Racism is Sh*te (Red Sh*te)

Another bout of racism at Anfield when abuse from the Kopites targeted Oldham defender Tom Adeyemi.

Read here

From ESPN:

Liverpool confirmed an incident took place, although said there had been no arrests, and added investigations were continuing.

''An incident occurred in the second half of the match which is now being investigated by both the club and the police,'' said a statement. ''We will continue to work with the police to establish the details of what actually happened and will make a further statement in due course.''

Oldham manager Paul Dickov said he had not spoken to the player about the incident, but accepted something had upset him.

Seriously?? This is well beyond the usual level of Gobsh*tiness. Despicable.

Apparently the Oldham youngster was abused towards the end of the game, I read one article which said the player broke down in tears on the pitch.

These people are utter scum and should be kicked out of the grounds, apparently they had tops on in support of Suarez as well, Unbelievable.

Pics of him in visibily upset, in tears, being consoled.

Of course we can't say what he was subjected to, but to get that reaction.... well.

Assuming that's true, then it's shocking.
Totally senseless. If one of our fans did that at Goodison I'd happily accept being thrown out of the cup.

Would you really? I imagine it's present within minorities across a lot of football clubs, it's just these dickheads (not supporters) at Anfield tonight were stupid enough to shout something right to him with Liverpool already under scrutiny. It's completely unacceptable but I don't think you can severely punish the club as a whole because they can't be held liable for some tosser deciding to turn up and act in such a way - it's beyond their control. I think it's much more appropriate to ban the individuals who did it.

I'm assuming you realise this was an isolated thing with 3 or 4 people doing it.
