You have to admit booing a choir with Sickle Cell Disease on probably one of the biggest day of their lives is pretty shameful though?
Is that right? Disgusting if so.

It was very noticeable and imo repugnant before the FA Cup final. Shame, I always had a soft spot for Liverpool but then every club has it’s share of A. R. Soles.
LFC fans have done it for a long time. Hillsborough is a big moment but the establishment has not always been kind to this city. An establishment that is out for itself, that constantly lies to the public.

Also, let's not forget that only a few days ago the dukes dad was sat on a gold thrown telling people to suck it up about the cost of living crisis while his mum sat off in one of her palaces following paying off a lady who had made horrid accusations about her son.

Maybe we should feel sorry for the Duke who was clearly the best candidate to be chairman of the fa.

As others have said, worse things happened in football stadia this weekend, but plenty of rags have jumped on the fa cup final as it distracts from the horror show that is what their pay masters are up to.

You look at those claiming outrage and it's the same people who thought taking the knee was wrong, or that rashford should stick to football.

If only the same outrage was directed at our government for many things from the growth in cold poverty to shifting refugees off to Rwanda or the whole brexit fiasco which was all about making their mates money.

The fact we won the cup and pissed off the right types of people is a bonus for many in the city.

Much like booing at other countries National Anthems, which England fans do and pretty odds on that's fans from all different clubs, a few behaviours are not reflective of all fans.

Liverpool fans booing the National Anthem may have been going on for a long time but that doesn’t make it right. Establishment not kind to your city? Please explain how Liverpool has been disadvantaged compared to other cities.

You’re obviously not a Royalist. Fair enough but most of the country still love the royal family.

The FA Cup final is a very major sporting event this weekend for the whole country and certainly the most important match of the weekend. It’s no wonder the booing was reported.

if you are eager to learn more, Google it. I'm not dodging the question but there is a lot to cover and it would take me a long time to note it down, a long time for you to read, and you'd likely want to read more yourself to form your own opinion. Many of those who have been most outspoken against the boos know exactly why they happen, but don't mention them. You don't have to dig too deep though.

Long, detailed article into the booing.

You may or may not buy into the reasoning.

May be behind a paywall for some readers - it was yesterday when I checked but today seems to be accessible.

The CL final is being shown at the M&S arena announced today. No Anfield screening as they are limited to 4/5 none football events a year and run pop concerts on that quota.

That’s over 40 years ago. There’s been a lot of investment and rejuvenation in Liverpool since then.

After his penalty save on Saturday to win us the FA Cup, it's a year ago today that Alisson scored the 95th minute header at West Brom to help us qualify for the CL.

Our season could've been very different without that.

Money well spent despite others scoffing at his price tag.

There's no other keeper in world football I'd rather have.
That header could be pivotal in us winning the ahem.

Steven Gerrard to gift Liverpool the Premier League though. Can you imagine the scenes? The headlines are already being written! Coutinho or Ings with a 94th minute strike, deflected off a City player to count as an OG, VAR review for offside which it clearly is but they rule it onside because, well, it's VAR. A man can dream.

Is there a collective chip on the Liverpool shoulder?
