My view is that Liverpool have no moral values. After all, last January they spent ?60m on two players, one accused of assaulting a woman and the other known for cannibalism on the pitch.



edit to remove a double negative.

No I've never been racially abused, and I never said that because he didn't react, it couldn't have happened. Again with the putting words in my mouth.


Zidane was a pro too by the way.


I think the only thing that is clear is that UDT doesn't like Liverpool, and so will spout any old shite about them.


Like I've said several times, IF there is any evidence of wrongdoing, he should be punished. Until that happens, most sane people won't be convinced of his guilt just because they don't like his club.

Otta, your statements seems to be getting more ridiculous as time goes by. I've never said I hated Liverpool or any other clubs for that matter. All I did was merely pointed out Liverpool's moral position when it comes to buying players.


Zidane acted unprofessionally during the World Cup final game against Italy. Are you seriously saying he acted entirely professionally in the sending off incident?

I wasn't aware any morality existed nowadays in the world of transfers or football for that matter. If a player is important enough to a club they will overlook just about anything so long as it doesn't interfere with his ability to play.


Off the top of my head I can remember MU sacking Tommy Doc for having being caught having an affair with the wife of another employee. You could say that was a moral stance. Anyone think of other examples?

AM,


Glen Hoddle and Terry Venables as England managers. Their sackings were totally unrelated to football. Terry Venables had technically resigned his position but there were question marks about his business interests though.


Also, Mutu sacked by Chelsea for taking drugs.

Okay then. I'll be sure to do more research about the allegation. Clearly I'm missing the evidence that proves Suarez guilty.

At the other end of the spectrum, Arsenal supporting Tony Adams after his prison sentence for drink driving, and Paul Merson after admitting his addictions to drink, drugs, and gambling. Oh and Paul Davis after breaking an opponents jaw.

If memory serves me correctly Patrick Vieira accused Neil Ruddock of racism a few years back, during a rather unpleasant exchange which saw Vieira spitting at "Razor"? Ian Wright also famously accused Peter schmeichel of racism during a typically friendly encounter.

Really?? I thought it was because the opponent had raked the back of his ankle, or part of his leg, with his studs??

      What is the evidence for that, exactly?

      I won't thank you at all for posting such nonsense. Antisemitism is rife in London. Week after week for ell over two years people have been out on the street protesting Jews' rights to exist. Jews have been driven out of this country before (as with other European countries) and have to fight very hard all the time to stop that happening again. It happened in East London too in the 1930s, as Hitler rose to prominence. 100,000 citizens of East London signed a petition to block the BUF march in Cable Street. Of course it was ignored and the fascists caused all sorts of chaos across the East End. At least back then the Independent Labour Party were on the right side of history and opposed the BUF march against the Jews. Many of them would be on the other side now supporting Fascism. It's not toxic to state such facts. To flinch from the truth is toxic.

      What nonsense.  It's social mobility.  Huguenots moved to the East End and once they made a bob or two moved to more upmarket areas. Subsequently Jews.  Now Bangladeshi, particularly making a pretty penny once the hipsters moved in.   Antisemitism was a small factor and this was a generation or more ago.   "Jewish people moved out of London's East End between 1900 and the 1950s primarily to escape overcrowded, impoverished conditions and seek better housing and improved social standing in the suburbs." I expect few of us living in the area have witnessed first hand antisemitism.  We may well have seen racism against black, brown people and maybe Eastern Europeans.  Anti Irish sentiment was still prevalent 30 years ago - partly due to the troubles but partly some British superiority complex encouraged by generations of lewd comedians,  Glad that is behind us now.   Why do you have to make such toxic comments?  You'd be better off doing some research and educating yourself.  Here's some reading: https://www.ideastore.co.uk/local-history/collections-and-digital-resources/user-guides/migration-and-communities-in-the-east-end You don't have to thank me.

      I hear there is a task force on the oceans but I was confused to where it is going - Greenland?  The EU or UK in view that the former has a new trade deal and no doubt the PM is after a new one. @Sephiroth The state sponsored killings in the US and Iran got me thinking.  Whilst the scale is clearly different it's still hypocritical.  Not fact checked but apparently several hundred people are killed each year in the 'States by law enforcement officers.  in the UK it's around a couple so corrected for respective populations a couple of percent of the US figures.
