    I honestly wouldn’t sweat over it.

    The more he plays the more you will see his name or an abbreviated version used

    So you accept it is an insult, or was this your attempt at sarcasm?

    Choosing words in isolation can be misleading, the circumstances in which they are said must be taken in to account. ( ask Suarez ! )
    We know this. The point is the nation state name German or in Tsimikas’s case Greek is not and putting ‘fella’ after it isn’t either.

    Not for me or for others it seems. So again I don’t think it’s an issue

    The Greek fella seems fine to me. If he scores an own goal maybe people will call him the Greek cunt.
    Same way our opponents might just say, not that fucking Egyptian/Arab cunt again.

    It's pretty simple Jota is a nice little portuguese fella.
    Bruno and ronny are dirty diving Portuguese tarts.

    People on this forum who know the name of Kostas yet choose to refer to him as “ the Greek fella” is not a term of endearment, they are therefore,in my opinion being condescending and insulting.
    It appears that many are using the most convoluted arguments to justify their position rather than accepting they are in the wrong
    You're the only one on here who thinks the Greek fella is in anyway condescending or insulting.
    Seems particularly odd when just about every comment around the Greek fella is how well he has done, how he is rated as an asset now and possibly displacing robbo, our flying scott
