***Official Football (Soccer) Thread: All leagues and competitions Part 39***

[TokenV]

Apparently a transcript has been translated:

"Roşu tweeted that the translation goes like so: "The black one over there. Go and check who he is. The black one over there, it's not poasible to act like that."

Apparently the Istanbul assistant manager called the refs 'gypsys' because of their Romanian heritage. So why isn't he getting talked about racism?

if that's really what happened can someone please chime in here

no bait, srs question

let's say you're communicating through the headset and you don't know the names of all people involved (ignore the names on the back lol)

you need to make it clear we're talking about the player encircled in yellow



how should you handle this?

[CaliSuperSport]

Barca have declined so hard its tough to see

Ronaldo is turning 36 in a month but is back to scoring over a goal a game, genuinely think he has another 5 years in Europe. I know they were pens last night but his movement, hold up play, passing is absolute top class.

I just watched the highlights. That defense was abysmal.

I've struggled following Barca since lockdown, what happened bros. Also about half of Messi's attempts were straight at Buffon

I don't know about his language but spanish of course can use "negro" as a term of endearment. Because they're just not as SJW crazed as English nations. If so it shouldn't be an issue.

Glad to see Man U heading to the Europa League, where they belong. It would've been a travesty to see ManUre qualifying for the knockout stage over one of the semifinalists from the last CL.

Also how long are the BLM kneeling at the start of the games going on for? The rest of time or what? No I do not condone what Millwall fans did

You should do more than condone it, you should applaud it. BLM is an evil organization representing an evil idea. The Millwall fans are proof the UK population isn't entirely lost.

Looks like Real Madrid will scrape through to the knockout round. Still a terrible group stage performance when you consider the quality of the opposition. RM and Barcelona both look awful. La Liga might belong to Atletico this year.

Gladbach made it thanks to the Inter draw

talk about a great escape lmfao

lol @ Inter and Lukaku

Lukaku does have some great qualities about him, shame he has the first touch of a semi pro centerback wearing timberlands though

yeah, his football qualities aren't even the reason I don't like him lol

I mean I think you say #40 on Villa needs to go...but then I'm probably adding in black just to make it clear

lol, you should make abstraction of the jerseys brah lol

in the case of Basaksehir it were all staff on the bench in winter clothes

so I can somehow understand what happened really wasn't with malicious intent tbh

but you gotta walk on eggshells these days unfortunately

also: now there's also footage where you can clearly hear someone from Basaksehir say that where he's from all Romanians are gypsies (https://twitter.com/Emishor/status/1336658828205699073), if they really wanted to be holier than thou this should also be condemned, for sake of consistency lol

[LukeS1]

If United lose this weekend Ole is gone we think??

[Brad_Pitt]

If United lose this weekend Ole is gone we think??

Journos say so but losing to City is not exactly a bad thing.

Knowing Ole's luck, they win and United are trapped in mediocrity for another year.

him blocking alexis sanchez potential game winning header goal in the 88th minute champs league, edited new vid link lol

LOL at all these ****gits saying the referee was racist, he wasn't. He just tried to solve the issue as quick as possible...the guy who he was trying to book was black so he used the word. He also had the same long winter/pea coat and the name on the back of their jersey wasn't visible. What is he supposed to say? is he supposed to use his height to tell the main referee which one should get the red card?

The guy that looks like he's 5'9". That's him.

The word is actually harmless our language but might upset others considering the stuff that is occurring in the world and how sensitive ****gits are these days. And if that happens a lot of people will label you as a racist and won't even try to see the whole picture, understand the context, meaning of the word and so on.

Look at Tuchel who is labeled as being on the refs side and being a racist just because he was speaking with a player from the opposition and asked him if he heard anything. When the guy said he didn't hear anything, Tuchel told him to calm down and wait until there's more information on the matter. Now Tuchel's a racist. Use your common sense people. There's racism out there and things like this just take the attention away from real problems.

yeah that's why I placed the picture as an example, to make it evident there's no malintent per se to point out skin color if it's the main distinguishing factor

Demba Ba ranting about how you don't say "that white guy".... well in a situation where they are the minority you actually do this

I'll never forget the 96 Olympics, Patrick Stevens made it to the 200m finals and was the only white guy - this was pointed out everywhere lol



also, Christophe Lemaitre: they always point out he's the first WHITE athlete to dive under the 10-second barrier on the 100m

those double standards are really starting to annoy me tbh

[engscott]

Complete double standard like you say when people point out white as the colour. Yet black people will say they are proud they are black/where they're from (which no problem), but don't get offended if we call you by your colour then

[Dontoewsmebro]

Should Ole get the sack if Utd lose today?

Also, not sure how I feel about Arteta it's his first full season so I still think he needs time. He needs at least 2 transfer windows to get the type of players he likes in.

Need to clear a lot of trash too in the squad Mustafi, Sokratis, Xhaka, Kolasinac etc..

Yeah Ole is trash. Spends loads of money and gets all the VAR decisions yet still struggles. I agree on Arteta, his team is so bad compared to Arsenal of old.

[engscott]

As a United fan I want some stability in the manager position. Ole is so hot and cold...if Poch is available stick with him for 5+ years please

Yeah Poch is a great shout I'm surprised no one has hired him yet, but he might just be taking a sabbatical, and waiting for the right opportunity like Man Utd.

Lol I know you're an underdog type of guy Token, but I see these ties pretty straight forward....only "Upset" I could see is probably Atalanta over Real Madrid.


I really like the Sevilla Dortmund tie a really well balanced matchup....What I love about Dortmund is you never know what you're gonna get either an amazing performance or lose 5-1 to Stuttgart lmao.

Haaland will be back though fukin beast.

[khatskevitch]

yeah, his football qualities aren't even the reason I don't like him lol

Still seething at Conte his tactics and his bf Lolkaku.Both years these two bastards lost us the UCL revenues.

Lolkaku is a mental midget.His face tells you he is a deer caught in the headlights when it comes to the big games.Just not a big game player.

I also doubt Conte can win the league.That Juventini blamed Refs and VAR for the exit.He wants Refs to help him win eh.Typical Juventini.Cant even make this chit up anymore.

[LukeS1]

Heres my prediction for TOTY 2020;

Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Mbappe
KDB, Kimmich, Bruno Fernandes
Davies, Ramos, VVD, Trent
Neuer

Honorable mentions; Muller, Alaba, Robertson, Neymar

What do you guys think?

Anybody that wants to claim Bruno is not deserving of TOTY, come debate me

Seems like the prem might be won with 80-85 point this year, nobody looks that good or consistent
