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
I just grab something from some chain nearby if I'm hungry before a game. Pretty sure there is some law now that you have to be within 500m of a Subway at all times
please log in to view this image 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.
