Chelski vs The Tigers

AidenTheAddick

Because he said it when the cameras showed Lukaku warming up. They look nothing alike, so what's he suggesting?

Nothing alike?

Nothing alike, yeah? Stop attempting to be controversial for attention.

Don't be so ridiculous.

Has Martin Tyler been writing his own scripts? Commenting on Sagbo being signed from Evian and getting into......hot water???? and.....pouring cold water on something???? during the season. Oh my sides...........

Not sure that's acceptable, what are you trying to suggest?

Not sure

Why do Sky choose to televise games like this? Can understand if it's being played at the underdog's ground but this isn't entertaining.

AidenTheAddick

Haha! Attempting to be controversial for attention? I don't comment on here much, if attention is what I'm after I'd comment a lot more. Okay, I'll admit that in those pictures they look alike, but Lukaku did not look like Drogba in the shot they showed. Also, a few quotes from Twitter demonstrate that I'm not the only person in the universe that thought it was a bit odd.

Did the commentator just say that's lukaku drogba hasn't come back.. What a racist implying all black people look the same? #skysportsracism

Did Martin Tyler just say "that's Lukaku, Drogba hasn't come back" when Lukaku came on screen?! Wow

Jack ‏@Spanderton 16m
'That is Lukaku, Drogba hasn't come back.' And that's racism Martin Tyler

I could go on and on, but okay, whatever.

Because they can't predict the future, because it's Jose's first game back and because it's Hulls first game back in the Prem would be my guesses.

PC gone mad.

Hull are doing OK here, they have an experienced side now and have spent a few quid .. I will be surprised if they are relegated

Off_it

Fuck me, how is that racism?

Two blokes of a similar size, height, weight, build, physique, hairstyle and, yes, skin colour.

It's not as if he's comparing him to Idi Amin, is it?

Stop reading Twitter for moral guidance. You sound silly.

I don't think you need to be mystic meg to have predicted this one.

AidenTheAddick

Okay, it's not racist. The pictures on here show them to look similar. I still don't think they look that similar when he's been shown on TV today. "Nothing alike" was an exaggeration. Sorry everyone.

This.

Some white guys look similar, some black guys look similar. When they do it isn't racist to comment on it.

Whenever they show David Luiz I think of Sideshow Bob, is that racially offensive to white/yellow people ?

I just looked up the twitter user you quoted with the #skysportsracism tag and what a surprise he's a Liverpool supporter !

AidenTheAddick

Having looked up more pictures online and finding very few where he doesn't look like Drogba, I can see why everyone thought my comment was ridiculous. It's just that when I saw him on TV, I didn't think "Woah, he looks a lot like Drogba". I'm not stupid, I'm well aware that you can compare people of the same colour skin without being racist. I wasn't attention seeking, and the rationale behind my initial comment was related to what I saw on TV. I realise now that this was a silly comment, after seeing other pictures. Back to the football...

Well played sir.

All 3 promoted teams failed to win or score in their openers.

Fair play mate.

Weirdly I think both sides will be pretty happy with that. Hull could have been smashed and 2-0 is respectable.

stonewallpenalty

First half hour looked like it was gonna be bad.

O-Randy-Hunt

Deary me. Just shows a sign of the times when people say that's racist. Doesn't surprise me anymore.

Fair play to you Aiden. Nice one. As you say, "back to the football".
