every club has a racist element, the amount of times I heard racist language on the train to the carling cup game against united about Anderson.

The sort of racist language that died out 20 years ago in Manchester and London remains mainstream in parts of Liverpool. I wonder what their black players make of it?

Lets get this into perspective. City didnt publically come out backing the actions of racist scumbags. Those classless pricks from down the road have done exactly that!!!
The video posted of the young lad in tears is a disgrace. They have to come down on this hard, and fast.

Liverpool fans (hooliganism aside) have generally been fair minded. In fact I can remember a bottle being launched at Joe Corrigan and the the Kop chanting "get the bastard out, get the bastard out" and a number of their fans forcibly handing the culprit over to the police.
I am hugely surprised this has happened and in spite of my better instincts, I can well believe the people involved are not really Liverpool fans. In fact given the rags' propensity for bitterness (anyone remember their knobs going on Napoli forums to stir up trouble?) it's not beyond the realms of possibility they wouldn't pull a stunt like that.
However, there needs to be a full investigation to establish what happened and who did it. Then the full weight of the FA and the Police must fall on the the club and the perpetrators for this absolutely set of horrible and despicable events.
Heart goes out to the Oldham who should never have to experience this kind of disgusting bullshit.

Don't get me wrong if something was said racially to him that person/s need to be banned for life, but 'brought to tears' fucking hell lad. Its only words. Your in the wrong profession if stuff like that is gonna bother you.
Hang on...here we go again....he called him a Manc, NOTHING to do with race/colour FFS
Just seems weird to me that a player can burst into tears because of heckling from the terraces or am I just being too cynical? Has he really never had anyone yelling at him before?
Racism has no place in sport or life generally and if anyone made racists comments they should be dealt with by the club and Police, but apparently an official complaint claiming that has not been made.
I hope the Suarez affair does not lead to other clubs, players and fans using the racist card as an opportunity against us.
Oh please please please leave this whole issue alone.
the factis if the player had given the crowd a one finger salute he would have been subject to a one game suspension. As he burst into tears 'Liverpool' is being branded as abusive. We simply need to ride above this stuff and it will go away.
That's the daft thing - if he's from Norwich, he wouldn't understand Scouse anyway. 'Fucking Manc Bastard' shouted amongst all the racket could easily sound like 'Fucking Black Bastard' if you're from out in the sticks.
Makes your fucking blood boil. Deleted my final comment on the matter.Jumanji said:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sPgGoe0ygI[/youtube]
