[Albion] "You're black and you stink" Rodriquez comment to Bong? - FA say not proven

[super-seagulls]

Is it just me or are we hearing loads about Rodriguez, how he's coping, what he's doing, how the club are sticking by him etc. etc. but naff all anywhere about the actual (alleged) victim of it?

Why do we have to hear what Pardew thinks about it when his man is the one who's been charged?

This was my point earlier in the thread. Even after the FA CHARGED JR, SSN have painted JR as a victim, quoting Pardew saying things like. ‘JR is having a tough time obviously, and hopefully he can get back to concentrating on playing football” “it might mean more than just missing a few games, the incident may impact on his career” “we are behind him 100%”

**** Pardew, **** WBA and **** Rodriguez, why doesn’t anyone care how Bong feels?

I agree, especially when Bong is basically being accused of being a liar.

I can't believe this thread is still going, 700 odd posts on stuff that would have been sorted out playground style once upon a time.


What a sad soft world we now live in.

Probably.

I still think that he's guilty, and he knows he's guilty, but WBA are stringing this out as long as possible to avoid a ban while they're battling relegation.

Yeah, all this PC bullshit where you can't be racist any more. Must really grate, for lots of people.

And the evidence that leads you to this conclusion is ?

You know what I mean people are too sensitive nowadays, they get worked up about anything and everything.
They need to chill and get on with it, they will get far more respect, no one ever used by bothered by the Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotsman jokes.

No not just you was thinking the same as soon as I read the update on the bbc website.

Has to be said that Bong is knuckling down and getting on with the job and performing well

So what are you suggesting Bong should have done when he heard racist comments made about him?

Suck it up.

Kiss him down the tunnel.

Lots of options, I like Bong, but all this tell tell stuff just winds everyone up, I mean 700+ posts on it, need I say more

I would have to disagree with the implication that 'sucking it up' is the 'hard' option and reporting it is the soft option.

Seems to me that it is the other way round. The easy option would be to ignore it. While what Bong has done takes courage and conviction and will hopefully improve things for others in the future. In this day and age racism should be unacceptable and in my opinion should be called out when experienced rather than ignored.

Ok fair enough, I just remember being called all sorts of things when I was playing football, when I was a 15 year old playing in a mens team, I would bite back and lose my temper which would affect my game.Then as i grew up I would use any abuse to motivate, just like Murray does and that would benefit me and the team and not bring others into it, so who would be the winner? The abuser would always be the loser.

I'm guessing you haven't kissed anyone down the tunnel.

Yes, sort of agree with that. Being offended on behalf of someone else and all that.

I think you'll find that 'No one' effectively means 'The English'; the Irishman, the Welshman and the Scotsman often did get bothered!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I remember reading that Bong has said that he asked Rodriguez to repeat what he had said and he did.

Basically he gave the fella the chance to back out of it whilst also confirming what he had heard.

If this is true, surely the lip reader is pretty irrelevant.
Can anyone confirm whether Bong did ask JR to repeat himself?

Man up............man.

Man up............man.

Eric Cantona with his 'When seagulls follow the trawler' comment did the inexplicable much better than 'man up.....man'............
