If ever anyone needed proof football fans are hypocrites, this thread is it.
Patrice Evra Hates Thursdays | West Ham on a free?
- Thread starter elnorte
- Start date
hopefully beaned some racist cnut upside the head.
From a possible racism angle the bloke he's kicked isn't exactly as white as a snowflake on a photo I've seen. Could be Arab I suppose, it's hard to tell what with his face being obscured by Evra's boot. You can only really see his hands.

Probably just trying to kick Racism out of Football!
Absolutely, I love Evra but he's not done anything to be proud of here as far as I can see.
Jesus Christ. Time to get that Suarez shirt out of the cupboard or did he burn it when he fecked them off to join Barca?
Or you could be just miserable?
You serious? If someone were to racially abuse you on the street, you reckon it'd be okay to kick them in the head?
If he's kicked a racist who cares? Too early to know what went down at the moment but if he was racially provoked more power to him.
Hell yeah man
I’d probably do it if they said hello. I’m off the chain
Yes.
I once saw a young middle eastern lad getting dogs abuse off two lads in the street. They were calling him Osama bin Laden and asking him was his wife a goat etc. He turned around and knocked one of them out and I thought "good on you mate"!
I know we're all supposed to be better than condoning violence. But sometimes I just can't make myself condemn it.
Well, that fan got the reaction Suarez was looking for. It can't be condoned and it's doubtful he'll play again, but at least he waited until this late in his career to have a moment of madness.
Fair enough. Evra has a few high profile racism incidents
Have any reports mentioned racism or is everyone just jumping to conclusions. Maybe he insulted his mother.
Patrice, love you to the core but you shouldn't have done that, my man. I do not know what the fan told you but even if it was racism, you can't kick someone who is a fan in the stadium like that. Now you are going to be banned from Football for like months like Cantona was, which is sad. But I hope you can become our Club Ambassador because we fans love you.
I would say that is a suitable response to racist abuse, yes.
Absolutely nothing to suggest it’s racially motivated
Erm if someone is being racist then yeah. What's your issue?
Can't condone it and I think he should be more composed with his age and experiences but let's be fair, very few of us are rational in the heat of the moment.
Will be banned though and rightfully so. Vitoria also deserve punishment for letting a fan do that but that'll be dependent on the what kind of abuse it was.

From what I understand, they were saying that he is shite.
Yes.
Bon Anniversaire
From what I can understand from their forum, it seems the fans have been pretty pissed off with him for a while. Aside from not playing very well this season, many of them seem to have taken issue at his very public instagram videos - celebrating Mondays with laughter and jokes, just after they've suffered poor losses against the likes of Rennes and Monaco.
Really? How many?
Absolutely.
Which is fair enough that they are pissed off.

But who decides what level of verbal provocation is enough to warrant hitting someone?
This doesn't mean I excuse racist behaviour. I think those people are the lowest of the low. But saying that it's okay in some cases for verbal abuse to be answered with vigilante physical assault - that sets a dangerous precedent, and I'm not okay with that.
It doesn't. It teaches the person being racist to think again before opening their mouths.
So... When are the Evra T-shirts going to be printed?
I'll do it.
It'll be a pain in the arse obviously but if it helps they can ask me and I'll decide whether a racist feckwit deserved a kick in the head or not. My references include being a white male in my 30's and having been kicked in the head myself on more than one occasion. We could turn it into a tv show like Judge Judy.
What level of racist abuse do you think people should be able to engage in with impunity?
I’m pretty confident that two wrongs don’t make a right was one of the first lessons I ever learned in life
At his age that probably ends his career. Not the way anyone outside Liverpool would want such a great player and character to bow out.
If the guy was racist then I’m fully behind Pat booting him. Can’t believe any of you are effectively condoning racism.
Condoning racism by not believing a kick to the head with studs on from a professional football is justifiable? If So, sign me up as a racist supporter.
Fully deserved. There’s not many things I’d say require violent action but racism is one of them. Putting milk in whilst the tea bags still brewing is another.
That's a pretty stupid conclusion to have reached.
If Rio Ferdinand can be a boxer then Evra can do UFC
Horrendous post
We don't know that it was about racism but let's go with it anyway. There are mechanisms in place to punish people for using racist language in a football stadium. A boot to the head isn't one of the potential penalties, nor should it be.
