[Football] Burnley fans at it again

[Bombardier]

A 13 year old removed for racist chants. They do themselves no favours.

Erm an Albion fan did exactly the same to the same player.

 

[Razzoo]

I do hope they don’t throw the book at this scrote. Who never did ridiculous, shameful things at that age?

There's an excellent article in the Guardian about this today.

The tenor of it, is that maybe we should stop looking at this through the prism of club loyalty

"An enforced educational programme" - not even a lifetime ban as it (quite rightly) would be at our club.

That's Burnley for ya!

The kid is 13. I doubt we'd be lifetime banning a 13 year old.

Really!!! Are you Serious ??

"Enforced re education program" Sounds like a Russian Gulag . A 13 year old kid !!

I think you're right. I was a totally different person at 13 to who I am 50 years on at 63 and I guess this must be true of most people. In this case, education followed by a lot more experience of life could be the answer. I nearly said "should be the answer" but of course a lot of people have made it to late middle age and remained total idiots.

Education programme, what they going to teach him, put your hand in front of your mouth when saying nasty things, like all good racists do?

 

[Chicken Run]

I would think the education programme needs to be directed at whoever is responsible for this child’s upbringing!

Glasses houses, throw stones etc.

Ridiculous, he may well have been led on by an adult, but at 13 he is a minor, and you can't give him a lifetime ban at that age.

Exactly. Educating him is completely the right approach. Obviously if he repeats it then a ban would be appropriate but not a life time ban.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Ignore.

The article does say for the 13 year old and his family.

 

[Muzzy]

Let's hope the parents take this matter seriously and educate the adolescent idiot. After all, that is all he is. If the parents don't give a sh1t , then that is where the problem lies. My ol' man would have given me what for, that you can be sure of!

Agree, although a ban till the end of the season or the completion of the education program.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Give him a break, move him away from Burnley.
