[Football] Minute's applause at all Premier League games next weekend in support of Virgil Van Dijk?

[DJ NOBO]

Following on from SkySports' sombre and touching day of tributes to the great man, it's to be hoped that all Premier League games this coming weekend will be preceded by a minutes applause for Virgil, who faces a possible five to eight months out with a knee injury.

The Liverpool Echo have just invited supporters to send their messages of support to the big number four (a tweet hastily deleted approximately two hours later when somebody finally recognised what a crushing embarrassment it was and how much ridicule they were getting). Instead they've now tweeted a message from Virgil, accompanied by some very sad backing music (not a joke).

I hope we can all join in paying our respects to the only footballer ever injured in on-field combat.

As his message suggests, the Lord will help him.
Whereas you are going to the hot room.

Thankfully the Liverpool medical staff have experience of bringing players back from the dead - Salah has made a Lazarus-esque recovery after being brutally murdered by Sergio Ramos

Will there be a vigil for Virgil?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Oh boo hoo. A player gets injured whilst playing football.....how will he live on SSP? Oh wait.....
Yes, I wish him a speedy recovery but come on?

Billy Sharp will be FURIOUS with that comment if he ever rises from the grave.

All of his you tube show reels have had the music changed to Samuel Barber's, "Adagio For Strings" in honour of the fallen. ...



Touched.

Am I allowed to clap from home - perhaps get the kids to bang the pots and pans outside the house again as they did for the NHS?

Brilliant idea, may I suggest 4am as the perfect time to do this, as an even bigger show of support for him to respect his shirt number?

If you could let me know how that goes, preferably with video evidence, that'd be grand.

Just glad Pickford didn’t take Dunk out and cripple him.

Klopp: "We will be patient and we will wait for him like a good wife who waits for her husband to get out of prison."

To be fair, that's probably an analogy that most Scousers would understand perfectly

 

[Yes Chef]

First Covid, now this, I mean, I just despair...

 

[portslade seagull]

They will probably rush him back like we did with Izzy who looked unfit when played and that will be another 6months. How will the scouser cope.

 

[A1X]

To be fair it's easily the worst thing to happen to a Virgil since that time Thunderbird 2 crashed

Quite ironic that most of the Scousers might have done time at some point. Maybe he's learning about them finally.

Did he really say that? Oh yes. Hahahahaha!

Ironic? No, just chronically inaccurate.

 

[Hampden Park]

I hope he gets the clap.

 

[mwrpoole]

Just you wait, miracles happen, he'll be playing again in 2-3 weeks......not as bad first expected.........

 

[Gazwag]

Hmm, revelling in somebodies injury on Zahaesq levels, the Liverpool obsession continues for some

Quite, I seem to remember a few got a bit upset when Solly was injured at ?Derby was it? and their fans jeered him off, wonder if they are the same ones
