He's good at doing that
Obviously we cannot prove that what Touré suspects is inaccurate but he has form for being, shall we say, oversensitive? I mean in that same interview he talks about he should have had a similar send off to the one Iniesta and Buffon enjoyed. In what world does Yaya Touré measure up to those two? The fact that he sees himself in that light makes it very hard to take him seriously.
Yaya's caked off his fecking head.
It can be classed as hypocrisy..but he wasn't wrong...
I disagree he has the label. Actually its Yaya who is coming out worst from this.
I’ll ask a question if there is no proof is it fair someone suffering abuse should be quiet?
I agree with you about society but that something that needs fixing instead of forcing the victims to keep quiet until the have proof
Kinda lost here.. Just saying he was highlighting an issue people have been complaining about for years..ignoring the hypocrisy.
No, it is not fair.
But if there is no proof, how do we differentiate the people who are being quiet out of fear, from the people who are accusing everybody of every crime?
Cover for Matic?
No
No
Bad examples as those countries are actually the richest in South America
. South America as a whole is still a lot better off economically than Africa. Football in south America simply has more funding even at grassroots level.Remember that Pep is a Catalan nationalist. It wouldn't be that far-fetched if he was a bit xenophobic.
It's funny how the media ignore this, imagine if he was an English nationalist.

The way you wrote it suggests that you are convinced he is a racist and toure might reveal it but I will put it down to poor sentence structure.
The same way most people do not believe Yaya today (and wont until he provides sufficient evidence) due to the fact he has been quick to throw around accusations in the past which have been baseless.
As overstatements go this is right up there with the best of them. Really, well played.
I Have to ask though, how did you draw that conclusion from the following quote?
What point that has been proved is that you're a bigot
Revealing pep for the fraudalant racist that he is states that he is a racist and you will laugh hard when or if toure reveals it.
So yes past character does play a big part in whether people believe you or not. Unfortunately for Yaya he has a history for blowing a little bit of smoke. So yeah, it is understandable that a lot of us are skeptical until Pep actually is proven guilty.
If it was someone like Drogba or Seedorf making these accusations, I'm more inclined to be a believer. Even then, I'm the sort of person who would require proof before condemning someone and that is a belief that I hold strongly.
I was of the same impression as MJJ with your quote tbh.
This makes virtually no sense at all, then you would have people coming out and claiming abuse with no evidence other than 'I say so' in all sorts of scenarios.
Marriage settlements? I was abused racially by my spouse, no of course I dont have evidence, but it isnt needed so w/e. If you are having trouble acquiring said evidence there is probably a very simple explanation for this.
It happens already. Lawyers tell their female clients to make up accusations of abuse to gain leverage in child custody battles.
The 'when/if' part didn't alter that perception at any point, then?
This is stupid anyway. Let's just wait and see with Yaya has to say.

Why are we ignoring the hypocrisy?
Not really, no. The "that he is" part shouldn't be there if you don't want people to think you have made up your mind about it.
It'll make the issue about Yaya...
Personally I'm loving the irony in all this.
What irony? That you should be able to accuse someone of racism without substantial evidence aswell?
Oh I was just using marriage as an example off hand, this could manifest virtually anywhere. Fired from work? Actually no my employer racially abused me, evidence? None needed, suffice to say he/she is a raging racist. Arrested for a crime? The target of the crime racially abused me, thought the racist was getting what he/she deserves, any proof they are racist? Nahh not required, just my say so.
truthI accused others of assuming Toure is lying before the guy had a chance to say his piece. Then I get accused of presuming Pep to be guilty before he had the chance to prove himself innocent - in the very same post no less.
Well Seluk is certainly right about Cashiola there.
I think the true star of this thread is Dimitri Seluk. What a fecking legend. Raiola has nothing on him.
Shhh, too much sense.
Guardiola being a fervent nationalist and open supporter of politicians who have long track records of racist comments shouldn't be mentioned here...
It's clearly the black African guy being 'crazy', again, tut, race-card, etc.
Yes, because of the way you phrased it. I don't get how you're not seeing it and english isn't even my first language. It's all semantics though, fair enough if you didn't mean it like that. Then it's best to move on I think.
Already happens at work as well
The work environment has changed so everyone is walking on egg shells, just to prevent someone from being offended or harassed.
I find it hard to believe. Being Catalonian I think it wouldnt be in his nature to be discriminate against anyone but ya never know.
thats utter nonsense, what the feck has him wanting Catalonia to be self governing got to do with him being xenophobic?
Exactly. The man is not 100% sane, that was a year Aubameyand scored so many goals too.
Brass Eye tried to warn us.
But isnt that what I said. Action or consequences shouldnt come without proof. But people should most certainly speak out as it happens and not wait for proof
He tried to didn't he? I don't even know the guy but I'm amused at peeps pulling him up for having 'picked a side', while themselves, picking a side.
