Very interesting seeing how the English FA has tried to extricate itself from the mess created by the Linesmen. Everybody with two eyes, except the Xenophobic and racist idiots at the English FA saw that the Linesman made a mistake in sending Emmanuel Adebayor off. Well for those who are in the dark as to what we are talking about, the Carling Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea descended into a 20 man brawl after an altercation between John Obi Mikel and Kolo Toure.At the end of this 20 man brawl, 3 players, Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Adebayor and John Obi Mikel were sent off. We don’t have any problems with erring players been sent off, but what we have problems with is the open display of racism. After a 20 man brawl, why is that all the players sent off were Black Africans? The lines man in explaining the glaring mistake of sending Adebayo off, claimed he (Adebayor) was acting in an “aggressive manner” and he aimed a punch at Frank Lampard!
Pray tell us, what the hell does acting in “aggressive” manner mean? Was his behaviour any less threatening than that of Frank Lampard or a Wayne Rooney? The Linesman is simply exhibiting the innate racism in the English game and society as a whole, Black people are always wrongly perceived as aggressive. If it were Wayne Rooney We can bet you that nothing would have been done, commentators will claim he is showing “passion” But if it is an Adebayor, Toure or Essien, they will say he “out of order” or overtly aggressive! . Eboue was the person that struck (if you can call it that) Wayne Bridge but because the racist Linesman could not tell one Black African from the other, he charged Adebayo!
It is shameful that the FA instead of admitting the mistake are closing ranks and protecting their own. We can understand Arsene Wengers frustration, he being a French man has been a victim of xenophobia, so when he says Arsenal are being treated unfairly, what he is really saying is that Arsenal are victims of racism and xenophobia.
