What were the "statements issued by him and on his behalf by his various PR and legal advisors" referred to in Bong's statement?

Thanks. I'm not a twitter follower, so it's good to see the chronology and actual words.

Indeed it is probably worse in legal terms. Calling people racists is not discriminatory - more of an accusation and a supportive comment against racism (could be slanderous). Pikey is effectively a pejorative term for gypsies - and some sections of the gypsy community are classed as a race...

Do you have a link to Bong's tweet that you're referring to?

That's not it at all. The article says that two different callers rang TalkSport and Radio 5 Live to report the monkey chants. Don't you think that it's right that the allegations are followed up? Nor does the article say that Brighton officials have gone to the press, or made a 'loud and...

No - the difference is in the detail. The FA went on in their statement to make it quite clear that they considered Bong had acted in complete good faith. That is - they didn't 'not believe him', they could not really make a decision either way. If they had intended JR to be 'cleared', they...

Okay - let's take it that you and a few around you booed Bong (all game) because of an alleged statement he made after the verdict (which it turns out he didn't - it was an official club statement). But you have to admit that many others weren't booing him for the reason you were (see earlier...

Thanks for that. Not social media as folk keep referring to then. Not surprised - if they can't understand the difference between 'not proven' and 'the other bloke lied'; then they're not going to understand the difference between a twitter comment and an official club statement!

I live up north. It's pockets of problems rather than the whole of 'the north'. There will be equal problems 'down south' in some areas.

Most times players get booed, it dies out fairly early on in the game. It's quite rare for a player to be booed for every touch throughout the whole game - and the fact that Bong was must mean that it was something really serious in your fans' opinion. And you're saying this is all because...

These references in there to Bong going on social media after the decision calling JR a racist. I'm not on twitter or anything - but did he actually do this at all? Or is it actually the BHA / bong statement referenced earlier that they're referring to?
