Besiktas fan tries to attack Eboue

[Red_Polo]

I left the thread because I couldn't be arsed arguing on pointlessly when I think I made my opinion pretty clear but why do you think that the Arsenal fans did it because he was **** but the Besiktas fans did it because he was black?

It's rather ironic really.

I think you made it perfectly clear you were not condoning the act either way, but just felt it was absurd the way some people rushed to judgment as assuming it to be racist before having any real evidence considering we hated people doing exactly the same with Suarez.

Re Eboue, couldn't agree more with those that pointed out he would be a prime target for abuse in general, not just because of his race. Whether it was racist or not on this occasion, I don't know.

Point is, it's a disgrace whether it was race related or not.

Your previous post seemed to imply it was a problem only if it was race related.

i think you might be the only that read that in that manner..

WTF?

When did any Arsenal fan ACTUALLY leap over the advertising hordings and get on the pitch, trying to attack Eboue? Never, that's when.

Saying Arsenal fans 'wanted to attack Eboue' is bollocks really, it's a bit like when your mate says they're going to wind you up by doing something and you say something daft like "If you do that, i'll kill you" - mere silly figure of speech.

"why do you think that the Arsenal fans did it because he was **** but the Besiktas fans did it because he was black?"

Erm no, the fact is Arsenal fans DIDNT do it.

As soon as racism is involved in any discussion, all humour common sense and reasonableness leave the debate, people are far too touchy about the subject.

Discussing I mean, not actually abusing somebody)

If you read the thread of conversation instead of trying to score points then you would know what I was talking about. You've fabricated an entire argument and continue to miss the point entirely.

Why on earth would i try and 'score points' though? There's nothing beneficial in that whatsoever and i really dont care about non-existent internet 'points'.

I have no idea what argument i've 'fabricated' or 'point' you apparently have that i'm missing. It may or may not have been race-related, we cannot prove that either way.

Your comment about why the Arsenal fans 'did it' because he's ****, but the Besiktas fans 'did it' because he's black is entirely moot, because the Arsenal fans didnt actually 'do' said thing.

I'm not trying to 'score points' or argue, i just dont agree with what you were saying. It doesnt mean i think you're a 'cunt' or anything, or that i'm seeking some weird aggressive online conflict for seemingly no reason.

If the Arsenal fans HAD done the same thing, then one could speculate as to the reasons but as they havent, i dont see the point in speculating over something that hasnt actually happened.
