Wow. So you accept derogatory racist remarks too.

If you are referring to negrito. It's on. A racist or derogatory word. I could give a fúck less bout Suárez or Liverpool. But there is so much crap associated with that word since the incident that I'm beginning to think my family were racist for calling me it as a child.

You can always rely on Mail articles on racism.

Chelsea have handled the PR far better than liverpool it has to be said.

Yeah, Terry must be thanking his lucky stars that Suarez had his conviction first and Liverpool handled it in such a pathetic and embarrassing way. All he has to do is keep his head down and stay quiet.

RAWK posters aren't Liverpool fans, they're mental cases with internet access.

Good article on the responses from Chelsea and Liverpool this week, from Des Kelly.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2078245/Des-Kelly-When-comes-crass-protest-Kennys--got-T-shirt.html

If you think that is a good article, then fair enough. Des Kelly says, and i quote, (actually before i do go on, the embodiment of this riposte to Kelly will be shamelessly used by me below and is credited to Jim Boardman on twitter.)

"Ignorance is not a defence".

And here is a further quote from him outside of that article.

“Isn’t it time to move on from this pointless indignation about the word ‘pikey’? Preferably without leaving behind an empty Calor gas cylinder and a pile of litter in some field. There are people out there who actually believe this was somehow ‘racist’. The word [pikey] has nothing to do with race. Obviously it is derogatory, but it refers to the traveller community. This is not some genetic or ethnic grouping"

Ok, fair enough Des, lets spend, say, 30 seconds firing this into google search engine.

“Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers are legally recognised as ethnic groups, and protected from discrimination by the Race Relations Act (1976, amended 2000) and the Human Rights Act (1998)."

There you go SoulTrader, this is the article written by a man who says "Ignorance is not a justifiable defence". If you think this tripe is a "good article", i suggest you change the publications you read.

Give it to the ****ers daithijjj

Anybody who says a garbage article which happens to support their side of the argument is well written is trolling.

Yes you are missing something here, it's called context. I hope for your sake you are only pretending to not understand it.

Jim Boardman forms the basis of your response? A man who writes for a Liverpool website? Well done on the impartiality there. You can criticize Des Kelly and the Mail all you like, I am no fan of either. I posted the article there for all to read who are interested; it is only one article but the vast majority of independent media have condemned Liverpool's response to the FA's verdict.

And ignorance isn't a justifiable defence - you're quick to point that out when discrediting a journalist, but hasn't that formed the basis of Suarez's defence? Why aren't you screaming "Ignorance isn't a defence" in relation to Suarez?

It means that as they write for The Mail they've an ultra conservative right-wing agenda and they don't let simple facts (or fachts for those who are easily amused) get in the way of a inflammatory story.

It's pretty much accepted that any of the Mail publications aren't considered in high regard by anyone with any semblance of intelligence.
