The lad who threw the banana at Bale got done for racism.
Not sure how that verdict was reached imo unless it’s an admittance of Bale’s ape ancestry.

I do sort of agree with this but then i still can't help but think that a) chucking anything is just dumb and b) a banana skin at a black player, at some point would your brain not compute that this could be taken rather badly.Quote:

There is another health and safety aspect here. what if he slipped on the skin.Quote:
