That's what makes it worse, it was probably directed at Ba for scoring the goal and that was the most offensive gesture he could think of making despite it not being applicable to anyone on the pitch...
What an idiot he was, there were literally no players of those specific ethnicities on the pitch! The IQ is appallingly low in this country :lol:

The offensiveness of a racist gesture can't be mitigated on some sort of 'ethnically appropriate' and/or contextual basis. Racist gestures are offensive absolutely, not relatively; pulling the face that that bloke pulls would be offensive even done in an empty stadium. I know you're only having a laugh, but some could apply a nasty twist to what you're saying or implying.

You're right, it's not acceptable whether the correct ethnicity is on the pitch or not. Just pointing out how dumb these scousers are! But your point stands, no qualms about that.

I think it was more he was saying that the guy was stupid for mocking a race that wasn't on the pitch rather than saying it was better that he mocked a race that wasn't on the pitch

Develop 'stupid', then - would you consider him less stupid for mocking someone on the pitch who had the ethnic background he was apparently mocking? That sort of 'fine tuning' gets swallowed up by the bigger and more damning stupidity of choosing to make any gesture in the first place. It's making a pointless distinction.

Oh, no - I meant "stupid" as in "0% in an exam" stupid, not "morally reprehensible and socially backwards" stupid.

What he's doing is disgusting, it's just hilarious how unintelligently he's going about it (not that it would be intelligent to identify an Asian like that)

He's stupid full stop. Not really trying to make a distinction, just the fact that he's mocking Demba Ba with an oriental racist gesture makes him look more foolish than he already is. No excuse either way, nor am I justifying it!

They say you see something new every time.... and you do.

That guy back right (grey hoodie inside a black coat). Does he move.... at all??

And why is some farmer walking through the crowd "scuse me... scuse me... sorry for your loss, scuse me..."
:lol: We need a lip reader to translate what Bigfoot is saying

This guy on Sunday Supplement has to be a dipper

state of this

I don't know where to begin with that. fecking hell. First off saying he doesn't want to criticise Adrian too much while twice calling him garbarge, way to go there lad. Then his claims about Klopp walking away if he had to play football like "that" while conveniently ignoring Klopp's claims that he would walk away if he had to spend huge money to compete before twice breaking world transfer records and the fact he's played defensive football before.

Goes to show you what a self entitled bunch they are, the world is unstable at the moment and all they're worried about is the bloody league title. They can go feck themselves they don't deserve it.

Anything anti-Dipper
From RAWK

Dipper 1

i don't mind if they void this season

provided they start us off on a 25 pt lead next season

Dipper 2

Nah...

25 points with 2 matches to go vs 25 points with 38 matches to go?

Only two options- complete this season or declare us winners then sort out the other positions

Yep Dipper, only two options. First puts the health of players and staff at risk and the second screws everyone over but the Dippers. Fairest and most reasonable solutions out there.

Was that paranoia brought on by seeing you and others travel internationally?
I was referring to my fellow travelers. I saw people not use the restroom even once during a 15 hour flight. Others did not open their masks at all - even to eat food. Me and my wife were constantly emptying bottles of hand-sanitizer before touching anything. Airline crew had masks on at all times and it felt like we are inside the Resident Evil game world. Everybody had a grim face as they weren't sure if they would be allowed in. A few people were turned back from the airport because travel restrictions were put in place on their route while they were in transit to the airport.

At O'Hare I have heard about massive queues for virus testing where travelers from Europe had to wait for 6-hours straight though I got saved from that ordeal as I did my US pre-clearance at Abu Dhabi and landed as a domestic traveler.

As the Caf's resident gullible lunatic supernatural expert, I'd like to point out the presence of an orb in the photo above.
I think no right-minded scientist could possibly deny that this is the ghost of Liverpool's title hopes.
