Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Vermilion]

The sooner that horrible old cunt goes out of football be it through retirement or a box the better. He is a odious cunt who ruins reputations in order to get what he wants. I hate the old cunt with a passion as we all do. Someone in the press needs to stand up at one of his press confrences and call him out.

If i was a journo i ****ing would but im no gob****e so i wouldn't make a good journo.

The british media also takes the piss and i only hope that the hacking inquiry reins the ****ers in.

Think Kenny might just have had his belly full of him all too soon, and will tell him so, along with a few home truths!

Actually, so might Rafa, again! if this **** carries on.

Love to see Kenny and Rafa wating for Fergie after work to kick his stinking head in!

Got this from TLW

Evra's thick as **** too. what im told is that Evra's nick name among his teammates is something along the lines of 'trigger'. He's known as the slow stupid one in the man utd camp and i mean like really really really thick. He makes Ferdinand look like albert einstein. That is really saying something. They Even shout this name to Evra on the pitch when they want the ball off him. Suarez started calling him this on the pitch to wind him up.

I personally think it will be only worse when he retires. He likes the attention and media likes him so I can see him being quoted and interviewed on any topic all the time after the "big day" comes.

Ok, good point, leaving in a box it is then.

There's something funny about telling Evra to calm down little black man.

If that's what he said, it would be racist rather than funny IMO.

In actual fact I think that's just a very **** literal translation of what he is supposed to have said, it's meaning is not charged in the same way as that translation at all in my admittedly limited experience.

The way the whole thing has been handled has been appalling if you ask me. Kick It Out sounds like a bunch of morons, Ferguson has behaved appalingly, and despite best intentions I think amongst some very good points a lot of what the infinitely likeable Gus Poyet said was wrong too. John Barnes is for me the only one to have got it spot the **** on

Evra is a little black man. Telling him to calm down little black man isn't racist. It's telling it like it is.

[Tee]

I think that is highly offensive. Why not just calm down little man?

Evra is a little black man. Telling him to calm down little black man isn't racist. It's telling it like it is.

So you'd happily say that to someone in the street and expect it to be taken with no offence? How about at work - would you say it to someone there? Why the need to distinguish their skin colour at all?

[BringbackBiscan]

Put the shoes on the other foot & I can guarantee racist wouldn't even be mentioned. It's being used in a descriptive manner and not a derogatory one, don't see no problem at all.

[Reece]

Sorry, but if a black person said "calm down white boy" to me, then yes I'd find that offensive.

There is absolutely no need to mention the colour of someone's skin when telling them to "calm down". The only reason to do so is to cause offence IMO.

He'd not be called racist though, not a chance of that at all.

I assume you do know the connotations of that phrase?http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/c...e-a-spade.html

would you? i don't think i would to be honest...i'd probably just laugh at them and walk away

Yes I would, although it would obviously depend on the tone it was said in.

As said by Barnes, the implication is not the same.

Being white there isn't an inherit slur attached to being called white so if someone called me white even with intended racism it would wash over me because it means nothing.
