Letter: Foul play
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.WITH regard to Peter Corrigan's article 'You'll never jeer alone' (30 January), I feel there was an implication that the Liverpool supporters did not respect the minute's silence for the late Sir Matt Busby. The behaviour of the Liverpool supporters was impeccable. We know the importance of a minute's silence, unfortunately. It was the Manchester City fans whose behaviour was abhorrent. They were subsequently booed by the Liverpool fans.
Mr Corrigan seems to think that Manchester United supporters are 'hard done' by the rest of 'us'. I own a season ticket for the Anfield Road section at Liverpool and sit eight seats away from the visiting supporters. I would like to inform him that it is only Man United supporters who hold their hands to their faces, emulating the crushing of supporters at Hillsborough.
I guess the appropriate phrase would be, 'People who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones'.
