West Brom To Avenge Odewingie's Racist Banner By *****ing Russians by Nobody: 5:06am On Sep 15, 2010
West Brom fans will show solidarity with Osaze Odemwingie at Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

Fans will unfurl a banner to counter a racist one displayed at the Nigeria striker's former club Lokomotiv Moscow.

Last month, Russian fans displayed a banner emblazoned with 'Thanks West Brom' with a picture of a banana after the black player left the club.

Danny Lynch of anti-racism group, Kick It Out says that "the banner was overtly racist".

West Brom's banner, created with Kick It Out, reads "Thanks Lokomotiv" and is accompanied by a picture of Odemwingie celebrating his winner on his debut against Sunderland last month.

The banner will appear at Saturday's Premier League match against Tottenham.

"To see messages coming from Lokomotiv fans that were the sort of messages hurled towards black players over here in the seventies just shows how developed we are as a footballing nation," said West Brom fan Martin Greenwood, who orchestrated the response.

The Nigerian was signed from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow three weeks ago.

and this is the same russia bidding for the 2018 world cup. racism is rampant in russian football and the society at large. the authorities keep turning a blind eye to it.

they should be shunned by africa and the rest of the sane world.

I was shocked when I read the story of the racist behaviour of Locomotiv Moscow fans towards Osaze Odemwingie. The fact that he has a Ukrainian mother did not even help matters. I hope FIFA and UEFA took the matter up seriously. Osaze has always been a dedicated player for club and country. He is going to do well in the English Premiership as he has the pace and clinical finishing that top strikers are made of. I just hope he keeps his focus and is not easily distracted by the organised social life in England. He should learn from the likes of Didier Drogba and Michael Essien who respect their wives and are not extreme clubbers. I wish you the best, Osaze cool cool cool

very handsome man. He looks more russian than nigerian sef.


and funny enough, i did wonder if his decision to play on the nigerian national team partly fueled that embarassing display of ignorance from the banner carriers.

http://ndn.nigeriadailynews.com/templates/?a=13355

but does russia have any biracials at all on any of it's national teams?




e dey pain me say this guy didnt go to med school sha.

I know if not for football I would have been a doctor," Osaze said.

This had little to do with anti-racism ,but more to do with England trying to take advantage of the situation against their main rivals for the 2018 world cup slot (Russia). Nice initiative on their part tho' kiss .
Re: West Brom To Avenge Odewingie's Racist Banner By *****ing Russians by sirmseen(m): 7:29am On Sep 21, 2010
I dont get it! Is it that those russians do not want osaze to leave ? Osaze had to leave for greener pasture anyways and this tiggered their anger thereby leading to their racist behaviour. Or are they actually happy that he left? angry angry angry
Re: West Brom To Avenge Odewingie's Racist Banner By *****ing Russians by BoboNaStar: 9:22am On Sep 21, 2010
it sounds to me that those russian fans are as backward as everybody thought they were, and to think they are bidding for the 2018, i hope they get it too, just to see my boy Osazee scoring and taunting the hell out those ingrates, (and Lord knows thats the only way the russians are ever gonna qualify for a world cup)
