Couldn't see a thread on this - monkey gestures and Nazi salutes

Club issue a statement implying there might have been 'provocation'. Does that even matter ???

In relation to the images in the stands of Arsenal Stadium appearing on social networks, Valencia CF:
1. Publicly condemns bluntly and expresses its firmest rejection and zero tolerance, as it has always done, towards the isolated gestures of people located in the visitor's stand and that, evidently, do not represent in any way the Valencian fans.
2. In contact with its legal services, it is working on the identification of the responsible persons to proceed, in case of being subscribed to the club, to take the corresponding disciplinary measures, for which requests the collaboration of the rest of the fans located in said tier .
3. Although these attitudes are absolutely unjustifiable in any case, the VCF is trying to obtain information, in the same way, about possible provocations prior to said verbal and gestural confrontation between people from the local and visitor stands.

Well, we've all been provoked into the odd monkey noise and Nazi salute, haven't we?

Amazing how brave people are when there's a line of stewards and a big barrier in the way...

Oh, and a mildly disinterested crowd who don't look like retaliating. That always helps.

One chump and his pal. Bet his family are proud of him. :tosser:

Was it Wayne Hennessey waving at his friends?

Valencia fan has issued statement saying that he has a stutter; that he was just trying to say "oojamaflip" and was beating his chest to get the word out. He has never heard of monkeys before but he is very keen to learn and has bought a David Attenborough boxed set to help with his education.

Hang on, I thought we established clearly from the Liverpool thread that ONE person doesn't represent a majority?

Fewer closet Valencia fans I guess.

Reminds me of the genius approach used by people on Twitter on past racist tweets - if the "My account was hacked" excuse doesn't work, they always roll out the watertight "I was drunk" defence. After all, what good night out is complete without a few pints, a couple of chasers and accusing Jewish people of, through shadowy means, controlling the world's financial system and being the puppet masters of all Western governments?
