Any opinions on the Vinicius out burst chasing after the Referee? ⚒⚒⚒⚒

Seems to me it’s always him, is it possible that the guy instigates stuff and brings it on himself, don’t get me wrong if it is indeed a racial slur then I’m 1000% against it, but let’s be real he’s not the money honest player and he has some massively rubbishhouse tactics for time wasting and stuff.

Agree Whitby, all childish imo, what did we endure at school, 4 eyes, fatty, skinny etc😂😂I am white so not the same obviously, but grow up chaps, opponents will do it all the more seeing what big babies you are if you react that way! apologies if I have offended anybody

He has a platform which maybe others don't and he's willing to push for change which is admirable. Maybe the fact that it interrupts the game spoils the spectacle but don't blame him for that, blame the racist.


Have no problem with him being criticised for the Bruno type antics but that is as common in elite level players as white people not understanding the gravity of targeting someone for the colour of their skin.

I don’t want to get drawn into the actual incident as I didn’t see it. And maybe he does invite trouble, I don’t know enough about him. But IMO these sort of things are far worse in southern and Eastern Europe than in Northern and Western Europe. I remember going to games in the 70s where hearing monkey noises and players being openly called black @@@@@ was not uncommon . I think the attitude on the pitch can lead back to the fans and I wouldn’t want to see that return if it did I would stop going.

Because I thought it was horrible then as now.
I went to an event organised by ‘the West Ham way’ a few years back and the guest speaker was Anton Ferdinand and he was answering questions and he was asked about the John Terry incident when playing for QPR and you could see it deeply upset him as he was virtually in tears and maybe as a white person i don’t understand how no matter what you do you will only be defined by the colour of your skin.

Any old Irish/ Hammer-D, you both have very good points and I was being short sighted and very ignorant of the situation, so I really apologise to people I may have offended!
I have just got so angry over the years with players that I feel are cheating in so many situations on the field of play in one way or another! The officials have a difficult enough job to do as it is? I still don’t think there’s anything wrong in words, it’s banter in my view, even if it’s offensive to somebody, laugh at them and shrug it off, they will soon get fed up with doing it? ⚒⚒⚒

Hi Chelmsford you have not offended me in the slightest mate. I’m a red-head and ginger-ism is the only ism still legal 🤣 so it’s all water off a ducks back to me. I was just trying to see why it might be felt by someone else (which is tricky) I think if you had a fat black bloke who wears glasses he wouldn’t be called 4 eyes or fatty he would have something else thrown at him, and it probably drags you down.

Hammer-D, cheers mate👍Well my Brother was a bright Ginge when younger (92 now🙈) but well toned down now, or what he has left😂

If we go by form; the quarter finals will be: ourselves, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Leeds, Sunderland, Fulham. If we get a home draw, assuming we beat Brentford, I don't fear anyone apart from City or Arsenal.

Brentford will be hard to beat, don’t believe otherwise

All eyes on Macclesfield tonight. If they win they are coming to the London Stadium lol 😆 😂 Wrexham v Chelsea is a cracker
