Racist Geordie Scum!

"Mido, Mido, he's got a bomb you know!"

I didn't mention anything yesterday in my match report of the Tyne - Tees derby, but today I thought 'What the hell', its my blog and something has to be said about the Newcastle fans who seem to have gone unpunished for their sickening racist slurs on Boro striker Mido.
Action was swiftly taken on the international stage when black English under-21 players were subjected to racist abuse from fans and players and there has been similar action involving teams been punished for fan behavior, in Europe. However, as yet, there appears to have been no action taken against Newcastle as all 3000 traveling fans joined in racist chants directed at Boro's new Egyptian striker, Mido.
"Mido, Mido, he's got a bomb you know!" The Newcastle fans shouted throughout the game, but this only fired up the big front man, who abruptly told them to "Shut it!" as he bagged Boro's equaliser right in front of them and then ran over to the fans to further make his point. (below)


Mido was subsequently booked for his celebration, quite an injustice Gareth Southgate thought; that a crowd of people can get away with racism, something that was supposed to have been kicked out of football; the Geordies obviously missed that one, whereas one player can get punished for telling them to shut up and another point worth mentioning is that Charles N'Zogbia also went unpunished as he ran over to and taunted Boro fans in the North Stand after scoring his opener. I struggle to understand how telling people to "shut it" after they subject you to racist chants can be worse than overtly taunting people after you just scored past them.
"It's OK for 3,000 to abuse one person. But when the boot is on the other foot, he gets punished."

I don't think that there can be any excuse for racism, especially jealousy from Geordie fans who think that everyone is cheating them

Personally I find it somewhere between amusing and embarrassing how quick people are to jump on the moral band wagon. Suddenly geordies are racist... just because they've pointed out how much Mido looks like shoe bomber Richard Reid... sad really.

FAO Darren - How do you think anyone can take you seriously when you say that:

"as all 3000 traveling fans joined in racist chants"

ALL 3000 joined in did they? Even all the little kids etc...

Your story is just over the top and rediculous
