They didn't use a transparent PNG, now I'm offended.
I've just ordered mine.
FA to investigate Edinson Cavani | This thread is taking a break
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He seriously doesn’t get it!
To be fair to him, he’s been quoted a lot, I almost feel bad for him.
This thread is going to have more posts than the Cavani 20/21 performance thread
But Cavani is now employed by a British club, so he has to adapt to our language and culture.
Good post
People used to sneer at Michael Owen and the ilk for being bland when they played.
But they were actually the sensible ones. Not giving even the slightest chance of any word or action being misconstrued.
These days it must be a lot more difficult though as there's a million outlets instantly reporting everything you say and a million people to offend.

Oh Caf never change.
An old can of worns, but it can be argued both ways. Thing is, there was really no proof that Suarez actually racially abused Evra. Suarez said that he said 'Per que negro' (why matey) which in itself is not offensive. Evra I believe said that Suarez told him 'Porque eros negro' (because you are black).
United fans decided to believe Evra, Liverpool fans decided to believe Suarez, FA did an investigation and essentially believed Evra's events and banned Suarez. As far as I know, there were no witnesses who confirmed either side of the events.
So, while there is a good chance that Suarez really racially abused Evra, in which case he really got lightly punished, there is also some chance that Evra (who speaks Spanish, but it is not his native language) misunderstood the sentence, which makes Suarez the victim on this. Considering the context (not really friends and being rivals), and the inconsistency on Suarez and Kuyt testimonies, I tend to believe Evra's side of events, but who knows what really happened.
Either case, has nothing to do with Cavani, who thanked a (white) fan by using the word 'negrito'.
You go by the country that you're in.
It's a defence of sorts but it doesn't wash anymore than punching someone in the face and saying that's how you act with your mates.
I think he revels in it, so I almost feel bad too
Sounds like faggot. You fecking racist homophobic cnut!
3 match ban I reckon
No I’m all good.
Just amused reading all these old geezers unspooling because they are having their white supremacy toys being taken away from them.
Same happened during BLM, Churchill status’s and will continue every time an event that exposes them until finally we have removed all such cruches.
Law is on my side its all good for me.
Hang on are you saying that negro can mean matey as well as black?
What people need to realise is that that what Sammsky is demanding is not "imperialism" it is just radical left wing language policing.
This was on the internet, not in the streets of Manchester, talking to a fellow Uruguayan that he apparently knew. How is this anything to do with Britain? He was using an American site for starters.
He's a Uruguayan that for all we know was using a phone purchased in Uruguay, on the South American app version of Instagram, talking to his mate in Uruguay in its native language over Uruguayan servers. He has to adapt to feck all.
Exactly
I don't know where to start on that so I'll just say no and move on.
Not answered the question just thrown insults over nothing. Well done.
Idiotic.
Is he?.......and it seems that his friend is white after all.
Can i say white ?!
.. Playing for a club on the American Stock Exchange..
Yes. The person who is referred to negro (or negrito) doesn't even need to be black in the first place.
There are even studies on it, for example: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17442222.2017.1368895
So many pages of circular arguments and worse insults being thrown about with each other in this thread than actually is the case with Edinson.
Much of this must be judged on the context and tone of the remark. The equation is not applicable to Suarez in this case. The fact Suarez used the term negrito during a heated game with fierce rivals and with a player he had no history of friendship was telling.

Your free days are numbered, once sammsky becomes MP.......and it seems that his friend is white after all.

Apologies. I must've quoted a post of yours quoting someone else and, in editing it down in the reply box to pick out the bit I wanted to address, ascribed it to you in error. (Checking back, the quote should've been credited to Zlatan 7.)
It's not though. The issue of what he said is being rightly or wrongly called out because of potential connotations in the country in which he is employed. It's not about whether or not it should be considered offensive or not in his native country, pobrecito.
Bingo.
that's exactly what differenciates Suarez action from Cavani's
is all about context and intent
My god, I haven't laughed so much in a while, this thread has been amazing.
I haven't seen a better roasting since the "Roast of Charlie Sheen", @sammsky1 definitely played a brilliant part in self-imploding, as usual. But then he somehow went even further and reached new peaks of turmoil.
A thread for the classics, no doubt, with all the countless anecdotes and funny multicultural information. I've read through most of it and it has been a ride. Shout out to my SA brothers @antohan and @Marcosdeto, I feel your pain lads, but thanks for the insight and pure entertainment that this shitstorm has brought.
