Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Taifi gorm]

Demba Ba firmly established in the anti-kopite hall of fame now. Calling out racists, dodgy officials and a certain goal. Never be welcome in Mordor.

That’s shoulder to shoulder, happens 100 times every match all over the pitch.

It's one that people disagree on but for me it isn't as the defender is trying to go across him and block instead of after the ball. I'd be surprised people are so adamant it is clean but I'm never surprised about people being mad at referees anymore.

Making money off United this season has proven to be so easy.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Considering the list of countries isn’t Nigeria, Ireland & Hong Kong then then yes the colour of their skin is what that word is all about.

Filipinos aren't dark skinned, neither are most Malays. There are, however, quite a few dark skinned Irishmen so I don't think your point holds water.

 

[TheBigIguana]

@TheBigIguana just really likes penalties and wants every bit of contact to be a pen

That isn't true at all but I find it hard in that instance to see any way the defender is doing anything but playing the man because he is beaten.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

We don't even know if that word was even used. Very odd to jump to defend it though.

Why do you think I'm "defending" anything? All I did was answer a question. Do you often jump to the wrong conclusion about things?

I thought it was a pen. He puts his arms across Ronaldo rather than it being a simple shoulder to shoulder

I’d be more shocked if you just actually went with the consensus so I’m not surprised you call that a pen.

Consensus everywhere else is it was a foul. Just the British hoofball lovers that want that to be allowed.

He actually admits to the referee as well, on television that will be seen across the world. Dear me.

i mean he shouldn't have said 'that black guy' but it's hardly crime of the century. The N word is different.

Could easily sort that out after the game. I struggle to understand how Demba Ba is offended by somebody saying he is black

The 4th official has to be gwladysnight explaining what's racism and what's not, for christ sake walk away apologise and resign you racist idiot.

 

[Huyton Layne]

He's said negru meaning black in Romanian not used a racist slur. Not right to do but not as bad as being made out.

explains a bit. Could be misheard as "N%^^£$' in english

 

[Death]

Omg what happened at PSG?

You mean the people that invented the game we watch today.
