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

[ijjysmith]

From RAWK:

"We don't know what happened at the Kop, so I am not going to comment.* Will say this though: The media will blame Kenny, Suarez and the club - when the FA are largely to blame for initiating a witch-hunt against all three."

Good god almighty.

Haha. Good one Mr impartial.

Don't see why what I said was so unreasonable. End of the day I heard racial abuse at the United game at GP (and no it was wasn't from me before you start Davek ffs). If that was picked up then we'd all have our names dragged through the mire. I think we're smart enough to know that a few idiots don't make up an entire fanbase, and I'm not going to use one moron to try and hate on Liverpool even more.

When the manager and spiritual leader - king Kenneth - has been condoning racism for the last couple of months, is it any surprise that their fans think it's ok to do so.

Saw this article before too.

What the..

A personal memory of attending games at Anfield in the mid Seventies is asking my father why everyone was so friendly.

"Yes son, we're all good mates up here. What? Oh nothing, just ignore it. It'll keep your pockets warm."

Guardian reporting the same.....http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/06/oldham-tom-adeyemi-liverpool?newsfeed=true

Liverpool were embroiled in another racism controversy on Friday night when a fan was suspected of shouting abuse at the Oldham Athletic defender Tom Adeyemi.
The incident occurred 10 minutes before the end of Liverpool's 5-1 winover the League One side in the third round of the FA Cup. Adeyemi became embroiled in a row with a supporter, or supporters, at the front of the Kop.
Adeyemi was visibly upset by the exchange and it required several team-mates, the Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, and the referee, Neil Swarbrick, to calm the 20-year-old down. Witnesses reported two fans wearing Luis Suárez T-shirts – similar to those worn by Liverpool players at Wigan after the Uruguayan striker was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra – confronting Adeyemi, and one allegedly shouting "You ****ing black [Poor language removed]".

 

[Idioteque]

Yeah because someone born and bred in Norwich would react like that to being called a Manc [Poor language removed]!

Sky reporting no arrests

 

[ToffeeDan]

They've covered it up already - Dan Roan (BBC) tweets

"Merseyside Police deny any arrests for racially aggravated offences at Anfield"​

 

[Mvflusk]

Sky reporting no arrests

Merseyside Police in lax process shocker.

They probably posed for photos with them and put some scarves up on ebay.

[Idioteque]

Paul Dickov has just said Oldham are working with Adeyemi and Mersey Police.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Paul Dickov has just said Oldham are working with Adeyemi and Mersey Police.

Did Dickov mention signing for us by any chance?

 

[chicoazul]

Those fans aren't talented players for them so they will not receive the protective cloak of immunity from the fan base. The poor, poor bastards.

 

[Idioteque]

Did Dickov mention signing for us by any chance?

Sadly not

 

[ToffeeDan]

So, F**king Manc Bast*rd is ok round those parts? A term of endearment? Even when the victim is from Norwich & plays for Oldham... as long as you only say it once!?
