Reporter: "Kenny, the wider world is pretty shocked that, if a player can call someone afecking black bastard and the player who is the victim in this takes offence, that there is no apology or contrition offered from your club."
Dalglish: "I would have thought that, if you pronounced the word properly, you maybe understand it better. I think it was Scouse he was speaking and I don't think you were speaking Scouse there."
Reporter: "OK, if a fan calls someone 'a fecking black bastard' [Scouse pronunciation], surely the player who takes offence deserves an apology?"
Dalglish: "Ask a linguistic expert, which certainly I am not. They will tell you that in Liverpool, it is perfectly acceptable. His wife calls him that and I don't think he is offended by her. We have made a statement and I think it is there for everybody to read. The fan has made a brilliant statement and we will stand by him."
