Where has the racism come from ? Ive read nothing?
I think by racism Stuckey means suggesting that people dive/fake injuries because they are from a different country?
No nothing to do with that. Just stuff I've read on social media that is directly racist.
Ahh, social media is always the place for faceless trolls to say some absolutely disgusting thing.

I remember when wsw beat guanzhou evergrande the rascism was strong from both sides in the social media stakes.

Very sad indeed

OK I actually (accidentally) saw Val's article. Yeah ... that's racist
How were Shandong Luneng players being taken off the field?

Why does Val still have a job? He's unprofessional, a lazy editor, holds grudges for eons over petty bullshit, biased beyond belief, hates AUFC more than some Melbourne Victory fans, is an overall crap writer and now he's a casual racist.

The Advertiser needs to fuck him off ASAP. If only Loukas Founten didn't move to Sydney.

In vals defence, casual rascist is super harsh.

Numerous times he has written about the casual rascism and stereo types in australian sport.

Personally i dont find the rickshaw thing to be rascist at all. We actually have rickshaws in Adelaide also. If we had a player native to adelaidetaking a questionable tumble and a commentator suggested it was more akin to the cbds rickshaw ride then is that also racsism or offensive?

I just dont feel it to be derogatory at all, im usually the first to call out racism when i see it. To me its just a bit of banter.

Val may be many things but imo a rascist he is not.

What a hack of a journalista!

Uses an opinion piece praising amor but really was a poorly disguised dig at gombau and then this...
contrast to the situation in round eight, when impatient fans deployed the hashtag #Amorout because the Reds were bottom with three points.
Because val was not campaigning for gombaus head after his first 8 games at all? but the patient fans rallied behind gombau.

He also quotes kossie to suggest just how well amor is doing, yet not so long ago kossie said australian players cannot play spanish football.

Absolute hack

Forcing Val to write mindless fluff pieces about his successor is another thing we can thank the legend that is Josep Gombau.

Even in his absence Josep is great at making Val look the fool. Although Val's always been pretty good at doing that himself too.

Absolutely but the fact that he's writing these sorts of articles rather than stuff about player unrest or other unverifiable scuttlebutt is refreshing to me
