Mendy is a crap defender and cost City a goal. Are you saying City fans cannot criticise a player just because of his race?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats not what Im saying.I just think white players get more symapthy than black players
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wayne Rooney probably got more stick in the media than any other player I’ve ever seen in this country. Your points are a load of bollox imo

Never really went away, people just got more devious and ‘clever’ about it.
English football for me has done a fantastic job of trying to fight the good fight.
But I maintain, this isn’t a football problem.
Football can be the great leader in tackling/ highlighting the issue, but it isn’t for them to solve.
You can’t help the idiots that want to see the world burn. some do It just for clout chasing clicks views and giggles.
But then you’ve got the unconscious/ casual racism.
Most of these folk maybe are good people, but are just not aware, and they are the ones that can be educated.

Beckham and Taylor got abuse because they were the easy scapegoats for our failure and going out of tournaments. The abuse many black players get are often based on nothing other than being black.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So say a black manager got the England job and failed to negotiate a pretty easy group and then came in for horrendous stuck in the media on a daily basis with pictures of his head as a vegetable etc, you would say there was an element of racism on account of him being black?
I find that very hard to believe

Bobby

No I agree that would probably happen, I’m just pointing out that the examples of Beckham and Taylor were based on them being made easy scapegoats, one for kicking Simeone and the other for saying silly/funny stuff on the touchline. Non white people get a far harder ride, it’s not even debatable.

There are some truths in the OP but I will refrain from agreeing with it entirely.

Sterling already proved that the media is racist in its reporting and the general perspective on players is a bit racist.

The OP is saying that this is even worse for foreign black players.

Don't we/the media criticise foreign players more than our own, regardless of colour?

The OP is a great example of this. Sterling gets two goals, hits the bar right at the death, nearly making it a hat trick, runs his socks off the whole game up front on his own helping out in defence and the OP blames him for City losing the game. They were down to ten men for 80 minutes and still nearly got a result due to Sterlings goals for crying out loud.

Definitely. There are plenty of examples of foreign players being treated badly. I was actually zooming in on the black ones

Saying 2 goals is generous. The first is a poor penalty even his manager asked for him to be changed as the taker. The second one is brilliant. He lost possession countless times and crucially for the chance that led to the first goal.

I get it that Sterling has enough credit in the bank given his performances but he was culpable in my opinion as was Ederson for getting sent off.

Its possible for a player to have a 5 star game and still cost his team though.

He did lose it in midfield in a quite pathetic manner. City players were not trady for that. The player he lost it to played it to Traore whose third touch was a shot very very few keepers would save.

The OP does go overboard in placing all the blame on Sterling, that's ridiculous, but its not the same thing because we know his reasons aren't racist, he's doing it to stress his point, unwisely.

I admit it may look like an attack on sterling but its noi. I think the crucial phase of the game after the Ederson red card is the concession of the first goal by city and Raheem was culpable.

Anyway the point of the article is not too point the finger at raheem but just to highlight other things

Yes, it's possible but not something I've ever seen before. I mean you'd have to be at fault for three goals for it to be the case, considering you've scored two and that's without taking into consideration the guy played up front on his own, out of position, for 80 minutes, ran his socks off, helped out in defence and was very unlucky not to score a hattrick, when his freekick hit the bar at the end.

To say Sterling cost them the game when he was their best player and sole reason they were even in the game is downright ridiculous and using the OP's stupid logic, racist.

`I find Neville's assessment of him fair most of the time. He calls him our best player. Souness is another gravy. I also once stupidly got myself blaming Pogba for things the media were selling us. It hit the lad hardly ever says anything wrong, his agent we all know he is an imbecile.

With Pogba, it starts with his lazy attitude, not putting in the effort, losing the ball and not fighting to win it back and generally not living up to his pricetag and huge expectations when he came in.

When we start blaming skin colour on why players are criticised, despite players of all colours being criticised, then we're taking away from actual racism, diluting it and therefore people become less interested in standing up against it.

Mendy is a crap defender. Not because he is black or because he is French, but because he cannot defend.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We're also ignoring the fact he was fouled and before anybody blames him not getting the foul because of his skin colour, the player who fouled him is also black. He had two easy options and he choose the third wrong option. He could have went down, like you have to do nowadays to get a freekick or he could have got rid of it. So you can understand why he takes the majority of the blame.

Sterling received plenty of unwarranted sh-t from the media, it isn’t just foreign back players.

There’s plenty of racism in this country at the moment sadly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It worse for the foreign black players as compared to the english ones.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only black foreign player who I see get criticised from every angle in the media is Pogba
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's never to do wit racism, its to do with his atrorcious form and attitude.
