I love these postmodern new age protests. There so...wacky...and unattended.

Transcript of John Aldrich's speech at the 'giant rally':

"Erm....we dont want deez Yanks to stay at dee...erm...club, do we kidda la's? Dee avnt purra penny in since day one an' starved Rafael of money and stuff...we need to buy da club oursleves and stuff...I know it's...erm....y'know...difficult to get da cash together deez days, but da Spirit of Shankly lads say if you join dee yoonyon dee 'ave a plan to make it a piece o'piss...dyer-knowarra-meanlike, lids?!"

Stirring stuff. Like Henry V at Agincourt.

Maybe instead of blowing whistles and making paper planes to get everybody aware of their "plight", they should start by letting their fans know.

Best demonstration ever.

Great turnout lads. Independence assured after this.

I've just watched my county win another Munster title (GAA/Irish lads will know what the hell I'm on about), but THAT has made my day.

And FFS, these same people reckon they can get ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND reds to donate £500 each to buy the club, when they can't even get 2% of that number to turn up for free at a rally.

I know, I cant understand the poor turnout, as they laid on music too. There was Peter Hooton of The Farm and Pete Wylie....hold on.....

A STAR-STUDDED cast is expected to attend the latest mass demonstration being held to oust Tom Hicks and George Gillett as owners of Liverpool FC.

The “Independence Day” rally tomorrow is being organised by the Spirit Of Shankly group of Reds supporters.

Among those due to attend the event on St George’s Hall plateau are Bill Shankly’s grand-daughter Karen Gill, LFC legend John Aldridge and fast-rising comedian John Bishop.

Liverpool musicians, including Ian McNabb (Icicle Works), John Power (Cast and The La’s), Peter Hooton (The Farm), and Pete Wylie (The Wah!), are also expected to be present.

Organisers said the main focus of the event would be the announcement of a supporter ownership scheme.

July 4 was chosen for the rally because it is Independence Day in the USA.

It begins at 12pm

Yes, because all this exact same crap worked for the ManU "supporters" who wanted the Glazers out.

When will football supporters learn what the term "ownership" means?

It means that they (Glazers, Hicks/Gillett, Kenwright, etc...) own the club and you don't. Therefore, you can plan all the meaningless protests you want but at the end of the day, it comes down to one inescapable fact:

It changes nothing.

I actually think that if Everton fans protested, Bill would try his uttermost to walk, hes a sensitive soul is Bill.

As much as I think hes doing a piss poor job, I would never protest, thats just silly. But I believe it would work, for 1, he isnt hiding in the US.

There's a thread on RAWK in which they are going to take action on the homefront and release a "horror" banner at a Texas Rangers game. Boy that will show them. They are going to get their asses handed to them, right Tx?

I'm hoping that some big Texan boys will lamp them all over the show. And that it gets posted on youtube for our viewing pleasure.

Singing their independance only if they have a duet with Kelis sometime soon.
