Last Saturday, had this said to a black player by a white player, in jest. It was taken in the right spirit by the player. All three of us had a laugh and we moved on.
Technically, is this a racist comment? Had the bloke taken offence on the basis that it is a reference to his colour, would that have been liable for a red card?

He's hardly discriminating him is he? It's just like someone saying to myself (i'm white) 'you're hardly David Beckham'. Where do you draw the line between being overly politically correct and judging someone to be racist?

Agree and I would never take issue with it.
It was just the first time I had ever heard any sort of comment like that, set me thinking.
