City player reported to police(Kolorov)

Its the use of colour / religion /race in part combination or thereof.

Its not vilification if you refer to someone who is a gypsy as a gypsy.

It is if you refer to race colour or creed in a derisive manner when refering to them as a gypsy.

Calling someone the offspring of an unwed mother is not vilification in itself either.

Woman refer to other woman as whores when they have intercourse with their husband /partner something that happens millions of times every day.

Men also use the term whore to describe a female who provides sexual favours to them and others irrespective of their marital status / relationship status at the time of both parties usually for financial compensation.

Men are described as whores when they perform similar services to both other men and woman usually for financial compensation.

Millions of children are born to loving couples who are not legally married.

Remember marriage in most countries is a legal act as well as having some religious context.

If you are not the son of such a person you can argue that the person has made a false statement and perhaps a rather crass statement but not argue that he has vilified you.

There are usually lots of "England flags" in El Camp Nou because St George is the patron saint of Catalonia.

True, I should have been more specific. Cheers.

The point I was trying to make is that it's not the same as an area that, in the last 2 decades post-Tito, suffered several years of oppression culminating in a little ethnic cleansing.

As far as the FA rules go it doesn't matter. If you use insulting or abusive language to someone you might be guilty of an offence.

If you are guilty of an offence and you naked reference to a persons race, nationality and/or ethnic origin the offence is more serious and you get double the ban.

If the rumours are true he has used insulting and/or abusive language and he has made reference to race, nationality and/or ethic origin.

Thats just the FA rules, not sure what the police situation is.

It depends Moomba on whether he has used insulting language in a racial context.

If he said to someone you are a gypsy its highly unlikely he will face a ban.

He he said to someone you are the son of a whore that can be construed as insulting but falls short of vilification.

I would suspect he would be asked to write a letter of apology and donate his small fine to charity but I would be amazed in the extreme if he was suspended.
 
With the actions this week over the outcome of the trouble at a recent international does anyone smell rat here, the press will love this, Murdoch anyone?

It's the need to get the next 15 second grap.

The press were only focussing on why Balotelli didn't start and hoping RM would say something that might give them added cudos to the headline

Mancini runs out of patience with Mario.

The love affair is over etc.

He in effect said he was dropped form the lineup anyway as he wasn't injured.

No comment on Maicon and whether he was injured / dropped ( or at least I haven't heard anything ) but I assume he was injured but then again who knows because Maicon doesn't sell soundbites.

Now of course it will be Kolorov under investigation for the next short period of time.

On a day when 28 people have been blown away by a 20 year old in America and the much needed change to American gun laws rears its ugly head again the british press will give more air time to what AK said or didn't say to a stranger.

If this prick proves without doubt he isn't a gypsy son of an albanian whore then there might be some case to answer. If he can't end of story.
Very much this.
 
How do we know aleks wasn't racially abused? Sounds to me like this cock has turned up at the game today with the sole intention to do this
