John Barnes' banana incident definitely didn't happen.

Definitely.

Neither did this...

Or you know, this:

Or most recently:

Or an Oldham Athletic player allegedly being racially abused:

times moved on, Ok thats fine lets just forget about it then
everton are the last team to call other fans racist.

didnt a fan lose his season ticket for being racist towards saha.
didnt an everton fan get suspended from work for calling saha the n word on twitter.

30 years of racist abuse and now just 10 years later "time move on " get a grip.

Ive been to goodison plenty of times over the last 10 years and still here racism even towards your own players. ive seen stewards chuck people out of the stadium for being racist.
im amazed knowing this how you guys can write some of the stuff about liverpool.

So what you're saying is that EFC clamp down on any racism as opposed to the RS who break out the T-shirts or put the offender on an official video. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/30/liverpool-apology .........

Any comment on liverpool fans throwing bananas?

Unacceptable, but you're missing the point. Somebody said it never happened, when I'm pretty sure it did.

It was it's own point.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Said person is offline and as such can't defend the point, there's also stories of bananas being thrown at Barnes on his debut against Arsenal fat Highbury, from the Liverpool section

I would have to say that it is a bit unfair to tar everyone at Liverpool with the same racist brush when it comes to some of these incidents. When you consider that the Evra one recently was one idiot from a crowd of 45,000, and otherwise the game was quoted on Sky News as being trouble-free, it's silly to call all of the fans racist. When such a high-profile case comes up like this, you'll always have people incited to be stupid like the man, who has been rightfully arrested, did. Nobody's saying that both the Adeyimi and Evra incidents were acceptable, but if you consider the actions in both cases have been condemned by the vast majority of the Liverpool fanbase and dealt with well in both cases then it seems more like an attempt to discredit Liverpool by going on like this than anything else.

As for the reaction to Suarez's ban; I think the club and the majority of our fans are admittedly guilty of blind delusion but not racism. I don't think we took the right response whatsoever, but again I don't think there was any outwardly racist intentions from the club in defending Suarez, however stupid it was.

Are you suprised that after years of whitewashing by the media and the FA regarding your club's roles in hooliganism and racism within the game just because you were part of the 'Sky 4', that people are finally happy that it has caught up with the club, and the rest of the country and possibly the world is seeing it for what it is. For example the serving of only one year of your extra three year ban for your clubs role in the Heysel disaster. The reduction cost Crystal Palace their place in the 91-92 Uefa Cup for example.

What does any of that have to do with current events though? What do you have to say about my point? You can't use past actions to condemn the majority of fans who have been well-behaved.

Did you read my post? I'm not saying it is, however you have to accept that people are happy to see your club finally under pressure from the media at large, as well as fans of other clubs finding your clubs and supporters behaviour appalling.
