Racist Incident?
Surely whether this was a player or a fan hopefully they get a lifetime ban, racism has no place in the modern game and whoever it was deserves whatever punishment they get.
Accrington Stanley probe 'alleged racist incident' at defeat to Newport County - Accrington Observer |
Re: Racist Incident?
Its good that they are taking it seriously no place for that in the game.
|
Re: Racist Incident?
It would be handy if facts and not allegations were known in the first instance.

Re: Racist Incident?
Can't say too much as wasn't over involved on the night.
The Welsh press picked the "issue" up his morning and the FA have told us to respond with a very specific timescale hence the developments of today. Now with the Board and the police. |
Re: Racist Incident?
That's it let's throw the rope over the branch(lynching). Even before they've found a culprit and given him a fair trial!:rolleyes:

Re: Racist Incident?
Sorry but am I the only one who thinks that the waffle given by the defence is anything but the person involved is going for the sympathy vote??
Even if this is true, shame the offender didn't think more about his son's feelings on hearing his dad's comments - our club suffers enough from people poking fun without one of our own 'supporters' pouring fuel on the flames - hope the club follows this up by growing some cahunnies & imposing a banning order for this individual |
Re: Racist Incident?
Another gobbing off that knows sod all about the incident.:rolleyes:

Re: Racist Incident?
The oracle cashman strikes again. Judge, jury and perennial know it all.
For once cashman maybe try thinking before typing. Even if you think you know something that offers mitigating circumstances, all the rest of us ill-informed oiks have to go off is the fact that this bloke admitted his actions in front of a magistrate. You can't insult people for making comment on that. |

Re: Racist Incident?
Cashy, i was just giving my opinion based on the article in the newspaper & as everyone is entitled to their opinion i don't need 'defending' for doing so & i don't think that's what Shaker was doing - if anyone's being defensive it's you & i understand why but not gonna get into an argument or battle of wills over this, the courts have dealt with it & it's over - doesn't mean i have to like anyone tainting the name of our club in this way.

Re: Racist Incident?
Yeh well we all know what crap yeh read in the press, any liverpool fan will verify that fact.:rolleyes: If this matter had been dealt with correctly in the first place it sure would have been another story.:rolleyes:
|
Re: Racist Incident?
Cashman is correct,
Those of us who know the true story, especially how a certain club member of staff and steward lied demonstrates how pathetic the club is run. This incident has similarities with Jase's incident, with the club acting against its own fans It's as disgraceful as the inaccuracies found throughout the Lancashire telepraph report. |

Re: Racist Incident?
That doesn't excuse cashman's insulting behaviour on this thread. There are other ways to say that there's more to a story than meets the eye.

I've called you out on your adolescent posts and you can't take it, simple as. Your nonsense is why many decent posters have left this forum, but I suppose that's because they haven't got the 'guts' to read your posts isn't it cashman? Or maybe it's because they're 'tarts'?
Sad how a grown up can act in such a way; especially sad when it's someone who now puts a lot of time into the club we share support of. |

Re: Racist Incident?
so I'm confused now, did a racist remark not take place?

Re: Racist Incident?
It would be helpful if those in possession of the facts that apparently didn't make it into court or maybe just not into the report of court proceedings would enlighten the rest of us, who otherwise are likely to believe what we read, thereby turning ourselves into tarts and runts who ought to keep our gobs shut if what we read upsets us. Hints about dark secrets really aren't helpful.
Cashy's last post arrived after I started this, but still leaves us guessing as to what was said, and why it provoked the response which obviously was reported. |

It's the Jase situation all over again. Don't trust the club to have your back, there more likely to throw a knife in it. |
Re: Racist Incident?
Interesting debate as I was once called a racist on this forum!!!.
In reality the bloke (who I know reasonably well) said something (which he admitted) and has been punished. Those who know him,will admit he is sometimes a volatile person but defiantly not a rascist. I know his "grievances ",which Cashy relates to,but he's done the best thing and kept his head below the parapet !! This will all be forgotten in time,as the bloke is gutted at the outcome,but as I said he's definitely no rascist |

Strange then that his own defence say he's not really that interested in the club & only goes so that his son can support the team - unless that's one of the things the paper has reported wrongly?? And even if he was the most ardent fan ever, what exactly were the club supposed to do once Newport County had reported the incident to the police? They can't treat people differently according to how good a fan they are - & the Jason situation was totally different, he only got into trouble trying to help out another fan, not for shouting racial abuse. |

Re: Racist Incident?
There is also the fact the LET reporter says he admitted shouting racist abuse in front of a stand packed with children, Total LIE, this happened 20mins after the game, all the Newport Fans had left, there was all the Newport players on the pitch n hardly a soul left on the ground. But still you keep believing crap,:rolleyes:

Re: Racist Incident?
Like Macca, I am also confused.
As I understand it, the investigation was handed over to the police and the police brought the prosecution. The case would have been heard in a court of law, not the pages of the LET. So what was or was not reported there is irrelevant. It is suggested that some people have lied. Was this in court? If so, that would have been a very serious matter indeed. Did anyone tell the police what the "true story" actually was? If so, what was the response of the police? Did the police bring the prosecution despite knowing the "true story"? If that "true story" was not given to the police, why not? If the person charged was himself racially abused, was that fact mentioned in court? Who was there and witnessed the incident? Obviously Cashy, DAV007 and Lemur. Anyone else? Did the police interview them as witnesses? I really would like the confusion to be cleared up, especially if there has been a miscarriage of justice. |
Re: Racist Incident?
I was not there revived red, but i know the guy well and attended the club with him, and heard and witnessed everything said by the club officials, i am also aware of what the investigating policeman told the accused, and what he said certainly DID NOT tally with what the club officials said FACT. Draw yer own conclusion.
|
Re: Racist Incident?
Thanks for clarifying that, Cashy. Sorry - I had assumed you were there. So it looks as though only DAV007 and lemur were actually there and can confirm categorically that the supporter was racially abused.

Re: Racist Incident?
I give up, Cashy I have no 'purpose' for making my comments - I don't even know the person involved, which I might suggest would make me more inclined to be neutral about the incident than those who do.
I was actually questioning the reporting of the case in my last post but you seem intent on finding fault with anything I say - I won't be adding anymore to this thread as it's pointless, it's evident no-one can reason with stubbornness. And Dav007 - maybe I don't have a clue but by calling me 'son' it's obvious that neither do you |
Re: Racist Incident?
I have said a few times the reporting of the case is utter rubbish, the stubbornness to me is you not accepting that fact.
|
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?
Sorry KTF,poor attempt at injecting a bit of humour !

Re: Racist Incident?
Race + the Police + the me'dja, + humour?
Stop now, before we're all in the dock. |
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. |

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. |

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 !. |
