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

[toffee82]

1892 - 1980 Irish barred from playing for them

1985 - anti-Italian racism

21st century - anti-black racism

It's in the DNA.

That's putting it mildly.

It's a well worn playbook. Acknowledge the incident as a minor crowd related issue, make no mention of the team who the individual supports. Focus on the result, bigger picture. All is forgotten within 48 hours.

True but Semenyo’s name is forever in history as the player who stood up. He is a hero and he won’t appreciate it until he’s long retired.

Kerkez looks terrible. Just the 40 mill on him.

Drop in the ocean to the 400 million they will splash out bloody city buying the league

Unless there's an angle for them to exploit, where they can swing the narrative 180 degrees in the completely opposite direction to make themselves out to look like they're the victim in the whole incident... In which case, that would take prevalence.

God knows that there's no way that they'd pass up the chance to play the victim once again.

You owned heysel yet?

Why would I?

Liverpool FC need to come out with a statement condemning their racist fans.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Liverpool FC need to come out with a statement condemning their racist fans.

They'll single one out if they can, and prime the rest to be ever so vigilant when watching support elsewhere so as to scream loudest from the rooftops where possible. It's called deflection. Whataboutery. It wuz someone else throwing flares at the liver building. It was the locals jumping the gates in Paris. It was never oor carra spitting at a car full of kids etc.

 

[Leylo]

It was Bournemouth fan
.
Maybe

 

[Zed Car]

Without taking the pee the person in there might have mental problems.
I know the fella that runs that part for LFC, lovely fella disabled himself, he has had a few bad experiences with some of the people that get in there.

In where Anfield. Safe bet that

 

[Taifi gorm]

You owned heysel yet?

Absolutely shameless.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Liverpool FC need to come out with a statement condemning their racist fans.

I doubt that will happen. More likely they will make out that their fan was the victim and somehow make out that the Bournemouth lad caused the whole incident and should appologise to LFC for tarnishing their reputation. They have previous for doing similar.

 

[Seathestars]

Totally agree if its proven to be true. Let's not forget though that we used to taunt them with chants of "Ni**erpool" and "Everton are White".
Different and hopefully never to be repeated times. If anyone is wondering what that was about it was when they signed John Barnes. Just saying.

Ashamed of nothing.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

BBC blanket ban on any comments about the racism.
