Armbands at Goodison tonight - anyone know why?

[Bluejuice]

Tried to find out but the first thing Google chucked up was

The Gaffer >> Merseyside clubs’ new kits to include permanent black armbands

Still funny but I'm genuinely curious now

Lack of snowfall in Merseyside compared to the rest of the country.

Following Steven Gerrards hamstring injury this evening, there will be a minutes silence at Anfield before their next home game against Manchester City, in fond remembrance of their 2009 title hopes. Wreaths are invited to be laid before the Shankly Gates, and there will be a short service at St Peters Chapel, Anfield Road, following the final whistle.

Would Brighton players wear armbands if Ian Hart died

Would Brighton players wear armbands if Ian Hart died

I hope they won't get the chance for many years......

But I would imagine there would be some kind of gesture when either Tony Millard or John Vinicombe goes to the press box in the sky.

In fact if Mr 0898 goes before Falmer I have to do him a freebie funeral as part of an lager induced wager many years ago.

I presume he was a very close friend or relative?

Otherwise CALM DOWN chap or it could be you next!

Blimey if nobody was allowed to make a joke about a dead bloke they'd never met or for that matter heard of the world would be well boring (and Sickipedia would only need half the storage it currently uses)

It was Everton's way of remembering Liverpool's title challenge,which has come to an abrupt halt.
