If there's a lesson to be learnt from this it's... if you're gonna use Wikipedia as your reference source at least make sure you get the right Chieck Diabate and not the one who plays in the Qatar Stars League, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheick_Diabaté_(footballer).

The fact that he was actually ejected from the ground made me wonder whether there was a racist element to what the lad was shouting at Chieck.
That's what I was thinking at the time.No mention of it after the match.

We’d have known about that by now if there was anything racist said. I’m sure Cheick would’ve said something to the ref or in the dressing room immediately after the game. I just think it was a young player who let his frustration get the better of him. He’ll learn and know not to do it again.

Or he could have just been really pi$$ed off that he was shoved. There's nothing to suggest any racial element to any of it.

Comfortably mid-table

The Sun obviously just googled this guy who is 33 and has the same name.
So they claim our Cheick is 33 in the report.
