ha'way, he's bang to rights! i'll concede there could well be a scenario where someone gets done for racism and they're innocent, but not in this case.
The fact is that it would be highly unlikely to have someone convicted in a court of law with just eye witness evidence against them, and the same should apply in cases such as photographic evidence. For example, if people sitting in the vacinity of the accused were to testify that he was using racist language and gestures, then that would strengthen the case against him.
I'm not meaning to be flippant here because I hate racists and think anyone who comes out with racist abuse at the SoL should be banned for life. However, I think the lad's explanation is quite good. I mean, it's a lot less farcical than John Terry's, and he got off
ive been called an english bastard in scotland and wales a gouilo inhong kong and a white monkey in the phillipines so in my opinion its something you have to accept or it would send you crazy, saying all this i hate racsism in any shape or form.
Like most on here I don't get racists at football clubs as the vast majority of said clubs have black or foreign players so basically you are being racist towards your own players. As for this muppet he will get banned, for how long will depend on the club as he will not have a high class lawyer to argue or cheat his way out of it. One thing I have noticed about this latest spate of "monkey gestures" towards black/coloured players they are all one person in the crowd and they all look the same when the cameraman has "managed luckily" to get that killer shot. Maybe I'm being suspicious here but, this lad doesn't seem the brightest and may have been coerced into something, doesn't make it an excuse though and a ban will be dished out.
Ever considered being nicer to people? You sound near universally hated. Agree with the sentiment though.
He might have been imitating Peter reid's on his back, but this is getting ridiculous now it seems the slightest thing now and the press are straight onto it. You would think by now supporters would have 'grown up' and know this is not the mid 1970's. The next thing will be supporters getting done for calling the ref and then half the stadiums will be empty by full time !.
While I hate blatent racism, a lot of this is PC bollox. If I call someone a cheeky monkey or ask the ice cream man for monkey's blood on my ****ing cornet, am I a racist? In some ****ers eyes, yes I am. The PC brigade should be sent to Rwanda. ****ers.
Exactly.. One thing I have found in recent times though personal experience at work with staff and customers and many times on TV, is the "it's just because I'm black" bullshit. Now, Yes it's so wrong to use words/gestures as rasicm but just as bad to use it in defence.
Yes, lets put the random idiot making stupid noises and faces on the front page, ban him and send him to prison. Of course he's public enemy number 1! I really doubt that anyone saw it other than the cameras. People just look at footage for someone doing something stupid. If he's saying things like "******" and "black bastard" then yes, people should be banned, but you shouldn't be making the odd person making a stupid noise into a ****ing criminal.
He quite clearly went to the match after calling into B&Q for his wallpaper and hadn't noticed he had put all the rolls down.
I have a female friend, Dawn, who hails from the Birmingham area. Her grandparents came over here on the Windrush in the 50's from the West Indies. She works in the public sector & it infuriates the lass how people get promoted purely on skin colour. She laughs & takes the piss out of the PC **** stains too.
Mr RAWhite is bang on the money! Have you's all seen the Steven Fletcher photo of him doing the exact same action as this supporter when he scored a goal? The photo is doing the rounds.
Wog, ******, yid, honkey, paki, they are only words. If thine eye offend thee then pluck them out. It's only offensive if it offends you.
