They do look awfully similar to be fair. I've confused one with the other quite a few times (and I'm black !)
Unbelievable. He was asked who scored when he's providing a live update and he said he couldn't tell which player it was- hardly that bad when he's on live TV and doesn't have a few seconds to see it properly.
Marcelino, I remember people use to say the same about Duff and Gudjohnsen too.
It's unbelievable how anyone can think that was a racist comment.

Ridiculous
Just to show they are doing something about racism yet so feck all
Yeah, it's PC madness like this that undermines real racism. To me real racism is treating someone differently because of their ethnicity or country of origin; simply mixing up two people in terms of identity is ludicrous.
I actually watched him issue an ridiculous refutation for a nonsense twitter storm on sky news. Was all quite ridiculous
People are so quick to be offended nowadays it's sad really.
I was at the game and I couldn't tell who scored either
It wasnt until a few weeks into the season I even realised city had two players with such similar names....

I'm so racist. ...
They do look similar in the face, whats the ovsession with colour on this country?
Have people actually been offended or are a load of people just assuming some must have been?
Why wasn't the ref that send ox off instead of gibbs charged with racism then!
I usually dislike using the term PC as it allows people to justify their casual racism, but this seems like a massive overreaction, albeit,all i've heard of it is in this thread.

If he were to apologise he should apologise for not being able to do his job properly but this is Soccer Saturday we are talking about. Its all part of the entertainment when they feck up like this

Exactly, they look quite similar. Easy to get them mixed up.
Wtf is wrong with the world these days ??
People will be afraid to speak in the future for fear of being branded a racist or something else if we keep going down this strange road.
I don't know who he is but I was watching Chelsea on Tv a few weeks back and confused Cahill, Terry and Azpilicueta a number of times from my TV angle. Am I a racist too?
