I have to say, if they did lob a 'nana at him he got away lightly. A well aimed munchiebox could have inflicted a career ending injury.

No bananas were launched by Scotsmen at the little diver..
It actually came from his own support. Also, the SFA and Scottish supporters organisations are incensed at the idea he was being booed for his colour - for his cheating, diving "I've got brittle bones and no sense of balance me" approach to the sport , yes, but his skin pigmentation? I think not. He'll have to develop more robust semi circular canals if he fancies a career in the Premiership on the strength of Sunday methinks. If he doesn't want to be booed every game.
The Daily Mash will also have to update their appreciation of Scottish culture and sport as well - the idea that the Scottish crowd contains significant elements of either Rangers or Celtic support is a bit wayward - they both tend to loathe the Scottish national team and it's followers as an unwelcome intrusion on their wee northern European Jihad.
Unless I'm missed something
Why the automatic assumption he "fancies a career in the Premiership?"
Because he's talked about a possible move to Chelsea
Going back to BernkastelCues's point about the banana coming from the Brazilian support, I'm not sure how anyone could tell one way or the other - there was no crowd segregation at the game as far as I'm aware.
Fair enough
I wasn't aware of that. To me, it came across as an automatic assumption that a promising player would want to play in the Premiership rather than, say, La Liga or Serie A. I was wrong though.
Admittedly hard to prove, but the Scottish press is adamant
that the crowd at the end were the banana originated was predominantly yellow and green in colour.
After the humungous stink in Scottish society caused by an incident 25 years ago , when Mark Walters was on the receiving end of similar on his Old Firm debut, I tend to lean to the fact that "it wisny us", cos it just so beyond the pale as acceptable behavour for Scottish football fans. Such is the "sunny" and pro PC nature of the Scotland support these days, anyone doing this would also run a serious risk of sound kicking from his own countrymen.
Everybody relax
Turns out it was thrown by a German tourist.
Those well known
tolerators of all things non-Aryan.
What a strange thing for a German to so...
Go and see Scotland I mean. They are good at football, we are not...
I could think of 101 things I'd rather do on a sunny Sunday in London that this.
This...
"the idea that the Scottish crowd contains significant elements of either Rangers or Celtic support is a bit wayward - they both tend to loathe the Scottish national team and it's followers as an unwelcome intrusion on their wee northern European Jihad."
is complete and utter bollocks.
Let me take you by the hand and lead you thru..
The messageboards of Old Firmdom. I'll show you many things that'll make you change your mind....
*shudders*
Old firm messageboards? Crikey. I bet they make the youtube comments pages look like Newsnight review.
They do Indeed offer a window into the dark minds of men...
Who are mostly dressed in garish man-made fibres coloured red/white/blue or green/orange.
Truly frightening.
Fundamental flaw
In the claims of racism.
Scottish people with fruit?
False and Libelous!
We invented the Pommegranate. A difficult and messy fruit to consume - was there ever a more presbyterian approach to fruit based enjoyment?
The original Scottish pomme et granite...
... was an Aberdonian dessert ... a cooking apple with a small piece of igneous rock to discourage complacency ...or indeed eating it in the first place when there were perfectly good fish, or rowies made from flour and lard, instead ...
Makes me think of this
