The "fachas" , the racist right are still a blight on Spanish society I´m afraid. The nationalism being whipped up into a frenzy atm here by all sections of the Spanish media is manna from heaven for them.

There was a moment very early on in the game when he had the ball near their box and it was clearly audible.

The whole media focus was on the ukrainian/polish fans before the start of the tournament but the spanish have a history of this sort of behaviour.

I didnt hear it myself but i'm willing to accept it if the mirror reported it.

In all seriousness though I wasn't listening that hard.

The spanish "Ultras" always make racism-noise in and out the stadium. I don't why UEFA close his eyes and ears for this fact. The Real Madrid's Ultras Sur is the best example.

Can anyone confirm/deny whether the photo in this report is from the Croatia-Italy game or some photostock thing? If it is from the game, it's pretty much irrefutable that there have been racist incidents. If not, then it's irrefutable that the BBC are intent on fanning the flames...

Any answers?

This is supposedly a football site but sounding more and more like a council's diversity watch program. I condemn racism too but would like to hear something about Balo actually justifying his selection by delivering something on the pitch.

So far he's looked like Italy's Ashley Young.

Poor form to use this thread to point that out. You could have used the other Balo thread farther down the first page: http://www.mancityfans.net/mcfnet/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=40446

I thought he was getting it from the off and that you could clearly hear it. As it was getting no comments on the telly I thought I must be imagining it.

I respect your viewpoint, mr nool, but that thread is about Balo's attitude. I'd just like to see him make some impact on the tournament in a footballing sense.

we all would, dickcheese....this is a thread about how fucking ridiculous the racist chants aimed at him are/were.

unless yr some racist cunthole who's trying to make light of it because you enjoy it, then find another thread to bitch about his peformances, or offer up a connection or a question or something. And yes, coming from me, it is rich to ask someone to stay on topic, but this topic is actually interesting, and noteworthy, esp. in light of the last Prem season where two very famous players were accused of being racist-ish twats -- one Latin and one English.

what do you think of the racist bullshit leveled at Balo?

Yet another prime example how much really UEFA cares about racism. Sad but true. They are a joke

I believe that was our friend in the cloud

dickcheese and cunthole was perhaps uncalled for...but the thrust of his point I fully agree with. Go to the "balotelli's attitude" thread for that kind of debate

Nooly? I think my comment to "sheikh it all about" was fairly level headed. Just because some American cunthole was trying and failing to be confrontational, funny and PC at one and the same time, you don't need to bring me in to it. Just sayin.

Cheers
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

For the record Nooly's post was perfectly well made and caused no offence. It was our American friend who threw around the insults.

We are all entitled to be ignorant. Some people just abuse the privilege. There's one or two on every forum.
