Romanian reporter saying this 4th offical is a bit flaky, tried to top himself a few years ago. Seems ideal candidate for a high profile pressure job on the UEFA list.

UEFA will ban PSG to get the rags through

This.

Romanian 4th official felt the need to identify someone as a black guy rather than just point and say that guy there.

Probably quite a few people there at the time and doubt he had a clue what his name was. Shame his most distinctive feature wasn't ginger hair and the rags would be already out.

Apparently he said 'the black guy'. Now, uttering those words stops a football match.. fun times

 

[Ban-jani]

He’s apparently referred to someone as “the black guy” to distinguish them sat on the bench from the other players.

If it is that...Is that racism?

Genuinely open question to anyone with an opinion.

Knowing UEFA, they’ll probably give the 4th official a pay rise and a promotion

He could've pointed him out. He didn't have to use that term did he?
Fair bloody play to the players for standing up to it.

Of course it is.
