Roma are going to love Chris Smalling on a permanent basis. VAR awarded a penalty 2 minutes after a clear Smalling handball in the box. He literally swings an arm and swats the ball away lol.

Surprised knowing Zlatan that he hasn't said anything at all about the matter.

He puts it where he wants.

Liverpool have 6 of the top 20 which is ridiculously stupid. And I am a Liverpool fan

We're the best team in the world so makes sense to me.

Your top ten would be all Liverpool players tho.

You just know that Liverpool’s fans are going to boycott FIFA.

The investigation into the alleged racist chanting at Spurs has been closed as no evidence could be found. Not good from Rudiger. I wonder what made him want to try and tarnish Chelsea’s most hated London rivals that way?


Met Police close case into alleged racist abuse suffered by Rudiger

No evidence to corroborate or contradict the accusation.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Finding no evidence contradicts his accusation does it not? Only Rudiger will know if it was done out of malicious intent or not I guess.

 

[chef]

Yep, he was either racially abused or misheard while copping other abuse.

 

[moomba]

No.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Well hopefully Rutger comes out and apologises and we can all move on

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Second time he’s done this and it has been proven a baseless allegation chef so you do have to start wondering now. Our club is clearly owed an apology, if not from the player himself then certainly from the media and the like who all assumed us guilty from the start

Fan award. As worthy as winning big brother

He was either racially abused or misheard while copping some other sort of abuse and there i no evidence to corroborate or contradict the accusation.

Haha I read that article, utter horseshit. What about the reputation of clubs and fans when these accusations are proved to be false, are we just going to forget about them in the meantime? Load of social justice codswallop that article is

I think Spurs statement was very good. Fully supporting Rudiger, but recognising that there was no evidence either way. They're not calling for apologies, and nor should they.

I don't think Spurs reputation has suffered too much, in any case I think the tribalism has got to be removed from the debate.

A Spurs fan racially abusing a player shouldn't reflect on Spurs or their supporters. It should reflect on the people involved. And it shouldnt be considered a Spurs problem, it's a football problem and a societal problem.
