I didnt see the event meself, did he actually throw it after Boomerang went to celebrate or before?
Shouldn't throw anything but shapes at a football match anyhoo, but the lifetime ban was a bit much imo, 2 3 seasons would be a heavy punishment, life was unfair, and it was just life because racism was alleged.
The racism thing in football now is "He's a witch" and the accused has to prove a negative, which is impossible. Firmino didn't even say anything that could even be remotely misconstrued as racist, yet it hung over his head for months and he had to miss games, punished for nothing essentially, Holgate Might have thought he heard something but he still essentially said "He's a witch", only now, the accused is not drowned to see if they are a witch or not.
He threw it at Aubameyang after he went over and celebrated the goal. I think he got a 4 year ban and a £500 fine. Not sure how they proved that it was a racist act tbh. It was similar to when Adebayor ran the length of the pitch at City and got a ton of stuff lobbed at him, including cups, bottles, a chair, and a banana. People went ape (pun intended) about it being racist, but to me it was just another object that somebody had to hand.
Not saying any of it is right. I'm just not convinced that these are deliberate racist gestures like the ones aimed at John Barnes, Luther Blisset etc in the 80's when they were deliberately targeted by racists. The Aubameyang and Adebayor incidents were just knee jerk reactions to them celebrating in front of oppo fans. In the 80's black players had bananas thrown at them everytime they went near the touchline.
I've never really got the whole eating at football thing tbh. The food in general is **** but you will always get that fat slob who squeezes past you 5 minutes before half time because he can't go 2 hours without eating.
I can usually get from my Mum’s house to St Mary’s without stuffing my face.
But I sometimes dice with the devil at away games; I’ve chanced some genuinely rotten looking burgers from vans outside various grounds. Hence the bananas I frequently pack these days
I never eat at SMS but often grab a pie (if they look edible) away.
Brighton have among the best fwiw.
The pies at Tottenham used to be good. If they ever open their new ground, the rumour is they will only have quiche
Who takes a banana with the intention of eating it so you can throw the skin at a player?

How do you like them... pies. Or something.No sign of quiche, so far. Beer battered tofu and chips is the closest and campest thing, I think.

Who the **** as wine at footy?
