Raheem Sterling

[orly]

Its very unfortunate for the fella if it was just a fit of pique and all he had to hand was a healthy snack. But anyone who can't see the connection between racism, bananas and football is kidding themselves. Its got very obvious and historical connections

Yep. Amazed that anyone can defend it reslly.

How thick do you have to be to throw an effing banana skin on to a football pitch?

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I have no idea about what this guy was thinking so playing devil's advocate if you are the type of mindless idiot who throws stuff at players do you think if he saw it was a banana skin he would stop to think about the potential suggestive implications of the item?

Was it his banana? And who brings bananas to the match as a snack anyway?

Big game for Sterling tonight.

Think he's going to do the biz.

I’d love him to but I don’t think he’s ever turned up against them has he ?

I don’t rate him one bit but just for once I hope he has a blinder tonight.

Well do you not think other sports are much better off? Do you genuinely think you would be hearing racist or antisemitism chanting happening at the Wimbledon, a rugby, F1 match? Try to be as objective as you can while you think of this. Has there ever been incidents with rugby fans chanting racist abuse?

My suggested explanation for all this is that football is a sport followed and watched by the working class, who lack education. So to put into context here, these Chelsea fans are not educated enough to understand what Auschwitz was all about. This is just one basic example.

The England egg chasing song is a negro spiritual because a 'blackie' scored a hat trick once.

They deny it now but it was never sung before.

Hamilton is hated in F1 circles even in this country. They justify it by saying he's flash/arrogant whatever but it's obvious his skin is part of the problem.

Not jusy this country either. Kevin Campbell had to flee turkey because the racist abuse was too much.

I've actually heard more racist abuse/remarks at cricket than football.

1995 old Trafford when Cork got his hat trick against the Windies, it was that bad it was the game that triggered an alcohol ban.

In short racism exists in English football but probably worse in other sports and definitely worse in other countries, especially turkey.

One of the things I've noticed, it's always the middle class supporters that come out with the bile.

Turn up tonight please Raheem

Turn up tonight please Raheem

Never does against them does he.

 

[Khalekan]

Never does against them does he.

Certainly not at The Pit.

City are down to ten men when the Orcs seethe with rage every time he goes near the ball.

 

[4737carlin]

Can see him getting lots of racist abuse tonight from the away end, just hope he can shut them up with a goal

 

[LABlue2]

Useless vs Liverpool, hope he’s on the bench
