cidercity1987 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Aside from his obvious and underappreciated talent on the pitch, I find him totally impressive off the pitch too. He's right in what he says and good for him calling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see in today's paper the 'main chap' has been identified. He's been banned for life and has lost his job as a result. The man refutes the claim he is a racist, saying he was calling Sterling a "Manc c***". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in London for 15 years and never heard anyone describe people from Manchester as "Manc" as an insult. Absolute horseshit in my view.

054123 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 As an aside, does everyone think Matthew Sayed’s tweet was acceptable? Ive watched that clip over and over and I really cannot categorically say I know what the bloke is saying. Manc **** seems as plausible as anything else. But whilst Sayed is very clever with his language he cleverly insinuates it’s racial abuse. Is it the alleged racial element of the abuse that’s the issue or just that it’s verbal abuse in general? If it’s the latter then the majority are guilty on a regular basis, regardless of ethnicity or religion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all given players a right earful ( particularly our own!!) but I think there is a slight difference if you do so from way back up in the Dolman. The Chelsea fan gave Sterling both barrels from only a few feet away so right in his face. We can argue all we like that player put themselves in the spotlight, earn oodles of money so should expect a bit back, but I can't see that this type of abuse can be condoned in any way, shape or form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should you lose your lively hood over it? I still don’t know if I think Syed’s tweet is acceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think any adult shouting like that at a player shouldn't be at a football match anyway. I'm all for pantomime stick and booing but that crosses a line for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Matthew Syed is 100% right that the individual is a racist who discriminates against others because of this and can clearly demonstrate that he is racially abusing Raheem Sterling. With his public base, it’s s serious accusation to make with life altering consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
