Is telling someone to go back to their own country racist?!? Going by the dictionary definition I'd say no...?

I think the context matters a great deal.

You need to know what he was replying to. I think if someone was criticising Britain or British culture then, while crude, it isn't necessarily racist.

Gerrard Scanlon, 53, banned from all grounds for five years, and from Millwall for life, for racially abusing El Hadji Diouf.

Obviously proud of his actions.

Dunno, double-fist yourself while sobbing at the loneliness of your stupid existence?

Goalkeeper somewhere in the German lower divisions gets racially abused, tells the officials what is happening but they ignore him. takes matters into his own hands when he gets a bottle thrown at him



He is now banned from playing and has a hearing next month where it will be decided if he will ever be allowed to play again

Life ban would be a bit harsh, but I certainly think he should be banned fora good 8 months minimum.

Its a ancient Greek salute no doubt nicked by the Nazis.

England fans reported for racial abuse. Singing songs about Rio and Anton Ferdinand.

[dizzynewheights]

The FA had not been notified of the complaint on Thursday night but admitted it was aware of the songs, with the chant “Build a bonfire, build a bonfire, put Rio on the top, put Anton in the middle, then burn the f------ lot”, believed to have been highlighted by the Fare as the most offensive



lol @ all this fuss over this

[barelylubedcock]

That's not actually racist in and of itself is it?

[Deadlock]

No, plus it's ancient. Brighton fans used to sing it about the chairman who sold the Goldstone and his lapdog (can't remember their names).

No its clearly not racist and it gives that knob Peter Herbert more air time.

His skin colour.

What do England fans have against Anton?

He got racially abused and had the gall to complain about it
