Racism in football

[Corcaigh32]

Remember doing english homework about an article in an english newspaper around the early to mid 80's where John Barnes would routinely have bananas thrown at him when on the pitch by the LIVERPOOL fans.

all these fake racist claims do a disservice to players who are actually getting racist abuse don't you think?

You have no proof that Terry and Suarez are innocent

Paul Stewart called Keane and Irish so and so a few years ago, clearly audible on the telly. Keane told him to piss off and clattered him later on in the game.

That was the end of it.

You cant clatter anyone now unfortunately.

Proper order too. If Keane had gone public every time he was called an Irish "whatever", he'd have needed his own newspaper & tv station.

Black players "play this card" quite a bit. Etoo in his Barca days when he wasn't playing well away from home, used to whinge conveniently about it.

Points scoring on racism is pretty pathetic

He was being openly called a "Monkey"

who's scoring points here except you taking some bizarre moral high ground?

Spot on Corcaigh.
Barnes was Pool's first ever black signing which led to insinuations about thwe club being racist. With such a second-generation Irish following it was possible.
Mark Walters took awful crap from the Rangers fans when Graeme Souness signed him. Portsmouth's following were notorious for giving their black players a hard time too.

I'm not saying certain players are right or wrong

You are pathetic and using it for point scoring purposes

Loads more did it last week in the Liverpool thread including Langer Dan against Suarez
