Insulting the referee isn’t the same as reacting to racial abuse from Joe Jordon.

Racial abuse? :confused:

Allegedly making “derogatory” remarks about his nationality, his legitimacy, etc. The comment mentioned earlier could be taken as that.

Calling someone an Italian barsteward is racist?

I'm pretty sure it isn't.

Would you not mind someone calling you an "English *******" then?

wouldn't make me headbutt someone :confused:

and it still wouldn't be racist.

Not really :confused:

As said above, even if I didn't like it - it wouldn't be racism.

It's derogatory but not racist since it's a comment on nationality. I didn't actually see what Joe Jordan is supposed to have said and if he was being abusive about opposition players he deserves to be fined/punished accordingly but that's not Gattuso's job.
