    I'm probably a racist again but 100% agree w you.

    I saw this story yesterday already right after but instead of trying to look what really happened people already had their judgement and slammed this dude for NO reason.

    People are out of their g.d. mind sometimes. Yes, racism needs to get zero tolerance, but ruining a persons life just because he said something involving skin colour (just to make clear which person he meant)... it's a shame!

    If crowd makes ape sounds or s--- like that, players need to quit playing immediately. But what happened here....

    Indeed and try to watch the clip I posted. The hero that everyone picked Webo, called the referees that were all romanian gypsies(these gypsies are making too many mistakes) and that's why Coltescu told the official referee to come and book him cause his behaviour was not acceptable.

    So you have that on tape and UEFA decides to cancel the red card of the only person that was racist that night and allow him to sit on the bench the next day.

    Why? Is beyond me.

    Imo its because people desperately want to fight racism (which is a good thing) but sometimes get blinded and aim their frustration and people that don't deserve it just because they want to make a statement.

    I don't care what people think but my guess is that racism against other minorities doesn't sell that good, doesn't make the headline, doesn't create that big of a buzz so they just ignore it. I mean it is okay to call a romanian gypsy over and over again cause they know no one cares you even get your red card suspended, but calling a black guy "black" in your native language my god that's outrageous how could he. What a f---ing language is that where a black person is called "negru" ban their language, change it.


    I wonder how Demba Ba and Webo feel when they hear there is a country called Montenegro, or when they'll hear the name of the sea thats next to Istanbul.


    This is getting out of hand and the world has gone beyond mad.

    @Michael Myers there was a romanian commentator yesterday on a big sports television here in Romania when the coach of Iasi, Daniel Pancu decided to send two black players in he mocked the situation by saying : "Pancu sends two black players to the field, oops I said "black" I think I should have said something else "of color" maybe according to the absurd rules of globalism imposed by UEFA and the rest of the world"

    I get that you hate them and I don't like them either but up until 2010 they won 2 Premier League tittles, 4 FA Cup, 2 League Cup, 3 Comunity Shield cup and they also won the UEFA Cup(Europa League now)

    But I get what you're saying that they have become famous worldwide after 2010. People that are comparing in either way City with United are delusional. I mean Manchester United is a worldwide brand, any person that knows anything about football knows who United is.

    @Fire Squad I hope Real Madrid can continue this way. Consistency is what they need.

    It seems like this season Real brings their A game only in important games vs quality opponents.

    Agüero came out from the Club I've been a fan of since I was born: Independiente (Argentina). I even got to know him personally.
    I sort of "follow" him whatever club he plays for
    AND... I'm a Guardiola stan too. So both of them together at City made me watch every game and loved their football (up until this season...).

    Makes sense, I'm just hella bored and so excited for monday.

    Crazy story, last year before the round of 16 draw I had a dream out of nowhere that Atalanta will face Valencia and I don't ever dream about football and of course they did. I went and bet only 10$ like a loser and won 65$.
