March 19, 201214 yr Most football clubs are a brand these days, we make no secert about it, that was pretty much what our owners said when they came in. Liverpool is a massive brand aswell to this there is a certain degree of pride as the brand carriers power and is known to many more people than just a club. OK maybee my reaction to the poster is OTT as seen by some, but still using a MOTTO which is sacred to liverpool is not the way.. Lets hope at the end of the day he gets better.
March 19, 201214 yr Liverpool Football Club and its fans have no ethics whatsover... Using something like this to say sorry... just an excuse to brand their name about.. Do me a favour. A man is seriously ill and you are more interested in scoring points against rival teams. Unbelieveable!
March 19, 201214 yr Oh come off it. It's not an official poster and you're overreacting. I hardly think that was the intention of the makers of this poster. I guess that was the intention the creators of my sig below then. To most football fans, crests like the Liverbird, the Arsenal cannon or the Norwich canary are symbols of the teams we support. But you being a Man City fan, I guess your club's badge now represents more of a brand to support and not a symbol so maybe I can understand your misunderstanding here. :nod:
March 19, 201214 yr I've just checked the Man City site and they only seem to be interested in Nigel De Jong's penalty practice...
March 19, 201214 yr Liam Stacey admitted a racially-aggravated public order offence Fabrice Muamba: Racist Twitter comments admitted by Swansea student A student has admitted posting racially offensive comments on Twitter about footballer Fabrice Muamba. Liam Stacey, 21, appeared at Swansea magistrates' court after tweeting about the Bolton Wanderers player who collapsed during a FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The 23-year-old, who suffered a cardiac arrest, remains critically ill. Stacey, a Swansea University student from Pontypridd, admitted a racially-aggravated public order offence. He was arrested after his comments on the social networking site were reported by other users. He has been released on bail and is due to be sentenced on 27 March. Prosecutor Lisa Jones told the court: "Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch and was believed to have died." The court heard shortly afterwards Stacey posted the offensive comments.Magistrates were told police forces across Britain received complaints following the comments. Stacey tried to "distance himself" from the tweets by claiming his account had been hacked, the court was told. Magistrates heard he later tried to delete his page but he was arrested on Sunday at his student house in Swansea. When interviewed by police, Stacey said he had been drinking since lunchtime on Saturday and was drunk when he made the comments. He told police: "I was at the bar when I heard what had happened to Muamba. I don't know why I posted it. I'm not racist and some of my friends are from different cultural backgrounds." Stacey was close to tears as the evidence was given about his tweets. The court heard he later texted a friend and said: "I said something about Muamba that I shouldn't have and tweeted back to some people who abused me. Getting police on me now which isn't good at all." Stacey was told in court that he could be jailed over the comments. He has been bailed until he is sentenced and has been ordered not to use Twitter and other social networking sites. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17434587
March 19, 201214 yr Not only is that the stupidest accusation I've ever read Daryl, but its sick. I've been pretty much constantly kept myself updated on the Muamba situation and wish him all the best.
March 19, 201214 yr Latest.. He is getting better a little, can use his heart without help of machine. Look liverpool have been though the mud this season with the whole suarez affair of which they got very wrong it turned out to be. Using the Motto is not their right at the moment.. maybe just their club badge unchnged with comments to say gett better soon mate, but that is patronosing... "even though youre not one of our own " Yes Samuel hope you enjoyed our website.... pretty slick init ? ç
March 19, 201214 yr Do you ever know when to just shut up? You've already made your point, obviously people disagree, repeating the same thing over and over isn't necessary right now is it? The only change since pretty much his heart started beating without CPR/defibrillator 2 hours after he collapsed, is that now there is slight movement in his arms and legs. It really doesn't sound good for his permanent health, not a lot of progress for 48 hours, he could have serious brain damage.
March 19, 201214 yr Actually it turns out he's being able to respond to questions, which is a good sign. I can see why they're reluctant to send out too much updates at this time.

You don't have the first clue about what you are talking about :rolleyes::inquisitive:
March 19, 201214 yr Great news that he is talking and moving again. It is to football's credit and advantage that everyone (almost...) comes together every now and again to realise what really matters. It is such a shame that it takes something like this for it to happen.
March 19, 201214 yr Using the Motto is not their right at the moment.. maybe just their club badge unchnged with comments to say gett better soon mate, but that is patronosing... "even though youre not one of our own " ç It would make no difference whatsoever! They're just trying to show their support, that's all. Hope he's gonns be ok.

I'm sure the guy is a massive dick, and the comments are unexcusable, but it's also really frightening from a free speech perspective.

I'm sure the guy is a massive dick, and the comments are unexcusable, but it's also really frightening from a free speech perspective. I think it is shocking how this man can be arrested but Catholic Priests cannot be arrested for publicly condemning gay marriage in the most disgusting way! :stunned::o

March 21, 201214 yr I have a bet for a 4-2 win for city, that would require shots on target, not a single one for either side in the first half!
March 21, 201214 yr Man City 2-1 Chelsea (Nasri, 85) City doing to Chelsea what Chelsea did to City in Dec

Belief, support, something a man city. supporter wouldnt understand. You only see pound signs and childish players who are allowed to get away with murder.
