If anything, it should be Man utd who decides the punishment. It’s has got fucking nothing to do with FA. Fix your fucking VAR & referee first

LMFAo

The FA is ridiculous lmao

He didn't meant like that but deserved

Any Argentines/Spanish speakers that can clarify what this was meant to convey? It obviously looks absolutely awful in our cultural context, but it also makes zero sense to think he was trying to be insulting. Curious what he was trying to say

Paywall. What did he post?

The fact he deleted it means he knows it was "wrong" meaning the FA are free to throw the book at him.

3 games, 100k. Same as Cavani. The fine may be lower since he earns far less than Cavani did.

United losing all of their forwards lol

"Calling him a gorilla is actually a term of endearment in Argentina" - lad who's never left Salford

Complete joke if they try and ban him, now I'm a United fan so there may be some bias here....

but he tweeted a picture of him, Maguire (who scored the winning goal) Onana (who saved a last minute penalty) and Mctominay with Maguire and Onana clearly being the main 2 in the photo.

Garnacho didn't use 1 emoji of a gorilla directed at Onana.. he used 2... the way I see it, he clearly meant it as being 2 beasts who won us the game.

God forbid they try and do smth about City though

Don’t think he meant it that way. He realized he messed up and deleted it. Why make anything more out of this?

Why do players get harsh penalties and not officials who mess up all the damn time?

Laughable organisation

Dude looks like a pikeman ready to fight at the battle of hastings, he really has that simple Jack vibe going for him so its not surprising that his decision making isnt the best

Yeah, I don't associate gorillas with strength/power/dominance. I associate them with black people, so it's racist regardless of the obvious context. You really can't make this shit up anymore.

even if he had done three black emojis in a row, the media would have made it into so racial dispute..

shit's getting alil over the top

edit: 'even'

Is it racist for them to think the tweet is racist? 🤔

Good job. Nothing for scuffing the penalty spot before FCK's kick is even better /s

Fucking moronic but I doubt malicious.

Yeah this is dumb, he's super young, took it down as soon as he was aware, Onana himself has backed him up. Leave it at that

Far-fetched

All you muppets on here calling for his head, onana released a post what he thought about it.

Now please children go be mad about something else.

The only thing offensive here is those fucking earrings.

100% no negative vibe from this at all, intended as a compliment I am certain

There is real racism in football and this what the FA choose to use as positive PR

Having been on various sports teams in the past and seen a few (black and white) exceptionally athletic guys referred to as "silverbacks" or "gorillas", it's incredibly obvious that this is an endearing moniker, similar to calling a very strong guy a "beast" or something like that.

Reading racism into it just says more about the reader than anything else.

The ball is gone

As if there’s people in here thinking this is fine

FA are a joke. Always have been.

The world needs to stop being offe dedicated for everyone else. Onanas post was spot on, who can tell him who he should be offended by. The mostly all white male FA will judge if it should be offensive to Onana.

Why is the FA pretending to be offended for Onana? Onana knows that's not how Garnacho meant it, he said it himself.

FA needs to fuck off

Its okay to post a white man with a 🐐 emoji, but its not okay to post a black man with a 🦍 emoji?

Ok put it on the queue behind city’s 115 charges that are being investigated for 84959402 years

It seems to me FA are the racist ones and not Garnacho. Just ban the fucking useless refs instead

So fucking annoying

I think it's fair to say anyone thinking there was ill intent are the racists. Embarrassing that the kid had to delete it and feel bad
