Hmm. Although what he actually said, badly phrased, is that he often can't tell Fernando and Fernandinho apart - which as they are physically similar and play in virtually the same place on the pitch is understandable.

Exactly this. There is absolutely nothing to see here. Anyone who makes this into an 'issue' is frankly deluded. This is precisely the type of stupid, ill conceived nonsense that has made this country a bit shit.

The exact words, it turns out, were "Was it Fernando or Fernandinho? They both look the same to me". Which, bearing in mind they look so similar they could be brothers and he's watching it on a tiny TV screen, doesn't seem unreasonable. Bad choice of words but that's it.
Doesn't even sound like a bad choice of words imo - just saying two players look alike not that a whole group of people did.

Yep. End of 'story' it appears.

I think the only person who should be offended is Nicholas as it is bordering on slander by people who want to shout "look at me "

Of course there was nothing in it. I was watching and thought it was badly chosen words, nothing else. Another one for those people who can't wait to be offended.

That's Ernest in a nutshell.

I saw this live and thought it would be an issue, but in his defence you could have said that he was referring to the two players in question. He should have said 'they both' but for crying out loud, with all the other carnage going on in the World, this should be halted now and not mentioned again.
