Disappointed that there seems to be a negative tone on Twitter. That because he hasn't turned it down and shit on the steps of Buckingham palace he's doing a disservice to Liverpool.

[Ne Moe Imya]

So is he now the Knight King?

[Em City]

The man is perfectly entitled to accept it if he wishes.

 

No man alive is more worthy.

I haven't looked yet but for fucks sake, people are fucking bellends.

 

He sounds really happy about it and that is the most important thing, and in my own opinion is well overdue, his work after Hillsborough is second to none. That should have done it alone. Now after the work he does with Marina's charity being recognised more so.

 

Its not about "establishment" its about recognising what he did 30 years ago and ever since.

 

"Sir Kenny", I like that.

[KMD7]

Plenty of positivity on Twitter about it as well too Paulie.  Henry Winter has a great piece on the Times about it.  At work so can't embed it. 

 

David Beckham must be well pissed off he didn't get it so that's also a good thing

[KMD7]

Can't remember exactly but didn't the families of the Hillsborough victims want him to receive a knighthood for all he had done in the aftermath also? 

[manwiththestick]

Fair enough. Anything that makes him happy is alright by me.

 

Each to their own though. Some people consider it lucky when a bird shits on them. I don't.

It's definitely not lucky, you just have to pay extra.

[KMD7]

What a guy

[manwiththestick]

Why are her legs so dark? Is she wearing tights? And why does she have one dirty sock? Really bad planning here.

[an tha]

Who photoshopped Mo Farah's legs onto the bird....

[Karl_b]

We. Us. Our. Family.

 

The humility that the King continues to show in receipt of such an award exemplifies why he, of all people I can think of, deserves this. Regardless of any personal view on the honours system or its flaws, this clearly means something to Kenny, his family and the many, many people who's lives he's touched and improved. We can respect and honour him as a club and individuals in many ways but this national recognition of a truly great man should be celebrated.

 

What a leg.

[Ginny]

Don’t like the royal family. Don’t like Kenny kneeling for some cunt either.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Long overdue recognition, if he is happy to accept it is no one else's business.

 

Long live the King!

[Bjornebye]

Love him regardless but it doesn't sit right with me. I just don't believe in it. Not gonna Slag him off because he is my hero.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Thought that was Scott Brown!

[Bjornebye]

Thought that was Scott Brown!

Arise.

[Greycellgreen]

Barring my Father, Kenny is the greatest living male on the planet. Whether he’s been recognised by people in authority means fuck all, if it makes him happy, it makes me happy. Whoever has a problem with this are dicks, Kenny doesn’t and he’s better than all of us.

[Baltar]

I'm gobsmacked it's taken this long. They couldn't wait to hand out a knighthood to the likes of Ferguson and Charlton, and Kenny just gets one now, after children like Mo Farrah and Andy Murray were given one. Absolutely ridiculously overdue, that's my main beef with this. But if Kenny wants this award, then I'm delighted for him, nobody more deserving of such an honour. 

[Jairzinho]

*Shrugs*

 

Bit disappointing, but oh well.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Arse.

[magicrat]

Kenny seems comfortable with it and whilst the whole honours system is a joke any recognition of his service and contribution to the game is ok in my book. 

[VladimirIlyich]

*Shrugs*

 

Bit disappointing, but oh well.

Very disappointing in my eyes. He most likely has his reasons but it doesn't sit right with me as the honours system is a load of elitist and corrupt shite,but watcha gonna' do?

[Section_31]

Disappointed that there seems to be a negative tone on Twitter. That because he hasn't turned it down and shit on the steps of Buckingham palace he's doing a disservice to Liverpool.

It's a load of bollocks, that's slacktivism culture for you, 99.9% of them would take it up the arse from Edward if he paid them enough while still extolling their anti establishment credentials on Twitter.

[s(k)aturation]

Don’t like the royal family. Don’t like Kenny kneeling for some cunt either.

 

 

Knowing how Kenny feels about Liverpool and football, I wouldn't be surprised if - when he kneels - he will actually be doing it in deference to and respect for the club, people and victims that he keeps graciously insisting he's been privileged to work for and serve all these years.

 

It's an apt honour, not just because no man in British football deserves it more - but also because it was a travesty... given this anachronistic accolade has existed for centuries... that Bob Paisley wasn't given one.

 

As for knighthoods themselves - like with other titles and privileges bestowed on people - there are good knights and there are shit knights.

 

The queen and royal family are irrelevant for me in all this:  the relevant bit I think, is that the people of Great Britain get to see a great man officially acknowledged and revered in amongst them... and that stretches as far as over here to me, a grumpy old cunt of a "British subject" in Australia....

 

I'm more than happy to say, with great pride, because I have been inspired and delighted by him since I was a boy:  Sir Kenny.
