Yejh. Terry and Suarez were proven but still some people admire their career and don’t mind to say they’re legend. It’s all polemic when a nobody is doing it.

Is FA taking any additional action? I am talking specifically about the entire section throwing objects at Fred. If anything like that happened at the international level (Champions League etc.) UEFA would 100% be penalizing the team and the venue, making them play several consequent matches in front of an empty stadium. I dont see any such punishment of Etihad even discussed? Why? Getting away with this shit means the feckers will feel free to keep going
This exactly.
People chucking lighters and coins at players happens every weekend and has done for decades. The FA don't ever do anything about it.
From what I saw, he got hit with a water bottle pretty painfully. Have definitely seen venues punished for such things internationally. Didn’t know these things were common in EPL. That sucks
Maybe they should do something to stop it.Isn’t that assault? You can’t go on the streets throwing stuff at people can you?
I'm a bit to see some point scoring going on with Sterling. That's not what should matter in a situation like this.
Anyone who uses the word "snowflake" seriously, unless talking about the feathery ice crystal, immediately loses the argument and their credibility.
Spot on. Unless, of course, talking about the feathery ice crystal.
Amen!
That bolded part is patently untrue. Most self-respecting employers have zero-tolerance rule for racism. His employer stated that they do indeed have one and they suspended him pending internal investigation - which is EXACTLY what anybody should expect after being racist on a TV. He was NOT fired based on social media mob accusation - he is suspended pending proper internal investigation, so no need for exaggeration.
Mob lynching is unacceptable in any situation – police, City club and his employer should deal with him, but that dude is no innocent victim, as well. No particular need to feel overly sorry for his idiocy. We’ve seen his video (and not just a screenshot as he claimed) - it’s pretty clear what he was doing. Him trying to lie that he was just “putting hands in the pockets” is simple cowardice and not at all believable.

It was a monkey/ape gesture. No need to die on this hill.
As long as you do realise.
The ban on standing in England was as a reaction to stadium disasters like Hillsborough. Perhaps some of the measures were over the top but I think the vast majority of people are happy with the way football culture has changed since the 80s. You can drink in the stadiums, just not in the terraces. As it happens both restrictions are being looked at and will probably be lifted sometime in the near future. I think safe standing terraces are now permissible.

Law and order can absolutely be dystopian, in fact I'd say that an oppressive and aggressive law and order system would be the cornerstone of any dystopian totalitarian reality. Personally I think having armed riot police at football matches as a matter of course is an example of a failed security policy.
You can't scream "you're shit, ahhh" at someone on the streets either. Or slide tackle from behind the person in front at the queue at the post office (as much as that would be awesome).
What happens at a football match seems to be outside the realm of what is acceptable in normal society.
What were the racist Facebook posts that were uncovered?
Next they'll be telling you that racism is just a pigment of the imagination.There's always a couple in every racism thread trying to find ways to defend it
No need to have a go at he cops mate, only doing their job.
Just Stockport with money. Not even surprised.
Mind boggling the vile hatred the "beautiful game" can bring out in people, lets not kid ourselves here all clubs have that kind of fan lurking around somewhere. Hope they are ALL caught and banned for life from any level of football, just means more empty seats for City.
To be fair to City, Italian clubs could learn a thing or 2 from the way they handled it. Dude's been arrested swiftly and might be banned for life? In Italy they would problaby have told Fred to man up and called it harmless banter.
Oink, Oink...
Apparently there was a fair bit of violence in the stadium with City fans fighting among each other as well. A poster on Bluemoon says his young son was hit in the head with a coin that left him bleeding. Not sure how common this is in other stadiums. Never seen fights among home fans in any game I've been too. That said, I'm an armchair fan these days.
Yeah true that's a bit less common, although weren't West Ham fans fighting each other at a stage last season? Or at least being violet towards their own board? No place for it.
I've been saying for a while that they've become one of the worst fanbases in the country. Glad they're finally under the microscope for it.
City don't take defeats very well. Remember when they were crying 2 years before cause they didn't clinch the title vs us
Have seen a few scuffles inbetween Utd fans at OT in fairness. Not huge punchups but hands thrown. Could always have been oppo fans I guess as you cant hear what was said, but didn't look like it.
As for the excuse he was putting his hands in his pockets? Sorry but that is bollocks, he just realised that play was coming his way and so were the cameras. So not just a racist but a cowardly racist who realised he was going to get caught on live TV.
Yeah, a couple of years ago, there was a commotion about 4-5 rows behind me at OT.
Turned round, and two guys were lamping the life out of each other. Bloody faces etc.
Shocking really!
Why are the stewards so idle? I know many stewards in a match game have less remit to take action but the ones in peak action areas must be of a certain ranking with a level of authority to do something.
I found it a bit odd to see them watch the fans make racist abuse, hurl objects and see no one get ejected from it. Is it that they only care if there's a pitch invasion? That's not their sole purpose in crowd control.

Of course he has done nothing wrong but he should not have said anything regarding his personal feelings on how it should be dealt with as he is leaving himself open. In his next interview a jorno could simply ask him "Do you believe City should be docked 9 points?", if he says yes it puts him in a awkward position with his club, if he says no he looks like a hypocrite.
You 100% totally, utterly can do that.
They're claret, not violet.
I want a video clip of you doing it to someone within earshot of a copper please.
Even without the racism and the chucking stuff at players.
I've just never understood how people in the crowd can be frothing at the mouth and screaming abuse when opposition players go to take a corner or a throw in. They're like wild animals.
I know it's been a part of football for like 40 years or so but it's just never made sense to me. I can't ever imagine getting that wound up about a game of football.

I bet there's some awkward meetings going on this morning in the Kier Manchester office.
Think you'll find he was implying it was Utd fans that threw it. It wouldn't surprise me; we're not perfect and we have some racist bellends following us too
Cheers. I'm wasn't implying that United fans are saints. Every club has ugly factions unfortunately.
