Not wanting to defend the media and Liverpool fans for their tsunami of hypocrisy but Raheem was booed by opposition fans and not his own like Gomez. A better comparison would be with Xhaka perhaps?
In any event any Liverpool fan complaining should be forced to do the face to face education thing that Bernado has to do. And the England family need to think really hard about how their actions have led to this before they sanctimoniously bleat about supporting a player who the previous day was intent on winding up his international team mate as he faced an undeserved barrage of ignorant hate filled scousery.
Once again Sterling comes across as the only adult in the room and it takes a big man to apologise unreservedly and then ask for the booing (that could be seen as support of him) to stop.
Time for the media to show the same maturity and stop their creepy obsession with Raheem.
Very good observationEngland fans are traditionally two faced, whether booing Sterling or Gomez.
They travel abroad, employing the pre-match nastiness of the Stretford rags, before returning home with Liverpool's post-match victim culture.
He fucking loves to be challenged, every thread he tries to get into an argument, he's brilliant, I love him
Raheem Sterling is misunderstood and has frequently been misrepresented but the Manchester City winger has not helped himself this week. Most of the negative publicity the 24-year-old has endured throughout his career has been undeserved. His fit of petulance and scuffle with Joe Gomez when the England squad gathered at St George’s Park was a self-inflicted wound.

And whats the effing difference between a few boos directed at a player ..and the gobshites at anfield screaming " one greedy bastard" at another?
With skysports shamelessly turning up the mic and letting the watching viewer hear this chsnt,swear words and all??
Now of course sky play up to victimpool fans and run with the story of poor gomez being heckled...Ycnmiu!!
The hypocrisy is high. No one in the media calling sky out about the double standards.
This last 5 days ( just noticed bbc leading with a" City lose appeal" headline" ) have been hard to take...i hope something posistive comes from all this flak,i really do.
Nope down to City games only -home games at the match away games on mute.Don't suppose many on here watched ( why would we) I didn't. But it should have been Southgate who was booed no?
Gomez probably did need consoling for the boos. I don't understand why some people on here think that because Sterling was not protected early in his career that now future young players have to suffer injustices that he did.
Sterling has said very clearly that Gomez did nothing wrong, and he shouldn't be booed for it. Raheem should never have been booed himself, and people should have called it out at the time, but maybe one of the reasons Southgate and the squad are criticising this so much is because they know what it did to Sterling (because he's there, in the leadership group and has told them) and won't let it happen again to another young player who doesn't deserve it.
