Ta. Amazes me the conclusions people jump to based on absolutely fuck all... 'attacked the ref'... ffs.
Manchester City's EDS U21 game with HNK Rijeka has today been cancelled due to an alleged incident of racial abuse toward the Club's young midfielder, Seko Fofana by a member of the opposing team.
Following an alleged incident in the latter stages of the first half of the game, being played in Novigrad, Croatia, a decision was taken by the management staff to withdraw the City team from the field of play and cancel the game.
Club representatives in Croatia and in Manchester are liaising with officials, the match organisers and the Croatian Football Association to pursue this matter further.

You've missed my point. I wasn't doubting gillie - I accepted gillie's confirmation of events - I was doubting the crap that was flying around on twitter about how people were saying Fofana had attacked the ref. Wild, baseless accusations.

No I didn't. My post was simply backing up yours and Gillie's posts

I suppose there's a few ways you could see it mate.
1. He gets abused so has every right to take the team off.
2. He gets sent off for assaulting another player but uses racism as the reason.
3. The team went into a strop and took their ball home.
It could be reported in many ways but the fact that Paddy intervened and made the call makes it cut and dried for me. I'm sure others will interpret it in a different way though, to suit their needs.
Why is it that it always seems to be us who stand-up to this, are we now setting the trend for moral standards throughout football?
