Racial abuse at Anfield, Liverpool fans singing a song with the line " Fuck off Juve" in it. ( 40th anniversary of Heysel year, imagine the outcry if something similar was sang any year about Liverpool by any fans) Sky creaming themselves over Liverpool. Liverpool getting every ounce of luck. The Jota thing overdone which isn't a surprise. I'm not deliberately being disrespectful, but why as a football club do Liverpool FC put so much contrived emotion into tragedies.
I didn't see the Slot interview but I did see an online quote where he was alleged to have said " when it was 2-2 , do you know what player I was looking for on the bench? Diogo Hota, but I couldn't "....If that is true, it is fucking sick , it isn't fair on Jota's wife, kids and family.
Finally if any ' Pool fan tells you it was only one fan involved in the racial abuse you can remind them it was only one Palace fan that disrupted the minutes silence last week.

BBC website:

Reds head coach Arne Slot told Sky Sports: It takes the shine off it (game) a bit because our fans were amazing, especially with the tributes to Diogo."

They can’t help themselves, can they? bringing everything back to the fact that a player that they were actively trying to sell, died.

When asked about the racial abuse slot replied

“”It's under investigation with the police now. We've made a very clear statement. This day should be about Diogo (Jota) and the tribute, but we have to address this. It's unacceptable. I spoke to him (Semenyo) after the game to say we will do everything to find this person and wherever we can we will try to help.””

Someone in the PL needs to tell the mousers to get over it, it’s done now and the appropriate amount of tribute was paid vs palace. Everything after that is just a club with massive levels of self pity and fans who get off on the grief porn aspect of it.

New rule should be brought in for a player that passes away, one tribute for 60 seconds at your own home ground. Put the picture up and have a minutes silence or applause depending on what’s appropriate and then your done.

I’d say a lot of clubs would tell the mousers to fuck off with their tributes if they thought they’d get away with it.

Dippers in racism complete non-shocker. Singing songs about Juventus. Fucking disgusting. Absolutely fucking disgusting shithole of a club with no morality or decency. The press have indulged them and made excuses for them for so long that they've lost any sense of perspective of what is 'normal' behaviour. Their hypocrisy never fails to surprise anyone. Just watch their contacts in the press try and brush all this under the carpet as quickly as possible whilst jumping all over the next story that they try to spin as deeply affecting them.

Supporters of every other are fucking sick of it now. That spitting scouse cûnt being a cûnt every fucking time, spouting off about any shit and trying to create an issue about fucking everything from opposition players to fucking songs about food banks. Somebody fucking shut this cûnt up and start calling him out on that fucking cesspit of a club. Racist, murdering fucking scum. Justice for the 39. Forever.

Yeah, but can you imagine the media outcry, the self pitying from Scousers , the cries of disrespect for Hillsborough etc etc. I'm sorry but it is football and football is business too as much as we hate admitting it.
My employer would be respectful if an employee died, they would do the appropriate things and put measures in place etc. However neither my colleagues or I could go to work everyday and use the death of a colleague to stop the rest of the world turning. The whole thing is now becoming disrespectful rather than supportive for Jota's family and close friends who are genuinely grieving the loss of two men.

One of my buddies sent me on a social media post (I think from twitter) by someone under the title "Footy Feed" where he tries to totally downplay the racist incident saying that it was only one supporter and "there is no need to make it a big thing" - are you fcuking kidding me ?? This poster (obviously a dipper) should go up to konate or van dick or any of their current black players and tell them to their face that it isnt a big deal :roll: Quite apart from the fact that it is a criminal offence, downplay it this week and you will have hundreds doing it next week

Over here in Ireland for years as a young lad I didnt think that it would possible to hate any set of fans more than I hated the manure c.unts (sheer volume of the b*stards :evil: ), and then local rivalry kicked in and I hated the scum and chavs more than anyone else, but now I'm thinking there is no-one worse than these self obsessed murdering scouse victim c.unts :censored: :censored: :censored:

Watching their keeper for that pricks 2nd goal I can only surmise Scott Parker and co have given up from day 1, there’s cripples would be outta the chair and over to it faster.
