This is out of hand now, I don’t even know what can be done to solve it but racism in football is rife, it’s despicable.

Or maybe because he's an attacking player with no goal contributions in 2019?Pogba got a small amount of stick from Neville, who then instantly took it back.
Other than that, there was nothing much beside Twitter trolls who do that to everybody.
Lingard gets a lot more stick on this forum. Maybe that's because he's English and because of his race.
No one should suffer abuse but there is no wrong saying player x was shit today. At the end of the day we re all human beings and we all have our bad daysNeither of them should be abused FFS.
Very easy to stage as well. Create a profile which makes out your a supporter of x club and then racially abuse players for that club.This is out of hand now, I don’t even know what can be done to solve it but racism in football is rife, it’s despicable.
He was playing devil's advocate. Everybody bangs on about Pogba getting stick because of his nationality and race (which is ridiculous) whilst ignoring the fact that amongst United fans a black, English player is by far the most criticised.Or maybe because he's an attacking player with no goal contributions in 2019?
That doesn’t do justice to the issue, what about the recent abuse in stadiums? Is that staged too? It’s absolutely rife amongst fans and the media, it would be naive to suggest otherwise.Very easy to stage as well.

Criticism is fine, but draw a line between that and just outright abuse.No one should suffer abuse but there is no wrong saying player x was shit today. At the end of the day we re all human beings and we all have our bad days
Ok what ever.. 1/2 a cm to the right and it goes in, but ok.It's not a good pen if it misses the target. That simple.
They shouldn't get any stick, least of all from supporters of their own club.The bigger question is why should any player get stick missing penalty?
I was referring to the twitter thing. Racism still exists for sure, but however long it takes for something to be established, it generally takes at least as long to eradicate unfortunately. We've come a hell of a long way since the 80s (other countries are still worse than English football in the 80s- like italy and Spain) but the remnants of those people throwing bananas are still amongst us.That doesn’t do justice to the issue, what about the recent abuse in stadiums?

Depends on what you qualify as "abuse".Criticism is fine, but draw a line between that and just outright abuse.
He got tons of stick even before this.Players who have publically stated they want to leave will always take more abuse. Really don't think the english thing comes in to it
We can't have that.How about we not slag everyone off for every mistake? I'd like that more.
He only played a crucial part in winning the world cup with France. So overrated.Pogba is possibly the most over rated player on the planet . Stop talking like he's some kind of Messiah
Nowhere close, you'd think people who are abused from racism would turn out to retaliate but for the most part they see how ridiculous it is and don't stoop to that level. Bunch of trolls, not even worth the attention.Wonder if white players would get the same amount of racism from black and ethnic minorities if they missed a penalty?
Some of the racist abuse towards Rashford was from black guys. If you search for it you will see it (unless not already removed). Really think a lot of these are trolls looking to stir the pot, quite a few of the accounts I saw had fewer than 10 tweets and appeared to be brand new.Wonder if white players would get the same amount of racism from black and ethnic minorities if they missed a penalty?
So you don’t see Chelsea fans racially abusing black players whilst singing songs about Drogba?They're both black.
This is something that bothers me, racism in society is rife.This is out of hand now, I don’t even know what can be done to solve it but racism in football is rife, it’s despicable.
I think simply being an absolute cnut is rife, trolls target anything they can to abuse someone else. If a ginger had missed the penalty it would have been what is used to abuse him, if he was a different nationality insert derogatory term and so on and so forth.This is something that bothers me, racism in society is rife.
I was of the opinion Rashford should take all penalties and still am.No because,
1.) He’s English
2.) Doesn’t fit the media’s/fans agenda
3.) Thus not the scapegoat
...even more ridiculous now that you think of it considering all the shit Pogba took last week for his miss. Not even a miss - a save - whereas Rashford point blank missed.
Can’t wait for the non-story pundits & media make this out to be (Neville, Souness, etc). Bunch of agenda driven hypocrites.
/the amount of uncalled for, unfair abuse Pogba gets is sickening.
Glad someone else sees it.Pogba is possibly the most over rated player on the planet . Stop talking like he's some kind of Messiah
+100.No because,

I agree but my point was about society as whole instead of limiting these issues to football. People are like that everywhere.I think simply being an absolute cnut is rife, trolls target anything they can to abuse someone else. If a ginger had missed the penalty it would have been what is used to abuse him, if he was a different nationality insert derogatory term and so on and so forth.
True.This is something that bothers me, racism in society is rife.
Don’t really get the point of this post, sure all abuse is wrong but this is about racism, an aspect of society that has plagued a particular demographic for an eternity. Racism is a lot more than trolling, it’s a state of mind that aims to oppress a whole demographic, not just a bunch of words used to get under someone’s skin, or trolling as you call it.I think simply being an absolute cnut is rife, trolls target anything they can to abuse someone else.

It was a good save from the keeper who guess the right way. Anyone can miss a penalty.That penalty was the closest you come to without scoring, it went for a goal kick on the opposite side . Pogba’s was crap apart from being hit hard.
