I don't believe there's any racist intent behind that though, is there? Just has to do with the colours, no? Red Army seems to be suggesting that Cork City have a far-right element within their support who wave flags that don't just happen to feature symbolism also associated with neo-Nazism, but, presumably, because they feature symbolism associated with neo-Nazism.Quote:

If something was said (at either game), then it should be investigated and justice allowed to prevail. The fact that the mainstream media, and the usual "barstoolers", are all over this to justify their own prejudices is ridiculous.
btw, not sure what the comments (as posted above - I wasn't at either game) about his sister have to do with anything - it might be vulgar, but it's not racist imho. I hope that wasn't the catalyst for the complaints.
I think we need to accept FINALLY that the media are just happy to sell their product to customers and advertisers - just look at the big GAA stories - drool dripping over the Louth-Meath qualifier and Offaly hurlers being locked out of training. Even in the silly season the only think of interest to the sky leaguers is the Ryan Giggs/Footballers (and their brothers) Wives saga.
To boost his profile EZ would be an idiot, and those around him idiots, to put forward a racist claim without some basis. He'd be a virtual untouchable for doing this.
Hopefully Zayed gets punished by FAI if/when these allegations go unproven. Also, what his sister posted on twitter about Shams fans was a disgrace
Of course. It is also worth remembering that one doesn't have to be a six foot brick ****house in order to kick the crap through someone like me! A 14 year old girl could probably do a pretty effective job!Quote:

Jesus wept.
White Irish Libyan bloke with massive ego is upset that Pats fans are slagging his sister so he uses the race card. He's gonna look like a bigger sap than he already is at the end of this. I'd imagine he'll get a lot of stick from away fans after this...
Hibs 4 ever hows he a disgrace. IF a player has been abused raciestly would YOU not come out and talk about it. If a player has raciestly abused another player they are of course going to DENY it as the embarrassement of saying it in the heat of the moment could lead to him being suspended or even sacked from the club. Things are said in the heat of the moment, football is competitive and meant to be just a game. But for people to come on here and say a PLAYER would intentionally come out and try and blame a fellow player for making up that he has been racially abused is a disgrace.Quote:

It's entirely plausible a player said something out of earshot of everyone else and Zayed simply got on with the game. Could equally accuse the player in question of being savvy enough to ensure he has deniability. Both insinuations are a bit crass at this point IMO.Quote:

Has he not been getting enough stick already? Nothing like trying to get on with your job when others are singing crap about your sisters sex life at you:confused: I wasn't there nor know what was supposedly said so I can't jump to conclusions like some of you lot have done!Quote:

Mod Note: Removed
My own opinion is that the abuse he got has been taken as being racial abuse. I don't really get how one person was heard by someone on the pitch and not by any other Pats fans or nearby stewards ( from what I know no one heard it ) . If someone had've said something racist I think Pats fans would've reacted to it. We certainly would've in the SEI section of the ground as it's not something we want to be associated with or have Pats associated with in anyway. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

It's probable that the Rovers player made a racist remark. Yes, Zayed is 'speaking out' but this issue should be 'spoken in' - let the league and the clubs deal with it and don't involve the media. Now, who sent this to the media? The ref? The FAI? The LOI is not a racist league - there are announcements before every match in every ground warning fans. I have almost never heard a racist comment from a fan. There is no need to 'speak out' - this bullsh1t in the media projects an unfair, damaging picture of the league.Quote:
