Matt, I know you've swerved my previous questions twice (not sure why, they were reasonable questions), so I'll limit this, my last post on the subject, to just a comment to you. You can intellectualise, 'whatabout' etc until you're blue (or claret) in the face, but the simple fact is that you...

The last part of my sentence was tongue-in-cheek. Nice attempt at deflection though, no one is denying both our clubs have idiots (not that I've seen anyway), lots of people saying (rightly) that your club have a lot of classless-at-best fans who like nothing better than booing a black player...

I think the apt response for this sort of thing is 'Doh!'

Ah, thanks. I suppose if several fans reported it it adds a bit more weight, can't imagine anyone being petty or stupid enough to create a conspiracy.

For the record, I'm hoping the allegations are found as false too, I'm depressed enough with humanity at the moment as it is.

Haha, very good...................... ;-)

Don't be silly, if you were near enough you could audibly pick it out very easily.

And so are you, secretly ;-) I'm winking a lot today, must be all that vitamin-D I'm getting.

I don't know, but the conventional monkey chant is a staccato 'oo-oo-oo', not a long 'ooooooo' that you'd get as part of a 'booooo'. Jeez, I can't believe I've just had to type that!

I'm guessing you're not an expert on monkey impersonations.

Just need to wait and see what the investigation turns up (if anything). IF it did happen it is likely to have been just one or a very small number of people, in which case it it would have probably only been heard by those nearby. Fair play then if it turns out anyone who reported it was a...

I thought you were too pissed to even know who was playing? ;-)

There are, I know one of them, and his words were "really awful to see". Shame that the Burnley fans who have posted on here can't / won't just accept that fact. They have been banging on about context yet completely missing the central point regarding context, i.e. - the booing didn't have to...

It's a tricky one for sure. Unlike criminal courts the FA Panel are not there to judge a defendant as being guilty or not guilty, they are there to try and establish, based on the burden of proof available, whether a case can be proved or not, and then apply an appropriate sanction. This does...

With all the media attention this is getting again it'll be interesting to see how the Man Utd fans behave on Friday night. Let's hope they show a lot more class than their Lancastrian neighbors.

Another little of piece of me just died.

This is what freedom of speech in the 21st Century looks like. I'm afraid I find myself becoming more elitist every day when faced with this level of ****wittery. Being an ignorant but opinionated **** is now a national pastime.

It's a shame there isn't a 'spot the brain cell' test before being allowed a Twitter account.

Whatever some Burnley fans try to claim as justification for what happened Saturday, for me this is just another example of, as John Simm's character in Collateral put it, "what a nasty little country we've turned into". That's not restricted just to Burnley of course, not restricted to Northern...

But as I asked you earlier, which you haven't answered - on reflection do you honestly believe your reasons justify booing a player for the whole game? It just doesn't stack up, no-one is that indignant on someone else's behalf unless there's more to it. The fact is there was a large proportion...
