Happy Face 29 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/i...als/6338381.stm Aragones wins Henry case appeal Spain coach Luis Aragones has won his appeal over racist remarks made about France striker Thierry Henry. Aragones, whose side face England on Wednesday, commented on the Arsenal forward in a 2004 training session. The Spanish Football Association fined him £2,000 for behaviour "contrary to the good order of the sport". The offence was upgraded to "conduct which could be considered to be racist" by a government body but that has not been successfully appealed against. "The court found that the Spanish Committee for Sporting Discipline had incorrectly evaluated the evidence," said a Spanish FA (RFEF) statement. "We now hope that all measures will be taken to clear the good name of the national coach and the RFEF disciplinary committees." The RFEF has yet to say whether the original fine will stand. But Aragones told Cadena Ser radio station: "I went to court because it was a stain on my reputation and because the offence did not exist as some judges thought. The latest ruling is definitive and there is no right of appeal. In November 2004 England's black players were subjected to racist chanting in a friendly against Spain.

Fop 1 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Mr human rights Peter Thatchell recently stated that Spain were a more progressive and liberal society than Britain Meh I dunno racism is rife around the world (tbh Emre probably has a point with Turkish attitudes, doesn't make it right of course), I've certainly seen it in Spain, it's just that everyone likes to knock the UK and we like to martyr ourselves most of the time too. Spain is more laid back and liberal in many ways though, less in others, and boardly less PCer than thou obessed (although I suspect ANYWAY is less PCer than thou than the UK).

Meenzer 15870 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Mr human rights Peter Thatchell recently stated that Spain were a more progressive and liberal society than Britain Perhaps they are, I wouldn't know really, not having lived there. Has he actually lived there though? I presume his opinion is pretty much exclusively shaped by the fact that they've got full-on gay marriage and we haven't.
