Have you ever been to Burnley? That's not a dig but a genuine question.

I think we’ve got a couple of regular Burnley contributors on here, I’d be interested to hear their take on this especially if they were there booing Bong themselves. What the thought process was.
Just two years ago they racially abused and were called out by their own player Andre Gray:

In a town which has returned BNP councillors.
It all becomes very clear.

Oh come on. Yes, it's true he was one of many at the fore front during the dark days but he didn't do it single handedly. Pull your tongue out of his arse.

Good point. They’re normally fair.
But this might be a sensitive subject, with their fans honour in question.

Nope. Never been there. Been to some of the other Greater Manchester towns but not Burnley.

Absolutely. I’d be surprised if they called their own fans out, we’ll see though.
This. He’s a ****ing dullard. As well as a bet welcher.

Both
a) because they were being racist (and knew they were).
b) but will use the latter to defend against such accusations and (rather ironically) just like the original dispute, it can’t be proven. Therefore, applying what could now be termed “Burnley logic”, this means they’re NOT GUILTY of any racism.
Which is why I think we ought to focus on facts that CAN be proven. Which includes Burnley fans admit to and are still (in 2018!!) chanting homophobic abuse and therefore we can all look forward to the FA charges on Monday

What a revolting expression and who said anything about single handedly? Idiot. And a disrespectful one at that.

..and you of course apparently since it would be "thick" to think otherwise.

I'm not sure what's more depressing, the small-minded and misguided vindictiveness of the Burnley boo-boys, the handful of throwbacks on here claiming all is fair in love and war, or the others on here who can't wait for any opportunity to further their bizarre vendetta against Attila. I think on balance it's the Burnley lot......just.
A serious discussion about Burnley’s reaction to Bong, and childish bitching about Attila resurfaces yet again. Some grudges last a lifetime it seems.

Some interesting views expressed in there, unfortunately the majority do themselves no favours. Hope for the future though as some said they were ashamed of what happened and the inevitable homophobic chanting that came with it.

Even if it was intended as the latter, it us still very much the former.

Who of ours was responsible for the “Town full of Pakis” chant they are claiming on that thread. Didn’t hear it myself.

And again a thread about Gaetan Bong getting verbal abuse descends into verbal abuse...
That was not sung. Outragoues claim.
I cant believe home fans on national radio openly admitted that there fans were chanting homophobic abuse and not one thing will
Be done about it.
The singing at the end was pretty entertaining and felt we got one up on them with each song back. ****ing horrible town.
I was worried i almost brought a street full of houses as i walked past on my contactless card.

It was absolutely shameful the mindset of some folk beggars belief
