Anyone see the story on Kolo? From BM

[Goataldo]

If this bilge is true, he wants flaying with his own sports bra. What is it with footballers and their incessantly flapping cake holes? And as for comparing himself with Tevez - how to lose friends and alienate people, or fookin what!

I think you need to read back a little mate, may find that you will need to change your view.

Maybe that would be useful, yes. However, I did use the the all important pre-cursor 'if', and I maintain my right to jump to ill informed opinions based on a lazy dip into an internet thread.

Think everyone needs to go a bit easy on kolo. People say all sorts of crazy things when on a comedown from class A's ;)

ooo, very good!

i don't really remember the arsenal invincibles tbh, but if joleon lescott is keeping you out of a world class team then it really probably is time to fuck off. see thee kolo.

if i was a manager i would have to think twice about bringing in african players because of the ANC.

Out of interest has bacon ever had a top African player in his squad?

So if the direct quotes are not from Kolo, I presume he will be suing for libel? Or at least pursuing a full retraction and apology.

Quite the opposite; the journo involved is threatening to sue him if he claims it's a lie as they have him recorded.

Kind of what I was getting at really - my theory was that it was an old interview which hadn't been used until now. Mancini said Kolo came to him to apologise before the story broke, so the journo told Kolo it was coming out.

Franck Annese, the So Foot journalist, told the Guardian: "I did the interview. If he says no, I will sue him. You can write it in your paper. We have got the evidence that he did it. Everything has been recorded."

We dont need this shit.......if Kolo did say those things then I hope we fuck him off in January even though this may have a huge effect on his brothers future with us.

It's a BS story

http://sport.uk.msn.com/football/articl ... =160004985

City have asked for transcripts and recording from the "source" who are known bullshitters, have even been sued for quoting people who they haven't interviews

Full article:

Manchester City are seeking any evidence, whether a tape recording or a transcript, of a highly contentious interview allegedly given by Kolo Toure criticising a team-mate and suggesting discrimination against African footballers in English football.

Manager Roberto Mancini has given the former Arsenal defender the benefit of the doubt, after Toure claimed that he did not make such statements, but the club are investigating the case.

City have been told that there might be a tape of the interview, and will explore their options (which could include action against the player) once they are able to get hold of it.

Quotes attributed to Toure in So Foot magazine included a damning assessment of fellow defender Stefan Savic, who signed for City in the summer, and suggested he was ready to leave the club.

Mancini said: "I spoke about this with Kolo yesterday. He said he did not say anything about this. Kolo and I do not have any problem. He explained this to me and for me it is finished. It is okay now.''

When asked if he believed Toure, Mancini said: "Yes I did, I believe him. I did not read the article so I don't know what Kolo said, I can say only yesterday at training he told me about this interview. I don't know what he said or didn't say.

"Yesterday before training he said to me: 'Sorry boss but in the newspaper it will come out that I said this, this, this - but I did say nothing about this.' For me this is okay.''

The club are also aware that the publication has history in this area. In October 2010, Lily Allen accepted undisclosed damages from So Foot over an interview which quoted her as making offensive remarks about Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham. The magazine admitted no interview ever took place.

A club insider told ESPNsoccernet: "There was also an incident two years ago when Adebayor played against Arsenal for the first time after his goal celebration and an interview appeared in this publication, and it was proved that he did not say what he was reported to have said."

It was his only way of becoming a one-in-two player.
