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

Not open for further replies.
I don't mind them disgracing their club but when they disgrace the city by association then something needs to be done. Evra suffered horrific abuse from a demented weirdo and now has to put up with 40,000 racist booing him because he reported it.

In all seriousness it's genuinely racist and they should be punished for it.
 
I take it you've all seen this? Worth reading. Christ, if that's how they treat Evra, I hope Allardyce keeps Holgate's name off the team sheet next Derby.

We have just got beaten after a cowardly substitution and we resort to the bilge Toffee Tim comes up with. Are you on the pay roll lad, paid to post that guff to try and hide the problems at the Club. We got beat by Watford they won 4-1 and went second and have a bye to the last 8 of the CL. Yet you want to to and make fun of them.

Emperor's Clothes an all that.

And Liverpool are still hilarious, and their fans are still the gift that keeps on giving, and we will continue to laugh at them, no matter how rubbish we are. I bet Sunderland fans still make fun of Newcastle.

Well you know, I got roundly panned (on an Everton match thread in The Guardian) for daring to suggest, in return for Liverpool fans visiting to laugh at (another) poor Everton performance, that "Victim FC" had overstepped the mark when suggesting Firmino - oh, and wait for it - his family too, were distressed over the Holgate accusations... granted their player was found not guilty but that doesn't excuse the attitude of Liverpool Football Club. I find it atypical, and disgusting, that, rather than just going with the flow and keeping their counsel, they prefer to recall the faux distress of their player. Since everything in the matter was above board they could just have said they were content to move on and pleased with the outcome.

I didn't believe Holgate was abused by Firmino either. Allow me to present my version of what happened. Everton had just conceded a fairly needless penalty when Holgate, a young, relatively inexperienced player, was culpable for the foul. So here we are, Everton are having a bad 5 or 10 minutes and Firmino is, like many other players, giving it large to wind Holgate up.. words are exchanged, Holgate mishears and the rest we all know.. but, hey no one thinks it's much of a problem for Firmino to call Holgate "puto" despite the letter of the law saying otherwise (ungentlemanly conduct).

Not sure that Firmino was found 'not guilty'.

Spot on that.

For some reason, so many people associated with Liverpool don’t seem to realise how wrong it is to target someone for abuse from the stands for being brave enough to speak out against racism. Part of the problem is that so many Liverpool fans never read the report published by the FA and believe the accusation was fabricated by Evra...You can only imagine how Rhian Brewster, the young Liverpool player who bravely spoke out last year about the racist abuse he has suffered as a player, feels when seeing this behaviour from the supporters...It’s not only the fans at fault here, but the club too. While manager Jurgen Klopp came out in support of Brewster, he’s said nothing to discourage the treatment of Evra for merely being the victim of racist abuse. When asked about it after the game, he acknowledged he’d heard it, but quickly moved on by saying, “I don’t have the same history with Evra like maybe the Liverpool supporters have.”...Club statements and comments from managers demanding better behaviour from the fanbase are not a foreign thing. Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken out against Hillsborough chants, Manchester City have spoken out against Munich-themed song, so why is it taking Liverpool Football Club so long to tell the supporters to put a stop to the abuse of Evra?

I had a cracking argument with someone about Dagleish ( during the Holgate incident) and the reply was "yeah but that was back then and we had different owners and Dagleish isn't our manager anymore........nope.........he's now just got a stand named after him, is an ambassador for the club.....oh and FSG were the owners.

That carpet they sweep all their crap under must be looking buggered by now.
