The A-League’s match review panel has determined the Melbourne City goalkeeper has a case to answer after cameras caught him twice calling Albanian Berisha a “loving gypsy” late in Saturday night’s fiery derby at Etihad Stadium.

Beckhams emails got hacked and an injunction to stop the stories being released has failed since other countries media published them

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/feb/06/hacked-david-beckham-emails-renders-injunction-worthless

quote:

It detailed Beckham’s “angry pursuit of a knighthood”, including how he described the honours committee as “a bunch of cunts” after he was overlooked for the honour.

It also examined how Beckham’s advisers discussed billing Unicef for a business class flight to Cambodia for a trip as part of his work as a “goodwill ambassador” – although Beckham’s team have since made clear this did not in the end happen.

It referred to other emails between Beckham and his team about handling the former England captain’s public image and ensuring he remained seen as a man of the people.

The cache also included emails between Oliveira and Beckham about “a red flag” HM Revenue and Customs had put on his nomination for a knighthood due to his involvement in an alleged tax avoidance scheme and Beckham’s exasperation that he had done nothing wrong.

Hi

Allow me to answer

Seriously, yes. Gypsy populations are crazy in cities like Tirana, Vlorë, Durres and other big population cities (Berat isn't that bad). Gypsies routinely beg for money, don't have a home, steal, gently caress, and die. It's not uncommon to see them selling popped corn ears or nuts for a leke or two. If you are Australian, it's akin to being called an aboriginal.

Joke answer is of course not and he probably had his car broken into after that.

I thought being a gypsy was more of a lifestyle/culture than a race, but ok.

iirc the tyson fury kind of "gypsies" that you get in the UK are fully ethnically distinct from the actual romani racial grouping that exists in eastern europe

sometimes you'll see them given a specific racial designation of irish travellers, but as it turns out "my dad stole copper wire for a living, and his father before him" isn't actually a race

I think being nomadic tends to help too.

Either or Berisha is an OK dude who didn't deserve that poo poo.

I'm assuming here. I fully believe he wears track suits from a fake Adidas or whatever. And can do the soviet squat.
