Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Mate, I wouldn't give a dogs fart if someone called me the white guy. Who gives a ****.

 

Nor would I mate.

Imagine it's very different for a black man to hear 'negru' though. Even if it wasn't meant with any malicious intent I can certainly see why he's taken offence to it.

 

As for the walk off, there’s protocols in the game for this. The crowd make racist chants or comments there’s a warning given over the PA, if it continues then iirc there’s a final warning given, then the players can walk off.

In this scenario, a 4th official saying ‘that black guy’ is that a walk off trigger? Not for me, seems like a massive over reaction imo. We’ll see what the full story is.

 

Wouldn't that be the same if a description was given as a white guy? A white guy would get pulled in rather than a black guy.

 

Yeah, if 'Alu Negru' simply translates as 'the black guy' then it seems like its just something that's been lost in translation. As you say, there are protocols for dealing with actual racial discrimination.

 

It wouldn't bother me to be called a honkey either tbh.

 

Yes if that was the case ... agreed ...

 

Alu baldy would've been just fine

 

Pogba is defo going to save the day for United here.

 

It seems to be a language miscommunication more than anything but I can understand the anger at what he heard and the word used.

 

On the money there Libs ...

 

Good on Utd joining in with the protest. Shame on Leipzig.
Racist vermin.

 

I'm going with Demba on this tbh... The players have numbers for a start..

 

Wasn’t it the assistant manager though mate?

 

Oh I see

 

It wasn't a player mate.

 

Oh dear

 

Manyoo

 

Oh dear Utd

 

United just lulling them into a false sense of security before sending on double penalty and OG for the last 15
