Lukaku

[Duncan Disordely]

can't see those Alan Myers tweets or any comment on the OS yet?

He's released the statement to journo's.

I don't see anything in his comments that supports what Anelka did. Perhaps he downplayed it, but then again, who gives a poop?

 

[Azzurri]

Why didn't Everton just say 'if they ask about Anelka say no comment or don't say anything controversial' ffs.

Maybe they did I suppose.

Completely agree with Lukaku to be honest and I don't think Anelka should be banned for making the gesture. It was created the mean one thing (essentially anti-government and anti-establishment) and then used in a particular context. As a result of this context it's considered to be anti-Semitic.

It's like someone wearing a blue scarf to a white supremacist rally and then as a result blue scarfs being labelled as racist.

Essentially all Rom said is people need the calm down, which is right. Everyone needs to just calm down about pretty much everything.

This country is becoming a police state anyway.

Lukaku said: "He was my idol since I was a kid, and still is. He shouldn’t be banned for that. He just supported a stand-up comedian in France, so we don’t have to make such a big deal about it. He's an adult and I hope he doesn’t get suspended because he’s a player people want to see play on the pitch."

WTF is controversial about that? He's passing comment on a mate's predicament.

Exactly.

Complete nonsense.

HAHA!

Trust the Echo to be all over this. Tony Barrett having a field day on twitter RT'ing all sorts.

Is he tweeting pictures of that Sakho arsehole actually doing the salute?

Oh my, a new can has opened now. Can we get him banned as well now.

Big Brother is well and truly arrived

 

[Mekias]

This whole thing is silly anyway. Let's just ban everything we interpret as the least beat offensive and just give away all our freedoms while we're at it.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

He said nothing wrong anyway.
