The hubris involved here is sickening and McKenzie's actions are deplorable. No right thinking person could condone the rhetoric that was included in this 'article' and it's blatantly clear that it was always intended to provoke a reaction. That's the level of ego we're confronted with here.
I would suggest that the S*n organisation has clearly engaged in a base and snivelling attack on the people of Liverpool once more in a bid to finally vent the anger and misappropriated injustice they feel for having to admit they were wrong. However, as an organisation, it beggars belief that they can interpret their 'right' to be angry as an opportunity to just be downright cruel, disrespectful and frankly vile.
@Khalekan has a point in believing that McKenzie is simply thumbing his nose at the people of Liverpool and doing it in order to win further favour with the organisation that has always resented the apology they had to issue.
That a national 'newspaper' could publish this, considering the levels of scrutiny and authority that an article such as this would go through before it went to press is nothing short of deplorable - and, in my opinion, it's indicative that their full intention was to provoke, hurt and ridicule the people of Liverpool without reservation.
For that to even be borne in fruition is staggering.
Absolutely staggering.

Bry, it was the same when Gerrard's biography was serialised in the News of the World....sister papers FFS!
Anyway, steering clear of this today for obvious reasons.

Issue for me is that it's the whole paper rather than just Mackenzie. Otherwise they would have sacked rather than suspend him. And obviously editors etc would have oked his column. Therefore responsibility is with the paper as a whole so IMO Everton should take action on the paper as a whole and exclude them from all inside coverage.

Well said mate.Am I reading a BBC article right and Joe Anderson wants us all to turn our backs at a certain time tomorrow in some sort of protest about EFC not banning The Sun?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39603942
I won't be doing it and I don't think Anderson should be trying to drive a wedge between us and and our club.
I banned The Sun from my life long before Hillsborough and I could never understand why anyone ever bought the filthy, right wing rag, edited by a total scumbag.
It seems McKenzie had been "suspended" by the rag following his preposterous article about Ross Barkley.
Bad and all as this item is, it pales into insignificance given Trump, with his domestic policy in tatters in the early days of his presidency, has already started wagging the dog and the world appears to be lurching toward some kind of major conflict in the near future.
That is what is worrying me

I'm deeply ambivalent.
The rag lied about Hillsborough. It hacked a dead girl's phone with the people in charge at the time emerging unscathed (and some now back to running the show). Every one of Murdoch's outlets worldwide backed the Iraq war showing them all ultimately to be nothing but his mouthpiece and betraying a total lack of editorial independence. They've had decades of politicians and the police in this country dancing to their tune, thus suborning democracy and poisoning public life. The Barkley article is just the latest mouse dropping squeezed out atop a toxic global crap heap and I'd be ecstatic to see the entire empire crumble, including the Sky money.
That said that 'newspaper' is already effectively banned from the city and it's regions. That's a collective decision by tens of thousands of people who would have otherwise bought it, upheld for nearly 30 years. That's far more powerful and impressive than uninviting a few journalists from entrance to your grounds, which is largely symbolic. If grand gestures and sending messages are your thing then fine but it doesn't actually change anything the way the boycott has, or the way other direct action options would.
Finally I slightly resent EFC receiving criticism for not immediately mirroring a policy it took LFC more than 25 years to implement itself.

It's a difficult situation , and generally I'm not comfortable with stagey forms of protest. I'm also puzzled at the clubs current stance on this publication, as until now they have been exemplary in their support and actions since Hillsborough. However I am angry and since my preferred protest would be to seize the sun reporter attending the match today. Tie him to a stake hurl vitriolic abuse at him for 10 minutes, then surround him with copies of the rag and set fire to him, I'll probably turn my back, since my method wound leave scorch marks on the centre circle.
The club will need time to get their ducks in a row.
