Or instead, just dont throw any bananas towards black players.

There are very similar stories about black/hispanic soldiers in Vietnam.
But the Army life is not comparable with civvy life I'm afraid.
One of my best pals is an ex Royal Marine and some of the stuff his boys say to one another (and their stories) makes your skin crawl. But that's the military way.
Can't be equated to the general public.
This is my first post about the banana incident. I haven't gone back and read any of the other comments about this incident because obviously you're all a bunch of pricks 
Just wanted to say that a) judging by the photos of this bloke he looks well old enough to know what the connotations of throwing a banana skin on a pitch are, and b) who the fuck takes a banana to a football match
That is all.

Racist Yid Cunt..SERIOUSLY couldn't make it up!
I trust the Twitterati have pulled him up on his abberation??
The timeline seems to make some pretty hilarious reading...
As someone else pointed out here, there were PLENTY of Gooners giving it the 'BIG NOSE' yesterday...
Just cos they now buy their Hummous from Waitrose, don't stop some Gooners from still being anti-Semitic.
I guess BOTH clubs have their share of cunty fans...
Maybe it's just a London thing, eh?

Ironically if what was thrown was a coin or something that could damage the headline “Tottenham fans throw missile” and it would have been done and dusted by Monday night!
personally I thought and hoped it was not racist based on the fact it was a Banana skin, I have only every heard of/ seen bananas being thrown a banana skin has no precedence that I know of (and racists don't tend to think outside the box).
It was stupid and the dickhead should have known better, the optics are terrible but I think his explanation is more likely than the alternative.
But you have failed to give this guy the benefit of the doubt despite having less evidence than the jury.
You mentioned earlier about facts and false allegations of racism but here you are making the judgement that the person is guilty without the full facts. You have done exactly the same thing that you have accused others of doing.
You can't possibly know that the reaction of the fans would have been different if the players had celebrated differently. How could you know? The fact that they scored a goal is enough to make people angry.
I think I used the police as proof of guilt with the incident on saturday not with the Alves incident. He's definitely being charged with throwing an object on to the pitch but as managed to convince the police it wasn't racial. No evidence has come out that this guy definitely did not have any racist thoughts in the moment that he threw the banana.
This is not a murder trial, it's an internet forum, there is more freedom here to back up an argument.
Because of his action, i.e throwing the banana skin towards a black player. If I knew the man and could vouch for him perhaps my opinion would be different.
Racist act or not, he threw something on the pitch. Lifetime ban. End of story.
Just because the guy is saying this, doesn't mean people have to believe it.
Right there that bit in bold is lie for a start. He DID mean to offend in some way otherwise he wouldn't have thrown it.
Why should they if they don't know who you are personally? It's not reflecting a positive view of human beings imo to just give someone the benefit of the doubt because they support the same football club.
I do and believe it or not, for the sole intention of eating it (not many healthy snacks at football grounds!). Not sure I will in future though.This is my first post about the banana incident.

Still think the guy was an idiot though, and should have realised the impact it would have made.
Horrible end to a horrendous day.
That is one of the stupidest posts ever posted on the internet.
Unsurprising considering the source.
They wrote something that others construed as racist perhaps? How do you know the accusations are false?
Ignore the fluffer. He's making digs at me but doesn't have the bottle to address me directly.
Barely anyone defended you because they see you for the slimey little bigoted pussy you are.
Don't lose that cool of yours, Sam. It's the only thing hiding your true face.
