Bernardo Silva charged with misconduct by FA

[balotellishaircut]

Fair enough and I wouldn't say it now but if I was brown I would cherish that and not wish to be referred to as black

If you ask Raheem what do you think he would say, he would say he's black, it's just a term even though he's brown, it's the way it is.

I disagree with that point of view...

Most City fans are not objecting to Bernardo's treatment on the grounds that racism is trivial but because it wasn't racist in the first place.

When society discriminates on the basis of colour, abusing someone for their colour makes you very angry indeed and it has wide social significance beyond an individual being bullied.

How did you arrive at my post trivialising racism? Genuine question because that wasn’t my intention, nor is it my view either.

My point was that people are determined to be offended and will seize on any nugget. I was obliging.

Yes but a guy from Trinidad or Guyana that has Indian background will refer to themselves as brown. At least the ones I know do.

I imagine you and Phil Neville when I'm trying to last the full minute with the wife.

I go for the full Phil the face image, not recommended for the amateur though.

Pep's next on the list......

" The FA are aware of Pep Guardiola's comments in defence of Bernardo Silva, where the City boss said that a young Benjamin Mendy looks like the mascot of a Spanish chocolate company. It is not clear whether the FA plan any further action against Guardiola."

They’ll throw the book at him and hope being labelled a racist will make him want to leave the club and this country they are nothing short of c***s the media want our best players and pep out of here pronto!

I once pictured Gary being ridden bareback by Phil in the rain. My cock slipped out.

Not really relevant to Mendy or Raheem though. It would be correct to refer to them as they refer to themselves surely?

That is not an image I want in my head.
