Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 the fact he has equalled warding's record for most goal in one domestic season in any of the major leagues set back in 1931 tells you everything you need to know. He's not even in the "prime years" of 26-32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 He also says that other Argentine players - including Real Madrid ones like Heinze and Higuaín - called him and Diarra that. And that even though the word irked him he understands they weren't being racist. As I said when the Suárez fracas happened, they use that word very commonly down there.

Fenham Mag Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Is he allowed to get away with it though ? It would be hypocritical of the majority of this board to sweep this one under the carpet after the reaction to Suarez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sounds like Drenthe just wants 15 minutes of fame. Why just randomly bring up something now that supposedly happened years ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well, I said that Suárez' excuse was factual back then. He still should have been aware of the culture he's in though, and the fact that he used it so many times against Evra was very odd and made me think he was probably using the cultural misconception as a shield. But yeah, Messi, Heinze and Higuaín too should be aware of how that word is received in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be hypocritical of the majority of this board to sweep this one under the carpet after the reaction to Suarez. But Messi is a nicer person. I'm 100% sure it was done in jest. Unlike that scumbag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 As much as I do love Messi, he has no excuse for saying it, he's lived in Spain since he was 12 so he can't plead ignorance as he's lived there long enough to know the culture. He can't claim that he didn't know or it's a term of affection as he has lived there long enough to know otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't claim that he didn't know or it's a term of affection as he has lived there long enough to know otherwise. Messi has been schooled in Catalan since age 12 and still doesn't speak a word of it, and still stumbles with some Argentine/Peninsular Spanish language differences in interviews. I'll be honest, he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed outside a football pitch. And yes, he should have know, but I really doubt there was any kind of malicious intent.

Foluwashola Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Mr Messi is not a racist. If true, he needs the same treatment as Suarez. Get him banned. Spaniards do love a bit of racism, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Standard RTG response to it. This racism shit is tedious, couldn't give a fuk about it personally. A lot worse things happen than simply using a racial slur. Its not like the old days where black people would get beaten to death or even way far back as slaves. Bury it under the sand and forget about it, will always happen. He's right tbf, this whole lets act all offended because some one called a a black man is outrageous imo, i couldn't give a fuck tbh. I know that makes me sound a proper c unt, but I'll survive. Remaining classy, as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just got asked who I thought no1 was ever. So I say pele and say thats what most people would say. Got given a big talk on maradona. Wherever he went, took a struggling side to the top Could do things no one else could at the time Went to an Arab country to play. And they said his daughters couldnt go due to the law. He said he wouldnt play. So the Arabs bent the rules for him, could anyone else do that? Cant remember exactly what else but it was a pretty decent argument Tbh I didnt have anything to say in reply. I just said pele scored the most goals and generally is the most respected All I have to go on is the odd video which I said straight away He actually said ronaldinho is closer than messi in terms of what they could do with a ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
