CJGJ Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29263340 Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said the anti-Semitic banner displayed by Partizan Belgrade fans during their Europa League tie was unacceptable. The banner was an imitation of the logo from BBC comedy show Only Fools and Horses with racist words written on it. Pochettino said: "This is a shame, very disrespectful and unacceptable. The club is aware but I did not see it." The banner was on show during the 0-0 draw and European football's governing body is investigating. Warning: There is a picture towards the bottom of this story containing words which some readers may find offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayfield Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Horrendous stuff. Eastern Europe and the Balkans is getting to be the most common offenders of this stuff in football of late. Throw them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Gin Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What race is that being racist against? Not condoning the sign, which is disgusting, but surely it's bigoted rather than racist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboozy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 eufa will do a gfa and lift up the corner of an already very bumpy carpet, and sweep this odious stuff under it, while having famous players on tv saying no to this type of hatred/ignorance.

RussAsia Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 When I read the story about the ultra offensive flag I have to be honest I was expecting much worse.. Spurs were a Jewish club and their own fans call them Y*** in their songs (surely Y** is a worse word than Jew).. Is it the word ******* that everyone is upset about.. Or is there another flag that i've missed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all the Eastern Europeans I've met and worked with (generally nice people) are a bit anti Semitic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdriejambo3 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Wasn't horrendously bad, I guess the word Jew is unacceptable to use now, if they had been playing Chelsea and had a flag that said only Christians and a******* would anybody have cared.

moogsy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Are people being deliberately obtuse by not recognising that Jewishness is seen as more than a religion in the eyes of these people? I wonder if Hitler would have spared Jews from the concentration camps if they had just converted to Christianity? Neo Nazis like these Partizan fans view Jews as a race/ethnicity and should be rightly fined for the racist banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
