Rodri charged by UEFA over Gibraltar chant

[Citycity76]

The punishment will be an intensive training course on the history of Gibraltar.

Ridiculous. Gibraltar is no more Spanish than Ukraine is russian or the Falklands part of Argentina.

...or Cueta and Melilla are Moroccan

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Do you include the Falklands in your generalisation?

Absolutely.
Apart from being 2 - 300 years apart what are the differences between what Russia is doing in Ukraine and what England did in the rest of the British Isles and far beyond?

Shhhhh, our empire was great for everyone, all the time, and we never once did anything bad or even remotely questionable that might have had lasting ramifications to this day…

20 game international ban, keep him fit all season :)

 

[I'm Blue]

It's easy to tell if it's British.
Just go over and wave a union jack flag and see if you get arrested.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Pathetic …! Glad I’m a FOC.. Nobody can say shit about anything these days without some melt getting offended…

Drives me foookin NUTS..!

Selfish ****, what about those with anaphylaxis?

Anyone know if the punishment - when he’s found guilty - will be international or club ban?

They know he’s our best player so it’s a definite guilty verdict.

Meanwhile. Darwin Nunez will not be punished for going into the crowd fighting fans and throwing a chair into the crowd. It’s all a joke

Much as I love Rodders, Gibraltar isn't Spanish. It hasn't been for over 300 years and the people who live there dont want to be spanish. Since he is being very well paid by a British football club maybe best to keep his mouth shut on this one. It also seems a bit hypocritical when Spain still has so many enclaves in North Africa,

That said, it seems pretty harmless and not worth being charged for.

Exactly, we love bid Rod for his footballing ability, not his political opinions, deep down the Spanish know they are not big enough of hard enough to take it back by force. So let him have his sing song about something that will never happen if that’s how he celebrates a Euros win.
