…which was full of emotion before, during and after due to the Jota tributes and a brilliant atmosphere is overshadowed by another racism incident.
Shouldn’t still be happening.

Without wanting to be overly negative, I don't see how you stop it. You can't prevent someone saying or shouting something, you can eject them but it's too late by then.
You'll always have racists and you'll always have football. They will inevitably cross over. It's why I struggle a bit when it's described as a problem in football, it's not, it's a problem generally. |  |

Indeed and society is currently in the gutter. | | | |

You work towards a society and culture where nobody thinks it, let alone thinks it's a perfectly fine thing to do in such a situation.
Sadly, few of our politicians want to create that society. |  | | |

I was annoyed that Carragher gave Ekitike man of the match.
How do you not give it to the man who got racially abused, and then went on to score two goals bringing his side right back into it?! |  |

It starts with education and a much bigger focus on mental health. Racists and bigots in general have a perfect combination of arrogance and ignorance, deep insecurity and a fear of things they can't control. They're like yappy dogs who launch into random frenzies. It's probably too late to reprogramme their brains (although it's possible), but other, younger, people can be prevented from going down the same path. |  |

Sympathy votes wouldn’t be welcome either. That’s why. It should be about the game on the pitch solely. | |

Because it’s Liverpool…
Very rarely do they consider there’s life outside of their four walls |  |

It's not about sympathy votes. Semenyo scored twice after being abused, the second an absolute banging solo effort. Superb skill and character. |  | | |

When you’ve got knuckleheads booing players taking a stand against racism and also taking to forums trying to justify their bigotry and idiocy I fear it’s a lost cause. A lot of the pushback should be able to come from within the game and through peer pressure. |  |

Why mention the abuse though? Nothing to do with the quality on the pitch regarding the MOTM decision. If he deserves the gong because of his performance then fair enough but don’t try and weight the decision with unnecessary reasoning. Let the football do the talking. | |

The only way you stop it would involve punishing yourself innocent people. Points deductions, ground closures…even then I’m not sure that would stop a Neanderthal | |

While we continue to boo players who take the knee I can't see anything will change.
There is certainly a debate to be had around the effectiveness of taking the knee.
Does it throw a spotlight on racism? Yes. But unfortunately not in the way it was originally conceived.
Rather than being applauded from the stands, we now hear a increasing chorus of boos. Yep. That's the spotlight on racism right there, loud and clear.
My heart sinks when it is roundly booed at Portman Road.
What does that say about us as a fan group, when we boo our players, many of whom are black, for a show of solidarity against racism in our game?
Sad really. |  |

Ok, if he scored 2 goals, the second a banging solo effort, after earlier suffering concussion on the pitch, would you feel any differently? | | | |
