ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[davek]

You knew RAWK would come up with the linguistic analysis:

'I'm going to be the ministry of the bleeding obvious on this one and point out that we have an incident based on; 1/ a Brazilian who has been in the country for about a year and 2/ having a discussion with a heavy accented Sunderland lad.'

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Apparently this is the evidence against Henderson here.



You see him mouthing two or three times the word 'M**k*y'.

FA need to step up here.

Mickey?

He's having a pop at the Irish now.

Rageh Omaar - a journalist who's been to all the major conflicts in recent times: Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine....he is not prepared though for the danger he's just placed himself in.

RAWK:

"Hope that Rageh Omaar scum has deep pockets."

You must have incredible eyesight and lip reading ability if you can tell what he is saying there

It's not me who spotted it. But I can see what they mean. You can clearly see what he's saying twice fits with what is claimed.

Look at the evidence: Gabriel goes ballistic
Firmino's deflated look at Henderson as if to say 'why did you do that?'
Henderson slumping away from it all in shame


He's said a shocking thing there.

I'm not saying he hasn't said something really bad. From the reactions it certainly looks that way. But I don't know how anyone can claim they can tell what he has said from that video.

With respect you don't see him mouthing monkey, you see him mouthing something but the footage is nowhere near clear enough to make out anything he may or may not have said

They can claim it but they cant prove it. The FA will have that and a complete panoply of video from all angles to show to experts....if theylre taking this seriously.

The word is a common form of abuse in Sunderland. Someone from there would automatically reach for it.

No idea if it is, but Reidy when Manager there, ran the North Run with a picture of a monkey on the back of his shirt.

It's no cornucopia, but it'll do for a Monday

Havnt got an opinion on this,I wasn’t there. Just watch how tribal the kopites go on this now though, rather than just say “god I hope he hasn’t said that, I’m sure he’s not like that” Gabriel will be a liar, the sky cameras will have been doctored, they’ll be loads of reds who just happened to have grown up in Sunderland and can testify that the word in question is actually seen as a compliment there, and all of them will be expert lip readers aswell.
