The lads at RAOTL are organizing an unofficial minutes silence at anfield when we play Arsenal in the FA Cup 3rd Round, in a protest for justice.

Nothing is confirmed yet but:

we ask you all to take part in a minutes silence as soon as the whistle is blown to start the game.

In light of Kelvin MacKenzie's recent comments regarding the behaviour of Liverpool fans at Hillsbrough in 1989, it is the perfect opportunity to raise awareness of the real facts of 15th April 1989.

96 Liverpool fans lost their lives that day through poor policing and crowd control, despite what certain sections of the media tried to portray. The real TRUTH but the blame for that day firmly at the feet of South Yorkshire Police, as found in court.

We ask you to remain silent for one minute at the start of play, before joining in with chants of JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE.

Definetly.

It's scandalous what was said.

This seems like a good Idea. But I would hope that club are informed and perhaps the travelling Ar.se fans could join-in to really make it effective. Could I suggest whoever is organsising this does this.

Justice, justice, juctice !

Sounds reallly good and would have everyone talking about it, but for it to work the gunners fans are going to have get on board.

Good idea.

Will the gooners be up for that, though?

I am in the process of visiting their boards as I speak. I will hopefully try to get them on board. However a lot of match goers don't visit this board, or the other Liverpool boards so I think its going to need a bit of help, maybe flyers or a call to the Echo or the Daily Post.

I don't know who has started this in RAOTL but it is something I would be very willing to help out in anyway I can.

It's absolutely disgraceful how long this has dragged on and we need to make a statement. An un-offical minutes silence will bring press attention to our fight that still goes on today.

JFT 96!!

dont know if anyones mentioned this:

tell you what though, what better time to kick up some long overdue and unavenged retribution than now.....all the eyes of the world will be focused on Liverpool FC during this ongoing takeover....time for the people involved to hammer the message home taking advantage of all the inevitable publicity that will surround the events. These Arabs will get more than a measure of what this club means to its loyal supporters and well they might take notice. I say capitalise on it now! while the window of opportunity is wide open, as the world bears witness to the reinvention of this great club. If the D.I.C/Makhtoum organisation are frightened off by a 'show of strength' demanding Justice for the 96....they really need to re-evaluate where they are coming from. What irony, the Gunners also being controlled by a Dubai based consortium - Emirates. Perhaps they too, will take the opportunity to show their suitors their true colours. Hope springs eternal that their club willingly might cast aside tribal indifferences, for a period of reflection and heartfelt co-operation. The issue is beyond trivial matters such as the insignificance of individual football rivalry between fans. It is about the injustice and evil contempt for ordinary HUMAN BEINGS. and followers of ALL denominations must unite in bringing about the rightful conclusion to their long, hard fought and painful 17 year exile from peace.
