[Albion] Jay Rodriguez alleged to have abused (possibly racially) Gaetan Bong

[jonny.rainbow]

Chris Hughton confirmed a complaint has been made to the FA through the match officials.

 

[Mackenzie]

Seems like it’s all been done by the book, up to the FA and players involved to sort it out.

 

[Kosh]

IF proven to be true, award us the three points and ban him from ever playing football again.

The only way to stamp out this kind of shit once and for all.

I'm genuinely sick of these so called role models and the pathetic way they often conduct themselves on the pitch. The disgusting example they set to children, in particular, is utterly contemptible.

If this was one our our players I'd be saying the exact same thing.

If indeed proven to be guilty, he ought to be ashamed. Too ashamed to ever walk out on a pitch again. Professional my arse.

I guess evidence is the issue here. I'm sure the defendant is innocent unless proven guilty.

 

[dangull]

Do these things ever work out the other way? IE a white person called a honky, cracker, chalky ect

 

[Papa Lazarou]

On the TV he went up to Gaetan pinched his nose nose then wafted his hand under his nose to denote the Bong stank.

If that is racist, he's guilty.

Perhaps Bong had just farted?

What insult is ect, other than not spelling it correctly

Either way it's massively inflammatory and just ****ing pathetic really.

What an absolute tosser.

If, IF, that's what it was then be hard to show it as racist. Plus could have been aimed at most of the team. Certainly their performance stank.

Oh Kosh! I totally agree with your sentiment and gave your original post a thumbs up. Concise, to the point and spot on.

But then you couldn't help yourself but elaborate could you?

Football players as role models is a tired cliche. They are just people, some of them really good, some of them complete and utter c***s. If children are set an example of how to behave by the likes of John Terry, Wayne Rooney etc then their parents have done a pretty shitty job.

You were right anyway, but sometimes less is more.

It’s so hard being white

Is “nose nose” racist?

Fair enough... I'm not in a great mood I guess.

Who is?

 

[WATFORD zero]

I don't know the playing history of the players involved which may have an effect.

But is it possible that the intention of the insulter wasn't the same as the interpretation of the insultee?

(I think always thought I should have had a career in law)

When was the last time someone called you a honky?

 

[FIVESTEPS]

Just being topical,saying "I can smell your shithole"

Apparently, its a popular name given to white people from some African/Americans.

The above clearly happened, was shown in close-up replays on Thai (or something) TV and I have no doubts about my interpretation of it, and it doesn't reflect well on Rodriguez.

It doesn't detract from the fact that we were utter shithouse though.
