I've just watched the footage on the news and to me it didn't look like someone doing a "monkey" but simply an excited gesture which many people do - elbows bent, fist tightly clenched and a sort of "yes!" and rapid up and down movements of the fist/arms. I do it myself if I've finally succeeded in something I've been trying hard to do - and similar situations.

The fan maybe did get angry with Dwight Yorke afterwards for being accused of racism if he wasn't being racist.

I suppose it will all come out in the wash, but what does anyone else think on first seeing? Would you have thought it was a racist act?
