Saw this on the spirt of shankly Facebook page and just felt I'd pass it on.
To all fans attending this weekend's game against Aston Villa:
As you are probably aware, Aston Villa's captain, Stiliyan Petrov, was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in March 2012. As a show of support for "Stan," Villa fans give their skipper an ovation with applause in the 19th minute of every home game.
This weekend, we intend to follow suit and give our own ovation, in unity with the travelling Villa fans, for Petrov. At the beginning of the 19th minute, we ask all fans to show their support and applaud for one minute.
Thank you.
Liverpool Supporters Union
Think it's a good gesture for us to get involved!
Notice for all attending the villa game!

Just to clear something up, when they say in the 19th minute, does this mean from 18:01 from 19:00, which is the actual 19th minute, or does it mean when the clock displays 19:00 to 19:59? Petty I know but I'm just curious. And it's a great gesture.

I think it is a great gesture
Tongue in cheek can we combine it with a round of applause for Downing
