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

[Kurt.]

Well well well

Was never a secret was it ?

 

[JelavicBrate2]

Well well well

RS as in Liverpool FC, I am a RS.

 

[JelavicBrate2]

Surely not us again

I'm sure they'll find some link to Everton. It's like that RS who threw a bottle at coach and it was simply reported as man from Everton area. No mention of what team he supported, yet Red Echo had headline of Goodison Park Yobs, with regards to describe 2 brothers who had been involved in anti social behaviour in Walton, nothing to do with Everton matches.

What is the point you’re making with those quotation marks mate? I imagine you know full well that media outlets can’t definitively declare that a crime has been committed until a conviction has been secured?

We all know the lad was racially abused and the bizzies obviously know who did it, hence the arrest. Once he’s convicted, everyone can feel free to call him a racist scumbag but in the meantime, everyone charged with the responsible dissemination of news will use similar language. That would happen irrespective of which clubs were involved.

The bizzies arresting someone doesn`t mean they know who did it. They have past form for just grabbing people to be seen to arrest someone.

Just walked into the lunch room and seen this on the front page of the paper.

Trust them to be involved in a racism controversy in the very first game of the bleedin' season. Its been in the news all weekend and all..

Naturally, this'll just perpetuate the stereotype that scousers are idiots regardless of the facts. Great..

Just mentioned it on bbc breakfast sport. Not one time was he identified as a Liverpool supporter. He's was just 'a man'

You do wonder if it was, say, as clearly an Everton fan as it was a Liverpool fan would they still be strictly referring to the individual as 'a man' or what?

Definitely a bbc code of conduct in relation to reporting the rs.

How long are they going to drag these Jota tributes out for?

It's obscene.

It's obscene.

I've though that from day one to be honest.

I just didn't want to sound cold hearted about it.

Yes its sad he's gone, but the way they all flocked down there as soon as it happened. Its like they were using his death to try and prove how much of a fan they are.

The numerous minute silences, anytime something happens around the 20 minute mark was Jota.

Slot going on about it on Friday too.

I think it's fine for every team to offer a minutes silence after that a line should be drawn under it.

I've seen nothing like it in football.

This doesn't happen at any other club for a fallen player.

Everyone knows that.

There's been nothing but respect paid by teams since it happened.

Enough.
