Kompressor Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 To be honest you'd get this same kinda treatment in certain pubs/bars in England as well there are racists in every country best thing to do is not play international football if you want to avoid such bigotryor just live with it who knows in 10-15 years this guy might be seen as a trailblazer for the minorities in Italy just like players like John Barnes were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Di Gradi Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 roma & lazio are known for having racist fans though.Balotelli can finish well, it's ashame.... hope he can just be the bigger man and just carry on to excel amongst the bullshit.

Why would you choose to play for some not as good just because a few set idiots droped racist bars.If politics aint involved and balotelli keeps getting better with age he will be starting 11 in italian squad *or at least make bench*.

Kompressor Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I dont think he was doing that everyone see's that certain european countries are about 10-15 years behind England in social progress.so if the lad keeps his head up and overcomes it in future years there could be a lot more black players who are accepted fully just like what happened over here after a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Medic Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 FAO: Medic...How good is Dembele?Moussa Dembele wants to leave AZ Alkmaar, according to his agent.The 21-year-old Belgium forward has attracted the attention of some top clubs including the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal.But the player is waiting for a club to firm up their interest before he makes a decision."Moussa has said that he is open to a transfer to another club," his agent Patrick Vervoort told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad."At the moment he really thinks that he will leave AZ. But we have to wait and see which interest becomes concrete and if a club call AZ."Moussa has not talked about a preference for a certain league."Dembele, who joined AZ in summer 2006, previously had spells at Dutch rivals Willem II and Germinal Beerschot in his homeland. Dembele is a magician. Knew he would be leaving after the season he had, would of been good of him to stay another year for the CL but its understandable he wants to move on. Would be amazing to have him at Arsenal but we already have his positions covered. Juve is the most likely destination for now. No less than 20m euros, this is the stance the chairman is taking.

BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Credit to him for what not hyping to a bunch of goons known for their reputation for stabbing people i see what your saying and to a certain point agree but really he didn't have much choice in the mattersmhYour lost son. The credit is due to him for not reacting to racial abuse by 'throwing his toys out the pram' and saying he doesnt want to play for italy again or any of that nonsense.Being abused by people who are supposed to be SUPPORTING you/your country (for your skin colour!! not even for bad performances) and you rise above it to do the best for your country.... If you dont think that deserves credit then SNM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJibbles Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Inter Milan have denied they have reached an agreement with Barcelona over the transfer of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Catalan giants.Speculation has been rife that Ibrahimovic is set to move to the Nou Camp this summer and increased still further following a dinner between Inter president Massimo Moratti and Barca supremo Joan Laporta last week.Reports on Wednesday suggested the two clubs have struck a deal over the 27-year-old, something the Nerazzurri have strenuously denied."During the transfer window, a headline in a newspaper is enough to transform groundless rumours into truth," read a statement on the club website."This is what has happened today after the article published in Barcelona newspaper El Mundo Deportivo about a presumed deal between FC Internazionale and the Catalan club."Besides being completely unfounded, the presumed deal seems remote from any logic, even to the eyes of neutral observers. The report is, therefore, groundless."According to El Mundo Deportivo, Inter had accepted an offer of 10 million euros plus Samuel Eto'o, 30 million less than they reportedly wanted for the Sweden striker.Ibrahimovic recently entered the club history books after becoming the first Inter player in 20 years to win the capocannoniere trophy as the leading goalscorer in Italy's top flight with 25 goals.
