Raconteur Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 John Barnes on Sky News: "These incidents happen everywhere still." As offensive as KKK Dalglish, and Luis Suarez, and the t-shirt wearing players have been, John Barnes' attitude throughout this scandal has been fucking disgraceful. Of all the people in the world, he should be the man to say "I love my club, but we have to root this out." Instead, he is a mealy-mouthed apologist for the defence of racism.

Guest Chubby Jason Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I would hardly call it sickening to be honest. Not everyone has to share the same opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I would hardly call it sickening to be honest. Not everyone has to share the same opinion. Just so I understand your opinion, you think it's okay for a black man who was subjected to this sort of racial vilification his whole career to then turn around and say, effectively, that Liverpool fan's treatment of a black player shouldn't be highlighted in the current debate because they happen everywhere else? Because in the context of the current debate, that's what is being said. His attitude has consistently been one of defending his former club when he has a unique ability to lead the debate and the campaign to eradicate racial vilification from the game. So, you're right, that might not be sickening, but I certainly find it so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Maybe you should write Barnes a letter telling him what to think if you feel so strongly about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're right, that might not be sickening, but I certainly find it so... Not to mention that he has been outspoken about the exact same kind of thing many times in the past, and rightly so. It's only since Liverpool became involved that he's done a complete about face and gone from being right to being wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elbee909 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hitting women goes on in other parts of the world, and it perfectly acceptable there, so it seems wrong to persecute Downing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just spotted this on the front page of RAWK in their intro to their match report about our game at Klanfield, So another game that sees us have 1089% possession only for the away team *(oh and what's with the kicking toward the Kop first half all about, twats, no dignity trashy barcodes...) to score first Wait, wat? They took the direction we chose to kick in as being some kind of personal slight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
