Liverpool vs Man City - Premier League (19/20 - Game 12)

[Rowan]

sterling is a lighter version of suarez...

He told QPR he had no intentions of signing a new contract to push a move away at an early age. We all know about his shenanigans with us to force a move to £ity

Its all about him, him and him

To the point and I know I am going to get pelters here......

He had a great year last year and was the closest rival to VDV for Player of the season. In my opinion I felt at the time he threw himself into the forefront of the fight against racism improve his profile, standing and maybe, just maybe this would edge player of the season for him

Bare with me......B Silva's interchange with Mendy in the media sites. Subsequently charges by the FA. Where was sterling in all of this? The person who feels so so strongly about this. Nothing, zilch, in fact I believe he backed his team mate

Like I said earlier its all about raising his stock

Disclaimer, I realise the above might be a little incendary and it is just my thoughts. Just for clarification I am against racism and the majority of my friends are in fact from other creeds and skin tones. Including my dearest other half

Mods, please feel free to moderate if deemed necessary

I admire him for speaking out on racism. Its commendable and shouldn't be understated.

However, it is somewhat offset by the fact he takes hundreds of thousands of pounds a week of an organisation involved in the religious cleansing of neighbouring states, is at least a partner in the perpetration ofmassive human rights violations in Saudi, has an abysmal level of tolerance for equality and is currently trying to hide all that under buckets of oil and wide scale sports washing.

Yet to hear Raheems view on all that. Possibly like his wages a bit too much.

I am still of the opinion. He tried to use the racism issue for his own personal use to try and get more votes for POTY. The B Silva scandal backs this up

The thing with Gomez. We were lucky it wasnt one of our lighter skin tone players. As he would have played the racism card and someone would have been facing a lengthy ban

regardless of his media charm offensive, sterling is a complete scumbag. What goes around, comes around. Eventually he will get his just rewards

Wow.

You're entitled to your opinion, but wow.

[Alex]

Yeah Im not totally comfortable with that. I get its your opinion, its not inflammatory. But I do not see it like that at all.


Sterling being a bit of a scumbag has zero to do with his or anyone elses skin colour. He never mentions this in relation to football, so why do you here?

[dom9]

He's a lovely fella yeah. Was great the way he tried to injure Van Dijk, threw tantrums all game, dived everywhere then assaulted one of our players in a pre meditated attack. And then there's him glossing over Bernardo's racism.

He's some boy.

**** happens on the pitch.

I don't remember anyone baying for the psycho, Bellamy after he attacked Riise with a golf club.

And as for glossing over racism, why should he speak out publicly on it? If the situation happened at Liverpool, would you expect a team mate to go public on it? Doubt it.

Errrmm he did speak out publicly and defended Bernardo.

[dom9]

Errrmm he did speak out publicly and defended Bernardo.

I must have missed that.

[Maxiedge]

Exactly. You can't be having a go at a newspaper article being racist for mentioning a player buying a house in a roundabout sort of way and then defend what must be the two most blatant racism offences committed by B Silva just because he's your teammate. Aside from assaulting his girlfriend and now Gomez.

If you're looking at role models then people like Van Dijk and Mane are much better examples.

[Alex]

I dont think anyone should be in a position to say what can and cannot be considered racist.

Sterling is only human, so his natural reaction to defend his team mate. But because he did that, doesnt mean his stuff on calling out racism in the media should be diminished.

I personally think hes been a positive influence on the game in that regard.

On the subject of his loyalty, why should be loyal? Some people just want to be selfish and do the best for them. I wont knock him for that. Hes not a Liverpool player, so I dont care either.

Do we know the booing was related to the Sterling incident and not that Labour Red and Lecter got their hands on a couple of England tickets?

[dom9]

England fans are a breed apart.

[Buzzo]

It is an unbelievable turn of events.

But it is all on Sterling. He started all of this.

As for the England supporters... I literally don't get it at all, has to be an anti-LFC issue.

No but I did get tickets to see big Virgil tomorrow night.
