Title: Mark Halsey Post by: fittons_coaching_badge on Monday, September 24, 2012, 09:33:50 I read the Scousers have been giving all sorts of abuse via Twitter. He overcame cancer to re-take up refereeing. He is probably wondering why he bothered this morning.
Some humans really are worthless pieces of shit! Of course I would like to add there is the very real possibility, that none of this was the fault of Liverpool fans or any associated with LFC. It could well have been the suns fault! Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Chubbs on Monday, September 24, 2012, 09:44:59 I read the Scousers have been giving all sorts of abuse via Twitter.

Of course I would like to add there is the very real possibility, that none of this was the fault of Liverpool fans or any associated with LFC. It could well have been the suns fault! There was a tweet circulating from a pool fan, wishing death on him and his family, also chants of "you're not fit to referee" were heared around the ground. Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: DMR on Monday, September 24, 2012, 09:46:05 also chants of "you're not fit to referee" were heared around the ground. It's an outrage Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Saxondale on Monday, September 24, 2012, 09:47:44 Certainly not something that us lot would ever shout at a ref. Well, not every game. Well, not every single minute of every game.

Title: Re: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: AldbourneRed on Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:05:38 Any referee, no matter how good he is, knows he will take a lot of shit throughout his career, some deserved, some not.
This guy beat cancer and went back to doing what he wanted to do. Good for him. I'm pretty sure some vile cunts on twitter and a few terrace songs won't bother him in the slightest. Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:22:39 I thought Shelvey's red was harsh, but other than that, he had a decent game
Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:22:43 It is entirely appropriate to verbally abuse the referee, opposition & Oxford United FC at every single game of football.
However, once you leave the ground you need to leave all of that behind. However, Im not do sure how that works for people who tweet abuse during the game. Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: 4D on Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:26:45 I think some of these "fans" need to get a grip. :-[
Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Arriba on Monday, September 24, 2012, 10:28:09 Don't think the chants had anything to do with his cancer history.
Title: Re: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: herthab on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:17:34 So a handful of pricks are posting vile shit on twitter? What's that got to do with them being Liverpool fans? Every club in the country has it's own share of mindless cunts.
This anti Liverpool thing that some people have got is really fucking boring.... Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Batch on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:20:11 Yeah, everyone should calm down...
Title: Re: Re: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: herthab on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:22:32 Yeah, every should calm down... Nice. I like what you did there.Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Flashheart on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:23:26 Title: Re: Re: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: fittons_coaching_badge on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:23:40 Nice. I like what you did there. Urgh ... What did he do? Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Batch on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:26:52 Nice. I like what you did there. Miss half a word out? I blame Batch Jr Jr who was crying with earache from 12:01am *-4:45am, then we were up at 6:30. * don't want to get into a debate whether 12 midnight is correct (it is) or 12am is valid (it isn't).

I have to set alarms using the 24 hour system because my mind has not been able to register whether 12am is midnight or midday. I'm pleased that I can boast a variety of academic abilities, yet setting an alarm just seems to have escaped me for some reason.

Title: Re: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: herthab on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:57:25 I was referring to the old "calm down " scouser sketches.
Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Batch on Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:59:59 Yes that was the intention. I was self mocking my bad typing.
Anyway, are you tellin' me to calm down. Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, September 24, 2012, 12:11:06 I was referring to the old "calm down " scouser sketches. You could do with one of those perm wigs. Title: Re: Re: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: herthab on Monday, September 24, 2012, 12:52:34 Yes that was the intention. I was self mocking my bad typing.

I've got one.Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Batch on Monday, September 24, 2012, 12:57:53 What if I am? Eh? Eh?! I'd like to apologies to any scousers offended by this stereotype. We know you don't talk like that. (Dey do dough, don't dey dough) Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, September 24, 2012, 18:57:08 Miss half a word out?

That's because there it's neither AM or PM, it's noon or midnight. End of. Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Coca Fola on Monday, September 24, 2012, 19:00:27 Always easier to stick to 00.00 and 12.00.
Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: ghanimah on Monday, September 24, 2012, 19:01:24 That's because there it's neither AM or PM, it's noon or midnight. End of. a.m. and p.m. should be lower case unless you're American... Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: Shaw Rosso on Monday, September 24, 2012, 20:11:42 Look what this forum is turning in to without us taking on child killers, removing captains, subbing goalkeepers and ranting to the press, it feels like mid June on here.
Does anyone really believe those Scousers took the time to find out that Halsey had throat cancer on a day they were supposedly remembering the 96 so they could chant that at him? If so, a career as a tabloid hack awaits you. The tweet thing is just one idiot out of a club that gets over 40'000 for a home game, the law are on to him now Halsey has made a complaint and he will be undoubtedly get his asbo and move on to the next person that he doesn't agree with.

There is no debate. You are right. 12am and 12pm cannot possibly exist. Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: janaage on Monday, September 24, 2012, 21:57:29 Now I can't stand scousers, well the red half of merseyside anyway, but this whole furore hasn't been based on a 'you're not fit to referee' chant is it? If so that's crazy. The bloke made two very borderline decisions against the home side and home side supporters chant the above, the standard chant in such circumstances. The fact the bloke has fought cancer surely has nothing to do with that.
The twitter twat, well, every club has one (or two).

If so that's crazy. No the chant wasn't the cause, some might say ignore idiots on Twitter but it must be horrible having been through what he has to get that kind of tweet. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/24/halsey-complaint-police-abuse-twitter Quote The referee Mark Halsey has complained to Greater Manchester Police about the vile tweets directed towards him and his wife following Liverpool's defeat by Manchester United on Sunday. Halsey's fight against throat cancer in 2009 was referenced on Twitter after United's 2-1 win at Anfield, where the 51-year-old dismissed Liverpool's midfielder Jonjo Shelvey for a dangerous challenge on Jonny Evans and awarded the late penalty that enabled Robin van Persie to seal the victory. Halsey's wife, who has also been fighting cancer, was even mentioned in some tweets. "I can confirm that my family have made a complaint to the police," Halsey told the BBC. "I will be speaking to the police on Wednesday after I have returned from refereeing Southampton v Sheffield Wednesday." One of the abusive messages came from an account named @johnwareing1 and read: "I hope Mark Halsey gets cancer again and dies". Another, from @lfcjohn259, said: "Mark Halsey shouldve died of cancer", before being deleted. Both accounts have since been removed Title: Re: Mark Halsey Post by: janaage on Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 10:22:52 Please don't think I'm defender the twatterers, I'm not, charges should be brought against these people who make offensive tweets. But like I say that shouldn't be any reflection on Liverpool as it's likely these knobjockeys who post stuff like that have either never been to anfield, or if they have are part of the daytripping society.

Yes I agree, tarring people with the same brush is bad enough when it happen in a ground, but no you can not say faceless twietterers should be linked to LFC. |
