Barton may not last at Fleetwood until the 3rd round of the FA Cup.If you draw Fleetwood in the FA Cup, will you be booing Barton?
I intend to loudly boo him in the Carabao Cup though if we draw Fleetwood.

We should all eat Garlic & Raw Onion Surprise, for a few days before the eventful game.
Then heartily breath out every time he touches the ball.

Every time he touches the ball I will shout 'Bong' at him very loudly in the style of Big Ben.

I would boo Burnley from start to finish (Apart from when we score)

Unfortunately the mob mentality will rule. Back in the 70's / 80's, if Team A's fans racially abused Team B's black players, the response of Team B's fans was often to racially abuse Team A's black players, as if this somehow balanced things up.
Booing Jay Rodrigues feels a bit like this to me. It's a horrible thing he's been accused of, just as its a horrible thing that Gaetan feels he's suffered. To jump on one side or other based purely on partisan lines just seems wrong. The Burnley fans have shown their lack of class by the booing. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could show our class by not doing the same to Rodrigues. Unfortunately, I suspect this isn't going to be the case.

Oh ok, I misread. Jay still came out and said something along the lines of being shown to be innocent.
If Jay had been more reasonable about the whole thing, then it would have all gone away without trouble. It's his actions that have led to Bong being abused, so I think it's only fair for him to get some abuse back. I also don't believe him.

100% agree, however not surprised this attitude exists.
If a third saying they will, this is probably enough to make enough noise to get noticed like what happened to Bong on Saturday.

If fans boo JR, then BHA fans will be viewed to be booing JR for being racist, despite this not being proven, and that won't reflect well on the club. It's a serious accusation, and so I think it's unfair to treat JR in such a way based on personal feelings.
Under different circumstances, I would be happy to boo JR. He's done enough to deserve being booed outside of the racist accusations. Booing itself isn't a big issue. But given the context of the situation, I don't think it's right.
Absolutely this. Repeatedly.

I shall be booing Rodriguez because he is a rude little **** who needs to learn his actions have consequences.

Just leave it alone, like the Burnley fans should've.
Nothing good will come from adding more fuel to this fire.

One aspect of this that has not been discussed is that his actions were in the same week as Trump made those outrageous comments about S holes in Africa and I wonder if this had sub-consciously made it into Jay's conscious? And out it came... It does happen. I am not defending it. Footballers can be socially inept at times...
No. I have absolutely no idea whether he did what was accused of or not. There have been several times in my life where i have misconstrued what people said or did not say. Bong had every right to complain, and should be supported. Rodriguez has every right to defend himself.

I'm clearly a keyboard warrior so I think a new O key on my keyboard would be more appropriate.
