Son racially abused

It's pretty sad that even with an issue as serious as racism that needs calling out in no ambiguous terms, some people still seem more interested in attaching the racist label to the fans of other clubs rather than focusing on the real issue that needs dealing with.

Totally agree. The ridiculous Solkjaer "I would starve Son" comments are a prime example of the attitude that has built up WITHIN football, where the ethos of every club is to cheat whenever possible to get any kind of advantage, BUT lough and behold if someone does it to us.
For this guy, who manages one of the primary players of the cheat game, has the hypocritical cheek to come out with such a statement about a fellow professional.
Does he not realise the implications of his stupid comments ? No, because he is blinded by the "win at all costs" mentality that is football.
Frankly, people get prosecuted for giving out less offensive public abuse,. Yet the FA will, of course sit back and do nothing. And he BBC, who love to tick as many PC boxes as possible, go out and encourage it by writing an articular that sides with Ole and their beloved Utd.
The whole think stinks.

Levy racially abused

Gollum is nothing but a classless gobshiete, with ridiculous talk of letting children go hungry when he has one of his own divers (Rashford) campaigning for the exact opposite.

McTominay threw his hand towards Son`s face, it does not matter how much contact there was as it was a clearly intentional movement of hand to face, he should have been given a second yellow card and sent off, Erik Lamela was sent off for less against Woolwich.

The problem is, there are countless agenda driven mugs infesting the media such as Gary Neville for example, who set the narrative with their comments, and then everybody else goes along with it.

Penited have some of the biggest cheats in the PL and yet it never gets a second mention, funny that.

Astounded to see some Spurs fans here who are totally indifferent to the fact that one of their players has been subjected to vile racist abuse.

For me, relative to that, the incident that led to the goal being disallowed is irrelevant. At half-time yesterday I was furious with Son and genuinely believed the ref had been conned. At full time I agreed with Solskjaer. With a bit of hindsight, I acknowledge it's hypocritical, because players representing my team do the same thing, and I'd have felt relieved (if also a bit sheepish) if we'd avoided conceding in the same circumstances.

But in the light of Son getting racially abused last night, NONE OF THE ABOVE MATTERS. Some things are more important than these footballing rivalries, and as far as I'm concerned, when there is racism flying around, there are only two tribes, Son Heung-Min is one of ours, and the racist idiots are out there on their own.

Really disappointing that there are people on this forum who aren't content to simply line up behind common decency.

people in woke britain seem far less concerned with an easi asian receiving racial abuse than a black

havent got the slavery and discrimination thing to make them go all defensive about

i've heard even woke people suddenly get racist as fack when it comes to talking about gypsies for example ?

alot of it really is virtual signalling ....look at me, and how racially aware i am, blah , blah , blah

Exactly.

You see a lot of players clutching their faces after minimal contact....on this occassion i actually thought it looked quite painful to Son as his hand really did lash back (accidentally) into his face. Admittedly Not enough to stay down for so long. And you also have to remember that that incident happened in the build up to the goal. Son had no idea Utd would score from it so it was simply standard exaggeration performed by almost every player who felt any sort of contact. The fact a goal came from it which was subsequently chalked off really has little to do with Son's actions.

If Ole wants to start preaching then he is just a Class A hypocrite, with his players exaggerating minimal contact far more frequently. Its a sad state of the modern game but to try and claim some moral high ground makes him a deluded gobsheeite idiot.

- Son exaggerated contact and it resulted in United controversially having a goal chalked off.
- Solskjaer was angry about it, which is hypocritical because United players do the same.
- Spurs fans are angry about the hypocrisy. But that's also hypocritical, because Mourinho has made a zillion hypocritical comments over the years. And every Spurs fan (and, yes, every United fan) has been furious about opposing players getting away with what they perceived as cheating, while managing to not summon the same indignation when it benefits their own team.
- So we're ALL hypocrites.

But what I don't understand is how anyone can burn with moral indignation about the original incident or the criticism thereof, nearly 24 hours later, while registering no emotion at the fact that one of your players got racially abused. Don't you feel some kind of disconnect between your sense of occupying the moral high ground on the topic of "how we talk about football incidents" on one hand, and total indifference toward a real-life moral issue on the other?
