Other Football - 2018/19 Season

[Numero Veinticinco]

It would be quite irregular for a Londoner to call somebody a Manc as an insult. 

[Pidge]

Not many words about Rashford's cheating to get a player sent off there.  Good to see they've got the refs onside ahead of next week.

We really need to bum them dead hard next week.

 

Think we haven't beat them in league since 2014....need to sort that.

What about this Chelsea beaut..... calling Sterling ‘a fucking black c**t’

Absolutely shocking, there’s a black Chelsea fan literally three seats away, vile.

Typical Chelsea fans really, no surprise at all.

[Pidge]

Looks bad that.  Glad to hear the police are looking into it.

 

I seem to be staying up to watch Nora Batty out-tactic David Morrisey on MotD here...

Heard about this on match of the day, there's just no need for it at all. Sometimes people are so set in their ways that they act the same now as they did 30 years ago without realizing there are so many more ways to be seen doing the things you do. 

 

I suspect the club will ban them and the Police will take action against them. Idiots.

[Guest Alex_K]

MOTD Commentator: "Claudio Ranieri and Jose Mourinho, who are good friends, exchanging their contrasting views on the sending off..."

 

Jose Mourinho (speaking of a 56 year old Ranieri):

“He (Ranieri) has lived for five years in England and still has trouble saying good morning and good afternoon,” Mourinho said.

“He is almost 70, and he has won a Super Cup and another small cup. He's old and he hasn't won anything. He’s too old to change mentality.”

 

With friends like these.

And yet it happened. How about that.

I’m sorry Shooter, I might have got the wrong end of the stick here, but the main problem for me is that there are still some people who think that calling someone black is some sort of an insult. As if being of colour is somewhat inferior than being white. The chance of being caught shouldn’t come into it at all. The dude is an idiot for doing it not for getting caught.

Well, if you say so then it must be true.

No, if it happened it must be true.

 

At least this episode proves one thing that I have always suspected: I am much, much better at lipreading than most.

[Guest Alex_K]

Think its pretty clearly Manc too; there's also 0 reaction from anyone around in the time proceeding. Will be interesting to see what comes out.

I think the term "Manc" is fairly ubiquitous these days. The full title "Manc cunt" is still mainly spoken on Merseyside however as language develops so quickly these days it no doubt be be the standard term used to describe anyone connected with or supporting either of the Manchester clubs.  

[Anubis]

I think it looks more like “Manc” to me, but I couldn’t be sure. 

[Anubis]

Just watching highlights of the Cardiff/Saints game. Two clear Southampton penalties not given by John Moss. Is there a worse referee on the planet. How is this clown allowed to continue officiating in the PL?

I made two points - the first being there is no place for racism, the second being the effects into his own life will be far reaching. Racism is abhorrent, as is any type of bullying. Unfortunately it is a fact of life that people do it. But when it's done in a public arena where there are cameras pointing everywhere, the fallout from it is likely to be huge - employment, relationships etc. 

 

Both points can be solved simply by not doing it. 

[Jairzinho]

Absolutely no idea how anyone can say with any degree of certainty whether he said "black" or "manc".

[Spy Bee]

I'm pretty certain he's saying black. I'd be confident enough to put a decent amount of money on it.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I'd honestly not allign myself with tram black or team manc. Either way the fella is top gammon and undoubtedly has a union jack tattoo but I'm not sure he's committed a racism 

[Red_or_Dead]

Not shown on the clips above is Sterling's reaction which they showed on MOTD - he looked as if somene had said black cunt to him.  Either ways the horrible chav cunt will be banned, reminds me of that lawyer guy from a few years ago:

[Ginny]

He looks like Brick Top. I thought he said Manc cunt and there’s a black feels about three people away from him. But I’m not sure how anyone can confirm what he actually said. 

[Oh Buoy]

You could easily say he says: 

"You pink bastard, fuck off", "you thick bastard, fuck off" or "you fake bastard, fuck off". 

 

Or, he could have said, "manc", "black" or whatever. 

 

Either way, Chelsea should be placed into administration and every fan shipped off to some of the flooded islands I discovered when I was bored on Google Earth. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'd rather be called black than Manc..  eurghjh.. Manc disgusting. Can't think of anything worse.

 

Anyway great result last night it allows room for when we drop points against the "mancs" which is fucking inevitable. With odd exceptions we always poop our pants against them. I for one am sick of it.

It's fair to say that the player on the end of the abuse believes it wasn't "manc".
