Guest bimpy474 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Probably why the sub was subbed again? Injured i think, it was why he played the ball out instead of clearing it up the line when he time to. Man City just didn't have the sub ready when he kicked it out.

Obviously there shouldn't have been a reaction anyway, but I'm just wondering what the background is, if anyone knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Saw this booting off from our seats. Kolarov was warming up then a dude in the front row started going mental, standing up and having a massive go at kolarov, then called the steward over who then spoke to kolarov. No idea what was said cos we sit under the boxes, but the bloke was obviously not happy with kolarov Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LukeT Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The Albanian lads are there quite often apparently. From someone who sits a few rows behind, Kolarov saw the flag, started shouting at them and there was a bit back and forth in either Albanian or Serbian. When asked what was going on they say he called them 'sons of whores' and 'gypsies'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/dec/17/zenit-st-petersburg-fan-group Zenit St Petersburg fan group warns against buying black or gay players The largest fan group of Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg has demanded the club refrain from buying black and gay players. "We're not racists but we see the absence of black players at Zenit as an important tradition," Zenit fan club Landscrona said in a letter, called the "Selection 12 manifesto", posted on its website on Monday. "It would allow Zenit to maintain the national identity of the club, which is the symbol of St Petersburg." Zenit have been the only top club in Russia to have never signed an African player while the northern city of St Petersburg is known to have a strong right-wing nationalist influence. The fans said they want more home-grown or European players in the team. "We only want players from other brotherly Slav nations, such as Ukraine and Belarus as well as from the Baltic states and Scandinavia. We have the same mentality and historical and cultural background as these nations," the letter said. They also expressed their opposition to having "sexual minorities" in the team. Several prominent black players have turned down lucrative offers from the wealthy club over the past 12 months after receiving death threats from Zenit fans. A Zenit spokesman said on Monday the club would not comment on the fans' letter. The former Zenit and Russia striker Alexander Panov said the fans have no right to influence the club's selection policy. "If we don't have enough good players from St Petersburg, then what should the club do?" he said. "All clubs around the world have black players. If they are absent from Zenit – it's Zenit's problem. I don't think fans should demand the club buy or don't buy certain players. The fans have the right to go to the stadium or stay home." Zenit have been in turmoil for the past few months with several senior players unhappy after the wealthy club splashed out more than £60m on the Brazil forward Hulk and Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel just before the transfer deadline. Zenit demoted the Russia captain Igor Denisov to the reserve team in September after he refused to play, issuing an ultimatum to renegotiate his contract in line with what Hulk was making. Denisov was later allowed to rejoin the first team after making an apology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 http://www.millwallfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-11th-feb-651638.aspx Millwall 'deeply shocked and appalled' Everyone at Millwall Football Club is deeply shocked and appalled by the footage shown on Sky Sports News Special Report on Monday evening. As a club Millwall has been at the forefront of the battle to eradicate racism from football, being the first in the country to introduce an Anti-Racism Trust, and in spite of the incidents shown in this programme, tremendous strides have been made. However, it’s a sad fact that a small minority of people in society still hold racist views and some individuals bring them into football stadiums throughout the country. We firmly believe that football itself is not the problem, but rather football is committed to being part of the solution. At Millwall we operate a zero tolerance policy in which we target, arrest and ban any fan identified displaying racist or abusive behaviour. In relation to the Leeds United match featured in the Sky programme, we became aware of allegations made initially via Twitter which were picked up elsewhere within minutes of the match ending. We immediately launched an investigation but there were no reports from officials, police, stewards or media at the ground, including Sky TV who broadcast the game live, to substantiate the allegations at the time. We spoke in person to the Leeds United player in question and asked him if he was aware of being subjected to any racial abuse. He told us this had not been the case and, on that basis, we therefore had nothing to substantiate allegations of racial abuse and thus refuted them. Now that this new evidence has come to light, Millwall FC has requested that Sky make all footage available to the Police, which they have agreed to do. We will assist in identifying the individuals concerned with a view to the strongest possible action being taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Some proper racism from our fans at Tottenham, was confined to a few idiots TBF. Yeah - there was one bloke behind me (either simple or pissed or a combination of both) who sporadically threw out the odd racist comment. I think he then tried to even up the racism count by referring to Phil Dowd as a 'fat white c###'. I know I shouldn't have, but I actually found that strangely amusing.
