture of community spirit.
I know we don't like their football team, but we should always be pleased when rival fans put that aside for things which are bigger than football.

True but they did also start a book of condolence for a chicken one time.
When I go to funerals I'm going to start singing Crossroads by Bone Thugs whether I'm asked to or not.
If this is their way of paying respects to the dead then so be it, no issue here.
As long as you were told to be silent or clap and the song means alot to you, by all means.

They sing that silly song over everything. Win - YAWN, Lose - YAWN, Win a corner - YAWN, Sun Rises - YAWN, Sun Sets - YAWN, Boss asks them to do something - YAWN, Turd gets flushed - YAWN.
Wow. This is a very very weird thread.
This is a huge sign of respect from the Liverpool fans. The song that means the most to them and we're singing it for christian Atsu, I'm baffled by the negative comments in here.

I'll never forget how they let Karius walk alone after that CL final performance. It's all about them as always.
It's hard wired in me to fecking hate that song and roll my eyes whenever I hear it but this isn't a big deal I don't think.
That was floral tributes if I recall correctly! An example of the sentimentality, but well-intentioned.
The song might mean a lot to Liverpool fans, but it's self-indulgent to think that Newcastle fans or Atsu's family would've appreciated it.
By saying it's a "huge sign of respect from the Liverpool fans" come across as very arrogant, like we should be grateful to have that sung at us.
It's absolutely fine.
I don't understand what the problem is
Am I wrong in thinking you always sing it just before kick off so singing it at that time is when you'd normally sing it anyway?
So when your team was down and out and the supporters from Liverpool showed compassion for Ronaldo a lot of supporters on here viewed that as classy but now that you are back around the top 4 you see the gesture from your rivals as selfish. No matter if you think it’s a little self serving the bottom line is they showed respect. Maybe I’m too old to have petty and cynical thoughts like yours but I can see how people are ABUs after reading that.
On earth are you talking about?
How well either team is doing has zero to do with it. Irrelevant.And not many on here thought it was classy at the time either. If you wanted to be called classy you could have just applauded him or sang his name.
Certainly not "classy" posting during a United game.
Nah. Complaining about a good gesture is pretty bad no matter how it was done. But I can see there’s no point with discussing it with people who have the mindset that it was self serving and selfish. Not a good look for them and that’s all I’m gonna say about it.On earth are you talking about?

The midget nearly scored a header
Moby you can get stomped by Obie
Imagine being sad enough to outrage over something like this.
If that song inspired them to 6 UCL and 19 EL, I think it is some how special.
They don't sing it away from home before games.
Ok cool thanks
A song doesn’t inspire you to success like that. It is the hard work on and off the pitch. Else everyone will be a success based on songs that inspired them. I would probably be as rich as Musk if I just listen and sing Lose Yourself by Eminem every day.
Came to say this.
And a lot faster as well
Meanwhile we got glory glory Man Utd a song about USA civil war. You never walk alone was also sang at OT first as well.
