    If its not an over-exaggerated story (which it kind of sounds like) then fair play to him haha.
    Lets redefine what it means to heal

    Why on earth wouldn't he report that?
    Fair enough if it doesn't bother him, but it's still pretty shocking stuff.

    Thing is, its still parr for the course in alot of countries. Its a side to the game you just dont think about unless you witness or experience it.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Sounds a bit made up to me but it's never good to hear stories of players being treated that way, fair enough he's playing for rovers so deserves to be mocked and abused but only because of the jersey he wears not skin colour .

    Greece is far from a problem country with regards racism on the terraces.
    The vast majority of PAOK fans are not racists or even right wing, they are actually predominantly left wing and there are plenty of pictures to prove it.
    Also it might help if Ricketts gave the fans of his own club a crash course on racism.

    Still hurting I see, long may it continue. I'm sure the Samaritans in Sligo are overrun at the minute.
    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.

    Highly unlikely I'd say. I thought they were chanting 'CHAMPS, CHAMPS' to our players seeing as we're the CHAMPIONS
