Sounds plausibleYes looking at the right person. It could just as easily be “You fecking parked your black car in my space”.
I see the black Guy now, I was looking behind Blue coat man.

A made the point yesterday in the match thread but imagine being a grown man probably with a family and a decent job and losing all control of yourself because a footballer who doesn’t know you from Adam collects a football to take a corner which you know is kinda what you’re paying to see unless I’m missing something. Embarrassing is not the word really, it’s utterly bizarre and pathetic
I guess you havent seen all the shit hes been getting from the media since leaving liverpool?Am I missing something here?
Sterling gets abused, quite probably racially, by Chelsea fans and he’s blaming the media?
How does that work?
I have indeed, not sure how this equates to the media stirring up race hate though.I guess you havent seen all the shit hes been getting from the media since leaving liverpool?
Go further back though. Kieron Dyer and JJ both got a rough time from the media despite being fundamentally decent lads. Think of the grief Defoe got when he left West Ham. Rooney and Wilshere, for counter-example, started getting shit once they actually started doing stupid stuff.I have indeed, not sure how this equates to the media stirring up race hate though.
There are plenty of White players who have got pelters off the media in the past, so it’s not as though they specifically target black players is it?
Don’t get me wrong, I detest the media as they look to build you up just so the fall is harder, but I’m not buying this assertion that their reporting fuels racist behaviour. Has he been racially abused by supporters of other clubs?
He makes the case for institutional racism, that allows people to think its ok.I have indeed, not sure how this equates to the media stirring up race hate though.

The gist of his point - two players, one white, one black, each buy a house for their mother. The press treats them differently.
The England international screen-grabbed a story that had appeared on MailOnline last January about his club-mate, Tosin Adarabioyo, under the headline: ‘Young Manchester City footballer, 20, on £25,000 a week splashes out on mansion on market for £2.25m despite having never started a Premier League match’. He went on to reference another story from October about City’s teenage midfielder, Phil Foden, buying a house which had carried the headline: ‘Foden buys new £2m home for his mum’.
So, while it may be subconscious, when the mainstream media treat similar people differently it filters down into everyday life - where people think its ok to treat people differently - just based on the color of their skin, or their nationality, or their religion.

Kieran Dyer was far from a "fundamentally decent lad". He was an absolute scumbag.
Man, those newspapers did a job on you
Did he sleep with your missus?Hang on a minute. I'm not criticising sterling, I completely agree with him. It's just the idea suggested by a poster on here that Kieran Dier was a good guy that I disagree with. Nothing to do with newspapers in his case cos he genuinely is a scumbag.
