Police investigating rascist gesture at Anfield

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

The beeb online are also saying that police are looking into a racial incident involving a fan.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

If its sky driving this what the hell are they going to make of that Luis gif celebrating Dirk's goal.

?

[Russ Atmosphere]

Sounds like a run-of-the-mill incident. It should be investigated and any wrongdoing punished but let's not pretend Sky are interested in anything but the tabloid presentation of football. Only controversy and incident are highlighted and debated by them, what has that got to do with football and contests like today which was played in good spirit. Why whip every little thing up until fans are ready for a riot, football deserves better than Sky.

Nothing about this on Granada Reports/News?

 

 

 

Sorry wrong, they returned to the FA game.... then mentioned it, but screwed up the report.

Does anybody really know for certain he was definitely making a monkey gesture?

 

Thats the only thing I'm confused about.

[shanks69]

as has been said if he is doing a monkey gesture ban him for life,in away what makes it worse not even a youngster he must be at least 50:wallbutt:

no but it looks like it and that's all that matters. Another fire has been lit and whether it's put out or not everyone will remember there was a fire.

 

if he did make that ridiculous racist gesture he should be kicked to death.

 

seriously I can't believe mutants like this still exist.

[cochyn]

Or he could just be singing "I'm a little teapot".

 

We just don't know at this moment in time.

especialy at a game like today when the media will have more eyes on the crowd than on the pitch.

I hate the media, i loathe social networking site's, and im sick to death of all this bollocks.

 

I've had a huge facebook row today because us 'racist scouse scum' were booing Evra. If this was a one off, i'd be annoyed but i'm getting into arguments constantly because the media drip feed all the clueless dickhead football fans snippets of shite which put us in a bad light, regardless of fact of relevance.

 

This guy could be putting something in his pocket, he could be coughing, he could be booing, he could be having a tourettes style tick, but because its us - he's being racist.

 

Im fucking sick of it, my will is seriously being pushed to the limits, as much as i love LFC - i actually actively despise everything else to do with football. I don't know how much more i can take

 

Well said brother. The media, especially broadcast news - for whatever reason - has become nothing more than the 'daily outrage'. No issues are covered, no enlightenment is given, when was the last time you watched a mainstream news report about anything, be it MRSA, immigration or Afghanistan, and felt any more informed coming out than you did going in? It's just bitesize snippets of anger/ourtage/terror and very little more. It's a disgrace and it's destroying the fabric of society, and I genuinely mean that.

[GUS]

Was George playing The Goodies' Funky Gibbon over the PA at the time?

[Iceman]

"Churnalism".

 

No facts, no indepth analysis, no straight reporting, just a big boiling pot of regurgitated, agenda driven, uncorroborated shite being churned 24 hours a day.

[Reacher]

They can find this but not Suarez being racist?

[xerxes]

The surprise is that there might have been just one idiot.

 

This game was a powderkeg, with the potential for considerable further damage for both clubs. Fortunately that potential was not realised.

 

The cod moralising, from both sets of fans, since the original Suarez incident has not ben particularly edifying.

 

All of us should be grateful that we have emerged from this game with a win, and no serious incidents to speak of. Perhaps we can get back to speaking about football soon.

[Section_31]

How the fuck are you supposed to keep bellends out of a football match? People go to the pictures and act like dicks, people go to the pub and act like dicks, why should a footy match be any different? Are we going to get this 'cops swoop on bellend at match' every fucking game now or what? Let the club handle it, ban him if it's true, but just shut the fuck up about it. It's not 'an issue', it's not Martin Luther King material, it's a bellend in a public place - simple as.

[esoteric]

Absolute bollocks, that's my uncle Harold who has just broken his collar bone - his arm's in a brace for goodness sake. He also, I believe, has terrible piles which will explain the pained expression as he stood.

I know exactly how you feel mate. It's fucking infuriating.

 

There is absolutely no way of knowing from the photo what this guy is doing. He could be coughing, booing, he could be going 'Ooh' and he could be getting something out of his pocket, scratching himself, readjusting his arms after stretching them out in appeal - anything. If there were monkey chants people would at very least have been looking around in horror. There may be something in it but can't help but think this is an attempt to create a story out of very little.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

Find it a bit odd there is no mention of it on the merseyside police site.

 

The beeb online still has there report of the police looking into it.

 

I not seen any mention of it on ssn either.

[Iceman]

I'm sick of hearing about these racist fucking jesters at our ground.

 

[gkmacca]

I just turned on SSN expecting to see a match report and instead they're running a story about Kenny refusing to condemn the fans for booing poor little Evra. Amazing. Maybe they're worried he'll get his knighthood. They've been chipping away at him for ages.

Why boy, where have you been all of your life? Don't you know that before today no player had ever been booed on a football field?

the police have made a statement thanking the vast majority of fans and only 17 fans kicked out of ground,also looking into a picture posted on twitter.

[satmann]

The picture does not show his other arm, which could be the key. Also last season there was a image showing nani's knee in a bad state which had been edited and released after the match.

 

If its true then hope he gets a life ban.

[gkmacca]

It's a strange picture to have taken. Presumably, if the bloke WAS making the gesture, he would surely have been making it for quite a few seconds before someone noticed it, got their camera and took the image, and unless he suddenly stopped I would have thought someone could have got a full picture of him instead of that single image of one arm and a bit of cardie. Ban the bloke if he really did do it but I'm getting really tired of these cameras scouring the crowd for such idiots. I've seen dolts being stupid in every ground I've ever visited and this obsession with Anfield is ridiculous.

[Guest San Don]

I saw united fans in the lower centenary side of the Anny Road making aeroplane gestures to us all during the game. Obviously trying to get a 'munich song' response which didnt happen. At the end of the game they were still doing it and a police inspector moved in and had a word.

 

I dont see how this latest picture proves a fucking thing.
