The College Dropout Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I thought that was just a N-O conspiracy theory according to some on here. Clear as day, particularly during the World Cup. I’ve mentioned this before on here. It’s worst for dark skin African players. Even world class ones like Eto’o, Yaya Toure or even Pogba. There’s not a pass KDB or Silva can make that Pogba can’t but Pogba is oft labelled a ‘great athlete’ without true appreciation for his technical ability which is legitimately second to none.

KDB and Silva (to a lesser extent) ARE better passers of the ball than Pogba. He is however a very good passer of the ball but it always seems to be commented on so not sure you’ve picked a good comparison. KDB is the best passer of a ball I’ve seen since Zico.

Nothing to do with race but it is a fundamental biological truth that people of certain descents can be more athletic than others. Slow/Fast muscle fibre ratios dictated by genetics etc. A lot of this can be overcome in terms of footballers to a degree, but there will always be differences however minor at the top end.

Disco Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Its mad how strong and powerful KDB is now, would definitely be commented on more if he was black There was someone he absolutely bulldozed in the first half onslaught to win the ball back (discount if it was Miggy).

gjohnson Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 And ginger. And there's the difference. KDB has a similar size and body shape to Colback. One clearly works massively hard in training on technique and in gym for strength and power, while the other get on with being a 'good lad' and runs about hard in 5 a-side training matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi is better Messi is just better at everything than anyone else, it isn't fair Xavi was better as well. De Bruyne isn't far off though, he is probably my favourite player around at the moment. Love watching him play, he is always three steps ahead of his opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because he doesn't spend half his time on the floor having tried and failed to put in a tackle where the other player has made him look like a total gimp and left him on his backside.

TRon Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Wasn't that long ago when we used to have posters describing certain players as having a touch like a rapist. No prizes for guessing which ones usually got labelled with that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Mental the age of that kid, from Birmingham as well. Villa supporter presumably? Online abuse, whether racist, sexual or paedos would all but stop if online anonymity wasn’t a thing. If you had to sign up for the likes of twitter or whatever with a national id, they would think twice surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 That's just obviously not true though. This kid today wasn't anonymous for a kick off. The worst stuff you see is on Facebook where everybody has their real name proudly next to the picture of their grandkids with a poppy over the top.
