Tony Evans writing sense, great read;

Links to his article from the Times: (those who don't know Tony Evans he's more scouse than Cilla Black)

It's a solid article. I'm personally glad we're not following that path. If Terry is convicted, then he will face a similar ban, and I hope we on here have the good graces to accept what he did was wrong and the punishment deserved without silly carryon.

Never thought I would see the day, though no surprise that scousers are now turning on him for daring not to back their player 100%.

It really is a closed shop up there isn't it? If you dare stray from the partyline, they bring up all your failings and how really you aren't really worthy of the Liverpool pantheon of deities so your opinion doesn't mean sh*t.

He's getting all sorts of abuse from Scousers on Twitter.

As Spiller86 said, once you deviate from the party line they all turn on you.

An article with some good points to make. One enters indescribably dangerous territory when one begins to judge how good or bad an article or someone's opinion is by how much it approves of your own side - a lesson it seems Liverpool fans are slow to learn.

Pretty much agree with the central point. You make a reference to someone's colour, even in a 'friendly' way in a heated exchange, it's not going to be taken well.

The reaction of Liverpool FC as a whole has been shameful and it's happened at both club and supporter level. They have completely undermined many years of anti-racism work by their attitude. Can't blame them for contesting the original charge or even appealing, but they could've done the whole thing with so much more class rather than making it "us vs them" and creating all this bad feeling.

As much as I support Terry fighting his charge, I hope that we'll accept whatever verdict in a much better way that Liverpool.

Too much common sense for people to accept.

Shame.
