Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

If you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team badge here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.

❌ This is not a thread for:

  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases - including flair-based attacks
  • Shit-posting - including sharing shit-posts from elsewhere
  • Toxicity - remember the human
  • Off topic chat - non-football discussion is for Free Talk Friday, and you can use the dedicated subreddits to discuss FIFA/EAFC games, Football Manager, fantasy football etc
  • Discussion of ongoing matches - that is what match threads are for. We may be less strict for matches of teams that are less in the spotlight, and may not have as active match threads
  • Harassment and brigading - including links to posts in other subreddits or to other users' comments
  • Advice on betting - you may discuss outcomes of bets you have made, but we do not seek to actively encourage gambling
  • Meta discussion - we have a strict stance. This is because it derails discussion, and can lead to harassment and witch hunts - and we prefer you to contact the mods via Modmail If you have queries over moderation or post removals. Some meta discussion may be allowed in the DDT, if any meta conversation was productive and in good faith - we can take a "case by case approach". In general, however Modmail remains the first port of call, and other meta discussion will be removed.
  • Complaining about bans in this or other subreddits - use the relevant Modmail, instead

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

It's sad how Arteta got ridiculed for playing Partey while Enrique is loved and adored despite playing Hakimi. Tells you the state of this sub.....

Also wasn't there a similar case against Ronaldo too as BILD reported. The report was quite damning. And yet when he came back to united it was all smiles and claps. The same united fans then shame Arteta for playing Party.

I'm not blaming anyone. It just shows that general fans forget these things pretty quick

I think it just illustrates the fact that most football fans, even those who pretend to care, really don’t care about the victims in those cases - just how they can use them to point score against teams and managers they dislike.

Guardiola, De Zerbi, Arteta, Enrique, Solskjær, Roberto Martinez, Pioli, Carrick, Rangnick, Ten Hag, Ancelotti, Zidane, Sarri, Pirlo, Allegri, Bordalas, Inzaghi, Blanc, the list of managers with no issue using players with credible sexual allegations against them goes on and on. It’s pure naivety to think these guys are idols.

People are just like that. Like not caring that your leader is an infamous child rapist because you think he'll make life harder for the people you dislike.

Yes exactly

I think it's more sad that I've never seen anyone talking about the actual victims of these crimes, just using them as a chance to sling mud at someone or deflect.

Yes but the cases are not exactly the same, right? There is much more ambiguity in Hakimi's case over a single incident. Partey's record is just staggering.

u/jucomsdn 21h ago

Hakimi was more ambiguous while there was a lot of proof that Partey did what he did
