Reports of a row

Galatasaray accuse Mourinho of making ‘racist statements’ -

He said they were “acting like monkies” on the sideline…how the feck is that racist??

Racism/anti-semitism/misogyny/transphobia/homophopbia is being ‘superficialised’ into whatever the aggrieved perceives it to be these days to meet their own ends. True hatred is being blurred beyond all logical comprehension to the detriment of people on the receiving end of the real thing.

An easy grenade to toss these days with huge consequences

Fuck sake, how can any fan of any club support their player when they do that sort of challenge.

Hard to defend it, but I have to say my immediate reaction on first viewing is that the keeper probably couldn’t see anything much. He was racing out of dark shade with the sun in his eyes, the hacking occured right on the line between pitch darkness and very bright sunlight. That said, he should have known better than to go for a ball he couldn’t see properly.

It’s an accident my foot was in his ear.

Nah. Oscar Gobern him
