If anything, it should be Man utd who decides the punishment. It’s has got fucking nothing to do with FA. Fix your fucking VAR & referee first
100% no negative vibe from this at all, intended as a compliment I am certain
Any Argentines/Spanish speakers that can clarify what this was meant to convey? It obviously looks absolutely awful in our cultural context, but it also makes zero sense to think he was trying to be insulting. Curious what he was trying to say
Doubt it has anything to do with where he’s from and maybe just him being a bit innocent and not immediately associating the gorilla with racism.
Josip Juranovic posted the same emoji in the Instagram comments of Cameron Carter Vickers whilst he was at Celtic, CCV is known for his strength so everyone knew he was making a comment about that but he deleted his too because of the same reasons here.
Not sure if related but “mono” = “monkey” is also a kinda popular nickname for goalkeepers. I would say gorilla is a better version of the nickname
Some examples
Navarro Montoya = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Navarro_Montoya
Burgos = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germán_Burgos
Monetti = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Monetti
Sanchez = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Sánchez_(footballer,_born_1987)
Martinez = https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramiro_Martínez_(footballer)
(some of them you might have to open spanish version of wiki to see the nickname)
Beast!
Probably just meant to convey strength and size and general “power”
Paywall. What did he post?
Surely Onana can just say “oh nah it’s fine he meant nothing by it” and the FA will drop it
well from the people who banned rooney and scholes for red cards in pre-season, and banned Rooney for saying fuck, and banning Cavani for speaking with a friend in his own language, im certain they will get it right…
Oh, nah nahh it’s fine fam!
Not really, what if there’s a serious case of racism but the player is forced to say that he’s OK with it due to the pressure from the club
Just a general thought
I doubt teammates are racist to each other when they celebrated the win together
City tried the same thing with Bernardo/Mendy and it didn’t save them
Instead the FA have skipped the whole " what does the percieved victim aka onana thing" of this all and are straight into interviewing Garnacho
In a sane world based on logic this would be true, but we all know the world doesn’t work that way
When the whole saga about the Bernardo Silva-Benjamin Mendy tweet happened, Mendy actually wrote a letter to the FA defending Bernardo & saying that he didn’t view the tweet as racist, but the FA still fined & banned (& forced him to attend educational classes about racism) Bernardo for the tweet
LMFAo
He didn’t meant like that but deserved
The FA is ridiculous lmao
Doesn’t matter how his teammate took it or how it was intended because nuance is not allowed. Social media faux-rage is the only barometer for things like this.
The FA should unleash the firing squad on him.
The FA should unleash the firing squad on him.
Maybe send him over to their friends in Saudi Arabia to be stoned?
The fact he deleted it means he knows it was “wrong” meaning the FA are free to throw the book at him.
3 games, 100k. Same as Cavani. The fine may be lower since he earns far less than Cavani did.
The fact he deleted it means he knows it was “wrong” meaning the FA are free to throw the book at him.
Absolutely fucking not.
United losing all of their forwards lol
I think it’s fair to say anyone thinking there was ill intent are the racists. Embarrassing that the kid had to delete it and feel bad
Its okay to post a white man with a 🐐 emoji, but its not okay to post a black man with a 🦍 emoji?
i’m not saying that garnacho should be banned, but calling white people goats doesn’t have any racist history behind it ?
Ok put it on the queue behind city’s 115 charges that are being investigated for 84959402 years
FA needs to fuck off
