Chris Gargan former president of Whitehawk FC jailed for racially abusing woman

[The Large One]

Which is ironic seeing as Whitehawk fans sing anti-racist songs every match.

Whitehawk have dissociated themselves from him. The fans certainly don't want him back.

I tend to agree, I know Gargon has a reputation for being a hard-nut, but I cannot fathom how anyone unprovoked could randomly go up to someone and give them such vile abuse, no excuse but I would at least of expected some previous interaction or confrontation between the group.

I can, if their underlying mentality is being a racist. Others on here say he's not - I can't argue with that, but this is what has happened here. Similarly, I'd love to know the circumstances under which the pregnant woman provoked him into racially abusing her.

I thought you knew everything

Marvelous judge as well - he once awarded me £250 for attempting to chase down a mugger and showing police the building he hid in.

Grass

 

[Weststander]

well some people on here have made out hes a jolly roger type villain -- perhaps
coward
bully
Neanderthal
would be more to the point, lets hope no-one inside takes offence to his attitude towards females, he can be truly proud of his courageous actions, and his friends must believe he showed that woman whos Boss !!!!!!!.
I would imagine ---his female relatives are feeling repulsed knowing it was delivered in front of children.

The same posters seemed almost impressed with his hard man (bully) credentials, and indicated a miscarriage of justice.

Laughable.

A racist thug has got his just desserts:

Changing the subject slightly, I was chatting to a Whitehawk fan the other week and they have a very puritanical approach to supporting their team. There's no abusing the ref, no abusing the opposition and no swearing either. Fair play to them and it's completely their business how they cheer on Whitehawk but I'm not sure I could cope with that. I love a good sweary rant at football.

Grass

Hilarious. The 15 year old girl he'd just threatened with a knife and knocked to the ground was pleased to get her property back so I'm not too bothered if I'm a grass or not.

Judge Niblet.
What a marvellous name.

I was at school with him - he was a couple of years ahead of me but I vaguely remember him, mainly because of his splendid name.

Football without being able to say cockwomble just wouldn't be the same for me.

Shame they weren't able to recover your sense of humour at the same time.

What were the chances of him being called Judge Niblet and growing up to be a judge!!??

Comedy is subjective.

Too right. Standing next to Tony Meolas Loan Spell as he loses it completely over Norwood or Skalak is one of my favourite things.

Ernest doesn't do comedy.

Probably the same as Judge Judge - nominative determinism at its best

I'll take your Norwood or Skalak and raise you Ryan Harley.

Having been to a few Whitehawk games that doesn't sound entirely right to me. What is right is there is no swearing in their songs or chants but plenty of individuals swear when talking. They do indeed take the piss out of the ref and opposition but just without swearing in their chants. Puritanical is the last way I'd describe it. As fans can drink in the stands most people are pretty half cut before kick off and it's a good laugh in general.

Well, we know who shot the sheriff. FINALLY we find this out.

Fair play to them then but still not for me.
