Bad Press for Turkish Football

[Jacqui Harvey]

Emmanuel  Eboue ex  Arsenal now playing for Galatasaray was pelted with coins, bottles etc., at the match against Besiktas.  This does Turkish Football no favours when the world sees it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2064221/Emmanuel-Eboue-pelted-missiles-ugly-scenes-Turkey.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Disgusting treatment. This video has the soundtrack as well.:

This time its Galatasaray fans doing the pelting. Listen to what sounds to me like monkey chants when the black player comes across to take the corner.

I'm sure a hand shake at the end will sort it though:

Racism might have been removed from the grounds in the UK but it's still around.

Radio Leeds had a presenter (Liz Green) coming home from Manchester on Saturday evening and she had the misfortune to be in the same carriage as about 100 Leeds United fans. She had a call in on the radio yesterday to condemn them for chanting disgusting racist abuse all the way from Manchester to Leeds. She said she dare not challenge them as she was just a lady on her own and the guard made a hasty exit to the other carriage.

The morons are still around!
