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

[catcherintherye]

Amazing the defence of it ‘it’s not homophobic lads, we’ve done it for years, it’s no different to United having Turkish flags against Leeds, Leeds singing Munich, Norwich signing Sign On, it’s bantz’

All that response shows is that the person saying it doesnt think homophobia is wrong. I think LGBT football supporters have had enough of having abuse theyve suffered be explained away and justified on the basis someone else may say something wrong. It really is the last defence of a scoundrel that. Just take some responsibility and stop doing it FFS.

I have no idea on the former mate, but given how much they seem to hate black footballers, particularly those who are victims of racism, I wouldn't be enormously surprised.

The Howard Gayle stuff is really grim.

Bernie was a good St Helens lad I believe. Sounds bizarre, but it was a dead funny physical gag that ostrich part of his act.

Think he passed away only quite recently too, Norman Collier with his dodgy microphone always comes to mind as well!!

Bernie Clifton is alive and well; you are possibly confused with Rod Hull, he also had an ostrich as part of his routine.

"We dont trust them" FFS. These knobheads have a banner of that whopper on the Kop. Absolutely disgusting.

He's basically one of the two great figures in that club's history.

We're often hear the question posed 'what would Shanks have said'...but what would Bob have said?

Hmmmm.

The 2nd alleged quote is absolutely disgusting. It's quite upsetting to be honest. What's the point taking the knee if that stuff is left unchallenged. This is exactly the sort of structural racism that needs to be challenged, not ignored.
