The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

[brokencrossbar1]

Why does LFC have to hitch itself to every tragic death or cause? It is truly bizarre

they even laid a club wreath at the 9-11 monument in NYC when the club were playing games over there on a summer pre-season tour. Why?

Why are you so obsessed with Liverpool FC. It's truly bizarre.
Why?

He's follows Everton....the hate keeps them alive...

when ye get another minute do an oul search for me and tell me what ground the John Barnes and banana picture was taken at...

Highbury
Liverpool fans threw bananas at their own player at Highbury on Barnes' debut

And if you don't know that, you haven't a clue about the clubs history

Good man del. When ye get an oul pic throw her up there. The one i saw had Barnes in red whereas they always wore the away kit at Highbury....mmmm

1920. Young Irishmen (and women) fight, starve and debate for the love and future of their country.
2020. Young Irishmen debate on the Internet which English soccer club they support is the least racist.

O'Neill wouldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. All talk.

The mancs and the bitters and the fans of basically every other club will stop at nothing in order to get a dig in at Liverpool, even bringing up Suarez, a player who Liverpool had every right to back throughout who wasn't even proved guilty.
Shameless individuals, but sure that's to be expected. The fume is delicious.

It may be delicious but it isnt wrong. You can't unwind history it is what it is.

The club acted disgracefully in the Evra situation that will live in the memory of other fans especially Utd fans, only natural.

So you can understand how this sticks in the throat a bit, even if the personell have moved on and new faces are in.

Everyone should condemn racism.

It's nothing more than mancs stooping to new levels to get a dig in at Liverpool. How did the club act disgracefully?

At the time or lately? At the time badly now they are doing the right thing

[GiveItToTheShooters]

At the time. What did the club do that was disgraceful?

[J70]

I'd say naive, poor judgement, ill-advised and incompetent more than disgrace, but I understand United feeling that way.

They may have genuinely believed Suarez's assurances, but they should have issued a statement of support for the inquiry/stance of no tolerance for racial abuse, shut everyone up and accepted the outcome.

I disagree. Liverpool were correct to back their player during the witch hunt. Suarez was punished solely on the account of a rival player, the allegation made against him was not heard by anyone else. Evra then comes out and says he admitted insulting Suarez, and saying Suarez wasn't a racist, the FA said the same.
Doesn't look like a rigorous or fair process of investigation, Liverpool probably should have taken the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

They actually did issue a statement reiterating their stance of no tolerance for racial abuse. You can read this for yourself here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/16277126 , but that probably doesn't suit your agenda.

I don't have an agenda. I don't think Suarez is racist, despite the hyperbole from many United fans. I just think he is hypercompetitive and will do whatever he thinks he needs to in the moment to gain an advantage, even if it is something he wouldn't do or think in a million years off the field. He admitted to calling Evra "negro" i.e. black, albeit in a non-aggressive or provocative way. The inquiry didn't find it credible that under the circumstances he wasn't trying to get a reaction. And whatever about the club's statement on the initial findings, once the full report came out they decided to cut their losses and not appeal.

IMO the club just handled the whole thing extremely poorly from the start. Exercise in what not to do. You are free to your opinion.

I'm not surprised the club didn't appeal, such was the farce in the way that the FA charged him. One account of a rival player that wasn't heard by anyone else shouldn't have stood up in the first place, so an appeal to the FA was never going to be successful, they should have taken it to CAS instead.
The club and team were fully justified in supporting their player during this, so I'll agree to disagree on how the club handled the situation.
