Thais hold Liverpool title parade and Game of Thrones actor won’t be happy

Jurgen Klopp and his triumphant squad are unable to tour the streets of Liverpool with the Premier League trophy right now but yet another Reds title-winners parade has taken place in Thailand.

Unlike last year when huge crowds took the streets to watch Liverpool’s triumphant Champions League side show off the club’s sixth European Cup, starting at Allerton Maze, travelling northbound on Queens Drive towards the Fiveways roundabout and Rocket flyover then trawling through Queens Drive, Mill Bank, West Derby Road, Islington, Leeds Street, the Strand and finishing at Blundell Street, public health concerns due to the global coronavirus pandemic have prevented a repeat after the club secured its first League Championship for 30 years.

In an open letter to the ECHO, Klopp condemned the scenes at the Pier Head the night after the title was clinched when a firework was deliberately launched at the Liver Building.

Over in Thailand though, jubilant Kopites who have pledged their allegiance to a team on the other side of the world have been causing a stir among their presumably bemused neighbours by making up for Merseyside’s lack of parades with their own celebrations.

Now another procession has been photographed a further 13-hour drive down the Malay Peninsula in the province of Narathiwat.
