Racism towards Mario last night

[horlock2000]

Is it just me or did anyone else see the guy in the Yellow jacket directly above the cross bar after Mario had scored his penalty making monkey gestures towards Super Mario? I suppose this is wht he looked straight at him after he scored, he must have been bellowing aload of racist shite at him. Disgusting in my opinion and where were the stewards?!

A 60 year old guy with a heart condition is getting dragged outta his seat for standing up at our ground but this fat waste of space can get away with that?!

As i said, take a look at the highlights again and look directly above the centre of the crossbar when he scores. I noticed him in particular but i reckon there was a few who were doing it/shouting racist abuse.

It was in Spain ... this eez normal


Of the british media, only the Independent made any reference to the incident

I didn't see or hear anything on the night. However when I was in Valencia every single Spaniard was giving shit to Lewis Hamilton for being black, but you never heard a peep when Jenson Button or Anthony Davidson went past!

Saw they also tried to get us back with missiles at Nasri, shame they didn't understand we were throwing them at the camera men all night not at players.

Anyone notice the laser pens?

This was my point on the other thread. People seem more interested in the lazers than dealing with an ongoing problem we all know exists. How the powers that be (including the media) allow it to continue with no real effort to target the offenders and make an example is beyond me. Fucks me off the way certain european clubs allow it to continue.

If it happened at the Eithad there would be uproar!

The TV coverage over here was pathetic. The cnut Birtles, didn't even mention it, and had the audacity to say it was Mario, winding up the crowd.
Where do we get these morons from?

If it happened in England there would be uproar. There's still some stigma hanging over us from the hooliganism problems from the recent past and yet the footballing world is willing to turn a blind eye to racism in Spain and Italy. Everyone wants to blame someone else for it but the only way to stamp it out (in football) is to make the clubs responsible for the behaviour of their fans (as I mentioned in one or two other threads some months ago)

The main thing is they threatened us with sanctions for throwing paper though so at least UEFA have got their priorities right. Wankers.

I really cant get my head around the mentality of these fans. I'm not saying its ok to chant this if you have a team full of whites but do they not realise that half of their own team are black? Same goes for the Chelski muppets, how the fuck can they sing that when they have got Cashley, essien, Drogba, Studge, etc. playing for them. Thick as pig shit.

UEFA should penalise the clubs whose fans make racist comments/gestures by banning the club from European competition for a season

[Slim]

I am not sure if anyone is surprised by this, I mentioned it in the match thread that it was Spain and the reason he looked pissed after scoring the pen was probably because of racist comments, same reason Kompany grabbed him immediately after and dragged him away(what a captain that guy is).

Sadly, the fact it has gone on for years and nothing has been done about it probably means that very little will be done this time, and you guys really don't have to highlight the stupidity of racists, even with an all white team I think we'd all agree that level of hate mongering comes from the intellectual equivalant of a slug.

However, if the newspapers did run this story, they'd probably find a way to blame Balo for being overly black.

I guess the question is what can be done about it?

We as fans are virtually powerless.

Short answer, closed stadium for the next 20 home european games, no away allocation.

Do that once, see how many fans make stupid chants then.

Same deal for Chelsea as well, fuckign disgraceful bunch of rentboys.

It would easily work. but too much money would be lost for clubs to agree.

Fixed.

While they'll pay lip service to any kind of ban/fine, UEFA will in no way want revenue for the Champions' League to suffer in order to overcome racism.
