geordie_b Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Saw it at the game today and just now on MOTD. When sibi won the pen he gave him the 'smelly french garlic breath sign'. How is that different to any other racist action like nazi salute or monkey arms? Its a racist gesture and we should complain....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I mentioned this in the Post Match thread... If he wasnt being racist, then i'd like to know why he made them hand actions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Still haven't seen it but are you sure he wasn't making the international gesture for "I'm holding my nose as I'm about to dive/jump into a swimming pool like a girl"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 He's not Emre, so no action will be taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 He's not Emre, so no action will be taken. Nationality isn't the same as race, so no action will be taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koven Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I thought it was insulting but funny. You may find it funny, most normal people wouldn't. I'm sure Sib didn't find it funny at all. If anyone knows of a complaint procedure i'd gladly help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gemmill Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 This thread is fucking hilarious. The "smelly french garlic breath" sign ffs. OMG GET HIM ON AN FA CHARGE!!!111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Its is funny but I suppose if they are to keep it even its just the same as doing a hitler salute to a German player, no one will get away with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Can someone please explain how this sign works and how garlic comes into it? Did Filan spell out garlic with his hands before holding his nose or did he just do a smelly breath thing when Sib was in his face but because Sib is french people are ASSUMING it must be to do with garlic?

Kitman Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I was disappointed Sib didn't retaliate with a Marcel Marceau style mime of a roast beef being put into the oven. No imagination these players, eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stormrider Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Just out of curiosity.... would lifting your shorts up in a kilt-ish manner be considered racism to scots? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
