Seems unlikely a professional footballer who seems to have no 'history' would come out with that, particularly as he has black team mates. Perhaps Bong misheard?

Truth is, only those two will ever know.

what will they do if what he said is true. He is black no disputing that and not a racist comment just fact and running round could have made him sweat so BO comes to the fore.

Surely the club would have advised GB not to say anything until after FA has investigated, this won't help him!

FFS......You`re Black (well that is a fact) and you stink (a matter of opinion)...... I imagine all players get sweaty and therefore smelly during game...........

3 points taken of WBA seems fair to me.

Okay, give BG his log-in back. Even he wouldn't write that.

With the fear of being whooshed, I am not sure if you are joking because your past record is let's say not squeaky clean.
I hope you are going to whoosh me.

I suppose he could claim he said 'crap'. I can't see any resolve here.

It is racist BG. If it was said then it wasn't said as a compliment, it was meant as a slur, which makes it racist.

There's no way that's a woosh, not BG's style.

BG - I'm sure you didn't mean this to sound as bad as it does. You might want to clarify the point you were trying to get over.

No point in giving them to us....we would give them away again.

So what you are saying is, people referring to somebody white that smells would say "You are white, and you stink"!

No they would just quote "you smell" why the need to use the term White or Black!

 

[Kosh]

What is suggested from the footage is that Jay Rodriquez looks very, very scared... or one could suggest very fearful, almost a FFS what have I done! demeanour... interesting.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

It was clear that he was mouthing...." have you dropped one ".....I fully sympathise if Bong let a nasty one go and Rodriguez met it head on.

 

[mothy]

I hope jay rod did not say this. As if he did, he was being racist.

It is easy to misunderstand what people say - hopefully this is what as happened. I can't believe anyone would say that in front of cameras..

 

[kennyb]

Take away the argument over what was said surely the hand movements of Rodriguez says it all what other professional footballer have you seen making that sort of gesture in the top league in this country, the instant reaction of Bong would lead me to think this was said by Rodriguez,in which case the FA should throw the book at him.

 

[Deadly Danson]

It's never easy to know how sarcastic people are being on here but having 2 comments so far on this thread even vaguely trying to argue that (if that's what he said) it's not a racist insult is so mind numbingly ridiculous that I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

That's a good call. Seems plausible.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

If there is any evidence beyond the allegation then he's banned for the rest of the season isn't he ?
