I agree with your point Cinco - living in Spain since 92, I've never attended the service but would like to go to pay my respects one day and hopefully take my daughter so she can fully understand about our Club's history etc.

I must admit I cringed when some of the crowd started singing Rafa's song... not the time or the place - a bit of a circus as you put it. It ought to be far more respectful.

I was talking about this last night in the pub to a few mates who went to the memorial. They did say there was a lot of people who were just there to 'rubberneck', a lot of that was to do with it being school holidays no doubt, a lot of 15 year old WAG wannabes wolf whistling the players apparently.

To a certain extent I can understand the singing of 'Liverpool, we love you' and I could even have understood a short burst of 'Dalglish' as he was magnificent to the families at that time.

I just didn't like the cheers for the current players and the Rafa chant, even Rafa looked a bit sheepish afterwards I thought.

But I suppose there's no single way to pay respects, many people there may have seen it as a celebration of the Liverpool fans and felt that singing Liverpool songs is something the 96 would have liked. It's not for me though i'm afraid.

Yes there are different ways of paying respect but at the same time you have to respect what the occasion is about. Not everyone shows there respect by a minutes silence but every time it is put up, it is observed impeccably. This should be the same.
