Last night when i was watching the football, Heskey received a lot of abuse for "falling over" a lot, despite the fact he played well. The fact is that amongst many so called 'England fans' (/people that rarely watch football and have no understand of the role of a target-man) this is common, why?...
... I'm sure that normally undeserved criticism hurts more than some Croats making monkey noises.
*foreigners = mainly eastern Europeans and the Spanish... there wasn't enough room to put that.

Despite! I thought he played quite well by his standards, he can't help that Capello thinks a lot of him! He played as best he could even if it wasn't exactly world class. The racist abuse he received was nothing short of disgusting but here's guessing FIFA won't do owt to make an example of it.

By point? No, I know what you mean but the stick he gets off the England 'fans' is just that, it's not even close to the same level as racism, well not the stuff I've heard anyway.

Ignorant people mouthing off due to their ignorance, at what they preconceived as failings...... sounds very much like racism, the only difference is these people are ignorant of football and in particular the job of a targetman

It's criticism, criticism isn't always justified and often made because of peeps' ignorance but they're not having a go at him being crap because he's black, that'd be racist. It's just ignorance.
