I always thought it was a good thing having people throw money at you?

Actually this one was not racially motivated.  Lampard is a white, English national who also plays for team England.  It was more about London rivalry (both teams from London) and Lampard celebrating in front of the West Ham side.  West Ham is somewhat notorious for this kind of thing.  They are the team from Green Street Hooligans.

There is this guy, Ernie, that works with us from time to time. He retired from a major coal company and now works with us part-time... just for something to do.
He is from Great Britain (Wales, I think), and we were taking a trip today and talking. My other buddy was talking about soccer (for some reason) and called the pitch the "field". Well, remembering the other conversation about soccer in which I learned what a soccer pitch is, I corrected him and told him the correct term was "pitch". Ernie couldn't believe I knew that! He even thanked me!

i knew you guys were warming up to soccer. Smile

*ahem*

In a separate incident, two West Ham fans were arrested over racially-aggravated public order offences following the match.



Is that sort of thing so natural to ya'all soccer fans now that ya'all just don't notice no more?

Ok...minor read fail, but the article was really about Lampard.

Just because I am a football fan does not mean I am desensitised to racial violence.  I also do not think there is flopping or hour long gaps in goals.

Such a great sport.

You know come to think of it, London is in the Souf of England.

... and yet you 'missed' the part about racially motivated violence in the article.  I guess it could have been cuz the article was so long ... wait, it wasn't long at all!
