salah is just out in front in what will become an all out boycott of israel. loads of top guys refused to play south africa during apartheid. already a huge academic boycott of israel, economic and sporting to follow Ha a ha ha exactly as you said 5 years ago Up the revolution power to the people ! took decades for apartheid to come down..people are just unaware of the extent of the humiliating conditions israel and the U.S are subjecting the people of gaza to in particular . but like the civil rights movements in the USA,Ireland and S.A these things start at an academic level, and the academic boycott is really taking off now. the rest will follow. EMP if I am wrong please correct me pronto, but I am presuming you are a Brit like myself, and we are hardly in any position to be condemning others with our own history with a certain island not too far from our shores are we? Wonder what your average Scouser would be saying right now if they were being subjected to weekly rockets from Dublin and prior to a blockade of the Irish at our border points babies, women and children being blown up on buses in the centre of a Liverpool high street which was a regular occurrence only a decade or so ago? 'Humiliating conditions' would be like ice-cream and strawberries if we were involved and it was our country. In regard Salah, he is mere 21, Egypt has a peace treaty with Israel and bar the recent emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood there has shown neighbours can get along amicably despite thousands of years of hatred by and large. That is the way forward for the region. It's a pity he can't see- that being professional on the field and setting a better example where footballers of all nationalities try and rise above complex regional political situations is a better way to act than the course he may have taken.

But such situations don't even compare anyway as u presume,wrongly, that israel are defending themselves in some way when in fact they are the aggressors and have killed many more thousands of people. if u read their history they have openly embraced a constant war-footing as a means of expanding their country. they have no interest in peace talks cause they lose in peace talks.so they attack all the time and the U.S is only too willing to unload its military industry in the slaughter ..this is how the world works and its a scandal..hopefully the boycotts and such will finally have an effect in the US and they will,cause they can,in an instant resolve this situation. all obama crapface has to say is two words, "no more", and all is fine.

Lots of truth in that post and most people in the West don't know or don't care to know.

The point I am making EMP is that is easy to criticize from a far and conveniently ignore previous heinous terrorist acts to support what you said. The example I gave (and badly) was that it if Liverpool was the City that was bearing most of the rockets and bus bombs from Ireland on a daily to weekly basis I wonder what your view would then be?
Our government would act in a way that made Israel's incursions into Gaza look like a picnic made with the full support of most of the nation no doubt.

The manager wanted Salah, he wanted to come, I remember Dempsey being the same, regardless what you think of the players ability, the manager wanted him and yet again he has been let down by those who pledged to support him.
If FSG don't do something soon I think things could turn sour for them, watch for news regarding the stadium or more sponsors to try and deflect from their short comings.

Look, had he signed I wouldn't be happy with the acquisition but I'd support him as he would be a Liverpool player and hopefully he'd prove me wrong. I just hope we get better quality than him. Quite right, however I didn't read any "refused to shake hands" comments before Chelsea came into the picture? that's all im saying! If we had signed Salah, I'd have the exact same reservations as I have about him now; and that is, I don't think he's particularly good. As for his choice to "fist bump" a couple of israelis instead of shaking their hand.....i really couldn't give a t0ss - to say it is trivial would be a massive understatement. Surely it's his decision as to who he shakes hands with?!

A huge anti-climax when he appeared over a few weeks ago. I thought there may have been some announcement about the stadium or a "surprise signing" unveiled, (how naieve am I)to coincide with one of his rare appearences. But nothing, unless you are fond of a half-time donut. Every time I see him in the ground I cant help thinking that he would rather be at a baseball match.

What I don't understand is why he bought us in the first place. EPL club owners don't make any money, not even the most successful ones. There can only be one explanation............he spotted a chance to get us on the cheap and planned to expand the commercialism of the club until he can sell us at a profit.
If he was in it for the long haul, he'd invest in players to make us competitive and enjoy the successes. He dabbled with that under dalglish. Once bitten.....
