Lokomotiv Moscow fans' say goodbye to Peter Odemwingie


Recommended Posts

The irony is that Odemwingie's mum is Russian, well Tatar to be precise.

And then you also read bullshit like this:

A spokesman for the Russian embassy in London said: "So far we don't see any reasons to dramatise this, since in Russian student slang 'to get a banana' means to fail a test, and Odemwingie was seen by many fans in Moscow as not perhaps the best performer. But it's their own judgment."

:anguish:

But its not racist!

"Apparently fans were not happy with the fact that he plays better for Nigeria and worse for the club. That's why they have shown their satisfaction after he left. And there is nothing racial in it.

If there would be another player - from Russia, Denmark, Norway or Japan, for example - the reaction could be the same. In Russia 'to get a banana' means 'to fail a test somewhere'."

:rolleyes:
