I’m glad they have used words like “allegedly” and “appeared to”
Quite right but the headlines everywhere slam the club ... it's like you speeding in your Ford, would the papers all scream "Ford's Day of Shame" ... and you might kill someone, some complete wanker who thinks he's a monkey will only get himself killed ... in fact if he did blatantly do the monkey dance I'm saddened he didn't get smacked, that's what normally happens at the Lane.
Rudiger tweeted: 'Biiiiiiig Wiiin! #NoToRacism #PleaseGetSomeBasicEducation #AlwaysBelieve #Hustle #cleansheet'.
That cunt has been on ignore forever - guys just weird in the head - now if he turned out to be monkey boy that wouldn't surprise me at all ...Unless you’re mummy of course. He did think about telling someone though..
Hasn't a Chelsea player made an accusation of racism before that involved a ref after getting the wrong end of the stick?
I believe sky were also all over that put forward the worst before the facts were established
Spurs fans aren’t racist. Chelsea fans aren’t racist. Man Utd fans aren’t racist. Etc etc
Didn’t this bloke get cleared in the end? Not 100% sure so I won’t stick up for him too much but I thought they got a team of professional lip readers in and it turned out he was telling the truth. If true, another case of trial by social media before the facts are gathered, geezer lost his job and everythingChelsea fan at centre of Raheem Sterling race storm breaks silence to apologise
Colin Wing, 60, said he was ashamed of his behaviour and had lost his job and his season ticket - but insisted he called Sterling a "MANC c**t", not "black c**t"www.mirror.co.uk
And this coming from an American. :mourfacepalm:Soccer in the UK and Europe has a huge issue with racism, so it's irrelevant for any club to claim they are "more racist" than the other. As a non-European, who has been immersed in the European cultures, it seems very cringe when a certain team always pointing fingers at the other team's fans or being "racist". It's a well documented fact that soccer is followed by people from lower socio-economic backgrounds in the UK, so these things such as racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc are part and parcel of the sport.
As for the events today, I hope the fans get punished.
