Klaus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 He’s canny thick for getting that as tattoo like (he was obviously going to get stick for it), but it’s also his choice and people shouldn’t get their knickers in a twist over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Stupid tattoo but F365 in particular have highlighted the ridiculous amount those dirtbags have targeted Sterling in recent times. My outrage at how such a disgusting publication can remain totally outweighs my negative feelings on that tattoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The Sun and Mail absolutely fucking despise him because he’s young, black and successful and hasn’t played for a preferable club in London. It’s dog whistle racism because they don’t have the balls to just state it. https://twitter.com/adamkeyworth/status/1001218545588502530 He’s already posted about his Dad, literally, being shot to death about it BTW. And I don’t even like the bloke that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 They’ve had it in for Raheem as soon as he mad noise about wanting out of Liverpool he’s been targeted. Don’t know how he handles it internally. But he posted a funny Instagram post with him and Delph with the snake and plane emoji some time ago which made me chuckle.

triggs Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Usually I'd be on Sterling's side and he has been treated disgracefully by the tabloids in the past but that's a really stupid tattoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Of course he can have whatever tattoo he likes, but we also have a right to think it is stupid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It is a fucking stupid tattoo mind. Doesn't change the fact it's not worthy of being front page news and is yet another example of blatant racism from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Usually I'd be on Sterling's side and he has been treated disgracefully by the tabloids in the past but that's a really stupid tattoo It's not at all. Tattoos are (most of the time at least) personal and have a meaning for whoever gets them. His tattoo has a deeper meaning for him due to his father, it's not up to anyone else to criticize his choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Usually I'd be on Sterling's side and he has been treated disgracefully by the tabloids in the past but that's a really stupid tattoo so fuck? he's a grown man, he can have whatever tattoo he likes, what has it got to do with anyone else but him? Does having a tattoo = I love guns? Alright calm down I just think getting a tattoo of a gun is a terrible idea. I actually don't mind Sterling though and have stood up for him for both on field and off field stuff when he was getting pelters on here in the past Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His weapon of choice is his feet, rather than actual weapons - which is a path his life could have taken due to the environment he was in when growing up. So essentially the gun tattoo symbolizes the path he chose to follow. It's how I've understood the situation, at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Never thought I'd give this much thought to, or defend, a footballer's tattoo, mind Just out of all the shit tattoos out there, this one at least has a deeper meaning, even if I agree the tattoo itself isn't a looker.

wormy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think what pisses me off more was deciding it was an offence to both buy luxury items or look for bargains.

The College Dropout Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Being Raheem Sterling, it doesn’t seem like the wisest moves. But considering that sink was front page news, Seemingly he’s gone the ‘fuck it’ route. The Sun: Raheem Sterling. Greedy bling boy buying expensive tat. Also The Sun: Raheem Sterling. Cheap bastard extraordinaire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Too much focus on selecting players deemed versatile has ironically enough left the squad looking very unbalanced. This is a superb post and sums it up perfectly. There's nothing there apart from Kane, Vardy and Sterling. Everything else is pish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is the guy allowed to buy? It's unbelievable they get away with it on all fronts. It's the Sun's working class paradox. If it was Kate Middleton it would be oh so adorable that she was scrimping in poundland, and she would look 'simply stunning' in even the cheapest of Primark rags.
