More racism in Liverpool?

[Forzacitizens]

you can tell by his reaction that it involved racial abuse

I see they're earning their Klanfield title. The player who was abused was then booed by the Kop.

Well done, Liverpool.

Must admit Gerard has gone up a notch in my estimation

The cynic in me can't help thinking that damage limitation was in his mind when he went over to comfort the lad. However; to give him the benefit of the doubt, it was a nice gesture by him.

I've got nothing against Gerrard. Going to assume he's just a nice bloke until proven otherwise.

In all honesty he's probably embarrassed by this whole race thing.

anyone got a vid of the incident?

I'm getting bored, they're just fools.

This is what happens when a club tries to defend the indefensible! KK has got a lot to answer for especially with the T shirt stunt, I predict this going to happen more and more at that club.

They have created monster and unless they really start to do something about it Sponsors are not going to want to be associated with them, the thing is I don't think they can do anything because in the way they acted they unleashed this monster.

You could say this is what happens when you give an uneducated ex player full control over a club

What could the scousers excuse be ? The lad goes mad gets the police involved over what ? I doubt he misheard what the guy said to him.

"Adeyemi gave a statement to Merseyside police, in which he claimed to have been racially abused twice by a supporter." There we go lads. The can of worms has just been torn open.

Ballo got the same allegedly when he was sent off, that's why he was kicking off outside the dressing rooms.

Indeed. The whole conspiracy suggestion has now unleashed the loonies at Anfield. Maybe before they kept their racist beliefs on a short leash, but Dalglish has just unleashed the racist conspiracy nuts.

If this is proven, they should get booted out of the cup, or a points deduction. It needs to stop now before it goes any further.

Wearing the Suarez t-shirts was an horrendous misjudgement that is now coming back to bite them royally on the backside.
The thing is, all of this was so avoidable if they had just responded in the correct manner. Immediately after the Evra incident the club should have released a statement along the lines of -
'Luis was not aware that the word he used is deemed unacceptable in this country and there has been a cultural mistranslation. We will endeavour to educate our player to ensure that no such misinterpretations occur again'.

Mainly bullshit of course but by saying this they don't alienate their player yet show contrition.

They then make Suarez their poster-boy for the Kick It Out campaign and in the following match all the players - and Dalglish - wear Kick It Out t-shirts.

All of this would now be consigned to the past and Suarez would have been given a far more lenient ban by the F.A.

Instead they chose to back their player to the hilt and essentially not only condone his words but ally themselves with racism.
Which is not only naive but fucking scandalous quite frankly.

I dont believe for one minute that LFC the club are racist. But there is little doubt after all this that there's some clueless morons behind the scenes who shouldnt be in a job.

A quick word about Gerrard - not my favourite player by any means but I'll back him as a decent guy.
Two weeks ago he went down to London to meet a terminally ill kid who only had days to live.
He made no mention of this to anyone and it only came to light after a relative of the kid posted on Twitter.

Guys what did Gerrard do in this incident ?

Guys what did Gerrard do in this incident ?

from all accounts went over and put his arm round Adeyemi and had some quiet re-assuring words with him.

Liverpool were embroiled in another racism controversy on Friday night when a fan was suspected of shouting abuse at the Oldham Athletic defender Tom Adeyemi.

The incident occurred 10 minutes before the end of Liverpool's 5-1 win over the League One side in the third round of the FA Cup. Adeyemi became embroiled in a row with a supporter, or supporters, at the front of the Kop.

Adeyemi was visibly upset by the exchange and it required several team-mates, the Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard, and the referee, Neil Swarbrick, to calm the 20-year-old down. Witnesses reported two fans wearing Luis Suárez T-shirts – similar to those worn by Liverpool players at Wigan after the Uruguayan striker was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra – confronting Adeyemi, and one allegedly shouting "You fucking black bastard".

A senior Liverpool official said: "We will do everything in our power to investigate the matter and ensure the appropriate action is taken."

The incident could not have come at a worse time for Liverpool, given the widespread condemnation the club have received for their vehement support of Suárez.

Disgraceful. They should have them play in front of an empty stadium.

Why? Because of one fan? Don't be silly.

Given its istree as a major port with all the consequential interaction with people from all over the world Liverpool is the most racist city I've ever had the misfortune to visit/talk to scousers. 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?

Liverpool is the most racist city in the country
