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

[seagull_special]

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.

You do understand the inference is that he stinks because he is black and that is racist. Can’t imagine that Bong would lie.

I thought these types of misjudged comments were a part of history and consigned to the bin when Love Thy Neighbour was taken off the TV.

So by BGs logic calling someone a black bast*** is nit racist either.

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

If he is guilty, what club would have him after this.

 

[Renegade]

This is for sure one of those 'what were you thinking' moments. What a total idiot if he said that.HUUUUUGE ban is the only answer.

I think he's currently consulting his public relations advisor

Spartak Moscow, judging by recent stories

Truly remarkable. 2018 is only two weeks old but we already have a contender for Quote of the Year.

CSE grade five...that help?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I find the tone of a lot of the comments about this shocking. There is absolutely no reason not to believe GB when he says he was racially abused.

BG’s comment is the worst offender (no surprise there) but there are plenty of “if he said it/might have mis-heard it” comments. No wonder people are reluctant to report things.

"we" - I got the CSE as well

watching that video I reckon GB might have misheard. Looking at JR's reactions looks like he said 'ya breath stinks'. Best to ban him for the season just in case though.

 

[clippedgull]

from the article...

The clash took place near the corner flag with no one else in the immediate vicinity so verifying exactly what was said is likely to prove difficult.

The 28-year-old’s version of events is understood to be that he used the words “your breath stinks” to Bong as he pinched his nose.

I can see this being an allegation 'not proved'. It's basically "he said/no I didn't"

That is a bit Trumpite

I think only two comments so far have been deplorable and misguided at best. The other comments you refer to I believe to be taking an 'innocent until proven guilty' line which I would imagine you would be happy with. Yes, there is no reason to disbelieve GB but there is also no need for a witch hunt either.

 

[Aveacarlin']

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!

Absolutely this. There would be no need to refer to a persons ethnicity unless it was for the purpose of being derogatory in this case. IF it happened.

This.

It’s as if this is another Albion’s forum!

If Bong said he heard the slur, we should believe him and back him.

It doesn't help that James McClean is whipping up the Baggies fans on Twitter.

one of the nicest m
blokes he knows goes round telling folk their breath stinks. He must know some charmers.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

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..

I had an issue yesterday at the game. The older gentleman next to me appeared to say something about Bong which would have been more offensive that Rodriguez is alleged to have said. I wasn't 100% sure I had heard correctly so had to give him the benefit of the doubt. If I had been totally sure, I would have had no hesitation in reporting him to the line of stewards / police that were close by.
