What an over-reactive World we now live in!
In the eyes of very passionate Scousers.....
Son, first of all, took a dive in the box to try to acquire a penalty.
Minutes later he fouled Gomez and (as I posted earlier) I don't think it was a bad challenge.
The result of Gomez' fall was that he got a horrific, career-threatening ankle injury (which brought Son to tears).
Most - nearly all - opposing fans, in the heat of the passion, would have run onto the pitch (if they could) and took a swipe at Son because passion would have got the better of them, and the foul was so swift that it might have looked like a filthy lunge from most parts of the Ground. I'm realistic to remember that I'd have screamed and called any opposing player the worst kind of insult I could get my tongue round. If he was black or yellow I'd have shouted that; if he'd got a big nose, or a beard, or ginger hair or bald, fat or skinny, if he was Welsh, Spanish, Irish, etc etc I'd have prefixed the word c**t with any of those descriptions. But one passionate Scouser (who takes no offence at that name) probably called Son a Ch*nk or something - (I haven't heard what).
On cue, out come the media, all calling for the bloke to be "...banned from the Ground, or worse." Bollocks! It was just a reaction from some passionate Everton fan, appalled at the horror at what he thought he saw from his seat. Son, with utter dignity (because he's a sporting bloke and a great footballer, far more distressed at what he'd done over the past few minutes) couldn't give a fig what "names" he'd been called. Seriously, name-calling is hardly anything to get so excited about.
(If anyone dare think that I'm racist because of what I've said they can kiss my arse. I've got/had loads of black/brown/yellow friends over the years, and treat ALL people with respect and friendship. The people I despise are the white - and black - Snowflakes, who like to think of themselves as 'caring',because it suits their image.)
