Porto's Marega walks off after getting racial abuse

Mr.Nice Guy

Some of the most uncomfortable scenes I've seen in football for a good while. Porto striker Moussa Marega scores what turns out to be the winner away at Vitoria de Guimaraes having been subjected to racist abuse from the home fans. He ultimately decides he's heard enough of it and goes to leave the field but his teammates spend ages trying to get him to change his mind. I reckon they should have went with him. You can see the chap is very upset.

Nobody should have to put up with this in their workplace. He ended up getting booked as well.

Until the people incharge start to care this will go on. Stop these bull**** fines. Take points off teams, relegate them. Think about the logic, spend too much money 2 year ban from competition, racism a few quid fine.

What was the booking for? Unsportsmanlike conduct?

Ridiculous

I cannot understand the players around him and their thought process. Surrounding him and pushing him around. Let him walk off ffs

Also, has there been an actual surge of racist chants at games in general now or is this at the same level as it always was only that players have had enough of putting up with this ****?

Hard to gauge across all of Europe

I'd imagine it's always been this bad but the media are interested in it now plus players have an outlet to vent with social media. I'm sure John Barnes could have conjured up many funny tweets in his hey day given the opportunity. In saying that it seems more prevalant than before like the Spurs fan making monkey gestures at Fred.

The ref booking that lad was a mistake he'll rightly pay for that I expect. BBC sacked a presenter yesterday who said something like the young black lads at Derby want to get cop on to themselves.

Like all these things, it will need to be a big name player at a big club to walk off/refuse to play on for proper action to be taken

That was Craig Ramage, former player. Unbelievable what he came out with.

A freelance pundit as opposed to presenter, just for clarity.
