Whaaat Liverpool always do You’ll Never Walk Alone so Why do people think it’s disrespectful? If they were singing like a song for one of their players over the tribute yeah that would be out of line but YNWA is meant as a show of support surely? What a reach!.

To be fair it was mainly just idiots on twitter who were probably trying to be edgy for likes, but it’s still so weird and it’s even funnier because they claim that we are “always the victims” yet were moaning over that. When we sang it after Ronaldo’s little baby passed away he said himself that him & his family were grateful for it and would never forget it, so to imply that it was sang for any other reason than out of pure respect is ridiculous.

duck, I didn’t realise his family were at the game 💔 I’ve seen a few people saying it was disrespectful for us to sing YNWA because we were apparently trying to make it all about us, but surely anyone with a brain knows it was done out of respect. One listen to the lyrics of the song and they should see that, I can’t stop thinking about his children 😔

I saw that at the beginning. Was that his wife too. Can't imagine the pain they're going through 😞😢
Personally I don't like it when crowds clap or sing when they're doing a mark of respect. I understand why they do it but I prefer a moment of silence. But that's just me.

See I actually prefer a minutes applause than a minutes silence, means you are celebrating the life of the person. The newcastle fans started the applause as well and the rest just followed on, I thought it was a really nice moment. A few people said the same that they would have preferred a minute silence but at the end of the day it was still a nice & respectful tribute with luckily no idiots.

I think the issue (from what I’ve read on twitter from newcastle fans anyway!) was that it was supposed to be a minutes silence but then there was clapping and YNWA, so I guess it just wasn’t made clear whether the moment was meant to be silent or a minutes applause! I hate YNWA anyway (i hated it in Carousel too lol) but I get why it was sang. I guess it just depends on the moment

Nope, newcastle were the ones who clapped first so it was never going to be a minutes silence from then on. Anyway, i’m just glad everyone was respectful and that his family were there to see it.

That’s what I meant sorry, not phrased properly by me 😅 Newcastle fans clapped/there was clapping and it went from there! It obviously wasn’t clear from the offset whether it was applause or silence, I thought I’d heard moments silence on tv like, but I personally wouldn’t be having a go at Liverpool fans or calling it disrespectful. *I get why people would be annoyed though but it really doesn’t need to be that deep*

I was surprised his family were there tbh, I’d of thought they’d of been in Turkey too or living with him unless they stayed living in Newcastle whilst he played. When they showed them on the tv, that made me really sad
