Bolger please post for me at your earliest convenience any racist remarks Arnautovic has uttered, any at all and quickly as possible please.
I've seen you post at least 4 times today that Arnautovic is racist so again please your earliest convenience back this up.
I absolutely abhor virtue signalling.
Racist, say it enough times and people are afraid to even constructively criticise for fear of being called a racist.
I can only presume you're referring to the Austria Vs north Macedonia match where in fact Arnautovic was banned by uefa for insulting another player. Not for racism as you repeat. is nationalism racism, do want to redefine every term in the dictionary.
I'm Irish, I learnt in school about all the terrible terrible things England and it's government did to my people, rape, pillage, famine, murder etc. now am I racist because I remember that and because I hold nationalistic values. Am I racist if I say 'im f*****g your English mother' cause that's what Arnautovic said.
Racist my arse, I'm sick of hearing about it everywhere. Racism, women, lbgt, trans rights. this is what's shoved in my face every second of every day and I'm up to my back teeth with it.
Arnautovic has played football with many different colours, creeds etc and I've never heard once anyone come out and say he's racist. I seen the papers write about him being racist in 2021. let's see, does it ever cross your mind that they write stories to fit the narrative, ie the narrative since George Floyd has been about racism. these papers that don't write news, just adverts and product placement.

100% Ross, well said, some of the posts about him are a joke tbh.

Man Utd sign Racist is a headline whether Newspaper Online News Site or twatter.
United whether for good or bad are still the headliners. I just can't remember when the last good headline was.
In 2022 when people make opinions based on one line the headline is now regurgitated as the full undisputed facts.

I don't want to sign him as I think he is sh1t.

So Rosspique you don't believe in human rights for marginalized groups. certainly shown your true colours. do we need fans like you at the club?
08 Aug 2022 20:06:19
Jonny Blaze have you read your history? Did you believe in human rights etc. do we need fans like you anywhere?
This is just history repeating itself. One of you drove away Shan United Boy from these pages 2 years ago by accusing him of being a racist and i can tell you with absolute confidence that it still hurts him. Not one day goes by when he doesn't think about it.

You may want to look at what was said to an opponent during his fc twente days before you defend him rosspique.

The key difference is that Arnautovic is Serbian and during the Balkans war Serbian troops used rape as a weapon of war against ethnic Albanians.
In other words, there are clear and specific connotations to what Arnautovic said. It’s not simple nationalism or even basic misogyny. It is a direct reference to the systemic rape of ethnic Albanian women by the Serbian military, and that is why he was banned.

Well said Danny.

Nothing wrong with supporting your homeland, or being aware of the history, but once nationalism spills out into a generalized hatred of another nation, religion or group of people then it becomes destructive. There's good folks and bad folks everywhere.

A Dutch player said he was called the N word by arnoutovic.
08 Aug 2022 21:52:15
Not only did he get banned by uefa for it, he’s also had multiple accusations over racism to add he also was known to Harras the West Ham women at the womens team
And then go look into the manager he plays for now and his history who he calls a “big brother” according to reports in Italy. go have a look into his history
Not only is he a poor footballer he is a horrible human being.
But hey go and get greenwood back while we are at it?
Absolute disgusting if we are associating ourselves with people like this.

Yeah Danny, cuz, u know, Albanians, Shqiptars haven't done the same.
Not that I would accept those kind of actions, but i'm sick of blaming Serbian people for everything.
Players provoke opponents all the time. Its nothing new. Would you like us to sign a player like Materazzi, after what he said to Zidane?
I don't see what Arnautovic did as racism, nationalism or whatever, I see it as provoking the opponent.
That said, I don't want him signed, but because I don't think he is good enough.
And no, Arnautovic isn't Serbian, he is Austrian, he was born there, he lived there, he chose to represent Austria. His father is Serbian, but mother is Austrian, so its a bit distasteful calling him Serbian and making those kind of connections.
