Its an anti Jewish Nazi salute, he knowingly did it and knew that the French Jewish community(who would see it on TV over there would be offended), ok this ain't France but this country according to the FA isn't Uruguay, can't have one rule for a black Frenchmen and another for quarter black Uruguayan, but the FA make the rules up as they go along.
It's his close relationship with the comedian and the fact he stated clearly it was in support for said comedian. Can't spell his name and can't be arsed looking it up. He (comedian)has stated he created it as anti establishment rather than anti semitic salute but no rational person would choose a salute so close to the Nazi one if they didn't want the association made. Add to that his clear negative statements regarding the holocaust and Jews and no side track is acceptable. Both Nasri and our very own Sakho have been photographed doing it too but both claim they were misled or just thought it was a popular gesture in France. Nasri did his outside Ethiad and Sakho states his was 6 months ago. Anelka is on dodgey ground because of stating it's his close friend. I assume he has more knowledge of both it's meaning , effect and his friends political views. The Nazi salute is illegal both here and in France. Abuse based on religious grounds is also against FA rules. I assume if Jewish fans were present or viewing they could complain (Jewish council has I think, not sure if their Jewish lawyers association has yet though.....) Martin Samuels interestingly calling for double the ban Suarez got based on the public nature (rather than private spat in a public place) of it and what it could potentially introduce into our game..... Carlisle just as interestingly quiet about it, along with J Roberts, Collymore..
Nope lol, Although I believe Auclaire (French Journo who first highlighted it) was on Collymores show tonight but it looks like it was overshadowed by a heated 'should standing be introduced debate'.
I think the easiest comparison theory to make would be this: If Stevie G was mates with a Deep South Yank comedian who regularly made jokes about slavery, suggested anyone whinging about slavery was taking part in 'martyrdom pornography' and had a catchy whipping gesture he did as he spouted this stuff. Would all these guys be as silent if Stevie G did the whippy gesture when scoring, then say afterwards "I was only supporting my friend" Yeah...the silence would be deafening lol.
Another house party for me yawn. Just not the same thing as when I was a teen...lots of wine and kid talk rather than beer and practicing kid making......
Ejaculate into a glass of fizzy wine and offer it to the girl of your choice and you've got her hooked.
Watching right now!! Down by 7 after interception, but getting back into it. Except we can't tackle worth crap and McCoy is dodgey lol
Last game for Senior Brown as well. Big time job over here in the states. Gonna have to be a big name to excite that college again.
That reminds me of my mate. Asked an Aussie girl and her friend as they went to loo if they wanted cocktails, said yes, MISTAKE. Mate bought two, used their camera to take pictures of him stirring them with his cock, put camera back. Came back and he said "there you go girls stirred not shaken". Aussie , slightly confused at our laughter asked "did he not get that the wrong way around?" Had to walk away......
