5 Live: Police investigating racist incident at Etihad

[There is a Light]

Afraid to say it's true.

In the row in front, a regular, clearly caught up in the moment stood up just as the crowd in that instant went quiet and shouted black twat at Evra.

There was no hiding place. The police did not witness it at all, he was shopped by people around him.

Sad thing was to see his two young daughters left sat crying in their seats, as their dad was escorted at half-time.

Sad to see and sad to hear.

Firstly, he's a ****. Anyone who utters insults like that is, sad for his daughters to have someone like that as a parent.

Why is it spread all over the news though? One blue in 44,000 - fucking big deal.

what happened in CBL3 that got everyone looking?

Only thing that will happen is genuine supporters will be priced out further as the club won't want the trouble makers here, especially with their corporate leanings, making a rod for our own back and it's a shame our fans can't behave, today was a very poor show, some people were far too wound up.

You must sit near me as the lads who sit in front of me, as did a few others around me, heard him too. I must be deaf as I didn't hear it.

Bad news, he's there every game with his two girls. No excuse for it. A moment of madness he'll regret forever if it gets followed through by the police and the club.

I would be more concerned by the 'arrest' and 'dragging off' in front of the two (now abandoned at a derby match)daughters????? is this true?...

Not sure JMW.

Sit in CB2 and seemed to be a 30 something in 2 having a pop at a 30 something in 3. One dibble moving in when I turned back.

Rag was made unwelcome, old school; he will need a shower tonight

Doesn't sound like the described 'racist chanting' from the original story?

What a nob using that as an insult lol. How many black players do we have?

 

[Blue_Ketchup]

said in heat of the moment... get over it. give the lad a 3 match ban and not to do again etc. lesson learnt we have all said things that we have regretted.

 

[let the wild rumpus begin]

Sad that people knew he was there with his kids and got the police involved. A qiuet word would have been more apt.. Now these 2 young girls have had to see their dad being arrested!

Good, he can live with the shame for the rest of his life.

What a load of bollocks, this isn't even newsworthy.

Are these reported racist incidents supposed to prove that there is a problem with racism in the game, because it is pretty flimsy when they can report 10 fans out of about 15 million going through the turnstiles each season.

Today has been bad enough without this shit being reported.

Not a problem with racism in the game. Just a problem of an individual at nearly every PL game! Won't be long before they're banned permanently.
