Liverpool secured a hard-fought victory over Brentford in a match that saw Mo Salah’s goal seal the deal for the Reds at Anfield.
However, before the game, Liverpool fans made their displeasure with the establishment known by booing the national anthem played to commemorate the King’s coronation.
The Merseyside people have had their issues with the country’s establishment, and they used this moment to express their feelings.
Even before the anthem was announced, a loud chorus of boos broke out around the stadium, with those feelings being aired so audibly that the anthem itself was barely audible on TV coverage.
Football Twitter had a mixed reaction to the Liverpool fans’ jeering, with popular TV host and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan taking to the social media site to slam them for their actions.
He retweeted the clip with a caption calling Liverpool fans’ actions “pathetic.”
Despite the controversy, Liverpool managed to secure the win they needed to keep their hopes of a top 4 finish alive.
Pathetic. https://t.co/tyPZB7lkX1

Championing free speech doesn’t mean agreeing with everything you hear. Liverpool fans are perfectly entitled to boo the anthem on the day of the coronation – just as I’m perfectly entitled to call them pathetic for doing so. https://t.co/3S3vlyxzVU

Who cares what Piers Morgan thinks. Just an educated yob.
Everyone is allowed their opinion. Personally, I disagree with the actions of the Anfield crowd, but Piers Morgans opinion isn’t worth dirt on the floor.
It’s clearly worth you bothering to comment on it lad
I have no idea why this guy is ever quoted, he is about as important as Andy Pandy.
Leave Andy alone.
Im a Liverpool fan and I find it most embarrassing. A hateful grievance from the past is now passed to the young to carry on, who don’t understand. Like the Scottish living in the hateful shadow of past actions of the long time dead. On this day you could not find respect…..blame the old days. Pretty sad ……meh.
Sad day for the UK and England, the lack of pride and patriotism is probably why our country’s are so weak as we’re too frightened to be proud of what we have and who we are !!!!!!!
You need to know the reason why.
look how much it cost to stage that happening ???
If the rest of the country didn’t constantly refer to Liverpool as such slurs as “always the victim” “benefit scroungers” “bin dippers” etc, maybe they would feel part of the country a little more.. the press doesn’t help matters by only ever reporting on the negative things that happen there.. anything to sell their rags 🙄
