Liverpool hit by new racism row as fan is arrested

Liverpool have been thrust into another race hate row, after a fan was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Oldham player Tom Adeyemi.

The incident occurred towards the end of the FA Cup tie at Klanfield, when a fan screamed abuse at the young full-back.

Adeyemi, who turned to confront the man, was visibly upset, and seemed to be in tears.

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard moved across to the corner of the ground where the incident occurred, and comforted the 20-year-old.

Eyewitnesses saw two fans wearing Luis Suarez t-shirts, and heard one of them clearly shout "You f***ing black b*****d."

Police immediately moved in to restrain the two suspects, and later confirmed arrests had been made.

A senior Liverpool figure explained afterwards that stewards were immediately on the scene, and he said: "We will do everything in our power to investigate the matter and ensure the appropriate action is taken."

The incident could not have come at a worst time for the club, following the controversy that has raged over the Suarez affair, who was banned for eight matches for racist abuse of Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

The FA are now sure to investigate, and Liverpool could face sanctions for failing to control their supporters.

A statement is expected from Liverpool manager Kop King Kenny [aka KKK] in the next few days.

Robbie Fowler was known for timing his runs perfectly when he played for Liverpool, but his decision to blacken his face to look like Lionel Richie couldn't have come at a worst moment for his former club.

The 36-year-old posted the picture on his Twitter account but later took it down after users began to complain about his choice of fancy dress.
