Comments on: Henry’s One Off Blunder & Cesc’s Appeal http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2006/06/29/henrys-one-off-blunder-cescs-appeal/ Fri, 29 Aug 2008 04:08:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Anthony http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2006/06/29/henrys-one-off-blunder-cescs-appeal/#comment-1654 Mon, 03 Jul 2006 17:50:45 +0000 http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2006/06/29/henrys-one-off-blunder-cescs-appeal/#comment-1654 Henry simulated being on the receiving end of what would be a red card offense, Owen dived against Argentina yes, but it was not with the sole dispicable intention of getting an opposing player sent off. Henry has just demonstrated himself to be a hypocrite of the highest order. As for Aragones, he made no racist comment against Henry, this was a case of the British papers purposely mistranslating what he said in order to fan the flames before the Spain-England friendly. Anyone with a good understanding of Spanish can tell you that "negro de mierda" does not translate to "black sh*t". End of story. And it's telling of the British media and many in England that they still can't stop beating their long-dead, self-righteous horse. There is no more issue in Spain with racism because at a handful of games some idiots did monkey chants, than there is with it in England because thousands of people were chanting "I'd rather be a Paki than a Turk" at the qualification match vs Turkey, or there is in painting all Germans as violent thugs because a score of them bashed in a French policeman's head, leaving him in a 6 week coma, during France 98. A little consistency and intelligence in the future please.
