i have to be honest, if i was a ref and i KNEW about the history, i would have let it go all day long. emre is the kind of **** who deserves it tbh.

unprofessional of me yes, but how the **** can people be racist in football in this day and age. Do they just hide it from their teamates of different race? cowardly.

John Barnes yesterday:

'Personally, I don't blame Suárez or Terry for what they did – they are simply products of a society and environment that allows them to think it is OK to speak about certain people in a certain way. It would be far better if instead of banning them and demonising them, the Football Association aimed to educate them and make them see that black people are undeserving of racial abuse.'

Funny, I dont remember Barnes taking that line when the Evra situation was in full swing:

John Barnes has attacked a "witch hunt" against Luis Suarez after he was banned for racially abusing another player. The Liverpool striker was banned by the FA for eight games for using "insulting words" in reference to Manchester United defender Patrice Evra's colour. Barnes defended Suarez, saying: "As much as we will say ignorance is no excuse, ignorance is an excuse." He said that "cultural differences have to be taken into consideration. From a cultural point of view, [Suarez] has been backed by people from Uruguay saying the word he used is not deemed as a racist term."

He probably also believes that the reason he was sacked from Celtic and Tranmere was because he was black, not because he was utter mince.

He's so anti-racist that when he was a player at Liverpool he dressed up in Klan gear for a Christmas party.

Proper Martin Luther King this feller.
 
This anecdote is in todays Guardian

When Diniyar Bilyaletdinov signed for Everton in 2009 a night out was arranged and the captain, Phil Neville, rang him just before he left to explain it was customary for all the players to wear a suit. The £9m signing from Lokomotiv Moscow was in jeans and trainers but, keen to make the right impression, he ironed a shirt and turned up looking crisp and business-like only to find everyone else in casual gear and realise he had been the victim of what is known, in dressing-room parlance, as banter.

Bilyaletdinov got his own back, emptying a plate of left-overs into the inside pocket of Neville’s coat, and later explained that back in Russia it was common there as well to play cruel stunts on one another. “What sort of thing?” someone asked. And the story Bilyaletdinov told was of a player putting a banana in the bag belonging to one of the black footballers.
