If we are lacking that information why are so many on here questioning what happened and coming up with scenarios to support their point of view.

ie: If there were 5 people on the bench, 4 white, 1 black, all he had to say was: him in the middle, bloke on the left, 2nd bloke on the right etc.

That’s all he had to say, avoid compromising himself or anyone else.

My point was people are judging this guy as a racist based on his words alone, but the words themselves were not racist at all. You could only say he was acting on a racist impulse if you heard the context and tone that he used.

the lethargy from the 1st team seems to be setting into the thursday night side too sadly

far too much emphasis on shape than there has been in previous weeks, they all look to afraid to make a mistake rather than take a chance going forward meaning it gets slower and slower :(

It’s an education thing, just as many are saying he isn’t racist, but, if the guy he was speaking to feels it was wrong for using the colour of his skin to single him out, then surely he has a right to speak up?

That's a dangerous path. Look at Twitter, people get offended by everything on there.
the word for black didn't help, and its great its got people talking again. But we should wait for an investigation until we brand the guy a racist.

Not once have I said he’s a racist, what some on here don’t like is accepting that we are all different and just because they don’t see it or accept it then it’s not right.

I don’t really care who is or isn’t offended, I’ll try my best to treat others as equal and you or anyone else having a different opinion to me, doesn’t make me or them, right or wrong.

Of course he had the right to speak up at the time, and it's great that the other players backed him/them up. I just suspect their offence taken may have been worsened by the language barrier, unless the official's tone was aggressive as I mentioned earlier.

I’ll leave that to the inquiry, but sadly UEFA have an awful history of taking positive action and thst’s why these thing still occur at the top level.
 
Didn't look off the line but fair enough

No look at the Leeds players in the box when the pen was scored though?

Should have been taken a 3rd time
