How the fuck my name gets into a racist topic rant is beyond me , and even worse,my employers an Indian Canadian and not an Austrian!!

Sorry, no harm intended. Was a reference to the tiny village that you tried to lure me to. Clumsily written on my behalf.

Just got back from the qualifier between Sweden and Austria here in Vienna. Sweden lost but it was cool to see Zlatan in the flesh, first time for me.

Anyways, the game took place in Erst Happel Stadium, a stadium built in the twenties. After Anschluss and the incorporation of Austria into Germany as Ostmark, the stadium was used for the internation of thousasnds of jews, later deported to Buchenwald. Most of them died.

During the last moments of the game the audience started doing a chant where the clapped and sang "Sieg". And this was an international game, not a club one, so most of the people there were regular people (the football club-scene in this country is heavily infested by nazis and fascists). And they did a fucking mass exercise of clapping and singing Sieg at a place where a lot of bad stuff happened.

I fucking hate this country. The scum of the earth and Carl's employers live here. It is disgusting.

ps. Sieg without the Heil does not necessarily imply anything but I think the Austrians should perhaps watch out before using that word. Case in Point: a group of neonazis doing the sieg chant in the subway on the way home ds.

an aside... (sweeping generalisation) middle/upper class indians are amongst the most racist people i have ever come across

What makes you say that?

[Nigels Tackle]

i'll start you off with the caste system

[Clowncrete]

i'll start you off with the caste system

Which is practiced by whom, the upper class or the poorer Indians? How many Indians have you met? Are you aware of the ground realities in India?

Gumpoldskirchen? Is that where you wanted to travel to?,the elite in the business world of Austria live there and most are over the age of 80 but I had no time to really comment on the locals attitude as I was there only 1 day and night.

I couldnt live there, but that has more to do with the governments tax laws......the worse in Europe.

As I said, clumsily written by me, did not mean to imply you in anything what so ever.

Austria is built for white men over fifty I think. We could start a collective over here when we ripen.

As for the taxes, we can bribe ourselves into paying little to no tax. They have little to no anti corruption police.

oooohhh!

You know what? The season has ended and this looks more like a "bicker with each other here" forum. Literally every thread has been derailed...

Also didn't see it mentioned on here so here is Kolarov's goal vs Belgium:

Seems a lot of countries are having quite a few friendlies and some having qualifiers this end of season.

When RoI play Spain on Tuesday in NY it would have been their 4th game since the season ended.

Why can't UEFA and FIFA get their collective thick skulls together and realise that instead of worthless friendlies they should use this time totally for qualifiers and fuck off the friendlies - save interrupting the season as much and the numbers of friendly games being played is proof to me that they can be done.

Viewing figures would be better for a start!

So he is going to be out for how long? I assume he can play in a mask to speed his return up but that sounds rather serious.

Just been flicking through Wiziwig and noticed Spain play Haiti tonight at 9 in a friendly. Wonder if Dave and Navas will get a run-out; Isco?

Absolute warrior. He played for an hour with those 3 injuries.

Here's a link with more photos and a video:

No idea how long he will be "out". I cant imagine he'd miss anytime in the new season.
