Kop Mosaic in honour of Sami?

[Randy Marsh]

I know there is another thread on Sami's departure, but I felt this subject was a little different.

 

In the past few years we have seen plenty of Kop mosaics. Some deserved and worthy, such as GH's tribute when he was recovering from life saving surgery, Hillsborough tributes, and Ray Kennedy's tribute recently. We have also seen some quite laughable causes, most notably the "Thanks David Moores" one a few years back (which was an absolutely astonishingly bad idea in hindsight).

 

I think with today's news of Sami's departure, what better way for us fans to thank the man than with a mosaic. I do not like the way the Kop has been used as a type of advertising board in recent years for subjects not widely agreed with and accepted by the wider majority of supporters. But this is a subject that everyone will be united on. The man is a legend, an absolute legend who will be remembered for ever more in our history. The word "legend" is used a lot these days, often inappropriately. But there is no more fitting description of Sami Hyypia.

 

Would you support the idea of a mosaic for Sami against Spurs? Maybe the people who organise these types of things may take note if the response is good.

[Unrighteous]

Only a mosaic? I'd probably let him take the kop with him if he asked the great big leg.

[Ponz]

Arghh. Accidentally checked the wrong option. Please disregard the one "no" vote so far.

[WaltonRed]

It should simply say THANK YOU

[TommyW]

wholehearted yes, if Moores got one...

[RedinSweden]

Definitely. The word legend is used a bit too often nowadays, but Sami is a proper Liverpool legend. 10 years exceptional service deserves recognition.

[Lucky Pierre]

Get one telling him to rip up his Leverkusen contract and stay here.

I miss him already:(

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I voted no for the simple reason I hate mosaics as they remind me of RAOTL.

[Carra_is_legend]

It should simply say THANK YOU

 

Moores might think we are doing the mosaic for him and Parry.

[philyhamann]

whoever vote no is a manc.

[kopitegaz]

A mosaic is a very good idea.

[Brownie]

I'm not the greatest fan of mosaics because you can end up doing them for insignificant things - in this instance, however, I think it's a great idea.

[gaz181]

I think he should have one in his honour. He deserves it.

[JohnnyH]

Salid Diao will be gutted that he didn't get one.

[the walsh]

of course what a legend what is happening with his testemonial i persume he is having one

[Jennings]

I don't think a mosaic goes far enough, so I vote no. They are too fleeting.

 

Sami is a legend. He should have a testimonial. Nothing less. Let us have the opportunity to thank him in grand style.

[Original202]

David Moores got a mosaic and Robbie didn't.

 

So this year, I think it's appropriate that Rick Parry gets one and we totally ignore Sami.

 

Them's the rules.

[millomred]

A definate YES plus a testimonial, no player deserves more.

Beat me to it!

[Joe Strummer]

Yes we definitely should do something. If we were still going for the league on the final day though I wouldn't be so sure.

[Antynwa]

I propose a mass orgy.

 

Failing that lets just win the league for him, and be done with it.

[Kevin D]

Despite what the seven baby killers think, it should certainly happen.

[George Costanza]

Voted No

 

since Moores got one it has somewhat belittled the gesture. Plus too many mosiac's dilutes their meaning.

 

I think just a massive ovation for as long as possible aginst spurs with maybe somekind of appreciation ceremony for his services done after the game or at half time

[philyhamann]

I'd like to see us boo the team unless he is on the ball like we did with Gary Mc, and stick him upfront.
