It's unbelievable that some countries still have this mentality

 

[avonspurs]

be interesting to see if those individuals and organisations that were so quick to jump on the anti "Yid Army" bandwagon will have much to say this time.

Not sure about this. I feel like this is offensive but im not sure how or on what level. Strange.
Is it anti jew? Well no, not really. It says only jews and pussies, implying what? Perhaps that spurs are full of jews and pussies? Is that anti Jew? Again not sure.
Is the implication that being a jew is bad? Is calling someone a jew derogatory? What about Only christians and pussies, that that give it a different perspective or more clarity? Is it that jews are equated with pussies? I dont think this is as clear cut as other incidents.

Is this really the level at which we become outraged and start demanding clubs be banned from competitions? The hissing of some fans in this country is far more offensive IMO.

Yes, we know that racist asswipes exist all across Europe and Partizan is not immune to this scourge. However, Poch has more pressing issues he should be concerned with: starting with Kane (who I'm especially miffed with), Townsend and Paulinho. As far as Davies is concerned, Biff couldn't have said it better... 'Since you're new here, I'm gonna cut you a break'...

Paulinho is playing very poorly, in not sure how he influences games and last night I thought Bentlab was carrying him. He hasn't been in the squad and last nights efforts won't change that.

I wonder.....if we won the match would this even be an issue?

Baring in mind his missed pre-season it will probably take him longer to adjust to our new style. Hopefully we'll see the best of him under Poch. In fact the only time I recall being amazed by Pauly was that home game against Stoke last season, he was magical, until Charlie Adams injured him for about a month...

There's a whole other thread on this. Take a look.

I suppose complaining about a banner takes away from talking about how the team played.
