Yeah, I've only just read the social media account of it. I watched the game in a pub (thankfully, as I have Virgin at home) so I wondered what it was all about. I got home half cut and watched the highlights on Sky and could not understand why they focused 100% on that and nothing at all on the blatant handball and sending-off in the first half. I was seething and made comparisons with that Oldham player back in the day who claimed he'd been called a black bastard when, provably, he'd been called a Manc bastard, but it was in the aftermath of the Suarez witch trial, so we were guily as charged on everything in those days (Oliver Holt insisted he'd heard the word 'black', even though he was in an hotel room in Dubai at the time. But the accounts today on social media from other wheelchair users around him are pretty damning, and he apparently kicks off regularly (though this is the first time he's gone racist).
I have no idea why any fan, especially a disabled fan who must have experienced prejudice himself, would support a team three-quarters full of black and Asian players if they themselves are racist, but to have a privileged spec in the ground and do that is scandalous. Apparently, the police had to escort him out of the ground because he wouldn't let the stewards remove him.
I used to work on trains for a while, and I used to do staff training on disability awareness. Believe me when I say disabled people are a complete reflection on the whole of society - most are brilliant, but some are absolute ****s, don't fool yourself otherwise. Credit to Semanyu for not tipping the prick out of his chair when he got him to repeat it. I hope the ****er was arrested by the police and breathalysed as well. Banned for life, I hope, and not just from Anfield, but only after a complete investigation has been undertaken,
