Re: Racist Incident?

Forget all the "Chinese whispers ",the bloke went on his own accord to the police station,made a statement,was prosecuted,admitted the charge,and has taken it on the chin.
Pointless continuing the debate as he will probably be following Acci next season as bans aren't normally enforced anyway 😂😂😂

Re: Racist Incident?

Like a couple of other people, I don't understand the vast majority of the posts in this thread.

I do know shouting something overtly racist is bad. Its good the bloke who shouted it has been prosecuted. Hopefully he's had plenty of time to think about what racism is and why the words left his mouth. Hopefully some other folk have thought about it too.

Also, however badly people think he has been treated it pales into insignificance to how bad a victim of racism must feel. Thats also worth thinking about.

Exactly and as the accused was racially abused firstly, then perhaps thats the reason he retaliated with one racial. word?

Re: Racist Incident?

It's five days now since the report of the court case appeared in LET and still no official statement or response from the club, WHY?
There have been remarks made on this forum/link that allegedly four club personnel were/are fully aware of "what really happened" but for some reason have denied having any knowledge of the incident.
Am I right to assume that what is being suggested by certain individuals is that a conspiracy has taken place in order to bring the individual accused of making racial remarks to court? If so WHY?
The ball is now in the club's court and the longer we have to wait for some form of official statement and outcome as to how they have decided to deal with the individual concerned I'm afraid we will continue to speculate.

I too am afraid that this torrent of speculation and counter-speculation will unfortunately continue !.
It saddens me to read some of the statements, ill-informed snippets of so-called inside knowledge, and more sadly, the insults linked to these !.
It seems to me that until some resolution is made regarding this whole unfortunate episode occurs and is reported for all to see, that there is a certain futility in pursuing the real truth which is proving so elusive !.
I also feel that much of what has been posted on this thread might well have caused upset and worry to those closely involved in the whole sorry affair. If this is the case then isn't this another reason for a general marking time until real evidence is presented to US !.
Chimer and keep the faith like this.
