ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Minimeister]

lol

So I say stop ignoring John Barnes about racism and it's some overblown reaction?

Wow, ok.

Had he not come out and defended Suarez, or spoke out about the way the young Oldham player was treated at Anfield, he may just have been taken seriously for his views on racism.

 

[Kurt.]

Ok sorry.

I'll leave it to all you white people then to tell a black man who suffered racial abuse for years his opinion should be ignored then.

Edit- In fact what racist thing have I actually said here?

How come you’re not interested in discussing the murder of 39 juventus fans in such depth ?

 

[MikeH72]

How am I endorsing it. In fact how does that make me racist on the basis of someone else's opinion?

Why should anyone dictate to someone how they feel after they have been a victim of racism? Week after week of getting racist abuse from a white crowd and it's racist to suggest that maybe his opinion on the subject might be different to a white person who , 30 years ago was hurling that abuse.

Have I a really posted a racist reply in this thread?

Suggest you withdraw the racist remark mate , that's a little too strong to throw about to people.

What, John Barnes making a racist statement and you coming on here and very passionately defending it, flippantly throwing out the term “white people” several times, as if we’re all somehow guilty of racially abusing John Barnes, is not racist?

Yes, I do have a problem with John Barnes declaring he doesn’t like white people. Because that is very racist. I bet you’d be all over a white victim of an Islamic terrorist attack coming out and saying “that’s why I don’t like Muslims”. It’s exactly the same thing. Both statements are clearly racist.

Ok let's talk about it.

A bunch of murdering kopites went to heysel for a cup game and murdered some juve fans

What else you want to talk about mate?

I have a problem with white people dismissing a black man's opinion on racism who actually suffered it. Don't care who it is , who they played for or any of that.

Isn't that literally the point BLM supporters were making the other month? How is white people can't comment on it as we haven't suffered it?

But as I havent said his opinion is right or wrong, I haven't endorsed anything. So please retract the racist mark mate.

You have a problem with people dismissing “I don’t like white people” as an opinion? Why? It is a racist opinion.

In my view, racist opinions should be dismissed. Point blank, period.

Look this is taking this thread way off topic so I don't really want to continue doing that.

All I'm saying is when it comes to talking about racism, all opinions should be included in the discussion. Otherwise it's not a discussion , its a closed book.

You have not been saying that at all

 

[anton66]

Have fun.

Says the man who’s made a career outside football due to positive discrimination.

 

[Death]

Just because he suffered racial abuse in the '80s doesn't make John Barnes a person of expertise in how to eradicate the problem now 30 or so years later. He's a moronic, ignorant, race-baiting a**hole of a man. Media should completely ban him.

That’s not on mate. He changed me as a young lad I used to be racist if I may have a moment of honesty. I had this ignorant view that all black people were good at rapping.

John Barnes single handily changed that forever.

In my view, racist opinions should be refuted.

Leave this and get on to that tit Allison.

LFC clearly have adopted a policy of keeping this story in the media, despite the threats to Pickford. They could've easily briefed him not to comment, and de-escalate, but no. Not big red. It is shameless and irreseponsible on a very high level from that club.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

We have to stop thinking about Man City. That’s 2 years ago type thinking. RS have a number of challengers this season.

Name them....

*A reminder that liverpool finished 33 points ahead of the 3rd place team last season

Its disgusting at this point that they're still going on about this....but it's what they do and the media are ofcourse happy to report it ...just before the weekend too, just to remind the refs that they've been "hard done by", and we're a dirty team (just look at Digne's red card last weekend...the ref was clearly influenced by the week long media storm against us)...

Us being top won't last long, but every week we can stay above them will become even more satisfying knowing how much its killing them...hopefully City can sort their s*** out, will be hilarious watching the RS meltdown (The Pickford stuff hasn't peaked yet, it would get 100 times worse if they actually start falling behind City)..

Everton and Evertons B team.

Your move.

Enjoy it mate.

I hope they do keep going on about it. Every conceded goal, every dropped points every time they get out snided on the pitch, talk about van dijk. I hope they mention van dijk every single week mate.

Because everyone will notice. It won't be just us that notices them harping on about it week after week, and the pee taking will be sublime from the entire league.
