Mo Salah

Four reasons why he became popular. One is that his performances as a winger last season were absolutely phenomenal, and it is rarer for wingers to achieve those figures than pure strikers. Second reason is that Liverpool are hyped by the media and Salah being their player obviously got double the attention. Third, as the only world class Egyptian player, he attained god like status in his own country. Fourth, as he is a muslim who has attained sky high popularity for the above 3 reasons, he is being held by a lot of muslims the world over irrespective of club and country loyalties as some sort of role model, a moderate muslim who can counter their perceptions of Islamophobia.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks.
 
Strange one that. Cant stand it, we have these thing glued to us 24/7 and still cant leave it alone for the time it takes us to drive to and from work .

Definite pet hate of mine, seeing drivers on their phone. To the point where I don't even mind people talking on their phone as much as I do looking at the screen. The latter seems much more dangerous to me.

I saw a guy the other day driving whilst putting on his seatbelt with one hand and looking at his phone with the other, and then he swapped the seat belt buckle with the phone from one hand to the other as he clipped it in. No hands on the wheel. No eyes on the road. Madness.

Sod points. It should be an instant ban.
 
But but he's such a nice guy... Should be banned from driving, no reason to be on the phone whilst driving.
 
I think he should have his visa revoked. We didn't vote for Brexit to have foreigners coming over here and committing crime right, left and centre.
 
Mo Salah, Salah
caught texting inside his car
We blame it on Ramos, La
Mo Salah, Salah
 
It’s a sad state of affairs when a guy like Salah gets more shit for driving while on his phone (which is a dick move), than he does for advertising a gay-slaughtering fascist.

It's been reported that he wasn't happy that the Egyptian FA were using him for that.
 
Don't really care about this in isolation as long as it's dealt with the same as it would be anyone else. Hardly the worst thing a footballer has done away froom the pitch.

The cringey, obviously staged pitch invasion where the child ran up to cuddle him was embarassing though. Everyone just ignored it, including the commentators, and he looked dissinterested. They're bizarrely obsessed with making him out to be some kind of superhero. He's a human being and not everyone supports Liverpool, so it's only going to end badly...Or with repeated stupid incidents, such as having to report him to the police yourselves in some weird attempt to maintain his moral image.


Staged ?
 
He's driving the car that happens to have stopped. As opposed to not driving the car which is when the engine isn't running.

The Law can't be expected to differentiate much more than that can it?

But obviously less serious than if it's moving at 70mph.

Plenty of people should be telling him LFC have grassed him up by now though, which could be unsettling, :D.

He should go on strike & then force a transfer if you ask me.

His lack of happiness is astonishing. His reported lack of happiness has done so much for the Russian LGBTQ-community. All hail Salah, who had the courage to be reportedly unhappy, while publicly endorsing a guy who lets his people hunt, torture and kill gay people.

Man I don't like him either but it's a bit harsh on Klopp.

Of all the people to blame for the LGBTQ-issues in Russia, you're really targetting Salah who posed with someone he had almost certainly no clue about? Great. Are you also #1 to publicly attack Özil?

He is actively endorsing one of the men who carry the most guilt for those abhorrent crimes. He took time out of his day to make sure, that Kadyrow could use his image to gain followers, respect, and fame thorughout the world, thus gaining strength and power to further advance his terrible agenda.
It doesn’t matter if he knew him before. He knew him afterwards. He didn’t do anything to seriously distance himself from him. Nothing.
He even gladly became an honorary citizen of Czechnya.
Since that very moment, Salah became part of this. He deserves his share of the blame. As long as he doesn’t distance himself from those policies in a believable manner, he has blood on his hands. It’s that simple.

Don't agree but okay then, I'm sure you're more invested than it than I am.
 
Of course I am. I happen to be one of those people whose killing Salah is endorsing.
I know, that's why I said you are probably more invested in it.

He got played like any other dumb unknowing footballer would've been. At no point was he wittingly, actively endorsing anything. If anyone is to blame in that whole saga it's the Egyptian FA. The only thing I'm willing to concede is that he should've distanced himself from the whole thing once it became clear what he had done. That's all I'll say on the matter. FWIW I think it's a truly horrible thing going on there and I wouldn't ever consider visiting that country as long as shit like that continues to happen there.
 
So the club reported him to the police? :lol:

Anyhow, fine him (or whatever the punishment is) and be done with it. Dont get the big deal here, even though it's a shitty thing to do, it's not that we all did not do it before

And as long as he is not doing that, I have to assume that he believes in those policies. As simple as that.
 
Not the worst crime but still astonishingly stupid for someone in his position.

Get of your high horse. Blame people for their actions. Not their association to people who are evil. I am willing to bet my life if I knew enough about you there is some dirt you are associated, linked to or benefiting from

Weird if you really believe that, as I'm sure that's not the case. Have you publicly, or even in person, apologised for all the things you regretted afterwards?

The things I do or regret usually don’t lead to the ongoing systematic killing of people of a certain ethnicity, sexuality or religion. But if they did, I assure I would apologize.
 
If the headline "Talk Like An Egyptian" doesn't get used by one of the British red-tops I'm gonna be very disappointed in the state of our nation's pun headline writing.

On a serious note, driving while looking at phone screen should be instant ban.

Not once.

What a ridiculous thing to say about a complete stranger. One has every right to be offended by Salah's complete inaction on that issue. While I doubt whether he was 100% complicit in his endorsement or association with this person, if it were me who had been caught associating with him, I certainly would have made my feelings clear afterwards.
 
Is the car actually moving ?
This point has been made by lots of members on here and it's completely irrelevant. Anyone who has looked into the driver's seat of a car on the roads these days will have seen hundreds of examples of people concentrating more on their bloody phones than on what's happening with the vehicle they are supposed to be in control of.

It's a massive issue at the moment, which is why Salah's actions - which seem so normal to many, as they've not thought twice about doing the same themselves - are causing such a debate.

Obviously, on a comparable list of crimes, and being so common, it seems like an over reaction, but hopefully it will spread the message that it needs to stop.
