Indeed Ricky, it's gotten out of hand see also this-

Cascarino never mentioned the persecution of Jews by the Nazi's during WW2, the word "Holocaust" has multiple meanings and applications.
Unfortunately we live in an age where every fucking monkey knows how to type words but doesn't understand the meaning of them.

i have a very efective idea can someone pass it to those in the know. ITK!!!

just before kick off when the cameras are on, the team forms a circle chain chanting very loudly, "NEGRITO! NEGRITO! NEGRITO!

Then in the midddle out pops a smiling glen johnson pulling up his jersey to reveal a t-shirt of suarez with a text saying. "OUR SUAREZ IS A FRIEND TO ALL COLOURS!"

this all ends with a loud "we willl never walk alone!" war cry from all the players1

I could not stop laughing.

How could a fan be so stupid. To be fair, most of the responses were pretty hillarious mocking the guy for posting it. And that mocking was just about the only bit of sanity I've seen from Liverpool fans over the past 24 hours.

FFS!

oh dear.

I just read that post again and burst out laughing.

They're the Ricky Gervais TV series of football clubs. Humour by excruciating self-humiliation.

Every football supporting person in my office is in tears reading that.

"Negrito! Negrito!"

oh god

Every club has their deluded lunatic fringe but in their case it seems that they taken over the asylum.
Not even our most deluded Wengerites were that deluded.

Love this reply:

Please tell me that was said as a joke!

Oh. Fuck. You're not.

It's the "Out pops a smiling Glen Johnson" bit that always gets me.

To their credit 99% of the replies are people saying "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard".

There is of course the guy saying:

There's no storm. The Suarez issue is a storm but this certainly isn't.

He's apologised for an incorrect and ridiculous description that no black person would and should accept and he's kept his job which is fine.

Next.

Apparently the RAWK members tried to rig the Sky Sports Player of the Year poll by voting for Suarez as a protest against the ban. Redcafe found out and started to vote for Nani instead. Apparently they found a way to sneak in votes even though the poll was officially closed. Now he's surpassed Suarez and the RAWK people are sending screenshots to Sky and Watchdog from back when Suarez was winning to prove that it's a fix.

This is sad and pathetic on so many levels. It's also brilliant entertainment.

That really is a pathetic waste of time.

And everyone really knows Van Persie was the best player of 2011. If only we gave a flying fuck about such a pointless poll...

I haven't stopped laughing since I read this.

It would make my week if Liverpool actually did this, if only for the hilarity and shock horror.

After I finnished laughing(it took a while) I realized that compared to most PL clubs that the Liverpool squad is very, err, white?

Remember how the press used to print those charts ranking the clubs according to which clubs had the most-to-least English players when they would talk about Arsenal and all our foreigners. If they did that looking at the percentage of black players, I think Liverpool would be at the very bottom. Not saying, that's it's on purpose by LFC or anything, it's just something that became highlighted with that Glen Johnson line.

Tim wrote:

Saurez's grandad was black. That counts for something, right?

Have you read the official Liverpool statement? It's completely embarassing and makes sure to go into the whole "his grandad's black!" "he has black friends!" line of reasoning. It's prettty cringeworthy.

For me, the reputation that has been damaged through all of this is LFC rather than Suarez. What a completely unproffesional club with a small time mentality. Many things at Arsenal can frustrate me, but thank god we would never be so completely unproffesional in our response to something like this.

Can you imagine Wenger or Fergie sporting a cheap T-shirt like that?

Even the lads over at Bluemoon and Glory-Glory are laughing at the numpties from Rawk.

When those two sets of fans can see that you're deluded well there isn't anything else to say.

Especially if he disliked his grandad.

I reckon that they should be charged by the FA for causing people discomfort due to excessive laughing.

Liverpool are just taking the piss here. I dont give a shit what they do in Uruguay, in this country you cant call a black person (or anyone) a "negrito". If you do there will be repercussions. End of story.

Well when you generalise an individual by just throwing them into any grouping you're already insulting them.

See, I actually think that if all he did was use the term "negrito" once or twice, while Evra called him "sudaco" or whatever it was, he and Liverpool have every right to appeal and try to get to the bottom of it. It's the way Dalglish and Liverpool have gone about it all that I find so classless. The English football media love a foreign scapegoat or hate figure. And as easy as it is to dislike someone like Suarez, I do think the FA are trying to make an example of him and are probably under extra pressure after all the outrage at Blatter in England. My amusement at the situation is pretty much squarely directed at LFC and Dalglish.

ETA and the Liverpool fans of course.

What a joke of a club.
You couldn't make this up

Indeed, Evra is no paragon of virtue himself.

It's a pity that no charges were laid over the vile Spuds fans abuse of Adebayor, we'd have a field day now.

Dailymail: "The picture that shows the caring side of John Terry as he poses in Hamleys with a black baby"

I know it's the dailymail, but how can any paper actually print a headline like that?

And if you scroll down in that article there's a picture of Suarez's laywer, with journalists crowding around, holding up a picture of Suarez with a black boy.

:gah:

"If you ever wanna see this kid again I suggest you drop the charges against us."

He probably had to give his jersey to that handicapped bloke as compensation for nicking his parking spot.

Crikey
It's all descended into proper farce.
Shows the contempt these people have for the reasoning powers of the masses when they resort to stunts like this.

Somebody somewhere is getting paid a fortune to advise Terry in these matters.
Pity they're not a bit more creative - they could make him do all sorts of ridiculous.
Though I suppose this is ludicrous enough.

That pic really isn't helping Terry's case.. he looks awkward as hell!

either you own the racism and appeal to a certain set of people (there are enough so you won't go broke) or you repent. don't try to claim your racism isn't really racism and you can't be a racist anyway because _____.

and that liverpool fan's idea about the players huddling around shouting the spanish version of nigger and their lone mix-raced player pops out of the middle like a god damn sambo in the box and subsequently turn himself into a pariah. welll fuck me no wonder these players and clubs think all they have to do is show they don't mind touching a black person to prove their racial bona fides?

is this what passes for crisis pr in england?
