I thought that was a great response. The fan should be named and shamed though like Alves has suggested.
I assume this video is of the banana incident? Classy! Did more than the FA has ever done to fight racism and make mockery of racists... ... Seen pictures of Suarez supporting him- posing with pictures of eating bananas. Surprised that hasn't met "controversy"- considering some see him as the Uruguayan Hitler. Wasn't the fan banned? Hopefully for life. A life time Ban- ana.
Another player certainly would react in a different manner and drag it on...and on. The offender knows the score now.
John Barnes got a banana thrown at him in first Merseyside derby game, he showed his class and contempt all in one classy move by flicking it up and backealing it in the direction it came from. please log in to view this image
I would hope he wouldn't eat any in the future too... wouldn't have the same impact the 2nd time... and if anything- if he ate one again it would encourage more people to throw bananas- even some non-racists would probably throw one to get a reaction- would have a negative effect and damage the good he's done.
I missed all the Chelsea backlash [Got a PM from saint, similar story to me, he won't be around for a few days.]
i was going to say you seen Molby, but he looks the fecking same lol. size of him though, the skill he had/still has is unreal. remember barnsie doing that,class act from a class player
So, Villarreal were fined £9,850 for the banana throwing...what is the actual point of a fine like that? Villarreal, to their credit, identified the fan and have given him a lifetime ban. But I don't understand the fine. 10k is nothing for a club, so it's a bit pointless in that regard, but surely since the club have apologised on behalf of their moron supporter and banned him, why are they being fined anyway? They can't predict someone will use racist behaviour in a game so what have they done wrong? Either come down hard on the club with a proper fine, or fine the fan/take criminal action against him instead. Just makes no sense to me.
