Zenit St Petersburg

[tomsdubs]

Where the **** are the mods? This guy should have been banned.

[sheeeeeeeeeep]

It is a strange choice of a friendly. Given the situation going on within Russian politics right now and their stance on race and ***ual origin, I find it strange how any club would want to play a club that clearly backs the countries politics. Garibaldi is going way to far and is just a complete **** though.

[Akwesasne]

It seems to have escaped everyone's notice that the meeting is in the birthplace of Adolf Hitler. It's easy to see why the Zenit team is attracted to the area, a return to their roots and maybe also a Western Ukrainian team but why Derby ? Perhaps they fancy a bit of yodeling and thigh slapping.

Normally stay out of these threads but to be fair to our red friend, he is having a debate. I don't 100% agree with what he writes and how but there is a point there. Don't see any reason to ban him or lock the thread. Zenit is a strange choice of opponent but I do agree that sport should be breaking down barriers not building them.

We're testing our whits against Champions League opposition in a neutral venue, where they'll be little, if any, Zenit supporters.

It's a brilliant friendly to have.[/quote]

Not disputing the fact that we are testing ourselves against Champions League opposition am I.
Is it a 'brilliant' friendly?? That's a matter of opinion.
Politics in football bores me witless to be honest, so I don't really know Zenit's stance over their supporters views. IF they have come out and publically distanced themselves from the supporters views, there is not

Plenty of streams available for tonight's game. It is live on TV at the Neptune too. 5.30pm KO UK time.

[sheeeeeeeeeep]

Maybe they should be introduced to Millwall. They would have a right old knees up!

Let's be fair though. If Zenit as a club had really done anything bad in football then it is up to FIFA to sort it out not Derby County. They are the Millwall of Russia.

Of course the fact that everyone is **** scared of Russia including the USA does not help.

On a brighter note. The people out there wanting Britain out of the EU and voting for a nationalist government may soon have the same rights and privileges as the Russian people do if they continue to vote that way. Ahhhhh democracy!

[roger_ramjet]

Speaking personally Sheeeeeeepp, the sooner we (a) get rid of Scotland and (b) get out of Europe the better. Not a nationalistic government though: UKIP are the classic opposition to stir things up, but put such a party into power and they wouldn't have a clue what to do.

Anyway, this isn't a political forum so I will say no more

[southernram22]

I'm not sure I like that. :/

It's like the first time your girl friend says to you, "my parents like you, they trust you" ?

Bullocks to that you're dumped sweetheart, lol

[Ramkes]

Don't you need to look a little closer to home re racist issues.

Didn't your manager need to apologise to Paul Ince re racial comments made in 1994.

And isn't your managers brother Dennis a leading member of the BNP, he even stood as a Parliamentary candidate for the far-Right party.

What's the saying about people that live in glass houses...
