    Would PSG being defaulted (3-0 defeat) suit United? No idea why it would, but that'll probably happen.

    I imagine they'll replay it after the whole of the world comes together to show unity against discrimination.

    Demba, as good as he was in speaking to him, should have smashed his face in too. You've got a freebie ffs, you could rearrange his face and you'd be let off.

    So apparently the Romanian 4th official used 'negru' to distinguish who he was talking about, which according to the Romanians on reddit (yeah yeah I know) wouldn't be considered remotely racist there and just means 'the black guy'. The coaches/players thought he said 'that negro' and all kicked off.

    I don't really know where I stand on stuff like this. It seems a bit ridiculous to suddenly expect every nation on earth to stop using words which have never had racist connotations in their culture, but at the same time I can see why it's perhaps not ideal to be referring to people by the colour of their skin. Although people do get described as 'white guy' (and black guy tbh) all the time with no issue.

    Again I'm having to use Reddit as my source, but yes they reckon there are absolutely Romanian words which you would use if intending to be racist towards a black person, but this isn't one.

    That's like saying facebook is racist or twitter is racist. Reddit has 330 million active monthly users. There are racists on reddit, there are subreddits which are full of racists, but mostly it's just a load of people talking about a thing they like.

    Do we have a resident Romanian on here who could chime in?

    The missus is Romanian. The 4th official basically said "the black guy", thats it.

    Negru is literally the word for black in Romania.

    Was the answer "the black guy'" in response to the question "who did you racially abuse?"?

    Nope apparently the ref asks who he needs to send off and the fourth assistant says the black guy, aka the assistant he probably didnt know the name of.

    He could've asked the assistant his name then said "him" I suppose. Would be top comedic timing.

    There was no need to bring his race into it.

    Have you been to Romania? A black person there is highly, highly odd. Literally drove for three hours with a group of them and they gawped when they passed one black person.

    In their own language it would not be a racist conotation, I've spent enough time there to understand their culture. How it is interpreted by English speakers interpreting a translated, Romanian native tongue and dialect is up to them.

    Its not for me to say what a black person finds to be racist, however from my own experience I highly fucking doubt it is meant with any racist, or offensive edge.

    Equally its also not on you to be offended on their behalf but shits and giggles eehh son.

    "That's football. We knew it was going to be difficult, they're a top side but I thought the boys were unlucky. Bruney hit the bar and if it was 2-1, who knows. But this is Man Utd, we'll now focus on winning the rest of our games and having a good season still."

    Would be just like it for Utd to come back on this and save the useless cunt again. His sacking is the most prolonged inevitably of all time because there’s always that one result saves him at the right time.

    Never mind Romania, if it wasn't for the fact that my work seemingly has the entire county's population of black people employed I would pretty much never see a black person.

    I'd go with that as well. There were 2 (brothers) at my high school out of around 1000-1100 pupils.

    I remember seeing one when I was in my teens and we were hanging out the windows of the car for a better look it was that new a thing. I’d imagine Romania is a bit like that today.

    My school had over a thousand kids from what was meant to be the largest catchment area in the country, and there wouldn't have been enough non-white people for a police line-up, let alone a full drill crew.
