Maybe they haven't seen it? It doesn't appear to have got that much publicity. Alternatively, they might not want to upset the Scousers again so quickly. They're still crying about the Suarez thing.
They can't really crack down on players swearing at eachother. As we saw with the Suarez case, it's often time consuming, expensive and difficult to always prove. Best to keep it to the language that really crosses the line.
Xenophobia isn't made an issue of the UK. Rightly or wrongly there's little the FA can or would do about that kind of verbal provocation
Deducting five points, plus playing three games behind closed doors - really give them something to whine about.
http://forums.liverpoolfc.tv/showthread.php?t=289760 Interesting response from a Scouse forum....... Appear to find Bellamy's comments amusing and don't seem to understand that adding a racial element ('Dutch') into his tirade changes the scenario!! No wonder their fans can't get the message if the club itself clearly can't begin to understand the basic issue!!
I'm starting to pray nightly that all teams realistically capable of finishing above Liverpool do so this year (Tweedle City & Tweedle Utd, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Stoke and Sunderland). My dad tells me that back in the day, Liverpool were one of the VERY few teams given a standing ovation as they came out onto the WHL pitch, as they were seen as true footballing legends and ambassadors of the game- a credit to english football. Now, they are nothing more than a disgrace: Arrogant, delusional, self-righteous, blinded by past successes, good for nothing other than p*ssing off every other team in the EPL.
Suffocating amount of hyperbole on this thread. Guess we should all off ourselves for the good of world peace.
Also, I read that the police didn't charge anyone for racial abuse last night. If it did occur, the fans that did it should obviously be banned. The real thrust of the matter seems to be the Daily Mirror journalist in question, maybe you should read up on it a little.
I think that a lot of neutral fans have just been surprised and concerned by recent events concerning Liverpool. There's nothing that you can do to stop a couple of idiots hurling racist abuse. I'm sure that the club will do it's best to identify them and ban them. It's hard to separate that from the whole Suarez affair though, as the reaction from the club and some fans has been poor, to a lot of people.
The police didn't charge any Chelsea fans for their abusive chanting against Genk, so the lack of arrests doesn't mean it didn't happen.
