World Cup VAR official Shaun Evans says gesture was involuntary twitch

cwnol51.bsky.social43

They won’t let a Somalian referee into the country because of his nationality but somehow a white supremacist slips in undeterred . FIFA and trump have ruined the spirit of the World Cup , it’s just an advertising platform .

What a grubby little man.

If that was his intent, leave the bastard there. We don’t want him back. And I hope I’m not speaking out of turn when I state that I doubt the people of our nations ancestors would either. The world doesn’t need racism. It needs compassion and peace. ♥️🖤💛 🇦🇺

I'll never understand this "white power" shit.

As if the usa hasn't sufficient idiots without aus adding 2 the count

If it's the circle punch game and he is not aware of Nazi connotation he can simply be uninvited to the world cup for exercising poor judgement and resume ref duties in Aus. If it's a white power symbol he should never ref again anywhere. Either way he should not ref the world cup.

Hey @australia.theguardian.com @6newsau.bsky.social Check this video out. Name him & shame him. Such a disgrace!!!

Has to get fired… Even if you accept his dumb excuse, accidentally flashing a white power symbol to millions while trying to play a dumb frat boy game is still a firable offence

Oh. We also have limp-dicked racist losers in Australia? Shocking.

Fred 🇦🇺7

WTF!!! He can fuck right off! He can stay there now.

cassiesmom.bsky.social7

Should rule him out of the world cup

Tony Dauphinee7

He's a fucking racist prick.

OMDolton847

Yeah, it's not that. www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?t...

Jason M Ernst7

He’s all proud of it too.

It constantly amazes me how desperate people are to expose their inner core beliefs on a grand stage at the risk of jeopardizing the success of a career attaining elevated world status for the single moment to make terrible choices.

They’re not sure if he was making a political gesture or playing a children’s game. (They make the ok sign and they get hit on the shoulder). Someone should punch the jerk in the face.

pull him in, make him show his socials

I kicked a kid off stage at my show who did that. Stopped cold and said 'Get that nazi shit outta here"

😒god you people. The white power signal is up with 3 fingers, to shape a W and a P. This is clearly the Punch Game because he never lifts the sign above his waist. Stop screaming racism when you can't even decipher a child's game.

Guy needs to be removed immediately

It's fascinating, because SBS Sports still has a post up from a few hours ago clearly making out it is the punch game.

Mike 🇦🇺3

Hopefully he’ll stay there, he’ll be welcomed with open arms

Ricky Vanilla3

I only saw stills of this before the video and thought there was a good chance it wasn't intended. Now I've seen it properly, he's 100% a piece of shit and can't possibly explain his way out of it.

Leo2

Oh, look another white Nazi identifying himself on camera.....

mrtoads.bsky.social2

How is an overgrown teenager like that (look at that smirk) suitable as a referee for any game? How can you trust such a child to be an arbiter of the rules? Australia looking like the US there; it’s not a good look..

Kittykatval 🇨🇦🍁 💙🦋📎2

I wouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt. None.

Dave Smith2

It's not going to go down well if his 1st booking or sending off is to a black man.

Marterlor2

So, is he fired, in disgrace? Or still has his job

Karen Knight2

So disgusting. What a POS!

RV2

I'm obviously a bit naïve. If not told, I'd have imagined that he was discretely indicating that Mr Evans deemed the person behind the camera was a wanker. Clearly, if as you outline, Andrew, he's a sad individual.

🇬🇱🇩🇰Tickedoff🇺🇦🇨🇺2

Whats wrong with people 😡

Fat Apollo, baby!2

You're out to lunch on this. It is very obviously NOT the punch game, because who is he going to punch, the cameraman?

Good Gord5

Recently I was going to apply for a job so I was checking out the company website and I saw a staged staff photo where one of the men was doing this, and they put it on their website I didn’t apply.
