They just wont do them for anything will they?

200+ mob screaming abuse and intimidating people in a car they thought was carrying 'dem Yanks'...two of them get done for "threatening, abusive or insulting words or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress"...and then the chocolate fireguard 'community court' (whatever the fcuk that is) let's them walk out the door without reprimand.

Un-*******-believable.

as we know every single club has a yob element and they need getting rid of not just in football but society.

sooner the better

Honestly though....What have Dem Yanks done to deserve all that?

Buy Torres and Mascherano?

They need hanging they do.....

On second thoughts, can you imagine how made up they'd have been if they'd been found guilty? The campaigns they'd have gotten up and running in the Echo and the national media? Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch would have been run off their feet.

Good call, Community Court toy judge.

I never realized that "Yanks" was a derogatory term. I guess I never really cared either.

I honestly believe that the FSW encourages that type of thing, he screws up badly and blames them...............................RS brain cells don't exist.............they are all suited to each other, racist lot anyway


YANKS GO HOME!

Yanks out is hardly racist to be honest. Liverpool fans do take themselves too seriously.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Good job they don't have any Yamk players what would they shout then.

 

[Nordecke]

Yank is not racist.. Atleast to us yanks it's not..

the threatening behaviour charge covers a lot more than yanks, if they were swearing then it's a public order offence and they can be prosecuted by the police. it is also within the hearing of someone likely to be offended.

It is like a Kiwi calling an Englishman a Pom. It isn't offensive in the slightest (although it originated from the civil war, the southerners called the northerners Yankee's, or something......)

i suppose the context in which it is said comes into it really.
i didn't mind aussies calling me a pom as much as i did kiwi's, as in new zealand it was used more when wanting to be offensive. a south african called me it once and i hit the roof, it was just after apartheid ended and they all fled, i questioned how a s.a. could call anyone a derogatory name.

That's exactly it - it's context. I suspect the Kopites were screaming 'Yank [Poor language removed]' or something of that nature.

Still, I think it's best the 'judge' threw it out...there'd have been 500 belters marching on Downing Street with balls and chains around their ankles screeching about the latest persecution.

if it was followed by the c word then that would be an offence, only a person who is american can really say wether it's an offensive term, i pulled a foreman in n.z for callong me a pom, i was deadpan saying i would have him for racial discrimination, he shoite big style then produced an article saying that it's not an offensive term, i argued that the judge who said so was a kiwi, so if need be i would take it to their highest court...... the privy council..... in london, where they may not be so sympathetic.
i even roped in the maori h.r. woman and we had him on a plate.
