So the Spanish terraces are one racist chump lighter, due to punishment from the club, not UEFA or the Spanish FA. I guess it's a start, only several million to go.

Imagine if this had happened over here though - the papers would've run with it for days, there would be public enquiries, the FA would be wanting to get involved, UEFA and FIFA would be discussing sanctions - happens in Spain and it's left to be dealt with in house and quietly done.

We continue to suffer the fallout of the 80's when countries like Spain, Turkey & Italy have fans openly giving far right salutes, holding up banners with bigoted messages on, stalking the streets looking for the away fans and all they get is a roll of the eyes from UEFA and told to sort it out.

Suarez posting this picture now makes a mockery of what the message these guys are trying to convey. You're a racist, simple as that, you are not a reformed character, anybody that repeatedly said what he said is clearly a racist scumbag. Can't wait until the day he packs his bags and pisses off for good.

Maybe UEFA will turn to the Polish for ideas on crowd control - they don't cock about;

Alves later credited the banana with giving him the energy to help Barca beat Villarreal

That is the flare igniting the propellant from the mace spray. An unintended, yet very effective, deterrent.

Turns out the banana eating incident was pre-meditated, some anti-racist group made an agreement with Neymar and Alves that whoever had a banana thrown at them next would eat it and then they'd launch the campaign. Good idea, but I thought he came up with it on the spot

A member of an anti-racist group threw a banana at Alves?

What a racist hypocrite.

Well actually, that's the only part that wasn't set up. They just assumed it would happen again sooner or later

Are you fucking serious? People are so fucking desperate to prove a point that they'll stage a racist event in order to prove the point that ... err .. What? Exactly?

Just. What??

Edit: ignore me. Just read up ok context & see that the reaction was planned but the event itself wasn't staged
