That's not great news.. But sadly doesn't completely surprise me.. Both are wrong. Uefa/FIFA were worse for the £20k fine or whatever Spain got for all their supporters racially abusing the England players a few years back.. Racism is still rife or certainly present (in my experience) in most football games and grounds I've been to. Nothing obvious like booing or jeering black players, but you hear the odd 'fucking lazy n**ger' etc.. From time to time. You know who says it, as everyone has a seat number - some clubs, sadly not mine, have some sort of hotline where you can tell who is saying what - and that should be national IMHO. Sometimes i sit next to my pal Malc further in the madnheads bit, and two rows in front of him are 2-3 mindless racist wankers. He wants to move, I'd love to grass them up, but bending the ear of a steward would probably result in a warning, and them instigating a witch hunt amongst the fans around them. Butwe're comparing bad apples to bad oranges here, Rooney should have known better, and there will be loads of kids shouting 'fucking get in' when they score from now on.. If they're lucky they won't grow up looking like him! 2 matches is very light. I'm rambling sir.. Some unsavoury situations..
I fucking love Balotelli.
