I can't believe you lot. You're all coming on here and spouting off as if we're all applauding what may of happened last night. You're either stupid or just plain bitter. Not one of you have said anything that doesn't stink of just having digs at our club. I'll say it again, if its true no one will condone it, so can you please explain what is the point in anything you're all saying?

I'm sorry to say but Suarez is a racist. He was found guilty by footballs equivalent of a criminal court.

Your club decided not to appeal the ban.

maybe the police misheard or didn't hear the racial abuse...that seems to be the current defence.

nice deflection by the way, my comment had no relevance to number of arrests for trouble etc. if you had nothing constructive to debate with then i suggest you start your own thread on the fact man yoo fans have had more arrests than any other fans in the league!

it's sad too see that a club as big as Liverpool seem to be single handedly destroying the good work british football has done in eradicating racism from the game.
-----------------

You are clearly on here just to try and provoke a response. If you actually knew anything about the work Liverpool FC has done in anti-racism campaigns over the years, then you would realise what a ridiculous statement you have just made, in fact it is quite insulting.

The majority of Liverpool fans are not racist, and you are alleging that we are. There are always a minority of people in EVERY club who bring down the majority, and if this happened to be another club then I doubt very much you would be given them as much direct attention as you are doing so here, so you are quite obviously trying to stir things up, and I hope the Admins can see that.

FFS SLM, it wasn't a defence. It's a concern.

we apologise for defending a man who's not a racist after he was slandered and accused of being one repeatedly
===

my apologies, i must have imagined he was found guilty of racially abusing patrice evra and given an 8 game ban and £40,000 fine!

i see suarez has not apologised to evra but felt the need to apologise generally yet you say he isn't a racist? so what is he then, ignorant?

no deflection as i quite clearly demonstrated that united fans, the majority of which are now on some sort of crusade against everything LFC, are so hypocritical.
highest number of arrests and 2 incidents of racial abuse as opposed to zero at liverpool.
it is a pertinent point given these "crusaders" are doing everything they can to discredit the name of liverpool football club. hypocritical of them???? certainly!

SLM LISTEN TO ME! YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY NEXT! IF YOU FAIL TO THEN THAT WILL SHOW YOU CANT ANSWER

most of the Liverpool fans have said that if it is true, then the fan should be banned for life. I haven't seen one Liverpool poster say, he deserved it or anything of that nature to show we support racism. So give me proof that we approve racism by one fan allegedly saying something
Off you go

Henry RSC. So what you're saying is this single person had the support of the rest of the crowd and everyone decided not to report it because every Liverpool fan at Anfield last night is racist. Wow, that's some theory.

Well actually you are wrong there, as it was never investigated through a court of law Suarez wasn't guilty of being racist.

Instead the FA considered the verdict and made an example of Suarez, even after realising the cultural differences, which was a move to re-instate the FAs stance on non-racism after Blatter's comments.

If you think they were ever going to budge on that decision, whether right or wrong, then think again. There was no point ever appealing as they would've denied no matter anyway and Suarez would have 4 more games added to the ban.

i repeat my earlier post

what amazes me more is that no-one in the crowd felt compelled to report this incident to the stewards or police

if liverpool and their fans have done so much good work then surely somebody would feel compelled to report that kind of outburst?

Mon died.
I haven't filtered anyone on this board since it started. (ok one just to see how it worked) and to prove it, you can ask admin. I'm all up for a debate, but not one that's coated in drivel.
I won't filter you as I don't see the point. It doesn't stop you from spouting your drivel

I think the reaction of the player made the incident well known to the police at the time anyway. Unless you were expecting someone to pick up on it in the milli-seconds between the fool saying it and the players reacting.

to all those numpties who continually have a go at liverpool for defending suarez. do you remember these comments from ferguson when schmeichel was accused of racially abusing ian wright:
We can categorically deny that there were any racist remarks from Peter Schmeichel.

"We can assure you of that - no question about it - so it's very, very disappointing to read that stuff. It's a wild card.

"Peter is very, very upset. People should remember he's got a family to think about back home in Denmark reading about all this.

"Manchester United is a worldwide institution - we've got supporters club branches in every corner of the planet and we set great store in our reputation.

"Two years ago we were coaching in the black townships of South Africa - and Peter Schmeichel was part of that initiative.

"It's surprised us this wild card has emerged about racist remarks.

"Peter Schmeichel is quite adamant about this and it's a big, big slur on us"

So...the FA deemed there to be not enough evidence and did not base a decision on the balance of probabilities like they did with suarez.
This still did not stop ferguson from sticking up for schmeichel prior to the FA investigation. difference please!

Scouse Trousers

On a thread this morning, on your board a Liverpool fan said. "Adefemi should man up", or words very very close to that.

To be fair a few of your fans turned on him, but that's one example.

SouthLondonManc I accept you are new to the game and you haven't quite got the hand of being even an apprentice wum but, for the record, both the enquiry Board and Evra clearly state that LS was NOT a racist. Now, I appreciate that NOT is a big word, isn't it? And that with your level of intelligence, amply displayed for us all to see, it might be too difficult to grasp, but thats what is said in the report. Now, if you disagree, then ,fine, they've got it wrong too. Here comes the next complicated bit. What he was found to have done is not the equivalent of what would have happened in a criminal Court. Hope this helps. JimmyTheRed

yet if the incident was reported then the perpetrator would have been arrested and the investigation would have been concluded

In an ideal World yes, but when intensified by the media spotlight, I don't think it's as simple as that.

Token gestures like that do not mean a thing.

A perfectly law abiding person can have one drink too much, drive and kill somebody. They are still a murderer.

and yet if the player had misheard what was said then nobody would have informed the police as the term would not have been racist. works both ways

this is laughable

if i racially abuse joe bloggs in the street then i am done for racism ergo i am a racist.

why is saurez any different? are the fa keen to minimise the damage done to the image of the game?
