2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Blackwell Livermore]

It's 2023, not 1923.

Grow.

Aye, everyone needs to get in touch with their inner school girl.

Accusing a fan base who have worshipped players such as Yakubu, Lukaku, Yobo, Richarlison, Earl Barret, Amokachi etc of racism towards one of our own players is nonsense. Yeah there's the odd bigot in every 40,000 people but we're not a racist group of supporters.

Am glad I managed to escape that Earl Barrett cult all them years ago...Sciencetology has got nothing on it. Some fellas never make it out and are trapped in a hellish Earl Barrett nightmare forever more.

….if fans showed their feelings at Villa Park when he went off, it’s just them venting their frustration. We all care about our club but people are different and can’t suppress their feelings or reason in such situations. It doesn’t make it right but its just the way some people are.

Nor should you, you can barely think yourself
Parroting bigoted talking points isn't critical thinking
And nobody is telling you how to think,
think what you want, but don't pretend it's some sort of noble debate worthy of finding a common ground when you spew your specific brand of thought out of your head
Of course people will call you out as a knob, because you are a knob

If objecting to a grown man dressing as a school girl and saying he could / should be being a role model in a different more positive way makes me a knob then I’ll take that all day

I wonder what it says about you lot?

Calvert Lewin was taken advantage of, I’m sure he’s learnt from it, everyone makes mistakes. I’d be surprised if he done something similar again.

As you say people are different, and some people do have a deep-seated hatred for Calvert-Lewin because of who he is and how he chooses to live his life.

There was certainly an element of that bound up in the frustration from some of those fans.

I hope the person that “worshiped earl Barrett” has found something else in his life because clearly they were in a dark place at that time.

I see what you did there.

Nah not having that. Where do you draw the line with that excuse?

Hope this is the end of his injury worries, the lad deserves a break from them to be fair. I know it's frustrating for the fans but that must be tenfold for Dom.

Couldn’t you just apply this to like, murderers too?

I think it's wrong to say that every supporter who doesn't like Dom is a racist, because as you say, the vast majority of the support base are not racists

I do think it's fair to say though that every racist we do have probably doesn't like Dom, and sometimes it's worth baring that in mind when certain people are so passionately against him

Strong as an Ox Earl Barrett? Giggs’ number one nemesis Earl Barrett? - Legend

I think it's perfectly reasonable to say that booing a player for going off injured is not something that should be protected by the "venting frustrations" excuse

Mis-placed passes, silly yellow/red cards, missing open goals, generally sloppy/crappy play etc?

Yup, I can excuse someone for booing in the heat of the moment there

However, booing a player when they're going off injured, especially after Dom had incurred that injury in efforts of helping the team score a vital goal? Nope, I can't sanction that I'm afraid

The "we didn't know why he was injured" argument doesn't hold water for me either. If you don't know why a player is injured then give them the benefit of the doubt

Forget being a good supporter or not. Just don't be a jerk

I wouldn't say it's racism.

More homophobia, despite him probably not being gay.

He made their peepee hard in that uniform and it makes them so very angry.

But hey, let's hope he keeps playing and scoring, that's the best outcome for everybody.

Well he's recently had a kid, so at the very least he likes women as well lol

I'm not here to judge Mikey, some people like to bat for both sides and that's ok.
