Shame on you liverpool

Yeah, to think that liverpool fans are doing the same thing as Suarez and that's why he deserved to be banned for 8 games.. lol I don't think Fifa is doing enough to stamp out racism in football and there should be more serious consequences and punishments. Punishments like fine doesn't help things since those big clubs are filthy rich, maybe what fifa or FA can do is, deny them the chance of winning any titles, like playing mahjhong, "zha hu", can't win the game.. haha

Yes, racism is getting more and more serious now, especially when players insulted another player, and this has turn on the trend, making it spreading like wild fire. Points deduction do not help at all, instead the club should be relegated immediately. I'm sure EPL or any other leagues won't do that because of the tv revenue losses. At the end of the day, people are only concerned about profits and money, disregarding human rights.

I beg to differ on this point. I'm a fan of neither Liverpool nor Manchester United. The incidence you referred to is not an isolated case; it happens all the time. Supporters of a team may decide to boo the players of the opposing team to discomfit them. This is a mere psychological battle. I feel professional players should learn to focus on the game and not on the "boos". I feel the eight-match ban on Suarez was too harsh. He moved over from the Netherlands where there are many black players. He claimed that the name he called Evra wasn't an insult. I feel the FA should have looked for language experts to verify his claim.

i dont think it`s no relation between the fans and the result see only the field my friend liverpool play good tonight..

This kind of thing happens at all grounds, not just at Liverpool AND there was only one guy involved, so hardly a hanging offence. Man U have the worst fans in the country for arrests so I don't think you should single out Liverpool fans like that.

I hate racism. I am also a Manchester United supporter. Yes, the booing from Liverpool supporters for Evra every time he touched the ball was deafening. But I am not sure if that had to do with racism or just a way to show displeasure for Evra's dispute with a Liverpool player - whatever that dispute is. It happened that the dispute was about racism but I am sure the booing will be as loud if the quarrel was about a former player joining their arch rival like what Rooney got from Everton fans. No doubt some in the crowd might be racists but I think it was just a minority and people like that exist everywhere. These people don't represent Liverpool. If Liverpool were racists, they would not have signed colored players like Glen Johnson and the great John Barnes. As there will always be people who will abuse racially, it is unfair to ban the club for something nobody can do anything about.

Which incident are your referring to? Of course, I watched the match on TV and as the focus is on the game and there was no coverage of the stands. So I do not really understand which incident you are referring to. Racism needs to be stamped out of the game. There is no doubt about it. But banning fans from the stadium might not be the great way to go about it. Cheers! Ram

Well, I know that there are a lot of times with sports that there are acts of racism that occur. However, I don't think that when things like this happen that the athletes should be punished because they really don't have any control over what happens that their spectators do. With that said, the only rightful punishment that can happen is that those that do it should be ejected, but realize that no system is perfect.

If that is bad, imagine what Chelsea fans did. There were reports that a bullet was sent to Anton Ferdinand. Chants thou bad, it is nothing compare to such threats. I agree that FA should hit those cowards hard. But instead of deducting points, they should force the club to play behind close door. The length increase everytime. This will serve a warning to the fans and also hit the club where it hurts most, the pocket.

I think that football is a rough sport, because it is played mainly by "hooligans" and you cannot expect better from the fans neither. And let me tell you something: I think that racism exists since there is humanity on the world and it will exist till humanity will die out. So I think that too much sensitivity in the the football is not good, because that is how things are. I don't agree with the team to be punished for something that exists on football stadium all around the world. A fan of Man United who hates Liverpool and the fans of the team is racist too, but not based on skin color but on affinity reasons. I am sure that the hardcore fans of every team on the world are chanting racist things, so we just have to accept that football is like this. We should watch the game and shut our ears when we hear things we don't like.

I didn't watch the match. But yes, I've read the news. And even it has a photograph of a Liverpool fans mimicking (i'm sorry) one of the primates. Whether it's true or not, i don't really know. But if it's true, hope Liverpool will get a deserve punishment. If not, well someone got to make a clearance about this.
