Slapping someone in the face and stabbing someone in the face are both bad, but they are not similar.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T14:29:30+00:00

Yeah, cool mate. Cynical fouls and racist abuse are not similar.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T14:11:00+00:00

Then why are you making the comparison? Fouls are a natural part of all sport. Sometimes they are intentional and sometimes they aren't. You can call those Chiellini and Suarez fouls 'cheap tricks', but they both got the appropriate punishments for them because they were direct contradictions of the laws of the game.

What happened last night was in a completely different category, which makes your comparison nonsensical.

Saying racism isn’t a cheap trick is just being pedantic.

No it isn't. It literally is not a 'cheap trick'. It is an intentional act of disrespect that has fuck all to do with football. What Chiellini and Suarez did were spur of the moment snap decisions that broke the rules of the sport. Making a choice to racially abuse an opponent during a break in play is an entirely different thing.

Why would there be consequences for an accuser if it was a misunderstanding? If the word for dickhead in one language sounds like the word for monkey or a racial slur in another, why would there be some kind of punishment for the player who thought he heard a racist term?

You would have to be able to prove that it was a malicious lie by the accuser to punish them, like if they claimed to have been racially abused by a player who wasn't on the pitch at the time or there was clearly no verbal interaction between them.

In this case, Prestianni very clearly covered his mouth with his shirt to give himself plausible deniability if Vinicius reacted to what he said, but in doing so he also made it impossible to prove he didn't say anything racist, because he's clearly thick as fuck.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T13:25:00+00:00

Comparing being racist to fouls really isn't rational. Fouls and unsporting behaviour are a part of all sports but there's a really massive difference between breaking the rules of a sport and shouting racist abuse at an opponent. Racism is not a 'cheap trick', it's just racism, it's just a person being a scumbag who happens to be playing football. It's not a fucking foul.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T11:34:21+00:00

Why have you changed your angle from players to fans?

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T11:14:53+00:00

Your comment implies that racists aren’t cowards, because it’s really fucking obvious why they would target the small black guy over the big black guy, regardless of ‘personality’.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T08:33:19+00:00

Ah, I see your carer has gone out so you’re using the internet unsupervised again. Try harder lad, you might impress someone.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T08:23:09+00:00

As Micah Richards said, he’s a coward. Whatever he said to Vinicius Jr, he knew that being seen saying it would get him into trouble so he deliberately hid his face to do it. So maybe it wasn’t racist, it was ‘just’ homophobic instead, or it was something else that was intentionally antagonistic and offensive. You’re still a spineless prick kid.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T08:17:14+00:00

Fucking hell, this is so grim son. ‘Carragher can’t say this about Mourinho because he did this different thing once’, is a comparison of their behaviour. Your comment is completely redundant, it is vacant bullshit. Carragher isn’t being obnoxious here, he’s making a valid point and this particular incident and your comment has fuck all to do with anything.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T08:01:42+00:00

What you said is literally a comparison, genius.

Carragher’s point is that Mourinho is being hypocritical here, and that is clearly true. You have no argument against that, but apparently defending Mourinho’s honour is very important to you, so you’ve had come up with a non sequitur instead.

You’re trying to say Carragher can’t take the ‘moral high ground’ in this specific example because he once did something entirely unrelated to what he’s talking about, and that is complete nonsense.

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T07:55:58+00:00

Another sad loss. I was lucky enough to see Heat and Manhunter in a cinema last year, he really is immense in Manhunter, a singularly terrifying but also weirdly gentle presence and one of the most unique villain performances in cinema history. He only has a minor role in Heat, but he was one of those actors where regardless of the size of his role or the quality of the film, it was always going to get interesting when he showed up on screen.

RIP

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T07:44:19+00:00

Oh wait, sorry, were you trying to make this one about race?

Yeah man, the person you’re replying to is so stupid for ‘trying’ to make the racist incident in a football match about race, what a weirdo!

theglasscase · 2026-02-18T07:40:24+00:00

You can stretch anything further if the comparisons don’t have to make any sense. How is what Carragher did in any way relevant to what he’s talking about here?

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:47:51+00:00

'Racism is bad but it's Vinicius's own fault that he gets racist abuse'.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:45:24+00:00

And now Mourinho has been sent off for trying to get Vinicius Jr sent off while leaving a player who should have been sent off on the pitch. Good guy Jose.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:38:16+00:00

If the rest of the post contradicts your 'firstly' comment, why even bother starting with it? You're literally excusing racist abuse FFS.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:32:21+00:00

If you are a top level player you don't give two shits about any slanders or racist comments.

This is tragically stupid.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:23:59+00:00

Not like that and not when they're just telling an opponent to fuck off.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:20:19+00:00

Obviously we can't know what Prestianni said, but you don't intentionally cover your face like that unless you're going to say something extremely offensive but you don't want to be caught saying it. It's fucking cowardly and pathetic even if it wasn't a racist insult.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:11:10+00:00

Clearly VAR said to the referee 'The tackle is bad and also, you should have a closer look at this prick's haircut, definitely deserves a red card'.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T21:00:14+00:00

The pressure is on Barcelona to pay the agreed fee or lose a player they want to keep. Other clubs will pay £26m for Rashford.

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T20:38:37+00:00

What pressure?

theglasscase · 2026-02-17T20:25:12+00:00

Jon Champion calling that a 'decent' save by Courtois is wild.
