Porto Lodge complaint to UEFA against City

[Eccles Blue]

Singing songs about an opposition player called Hulk not being incredible is beyond the pale I'm afraid. Expect a european ban.

You mean for the team and for Balotelli? ;-)

No, just Balotelli. 10 matches.

The Portuguese champions claim the English team's supporters behaved in an unacceptable way during Wednesday's match and have lodged a complaint to the European governing body
Porto director Rui Cerqueira has confirmed that the club will file a formal complaint with Uefa against Manchester City over the behaviour of the Premier League club's fans.
The Portuguese club, who were denied the chance to defend their Europa League crown after Wednesday's 4-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium, state that City's fans engaged in 'improper behaviour' towards Brazil international Hulk during the match.

"This kind of behaviour may be normal in England, but we want to eradicate it from football," Cerqueira is quoted by Lusa as saying.

The action from the Portuguese club comes just one week after the Premier League side made a complaint to Uefa following alleged racial abuse from Porto's fans towards Mario Balotelli and Yaya Toure during the first leg at Estadio do Dragao.

The European governing body confirmed on Tuesday it had launched an investigation into the case, with a decision expected to be made on March 29.

Do you have a link matey ?.

Very very petty and shameful if they have.

It is rather apparent we booed him for being a baby, not rascist crap they were coming oout with.

A very shitty move on Porto's part, unless i'm getting clarkied in which case op is a **** :p

Hi bud. 1st time around here. Is pretty much what the translator brought, they decided to move forward with a complaint against City, that was said by their PR - Rui Cerqueira said; <a class="postlink" href="http://www.abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=317291" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=317291</a>

Don't waste your energy finding out why, they are like this and besides sore losers they are playing this game because of the 1st leg complaint against the racist insults.

If any Benfica fans are reading this thread, I see you were right about Porto FC all along.

Over 2 legs we got a diving Hulk, a racist Porto crowd, and a graceless Porto manager. And now a complaint for taunting their player.

Hope to never play Porto again.

"YOU'RE NOT INCREDIBLE, YOU'RE NOT INCREDIBLE, YOU'RE NOT INCREDIBLE"

I suppose City will lodge a complaint about Porto fans booing during periods when City players have the ball.

I'm disapointed in Porto, bunch of bad losers. Racist fans, diving players, players who show dissent to the referee and an ungracious manager. And sad, petty bastards judging from this "complaint".
