Zenit St Petersburg

then they should not be allowed to play in a tournament run by Uefa or Fifa.

i heard that as well AFKA absolutely astounding a manager of a top level team in europe can come out with something like that and nothing be said of it. it's astonishing.

Razil - that's a cop out to be honest - the moscow teams have brazillians playing for them

So all the advert boards running the whole length of the pitch which said" Kick racism out" was just token boloxxx by EUFA. Which of course should be no surprise.

disgusting

situations of cultural, endemic racism like this will never change unless black people are allowed to play a part

how on earth are these people going to remove their bigotted views on colour if they can never see/meet/talk to/admire a black person?

and isnt taig and fenian mighty offensive,someone called me that they would be hitting pavement.the same applys to hun as well.

Their 30 years behind us in terms of accepting minority groups into their countries, change will happen.

did not no that,my apologies

Spain still has an abysmal record of racist abuse as well

I don't think we should be confining this to the far reaches of Eastern Europe

Given the ridiculously high migration rate across the Straights from Africa, black people are seen as the villains and undesirable in the more ignorant parts of Spanish society (particularly in the smaller urban areas, and rural areas outside of Madrid, Catalunya, Valencia and the Basque Country)

There is no excuse for a non-black transfer policy, monkey chants, banners or stereotyping in this age and the 5.000Euro fines handed out by UEFA are doing a great job of alleviating this problem!

i think its well done to dick advorcat for letting the world know and then ban them from all european competion

As a (semi) dago I can confidently say that, in most parts of Spain, you are 100% accurate. However, places like Catalunya are a lot more cosmopolitan than ****holes like Madrid, the Basque country and Galicia. There has been a huge north African community in Barcelona for decades - the city is much more like a British city in terms of its ethnic makeup. You can't tar the whole of Spain with the same brush you would Madrid.

[cite]Posted By: nolly[/cite]always wanted to go galicia,they reckon there celts!

very strange lot they are!

Strange place Galicia. Massive drug problem amongst the young, enormous unemployment (most of the Spanish kids over here are children of those who left Galicia in the seventies) and its a largely dismal, depressing place. That said, the people are usually very friendly, the food is awesome and, in the summer, the weather is awesome (kinda like you wish it was here - hot but not sweltering, a little bit of rain here and there but not enough to **** you off) and loads of nice, verdant greenery. And the architecture there is amazing - often gets overlooked because of Barcelona, Madrid and Sevilla, but the buildings are awesome in Santiago de Compostela and La Coruna. Well worth a visit.
