Why were the lads told to take the banner down at the front of the kop yesterday by the police?? What differance to them does it make? Cant be because of health & safety as there have been loads before and nothin said!! That little cnut must have told the police to whip it down, whatever happened to freedom of speech and all that.......
It's part of a pattern. I'd say within the next 3 years or so all banners/flags will be banned from the ground. Football as i knew it is dead and has been for a while now TBH.
Exactly. I think in around 4 years or so no banners will be allowed to be brought in to the ground and we will all be given free plastic flags.
Don't think banners will be banned! In this instance the banner was something about the yanks so i'm sure they were instructed by that cnut gillete. He was probably p*ssed off at the SOS protest at the back of the directors box!
What they did yesterday was fundamentally wrong. The reason they told us to take those banners down was because they considered them to be an obstruction. How is this an obstruction.. And yet this isn't.. Not only are LFC using an image of our non obstruction for the Proey but they are selling photo's of it.. http://liverpoolfc.allsportgallery....paisley&Team=Liverpool&Count=10&Start=0&End=9
double standards Why cant they just be honest with yous and say the little yanky prick is 'upset' by the banners and told us to get rid of them
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Tony Barrett Neither George Gillett Jr nor Tom Hicks, the co-owners of Liverpool, is expecting imminent investment in the club from Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud, a member of the Saudi Royal Family, despite reports to the contrary over the weekend. Hicks and Gillett are in ongoing talks with a number of potential third-party investors as they seek first to reduce Liverpool’s £250 million debt and second to bring in the kind of sizeable cash injection needed to finance the club’s move from Anfield to a long-planned new stadium on nearby Stanley Park. Prince Faisal, who visited the club’s academy in Kirkby on Saturday before attending Liverpool’s home match against Hull City, is the latest potential investor to express an interest in taking a stake in the club and his public admission to this effect has come as a surprise to Hicks in particular, but also to Gillett. According to a report in Saudi Al-Riyadh, the newspaper, Prince Faisal, who chairs Fama Group, the Saudi holding company, and the F6 Sports Investment Firm, is willing to take a stake in Liverpool of up to 50 per cent for a fee in the region of £200-350 million. The high-profile nature of his reported interest, which began on Friday night with a news item on television in Saudi Arabia, has taken the Liverpool hierarchy aback, particularly Gillett who invited Prince Faisal to Merseyside as his guest to open negotiations about proposed Nascar and Liverpool academy initiatives in the Middle East. Gillett is holding talks with a number of interested parties at present and, as yet, there is still to be an official approach from Prince Faisal or any other members of the Saudi Royal Family. In the past two years, Hicks and Gillett have entertained a number of potential investors at Anfield, but a deal is yet to materialise and The Times understands that Gillett held talks with another interested party in London last night. Gillett’s visit to Merseyside was not without controversy as members of the Spirit Of Shankly (SOS) fans group, which has long been opposed to his and Hicks’s regime, protested against the American ownership of Liverpool at the club’s Melwood training ground. An attempt to stage a similar protest at Anfield during the Hull game was stifled when flags and banners criticising Hicks and Gillett were seized by Merseyside Police shortly after they were unfurled in the Kop stand.
Brilliant! Didn't see it myself, was up in 208. Just seen the police floating about! Yank cnut must have told the stewards who didn't have the b*lls to do it themselves
this is brilliant, and needs to be kept up on a weekly basis The protests are being noticed now That with a "potential buyer"... (hoping!) ... they see that the clubs in a state, the fans arent happy. I just hope SOS address the fact that they are representing a lot of people, and a lot of people are unhappy - banning people from Anfield will blow up in their face.
