No way can we be made to look petty. It was an outrageous piece of journalism to the point of suspension and it was vilified by all and sundry. It was the only option we could take and justifiably so.

Of course mate. This rag should never have been welcome at either club, that's the shock to me it's been so long to revoke them.

Course it was but and what we have done is correct but no doubt it will get twisted against us. You forget how much the press slag us off, this will be another case.

Just been announced, clubs baneed it from all areas.
Pay no heed to those moaning and point scoring about timing. Doing something good is always good regardless when it's done.

The only downside is that it now looks that we were bounced in to this by Anderson's attack yesterday and that we are now part of "his" campaign, whereas I'd bet the club were always going to take this action in the event of there not being a fulsome and meaningful apology (accompanied by MacKenzie's head, either metaphorically or actually).

I think the most important thing is that the club show solidarity with Ross in this. Irrespective of whether you believe there was any racial intent, the column was extremely insulting and abusive to one of our own, and we just can't allow that. I really can't give a toss what anybody not associated with Everton thinks about this. Well done to the club I say.

This.
Now the city is united against this vile rag.
It always was. Now it's just official.
I know what you mean about twisting but in this case anyone doing that will be classed as supporting the piece. Long term you may be correct and they may have sly digs at us. I think all the other papers will understand but the S*n will find a way in the future to have another crack at the people of Liverpool and the teams.
Dont know mate, arn't the media commitments part of the PL and Sky contract sort of thing. Remember when Fergie wouldnt talk to the BBC for years over a documentary they done on his son? Im sure if he could have had them banned at OT then he would have. Im sure Liverpool would have banned them a long time ago if it was possible - there was no reason not to, the only thing I can think of is they had a strong legal case to do so when the fans were cleared at the inquest.

Finger on the pulse you lad
I agree. Hope someone at Everton has words with Anderson and tell him never to try and push us into any decisions in the future and keep his nose out of our business.

It goes back even further than Harry Enfield or even the Brookside scallies.
Joey Boswell was the archypical Scouse "scrounger" and his persona of a wide boy layabout whom could charm the dole woman into buying his family all manner of things was regarded by many viewers as how people on the dole, not just in Liverpool, but all over England were in actual fact living it large on benefits.
And of course Joey was the illegitimate son of Alf Garnett's son in law, the layabout's layabout in Til Death Do Us Part for whom the phrase "lazy Scouse git" was coined and has stuck ever since.
Then you had Yozzer Hughes and his Kirkby kiss stereotype.......Lucien and his flaming rabbits in the Liver Birds......and when Clement and Le Frennais were creating Auf Wuedersehn Pet, where would the rogue outlaw on the run turn out be from?
Liverpool, of course.
All these images were burned into the English subconscious from the 1960s onwards and they still stick today.
McKenzie wouldn't have dared write that crap about Pakistanis, Jews, the Irish or the Scots.....the previous butt of ignorant English humour.
No sir.
The people of Liverpool are the last acceptable target for these Neanderthals.
We have become the nation's Everyman.....when they use us as the butt of their humour, they are dissing every minority in the country.
Now, anyone taking the time to read my musings on here over the years know I have a healthy disdain for the England football team.
This is because I spent the best years of my life following my beloved EFC the length and breadth of this green and pleasant land, and been greeted with songs about signing on, calming down, looking for sommat to eat in dustbins or having fivers waved at my face by some scrote in Barnsley or flaming Luton and then the flags of these no mark clubs would appear at England games and the same cretins who sang songs to insult me would do the same to Johnny Foreigner then smash up his bars.
No thanks, McKenzie.
You can stuff your idea of England right up your fat hole, where the sun don't shine.
We are reviled by the majority of people in this country and although we are righteously upset with McKenzie, be assured his comments will strike a note with a heck of a lot of your fellow countrymen.
But he knows that all too well.
Already he is portraying himself as the victim in this and we are, once again in the eyes of many outside the Liverpool ramparts, thin skinned buggers, offended by everything and ashamed of nowt.
The sooner we declare UDI and proclaim a People's Republic in Liverpool, or in Melling at least, the happier I will be.
Viva the People's Republic of Liverpool.....
Brilliant post and loved the bit about Luton. Still to this date I remember the highlights on the TV of the FA Cup semi we beat them in when Gray fouls someone and you can see one of them in the background throwing his bowler hat to the ground and stamping his feet. lol

Not that it matters,and off course its 100% the right decision,but why did it take till 45mins ago to say that they informed them lot they were banned yesterday,and why didnt EVERTON JUST SAY THIS LAST NIGHT
