Good on Yorke for confronting the b*****d to be honest.
And for whoever it was to say "Yorke could've just gone up the other end to train" - what?!
Why should he have?

And besides - that's not going to make the chanting of the rest of the crowd go away ffs.

And indeed - it boils down to the "that means the racists win" thing. It's the equivalent of players walking off the pitch (which I, incidentally, think they should. The players are there to do their job and to entertain. How anyone can criticise them for leaving the field of play when they're being subjected to neanderthalic verbal abuse by these yobs is beyond me).

The guys who were clearly seen on TV should get lifelong bans and not be allowed to travel to see their country play abroad (like we've seen numerous times in the past, particularly Euro 04).
Without a doubt.

It's amazing how that single reporter asking Aragones about his racist comments towards Henry et al have sparked off this massive war.

But the Blackburn incident was a few fans, Spain was hundreds, maybe thousands.

started off as the usual, then turned into monkey impressions with his body and monkey chanting. He admitted it himself in court.

From what I saw it was "ya fat b*stard." What was the racism? Anyone got a video of it?

Yeah, Roque Junior was at the brunt of it for Leverkusen yet we still haven't seen proper action taking by the authorities.

Its a real shame for abusing a single player over something he cant change.
