Wasn’t there.
100% would have booed if I was.

Easy really, I’m sort of colour blind and can only see blue and white stripes
Not sure it’s a great idea to draw Mohammed…..
As long as its on the inside of a paper bag, it's fine.

Silly old bat
There’s a big difference between acknowledging champions of the league and venerating them. Venerating means worshipping.
i would hope we are capable of good sportsmanship as our club does, by providing a guard of honour. Two mins of applause is not much.
Fans on NSC were quick to moan when Southampton refused to give us a guard of honour in 2011, but thank Huddersfield for doing so.
If you didn’t want to applaud fair enough, but booing is silly.
After kick off, during the game is a different matter. That’s when the pantomime starts.

I have very rarely booed anyone but when I did it was for specific things not for achievements even if they weren't ours.

can’t stand this kind of post. it’s creeping more and more into the modern game. Things like “Well done Palace, even though we hate you” or “Your city’s blue just like Brighton” when we’re away at City… what are we doing? The English game was built on tribalism, intensity, and a bit of needle. Yeah, it’s not actual hatred most of the time, we all get that. But it’s meant to be fierce. That edge is what makes it.
Honestly, I hate to say it, but I wish we had a bit more of that northern grit half the time. Football is still football up there.
Our away fans “get it” but at home we are a joke sometimes.

Honestly, I couldn't give a shiny shìte about Liverpool or their achievements. I was there to support the Albion. Each to their own but I'd say about 20k in the stadium spontaneously felt the same. The veneration post comes from the idea that you 'have' to do it, or as the original poster suggested it's 'tinpot'.
I think its tinpot to meekly acquiesce. Can you imagine Fenerbahce doing it for Galatasaray etc. Extreme example, but it is just an example.
We're there to play a competitive match against them not give them the thumbs up.
I'm glad the note of resistance followed through to how we played too.

Mostly it was applause. Some boo'd, not many, but it was short lived & panto stuff. Really not something to get upset about.

Save the Guard of Honour for military bollocks where some disinterested Head of state is pretending to look at shiny shoes and funny hats.
Liverpool can have their celebration this weekend. Stick Cilia on the tannoy, old episodes of Bread on the big screen and wheel out Jimmy Corkhill to present the trophy. Why we have to pretend to join in with their celebration is beyond me.

Or visa versa (Obviously won’t be happening anytime soon though).Imagine Champions Liverpool going to Man Utd just after they had won the league, do you think the United fans would have given them a standing ovation?

W3H? If so, I am sorry.
Let’s get this right, we’re tin pot for not applauding the league winners?
Perhaps we can make amends by applauding the FA Cup winners when we play them next season.
Help me out here.

Nice and loud in N1H - they've already had one of this nonsense, and they will have the important one at home on Sunday.. utter bollocks we gave it to them as well
It is a bit sanctimonious isn’t it?
Out of interest were you there? If not don't question those that bothered to go. THAT'S TINPOT
Balls to them.
Firstly they've not just this second won it. They've already had two matches with a guard of honour. One is enough, celebrate at your home ground all you like, have the open top bus and all that jazz but continually going away and getting fawned over? f*** that.
Second it could easily encourage such groups as The Brighton Kop and that brings shame on the entire sport.
Third some simpering wealthy middle class man who lives in Brighton having moved from nowhere near f***ing Liverpool, with a name like Hugo, will harp on about how you have to admire Liverpool with their history and passion and yada yada yada. No I f***ing don't, fat kids in Liverpool tops were pissing me off way before a billion man United ****s started doing it.
Fourth - At the Amex I had a grown man get up in front of me and go get Gerrard's autograph while he was warming up and come back excited and beaming about it. He did give up his ST a couple of years later but I still had to look at the back of his head and resist the urge to slap him upside it for many hours if my life. The shameful melt.
