I dont think any LFC fan would say otherwise. Yes, we've had racist chanting in the past and perhaps as uncomfortable as it may sound, probably have pockets of it here and there amongst some of our fans. But that would be no different to any other fottball club in Britain despite what the meedja would like you to believe. To my knowledge a number of PL clubs had racially aggrevated convictions last season while LFC had none. Why are SSN, the daily wail and manc not delivering this info to the masses? Answer, it doesnt suit their agenda. I dont know how many other clubs publically declare before each game that unacceptable behaviour, race, sex, religion etc (you know George's pre match statement) but I find it abhorent the amount of stick the club is coming in for, based on hearsay (rueben hazell & dean furman) rather than hard FACTS as they like to say. To the anti LFC mob out there, this oldham player's 'incident' is just mana from heaven for them. At the moment, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that racist abuse was directed at him. The matter is still under investigation. But incredibly, at a time when there is even more smoke and mirrors than you can shake a stick at, we as a club and fans have been judged and found guilty. All that is left is for us to be sentenced. One can only thank goodness court trials are no longer enacted under such hysteria. The amount of inuendo I've seen presented as fact is simply disgusting. rueben Hazell is spouting his 'opinion' as fact all over twatter. And his evidence? His mate the oldham player says so. Now fair play, I can understand anyone supporting their mate. But, going around saying it is 'FACT' goes beyond that. He's also suggesting that any fan with a Suarez t shirt or scarf waving it around in the eye line of a black player is tantamount to racist behaviour. I should make clear he doesnt actually say all this in his tweets but he does use t shirts and scarfs twoards his mate questionably. Both the daily wail and daily manc have on their web pages, a youtube window headed 'racist Liverpool fans hurl abuse at TA.' OK, click the windows and a message displays the vid is unavailable but, they still have left the very suggestive screenshot on their pages. Its more inuendo and more smoke and mirrors. its the 'we arent saying LFC fans are racist but we'll leave that up to the reader.' Fuck off with such shit. They wouldnt be allowed to do this before a court case, why should they be allowed to drag our name through the mud like this? I see another fan on the forum claims he was called a 'racist' in tesco today by his mate (was he joking or what?). The danger here is clear for all to see. How many onlookers would know it was a 'mate' saying that? How many agreed with his mate? And what if next time you are in tesco or morrisons and some twat calls you racist? Do you ignore them, argue the toss or deck the twat? Robbie Fowler was recently criticised for going to a fancy dress party (yeah really, a fancy dress party) as lionel richie because he 'blacked' up! Incredulous! The meedja are fanning the flames of hatered at LFC and us now. Despite what one poster in particular has said, this isnt something LFC can control. Its gone beyond that and its out of control. Emily Nugent's lad wasnt even in the country when this latest issue blew up. Yet he had us banged to rights if anyone read his obscene ramblings on twatter. He also filed copy at 1 minute past midnight on the issue too. Couldnt wait to get your nose in the trough, eh ollie? I dont know how this latest shit is going to play out. Maybe we need a sacrificial fan to be slaughtered on the alter of racism? If no one is brought to account, you just know the wider community is going to say 'oh well, what do you expect? Merseyside Police just brushed it under the carpet.' We'll be damned if no one is brought to book and we'll be damned if someone is found to have utter some racist remark no matter what action the club takes. What is worrying though is that is every black player now going to play the race issue when we sing for Luis, wear a luis t shirt or wave a Luis scarf?
