I was a puddle when watching it – it was a wonderful gesture from Blackburn and from Stephen Warnock. You could tell from the expression on his face and his body language that it meant something to him, too.

To echo Ray’s thanks to Blackburn fan Dave, it was extremely decent of your fans to respect the minute’s silence on Saturday. It goes to show that despite rivalries between clubs, humanity and honour are still foremost.

To Dave, the Blackburn fan. Thanks for the tribute and especially the impeccable minute’s silence from your lads and lasses.

I know 99% of fans are respectful with only a tiny minority unable to keep quiet but on TV at least it sounded to me like everyone in the ground was respectful.

When it really matters everyone can be well behaved.

Thank you Stephen for a very nice gesture of respect and remembrance.
NEW SUBJECT:-
I don’t know how other fans feel but, I do wish that Rafa would stop his war of words with Ferguson. it is unseemly, it is a waste of time and energy. the real game goes on on the field with the players and not the Managers acting like silly children.
In plain truth Rafa, you are making a fool of yourself, so please stop, show some dignity. Ferguson won’t stop but just leave it alone and let the players do your talking.

Just to say that as a Blackburn fan the tribute would have come from all ex-Liverpool players at our club- but as Diouff was ill, then it was down to Stephen Warnock to lay the wreath. Had Mr Friedel still been with us, then he would have had some part to play in this too. Great gesture though-and I believe that our fans left a similar tribute at the Hillsborough memorial before kick off. Good luck for Tuesday
