Re: Racist Rovers Fan?

That pair of divvies that got caught up in the emotion of the afternoon got all that they deserved. But does anyone other than me think that Dwight Yorke hasn't exactly helped himself in this situation.

I think that he engineered this confrontation by going and warming up infront of the Blackburn End. He knew full well that he would provoke a reaction from the home supporters due to the animosity they felt towards their former player. If Steve Bruce, his manager, had any foresight he would have told him to go and train in front of the stand where the Birmingham City fans were seated.

The following quote is from the Monday edition of the Daily Telegraph sports pages online,

"Only two Blackburn fans were apparently involved, the vast majority welcoming Yorke's arrival as a substitute with more traditional insults regarding his lack of industry and parentage."

Just for the record, I am not a Rovers fan, and I'm not condoning the fans' actions in any way, but there is no denying that Mr. Yorke was a lazy so & so when he plyed his trade at Ewood park. He knew it and tried to rub it in with the home fans, with an unfortunate outcome for all concerned.
