| Smoggy 'Fat Boy' Mido seems to have opened a can of worms with a bizarre interview blaming the Football Association for the Islamophobic chanting at the Riverside on Saturday! |
There was a bit of banter directed at the Egyptian striker from a small section of Toon fans, and he seems to have lost the plot. Former Boro striker Mark Viduka took stick when he took to the field as a substitute ... from Boro fans.And NOBODY takes as much verbal abuse as Joey Barton ... but does he complain? Mido: "They kept chanting disgusting words, racist words about Islam and unfortunately, this is the second time that the same fans have done this. "It happened again because after the first time the English FA did nothing. I considered this as an invitation from the English FA to the Newcastle supporters to repeat such shameful acts. "I can assure you that nothing is going to happen this time again. The English FA said that they will be investigating the issue and will make use of the latest technology to stop such racist abuse of players but I feel that nothing will happen. "I am asking the English FA to take serious action to stop such things. These chants are not directed at me as a person but it is directed at Islam." |
