Alleged Racism at Woking game

[RHB]

well close down the thread then

Why would I do that? my post was a personal view, just like yours.

Pretty pointless getting too indignant over this incident. As Stan has pointed out, a comment was made, the receiver found it racist, and it's been reported to the Police to investigate further. That's what they will do, and they will talk to those involved.

If they decide that there is a case to answer action will follow. No amount of 'it's racist' or 'it's not racist' on here will make the slightest difference to the outcome. What is for sure is that it's publicity we could do without.

and close down any threads about Ron Martin as anything the supporters might say won't make any difference

The assault on one of their players sounds problematic to say the least… or is that another ‘alleged’ incident.? What happens… a fine ? Games behind closed doors ? After the ‘assault’ on the Solihull gk this is really not good however much goading has gone on.

No excuse.

Ban them.

because whatever people say won't make any difference so it just stops people wasting their time and you know as well as I do it will get hijacked and it will get silly and it will end up being closed down anyway

Nothing here merits closure at the moment.

The lad who films the games from the South Upper caught it pretty well. You can see pretty clearly a punch from a fan and another fan grabbing hold of Amond's shirt and getting into an argument with him.

It’s not racist, let’s all move on from this pathetic “incident”

And you know that how?

We need absolute zero tolerance so I hope the supporter is banned for life if he did make any type of racist comment.

Having sat in the East a few weeks agoand watched some of our supporters scream at the opposition manager for the whole time and then get offended if they get a response from them,I did think they should probably just focus on supporting the team rather than abusing opposition players and managers.

The statement clearly says there were several players walking past so this was not aimed at anyone in particular.

I can understand you wanting someone banned if they have gone on a racist rant to someone but that’s clearly not happened.

Stop being a snowflake and move on with life.

People are far too quick to call for “bans” for absolutely no reason.

 

[Shrimper]

Not the best phrase to utter but if there were a group of players from all backgrounds then I fail to see how it is racist as it hasn't been directed at one individual

 

[meerkat54]

I know one of the stewards ,the bloke said get back in your cage ,now to me that’s not a racist remark

Quite right, that remark is used at everyone regardless of colour.
This world is going crazy.

Comments on this thread are worrying. I can’t see how 90% of people are defending someone who shouted a phrase with racist connotations. If it happened to our players you’d all be fuming, asking for bans etc.

What's worrying about people commenting that the comment maybe wasn't racist?.

 

[SUFCGoals]

When you hear it put like that, you can kind of understand. The English language is a tricky path to tread when it can be construed as racist.

If those comments were made by someone in a certain area of the west stand you'd be asking them to be banned for life. facts

Please explain the connotation here? Have you asked the gentleman who said it if there was any racist intent?

No, lot of us would not. The only thing the ref got right last night was yellow cards after the 30 man handbags bundle.

Same should be for off the pitch. look up the vlog that Lenny mentioned. You can see exactly what their players were like. Fully goading the home fans even early on after they scored.
Don't dish it out if you cant take it.

If someone said that to our players I wouldn't be bothered because it's not racist as it wasn't directed at an individual(s) with one charachteristic

what about the crap our so called supporters throw each week at the officials if they get it wrong.......should we ban them as well, glass houses and stones

I hope you never throw any abuse or comments at the officials
