NorthEastVillan Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I reckon the picture is real, as in he is posing for a photo with Carroll and the woman. However, I believe the scarf is shopped in. His left hand could be holding a bottle of lager, it just looks a bit off to me. That is my view on it. The right hand side of the scarf would not hang like it is if being held up. Reckon beer in Downing's left hand and pint in Caroll's right (or a woman being held up by her neck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillz Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Has anyone considered that the photo itself may be real but the scarf has been added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Can't believe we're losing Albrighton to the bin dippers, it's so not shopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You telling me the flags in the two different photos are the same colour. One looks kind of claret (like West Ham) Second one looks red (like Liverpool) Hope I'm not colour blind :cry: You balled the link up, but I assume the first picture you attempted to show was Carroll and Downing with the Liverpool scarf? And am I right in thinking you are asking why the red of the Liverpool scarf in the photograph taken outside on a decent camera during broad daylight is a different shade to the red on the photograph taken indoors on what appears to be a shitty iPhone camera under harsh artificial lighting?

Skruff Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Might be a England flag photoshopped into a liverpook flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiganvillain Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 saw this on Twitter, answers everything "That picture is obviously a fake. Forget the extra finger. It's Andy Carroll in a bar next to a woman and she's not got blacked eyes" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm more worried you're using West Ham as an example of a team that plays in claret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Has anyone considered that the photo itself may be real but the scarf has been added. Or even, the photo's real but Downing's head has been shopped on? Easily done, with the right filters you get the lighting right as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sellbydate Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Has anyone considered that the photo itself may be real but the scarf has been added. Yep. TRS-T, depending on what camera is used, and in what lighting, colours can look totally different. especially on a phone camera which is most likely with this. check this link for a quickly found, poor example of what i mean http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nS1EOIIgZKU/TZoVHCdbSgI/AAAAAAAAAOg/OHTFtRWk9BM/s1600/ipad2_camera_test_light_house.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Has anyone considered that it's taken from an alternative universe where Downing and Carroll are working in a bar called Liverpool because nobody watches football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 How is it hanging off of Caroll?? Downing and the woman are holding the scarf. Her right hand is behind Andy Carrol's back and she is pulling it tight. Her left hand is on Downing's shoulder and she is loosely gripping it with that, but he is the one who is pulling it tight in the other direction. The only reasonable explanation that it might be a photoshop is that Downing appears to have an extra finger at first glance. That has been debunked, so what else could have been added or taken from this picture? They have added a scarf? Then what the **** would the original have looked like? The most awkward photo ever with Downing's flappy left hand? Club has confirmed its a fake? They have claimed it is a fake in an attempt to pour water on the fire. I dont believe them.

So do the two flags look different to you then as well? My colour vision is not messed up? I understand what your saying the Downing and Carroll flag looks nothing like the red of the Liverpool shirt. Looks like the claret of the West Ham shirt to me? Maybe it's my screen?

KSV Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 so the club spoke to Downing and he denied it. No shit. As if he would admit it. We suppose to believe that? Not like Stewart has ever mislead the fans with comments in the media before............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastVillan Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 So he was standing there and the scarf was added then: Villa spokesman Brian Doogan, said: “I’ve seen the picture and I spoke to him, he had heard about it, someone else had told him. “He said it was absolutely not real, he did not stand there with a Liverpool scarf.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because West Ham are the original claret & blues. lol jk Because Villa and West Ham use different shades of claret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
