  1. You stated that German football fans act differently to english fans under the influence of alcohol, that could be construed as racist by some people!!

     

    The fact that you lived in Germany for 10 years does not make you qualified to judge unless you undertook a study concerning the behaviour of the two countries involved during that time. Did you??

     

    AND you have used the word racist on at LEAST two occasions recently, the one you refer to above where you actually said that the level of racism tolerated on the Toffetalk website was intolerable (i.e. not mentioning the specific incident therefore implying that you had seen further evidence of racism). You also aimed the racisim tag at Reg when he referred to 'Prince of egypt' as 'habib' (friend?).

     

    Just admit it, you only come here for one reason and that is to wind up blues and try to get us arguing against each other. as I've said before, why don't you go and stir up poo in a redshite room where you belong you sad little girl!

    That could be construed as absolute stupidity...................by some people of course.

     

    I have no desire to turn anybody against each other. I didn`t aim it at reg, I asked the prince a question which he answered. Now go play in the park.

  2. Couldn't this be construed as a racist remark using the strereotypical misconception that all English people will cause trouble under the influence of alcohol whereas people of German origin are more well behaved???

     

    You seem to be the one throwing this word (racist) around recently so though I throw it back!!

    It probably could, depending on the intelligence and motives of the construer. Where exactly did I use "all English people".

     

    I lived in Germany for 8 years and England for 10, so I´m qualified to judge. I didn`t throw the word "racist" around, I used it directly when some mug called Germans nazis.

  3. It`s a Gerrard thread, I enjoyed it and thanked him. I was responding to his initial post in which AG does a really good piece of commentary (for a change). The last time I posted a Liverpool topic (which wasn`t in any way provocative) it was deleted, hence the reference to a deletion.

     

    As for xavier and I, as far as `pool supporters go (speaking for myself)I think we to add to the forum rather than be disruptive, we could rub your noses in it in a far less respectful if we weren`t such decent chaps. Don`t always be so negative about everything.

     

    Glad you love Gerrard too! B)

  4. Bit more from the Echo:

     

    New Reds coach relishing his latest challenge

    Jul 6 2006

    By David Prentice, Liverpool Echo

     

    GARY ABLETT already holds a unique niche in the Merseyside history books - as the only footballer to have won an FA Cup winner's medal on both sides of Stanley Park.

     

    Now he has added another unusual distinction. Having moved from Liverpool to Everton as a player in the 1990s, he has just made the return journey as a coach.

     

    Ablett will kick off the 2006-07 campaign as Anfield's reserve team manager, and he hopes the switch is not accompanied by the same storm whichgreeted his decision to cross the park in January 1992.

     

    "It was a difficult time," he smiled. "There were Liverpool fans saying I shouldn't ever go to Everton, and Everton fans saying they didn't want a Liverpool player. Some people find it hard to believe that you have an affinity for both clubs, but I do. I honestly do.

     

    "I had an unbelievable upbringing and education at Liverpool where I played with some of the greatest players this country has ever seen, then I went to Everton, had a fantastic four and a half years and managed to win stuff there.

     

    "I have tremendous satisfaction and pride from the fact that I'm still the only person to win FA Cup winners medals with both clubs and I find that an unbelievable honour. I then became a coach at Everton for three or four years and now it has turned full circle.

     

    "When I got the job at Everton I always told Ray Hall and Neil Dewsnip I wanted to use it as a stepping stone to see how far I could go, because I was really ambitious. I wanted to test myself and see if I could work at the highest level ...little did I know I would use Everton as a stepping stone to get back to Liverpool!

     

    "But I have met some fantastic people at both clubs and I take a lot of satisfaction at calling those people friends. I know that will continue."

     

    Scouser Ablett is a very highly regarded coach.

     

    He already possesses the distinguished UEFA 'A' licence, and was held back from taking the Pro Licence only by FA bureaucracy.

     

    "I tried to get on the pro licence in the summer but couldn't, because the powers that be at the FA said I wasn't working with senior players - which I found pathetic to be honest," he added. "I am now working with boys one or two years older than I was with last year, yet I can take it now because they are classed as seniors.

     

    "Whether the manager sees the pro licence as a vital part of my education is something we will have to discuss in the future."

     

    A coach at Everton's youth academy, it was the opportunity to work with senior players which prompted Ablett to cross the park.

     

    "I don't know if there was ever a job for me at Everton on the senior side . . . we never got as far as that," he added. "I'm ambitious and I see this as another step on the coaching ladder - and you can't fail to come to a place like this and learn from the staff here.

     

    "I haven't got a bad word to say about Everton. They gave me the chance to get where I am now - I had four fantastic years working with fantastic people - and I'm sure I'll be working with fantastic people here.

     

    "My job is to manage the reserve team, to liaise with the manager and Pako Ayesteran and to plan the season technically, tactically and physically.

     

    "I have been given the chance to work in a fantastic job, with great people and with outstanding young footballers - and my job is to develop them to hopefully be-come first team players here.

     

    "At Everton, I had under-14s like James Vaughan and Victor Anichebe who we could mould, whereas now they are already coming to me from the Academy so it will be more challenging and something I am looking forward to."

     

    And Ablett already has his eyes focused on a fixture very early in the reserve team calendar.

     

    "Would you believe the mini derby is the second match of the season?" he said. "I can't wait. Bring it on."

  5. Reading the thread on Rooney a little while ago, brought me to the realisation that DM is a canny Scot!

    He kept Rooney on the bench while he was in the England squad & resisted as long as he could, the clamour to get him on the field to bolster what was at the time a saggy team.

    Why?

    I reckon he knew that we couldn't hang on to Rooney who was aching to get somewhere where could show his talents off. DM also knew that the longer he played Rooney, the more Rooney would get booked / sent off & that if potential buyers saw what DM had seen in training (disruptive influence) his transfer value would reduce quickly & that he could be a liability.

    So......... keep him off the field & keep his value to the club high!

    What do others think?

    Moyes      SMART or LUCKY?

    Lucky. His transfer dealings would indicate that he`s not that astute.

  6. what i want to hear is

     

    cahill: AJ is superb. ive seen him in small 9 a side games and hes ace. ive never seen any striker like AJ etc etc etc etc

     

    what i want to hear is praise from other players

    35784[/snapback]

     

     

    Cahill must have been referring to his appearance: i´ve never seen any striker like AJ! :unsure:

  7. can i please ask what is wrong with the germans. i cant see it. ive met many germans on regular trips with my dad. i havent encountered anything wrong with them.

    35693[/snapback]

     

    Nothing, it`s just mild racism. Somebody told him that all Germans are rude or whatever and he believes it.......................probably never met a German in his life!

  8. Believe me when I say this, what you may call "blatant racism" is a cultural and historical clash, at no point were the Germans or the Argentinians spoken of in derogatory terms.

     

    Don't mistake jingoism for racism, racist content is unacceptable on this forum.

    Calling Germans nazis is racist. Jingoism is believing that your own country is always best. Jingoism has nothing to do with using racist terms for other nationalities. Germans do consider being called nazis as derogatory.
