guard of honour

[gandhisflipflop]

I hope someone can enlighten me on this. We gave Liverpool the 'guard of honour' before today's game. I was under the impression that the 'guard of honour' was done by whoever the champions were playing next once confirmed? It appears Liverpool have had one every game since. When did this come in?

[ChrisG]

Is it not because they've won it so early? A lot of seasons go down to the last couple of games and therefore not many games left to do it

[MACCA]

To be fair it's not their fault....

[Vegas Claret]

look how narrow and together our guard of honor was - intimidation before we even kicked off #shithouse !

[Buxtonclaret]

Yep.
We only allowed them one way through that, as well.

I thought Bardsley tripping Salah during the Guard of Honour was uncalled for!

[Burnley1989]

We should absolutely give the guard of honour for me..

And deserved! Why would anybody dispute it! Best team in the world! And they are





And we took a point

[ClaretTony]

It's standard to offer it to a team that has already won the league. As said, doesn't usually run for so many games but really pleased we did it although not surprised given how respectful our manager is.

[IanMcL]

Deserved.
Be us next season!

[Burnley1989]

Absolutely deserve it.. best team in the world! I do think that if you put Virgil in city’s side they’d be the best in the world, he’s that good

[Steve1956]

No way would i have joined in that applause,its almost as bad as all this going down on one knee before every game....tedious

[kritichris]

If Virgil hadn't been in Liverpools's side we'd have won.

[kritichris]

Cue for another thread.. Tarkowski v VVD

[tim_noone]

If Virgil hadn't been in Liverpools's side we'd have won.

Nah... we would have lost he turned away from Jay's goal hes not that good

[RingoMcCartney]

If Virgil hadn't been in Liverpools's side we'd have won.

If Sean Dyche hadn't been our manager we'd wouldn't even be playing 'em.

[timshorts]

It's notable, though, how often sides given a guard of honour **** up. On that basis we were right to give them one.

Classy !

[tim_noone]

Tbh..... Burnley should have got it at the end.

[redwasp]

I agree with you tim. They should have stayed and clapped us off. Absolutely no respect for next years champions.

[redwasp]

I certainly am claretblue. I probably will be 'til Wednesday and goodness knows how I'll feel then.
