bannedfromHandV Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Brescia's own fans have issued a written statement claiming it's basically Balotelli's fault and racism only exists to cause mass public hysteria. They are his own teams fans. If I was of colour, you could not pay me enough to go and entertain those cretins, I think I'd retire before considering playing in Italy. Of course, authorities will do nothing, as per.......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t excuse it but I think it’s apples and pears trying to compare racism in Italy vs UK, it’s front and centre in the politics and culture of Italy whereas, we at least try to distance ourselves from it here. Maybe I’m wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m wrong though. It's rotten apples to rotten pears, nobody would want to eat either. As weird as this sounds, give me the up front, mince-no-words racism of Italian football/society over the covert UK type that is slowly bubbling up inside and explodes when triggered (as Big Tammy found out). At least I know where they stand from the jump. Plus, British politics isn't exactly great in that regard right now, especially considering who the current PM is and what he's said and done in the past.

All true, although I think said PM represents a very small minority of the British public, whereas it seems to be the modus operandi for Italy. Anyway, pointless debate is pointless, it's a bag of shite no matter how many partake and which country they reside in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a lot of football clubs have got an official poppy badge this year, including us but ours is unfortunately with the new badge, the only one I ever wore was this one but ive left it in England somewhere my gran and grandad collect for the legion, I went and saw them last time I was home and gave them money, I don't have to wear one constantly or change my facebook or anything like that, just give them some cash every year, probably better in the things I don't get thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what annoys me you get people having a moan about people not wearing a poppy, you even had the Sun a few years ago shaming clubs that didn't put a poppy on their shirt. Then acting triumphantly when they had one the next time because they had managed to shame them into wearing one, what these people and tabloids don't seem to realise is that by forcing people to wear a poppy disrespects the people that the poppy represents as they fought for freedom which means people are free to choose whether they want to wear a poppy or not.

sne Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Romania under further investigations after Alexander Isak was targeted by "fans" last week. Be interesting to see what UEFA does if they manage to qualify for the Euro's and get to host a bunch of games. Somehow I doubt they'll be forced to play in front of empty stadiums even thou they've been penalized a bunch of times in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
