Dear me, if you think I am out order you are free to report the relevant post to admin.You overstepped the mark at least once, and for what? I was holding a differing opinion, but the sly Racist analogy and implication is duly noted.
The "sly racist analogy" is nothing of the sort it was simply an example of the use of language to excuse an attitude/bias. If you need to preface a statement with something along the lines of "I'm not racist/ misogynist/ homophobic/ transphobic/ scousephobic, BUT..." You are trying to excuse the following phrase/sentence because you know that it sounds exactly that. There was no implication that you are "racist" or any other sort of "...ist" it is simply an example to demonstrate the weakness of your argument.
An argument which others have tried to explain to is plainly apportioning blame to Liverpool fans and excusing the behaviour of ManUtd fans because the Liverpool fans "started it". It is a vapid schoolboy excuse.
The only things that the Utd fans must do is stop the "Hillsborough" stuff. They should not wait for an apology from LFC or their supporters (which as others have pointed out has already been given). Additionally of course the Liverpool fans must stop the "Munich" songs and of course they should not need to wait for the ManUtd fans to stop singing about Hillsborough.
