It is yeah. It's a really bad photo tbh, he doesn't look like that at all

Why are you saying yes? That is not a picture of today's game he got subbed off did they give him a trophy for getting subsituted?!

Because it's on Shahktars website as a picture from today's game. It was probably a trophy for player of the month or something given to him before the match started

Okay!!! Well that picture at Old Trafford obviously wasn't him them. he must have been somewhere else.
 
So was he in the press box or not? If not then this is a new low for sports journalism in England.

I think he was there. Just what we thought was him from a picture someone blew out of thin air... wasn't

However doesn't mean he wasn't there.
 
Someone just asked the United journalist who originally tweeted that Costa was in the directors' box.

ekswyzed: @stevebartram1 Is the guy in white in that photo the one who you think is Douglas Costa?

stevebartram1: @ekswyzed Indeed, though Douglas Costa disagrees! Any idea who else it could be?

ekswyzed: @stevebartram1 No. But I don't think it's Costa. Not enough hair. Wish it was. This is Costa from today: http://tinyurl.com/5u5hyc6
 
:lol: so all this over nothing, we can get back to the real world now.
 
:lol: Excellent!
Really shows the tabloids up, considering all the exclusives they suddenly had.
 
I thought it was bollocks. The perils of trusting some Twitter twat desperate to make a story...

Or maybe it's a parting gift? ;)

Well that's easy to say now, since you were offline last night - probably due to obsessively following stevebartram1's Twitter.
 
Mark Ogden was also the journo who announced on twitter back in the summer that he had a "major story", the release of which had been blocked till midnight. Cue an army of cretinous muppets (myself included) gleefully pressing f5 at the promised hour, only to discover that Rio had another injury.

I think he just likes being a wum.
 
The guy in the white clearly isnt him. Didnt think it was when I saw it. But that doesnt mean he wasnt in the box. I thought we were going off more than seeing a guy with darker skin in a picture. If that was the only evidence then well, yeah, thats not him
 
Well we had reason to believe there was more evidence than just the pictures.

Tweets by the same journalist from yesterday:

steverbartram1: @MOgdenTelegraph Loved the low-key entourage with him.

dp1030: @stevebartram1 Is that 'low-key' entourage comment ironical?

steverbartram1: @dp1030 Yep. Not huge, but all looked like the types who hang around players. Very dapper.

Na it was more than that.

MOgden said he was '20 yards' from him and thought it was him.

Nick Coppack confirmed it was him. (he thought so anyway)

But apparently Douglas Costa has denied it.. Even that might not be true
 
So was he there or not? Maybe Costa was instructed today to say that he was not at OT? A bit like when Rio commented about Evra signing a new deal on Twitter and then backtracking?

Anyway this thread will die out it seems.

The guy who first reported he was there admitted he thought white jacket was him.
