    Yeah, you're still at around June of this discussion, buddy. Like I said, I've said my piece about this in several hundred posts over this past year, if not thousands.

    I live in this country. I was several miles away from where George Floyd was murdered. I was yards away from the protests. Before that I lived miles away from Eric Garner. I lived in the South Bronx. I have my take on this and know people in my friend groups who have been hassled by police from stop and frisk, including myself. I am also very close friends with a police officer in New Jersey who has abhorrent political views, but I would consider a good police officer. Whatever you're sharing from YouTube I get the gist of and it's not moving the needle to my opinion because I am comfortable in my understanding of the situation, so again, if you will, save us both some time, and besides, this has nothing now to do with this thread.

    So it's no longer about the facts of a situation. If someone feels they were targeted then that's now enough to condemn someone as a racist. What garbage.

    He is probably the least talked about character in all of these discussions, which is a massive part of the problem too, tbh.

    Turns out that the Turkish bench seem to have been shouting rather more r#cist comments than the bloke they are accusing, tut tut.

    "on December the 8th, one of those moments changed football forever"
    Jesus Christ here we go again. Nothings even changed yet, stop talking like this was 9/11 and nothing will ever be the same again.
    Also note that he didn't deny the allegations that have now come out saying that the reason he was being sent off in the first place was for using derogatory terms towards the Romanian officials, specifically referring to them as gypsies.
    So we've got one person using a derogatory nationality based slur intended purely to insult someone.
    And the recipient identifying that person by their most distinctive physical feature in their native language.
    And it's the latter that is somehow being portrayed as the bad guy in this.
