      Obviously apart from LFC what club would you respect the most? A combination of respect for there outlook, achievements, fans, stadium etc

      I have huge respect for Celtic after the way they responded to Hillsborough whether through the game against us or the support they show the justice campaigns. However for pure footballing respect I think I have to say Barcelona. Always loved the approach to the game they take. Respect the way they didnt have sponsorship on there shirt and then stuck Unicef on it.

      I respected the way there fans responded at Anfield after we knocked them out of the champions league. And in my opinion for such a huge and successful club they seem to have a modesty about them

      Can't say I respect any club more than others. They're all just other clubs to me.

      I can tell you who I don't respect the most.  >:D

      And don't forget AC Milan's fans singing YNWA just after Hillsborough in their semi-final against Real Madrid at the San Siro.

       I respect South Liverpool for giving us Jimmy Case and Skelmersdale for giving us Steve Heighway and Moscow Dinamo  for (wait for it) having the guts to take Voronin off our hands. ;D
       Brian, no disrespect to your thread but I could not resist the temptation to mention Voronin. Hope you understand mate.

      Celtic have the worst fans. I work on the turnstiles at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock, and i have to say they are the worst fans to come!

      Yeah they are out to have a good time, but their language and behaviour is horrible. They have no respect for anyone, or anything.

      The difference between Celtic fans and Rangers fans is unbelievable. For footballing reasons, i prefer Celtic over Rangers; but in terms of their fans, Rangers are by far the better of the two!

      As for having respect for other football clubs, i'd go with Barcelona for the charity sponsor. That shows class. They are not in it for the money. They know they will make miillions with or without a shirt sponsor so to give shirt space to Unicef was a very good thing to do. It was nice to see Aston Villa doing something similar, but that will get no where near as much media coverage as Barcelona's.

      Sums up my answers in this thread.

      And Barcelona, sheerly for their commitment to playing amazing football. Doesn't matter who manages them, they're still so dedicated to playing football beautifully.

      On a footballing basis I wouldn't say I particularly respected any actual 'club' over any other. 

      If we're talking fans then kudos to AC Milan and Celtic.  It seems large sections of their support probably have a similar mentality to ourselves.
