A view from an annoyed supporter

[Guest]

As ever,you took an opportunity to reply to my post with sarcasm.

I was yanking it, as ever. If you know me in real life, I'm not at all related to my internet personae.

[andyhanrahan]

to be honest if we really want to insult hicks we should call him a redneck as yank is historically a term used to describe people from the northern states ( last time I looked texas was in the south)

Come on then, which RACE.

You do know what a race is, don't you fredo?


Yankee(yank): A slang name for an American, originally taken from a Mark Twain book meaning people from New England and then extended during the civil war to mean someone fom the northern states of America.

Bushists: A political term for a republican or a supporter of George W Bush

Smithsonians: WTF is a SmithsTonian? Regardless I've not heard anyone use that term and it is certainly not racist, it is a term for the Smithsonian institute. Pointless talking about that but how the hell is that racist?

Scientologists: A member of the Scientology cult.

Over to you, fredo

You've gone too far !

I was trying to be pendantic.

Basically, the point is: people should be very careful about using the word "racist" unless they know what the **** it means

You failed

Why are you focusing on the Race part of my post. I could remove that line and it would still mean the same. There is a quote in Fredos signature that puts what i was saying best.

[Redspin]

Theres a rasist quote.

People are missing my point. Its peoples attitudes that annoy me.

Rasist may be a bit strong, but Americans are a race of people in the same way the British are.

Neither the Americans nor the British are "races"; they are nationalities. To be American or British you can be from one of many races. Have a look around next time you visit either country

It's a very emotive and dangerous word.
To call fans/forum members "racist" (in a serious way, not the way Reece does it ) is almost as insulting as actually being racist.

I think an edit would be a good idea, then we can discuss the rest of the post.

Why is everyone continually focussing on the minor and unimportant detail. Nit-picking as usual. We want Rafa to stay and our owners to leave. Simple. Why consume our time with these continual petty arguements.

I hate all of you...

This is a thing thats been niggling at me for a while now.

I know that the Americans are probebly not right for Liverpool, thats obvious. But its the reaction of some of our fans. The behaviour of some has been a little disgraceful.

We are LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB. Fans should be supporting the team and manager through thick and thin. I for one couldnt care less who owns us, my passion is for the players on the pitch. Not the men in suits. All this "Yank bashing" is a little rascist and not befitting of the club we are....or were as it seems to be. Liverpool fans were once known as the most knowledgeable in the world. Now we are a laughing stock in some parts.

I was all for singing Rafas name insted of YNWA a while back, but i do not think a protest against businessmen is the right thing for the players on the pitch. As ive said, i watch to support the lads, not to protest the owners.

I hope this makes sense, not a attack on anyone directly. Just a niggling feeling about the club.

Rubbish, it's because of our passion & feeling towards the club that THE YANKS are being abused, sit quietly if you like but it wont help our cause one jot, Give the tossers HELL i say.

Racism, nor the accusation of racisim is neither petty or nit picking

I apologise profrusly for using ONE WRONG WORD. Perhaps it should read Xenophopic.

Oh for goodness' sake, yes, yes, yes, racism is very serious, blah-dee blah. Can we not just get back to why we're on this site, that's all?
