I’m ready with my popcorn & a whole lot of time this evening.
I saw this & thought I was initially overthinking it.
Fair play to Neville here.
The entire system of power in this country is founded on the basis of educating people sufficiently enough for them to work; not for their happiness or enlightenment or even to improve their capability to organise their lives satisfactorily. It's (arguably) not mere snobbery that people express when they're anti-intellectual; it's an attitude encouraged from above, a borrowed and incited attitude.
Dave Jones and Sky having a fecking shocker there.JFC.
Yes.
How do you see the situation playing out.?
I read on the BBC it was songs thought to be racist aimed at Antonio the Chelsea player who was fouled by Son. Not saying either or is better or worse mind.
Yes its Rudiger who makes the allegation, not sure what your point is though?
I think it's an us v them thing. "Our lot are alright but our rivals' lot are primates". They probably think because they've got a black mate, it's alright, everyone's fair game. "It's just a bit of banter mate, we were just joking"
I would hope at this point the match get's abandoned, this is the only way the clubs would take notice.
There's a clip of him pointing out to the ref or players that the supporters are making monkey gestures at him, somewhat surprised it hasn't kicked out in the stands if you're stood there blatantly making monkey gestures at players.
Fair fecks to Nev. Can't say the same for anyone else on the panel though, especially Souness who was on the cusp of suggesting that he was racially abused as a player too before the coward Dave Jones jumped in and cut him off.
Donkey has been used for years at players when they are shit or do something shit. I don't think that term is being used in a racist context.
That originates from the pundits, commentators, and journalists . Have you ever heard a black players praised for intelligence or movement etc? Even Pogba they always focus on his strength and physical aspect, yet if a genuinely thick guy like Rooney did half the passes that Pogba could do they’d be saying “what an intelligent pass by Rooney”...
Rooney gets called stupid all the time. Pogba never has been from what I can remember.
A quick search on Redcafe threw up a load of results where on the first two pages where the word is used about Rashford (numerous times), Lukaku(numerous times), Willian, Lincoln (of Flamengo), Sarr, Diop, Lingard and Maguire. Only Maguire is white, the rest are black.
I'm just saying that footballers have been called donkeys for years (black or white).
