Sometimes you find yourself writing something and thinking "I can't believe I'm even needing to make this point"

The FA have condemned it, Kick It Out have condemned it, BHA have condemned it, Hughton has condemned it, Burnley FC have not. Says everything you need to know, how can you expect fans of Burnley to act civilised when their club can't.

As said, I didn't hear it and I can't make complaints on behalf of someone else and I also think it's possible, even likely he misheard it. But say I did hear it and it there wasn't a chance I misheard, I've not got any evidence or recordings, it was apparently a small group and sung whilst another unacceptable chant was being sung by a larger number of cockwombles so there's likely not going to be any evidence of it on the microphones and if there is it'll be picked up in the investigation being carried out into the monkey chants anyway so what would be the point? The outcome would be the same regardless.
I assume, given your insistence here that you've reported Burnley for the homophobic chants?

Glad to see the FA say something. I'd expect a waffly statement from Burnley FC some time soon.

I'm not even convinced we're speaking the same language. This is utterly insane.

Monkey chants? When did that happen? I was only aware that your fans were booing Bong because he made a complaint about being racially abused.
As for the homophobic chants, I think that's already been reported considering your own fans have admitted to it on twitter and on a live radio phone in.
The one thing Bong and the Burnley fans definitely both have in common is that they both have made racial abuse allegations which they were on the receiving end of. So remind me, why were you booing Bong?

Maybe the Burnley fans trying to justify it can read this

You said Burnley fans showing support for JR is "a bit like" Alabama residents voting for Roy Moore. So you're likening supporting JR to supporting an accused paedophile, so I'm not sure where else that ultimately leads without you likening an unproven accusation of racism against JR to an accusation of paedophilia.
Unless you meant it's "not at all like" in which case I agree, but that's one hell of a typo.

The FA said in a statement: "The FA considers the behaviour of some supporters on Saturday towards Gaetan Bong to be unacceptable.
"It needs repeating, following the recent disciplinary matter, that there was no suggestion by any party involved in that case that the player made a malicious or fabricated complaint. The FA was wholly satisfied that the complaint was made in absolute good faith.
"The FA takes all allegations of discrimination extremely seriously and continues to encourage all participants who believe that they have been the subject of or witness to discriminatory abuse to report this through the appropriate channels."

That's quite a journey you went on there
He was talking about football tribalism meaning people will take a side on something related to social events and way above football.
Not quite where you've ended up. Still great effort to get there.

Wow! If that's true, then bloody hell some of your fans need their head examining. If true, disgraceful.
As you ignored it, I'll repeat agin: The one thing Bong and the Burnley fans definitely both have in common right now is that they both have made racial abuse allegations which they were both on the receiving end of. So remind me, why were you booing Bong?

Their inaction speaks volumes, but i'm not surprised
I'm talking about tribalism and how it can cause people to back some pretty dreadful things in the name of "reds v blues" - I think you are intentionally missing my point here and trying to sensationalise.

Pathetic aren't they? Some still calling GB a liar.
