I didn't even know there was a label to be honest. I've heard small things but nothing major.

It's disputable, he was accused of hurling racial abuse in that nightclub incident he was convicted of. I am not sure whether those claims were upheld or not.

What difference does that make? If it did happen, it's in the past, and as long he doesn't do it again he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

If he comes on the pitch wearing a long cloak and hood, and carrying a burning cross, then you might have a point.

If this lad isn't a hero to the Anfield faithful within a matter of weeks, I'll be very surprised.

Obviously none to you, but it does to me. I'm not asking anyone to agree; just making my point.

So it was all denied allegations and nothing more? If that's true, I feel far better about him. I can excuse him for being a bellend as long as no real harm was done and he doesn't bring that shit to Liverpool, but racism is something else entirely.

I can see him being ace for us, I really can, I just hope he can put all that shit behind him. As soon as the ink sets on his contract he becomes a Red and he'll get as much support as the other players unless he does something to fuck it all up.

Its weird, you can see the football side of things gelling quite nicely (and thats usually the main concern), its just whether he fucks up the dressing room or not. Time will tell.

Re: Blackburn Accept Our £6m Bid For Bellamy
Raffa will lay the law down for sure. If he fucks this up, it will be his last big chance.
Worst case scenario is he acts the clown and we sell for next to what we paid for him, that makes it worth the gamble.

Re: Blackburn Accept Our £6m Bid For Bellamy
He seems to have been fine at Blackburn, so he gets the benefit of the doubt from me for now. As a player I think he's very good, but he still has plenty to prove as a person.

Re: Blackburn Accept Our £6m Bid For Bellamy
I don't deny he's gone too far on occasions, but I think his off field behaviour has been exagerated to ridiculous levels.

Getting married will see him grow up even more and hopefully focus his mind totally on football. I get the feeling wants to win things, and he couldn't be joining a better club for that.

Saying that, we don't want him to settle down too much. That fire in his belly and will to win makes him the player he is.

Agreed, without his problems he'b be at Manu or chelsea, very talented 15m plus footballer who we couldnt afford if he hadnt had his past

Think he's gonna be very special and FTR Bobby Robson reckons we'll win the title with him in our side
