[Albion] Bong being abused all game.

[8th battalion East Lancs]

Great point. I guess that proves me and a lot of your own fans wrong.

Yes that's correct.

But 'a lot of our fans'?

You'll be meaning just two at the most.

You should be grateful for those 2 fans.

Proof there's always a silver lining.

It's okay, there's more than two narrow minded Brighton bigots on this thread.

It's like you have to be black to get any love around here.

It's like you have to be black to get any love around here.

Well done. You've basically admitted to what we have been claiming.

 

[Easy 10]

It's quite clear that you and many others on here (this thread) aren't interested in the truth, so there's nothing I can say that will change the bigoted views.

Which part of his post isn't true? Let's try all of it.

From the blowing smoke up your arses, to it was the quietest we've been this season (he hasn't been to many matches)

From he wasn't surprised about the Bong accusations because Rodders was brought up in Burnley, to Britain First flags hanging all over the place in certain parts of town.

From mentioning a UKIP councillor, to saying that Dyche lives in the past.

He's either one of our sad bed wetters or a Blackburn fan. I'll go with the latter.

Not that you'll lose any sleep over it, but I thought you were quite a decent poster. Till this.

If you want to condone an opposition player getting DOGS abuse all afternoon from your fans for reporting what he heard as racist abuse (from an ex-player) then that's your lookout. Fact is, nobody knows except GB and JR exactly what was said. But you are promoting an environment whereby someone who has been racially abused on the pitch is just better off keeping schtum. Because unless there is cast-iron proof, all they can expect is to have MORE abuse, rained down on them from the stands.

Like I say, none of us know what was said. But it was such a minor tangle on the pitch that led to JR's childish mouth-covered reaction, so I do find it difficult to believe GB would've felt moved to escalate it to a formal complaint such as this without genuine grounds to do so, but we will never know.

What I DO know is that the Burnley fans who decided to abuse him all afternoon off the back of this, are complete and utter filth.

 

[Tweeting Seagull]

The thing that depresses me most about this is listening to Burnley fans like Pamala on 606 and. And you know what. Despite thier ignorance, they still gets a vote. Wow.

Strange isn't it that a Burnley fan should be upset at a thread calling the entire people of a town racist/filth and various other abusive comments.

You don't do irony on here.

What a ****ing boring tit you are mate. You need to have a good long look at yourself.

Trolling a BHA forum might make your tiny dick hard but, frankly, nothing you say impresses. If you are happy with your shitty little life of racism and making a nuisance of yourself then go ahead and amuse your pals with it.you are a bellend of the highest order. Get thee gone.

So you thought you'd come on here and post this::

"We" booed Bong because he accused one of our own as being racist.
.

Only black or ethnic minorities deserve respect as human beings, and not thousands of other people in the town who are classed a racist.

PS we're not the only ones who make claims your town/club has a very high percentage of racists. Why don't you troll all the other football forums to see for yourself.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

So you thought you'd come on here and post this::

Yeah. He did.

What a humongous tithead. Mind you, for all the joy he’s had baiting some “shandy drinking queers” it’s probably life affirming.

Burnley: tattooed up and shitters to a man.

Watch out! He'll probably post something racist now as a means of getting you back.

 

[Stato]

He's no different to when John Terry, Ashley Cole, Owen Coyle etc got booed at our place.

He is different in quite a significant way. Your fans knew that Cole, Terry and Coyle had actually done whatever made them worthy of being booed. The investigation has stated categorically that Bong had not done what you were booing him for. He didn't make a malicious complaint.

Those who chose to boo prejudged the situation because they viewed one of the two people involved as an insider to be believed and protected and another as an outsider to be mistrusted and targeted. This was nothing to do with Burnley v Brighton, this was a group of people saying to one man: 'You are a liar or a cheat who has contempt for the honour of a fellow professional.' 'The reason for us coming to this conclusion is because the other man is 'One of our own' and you are not.' A pretty perfect example of a position being taken on the basis of prejudice.

The booing may not have been racially motivated, but a largely white crowd targeting a black man who, at worst, has felt himself to have been racially abused and reported it in good faith was pretty racially insensitive. Chris Hughton used the word 'shameful' and it's a very well chosen word. Football crowds in this country, Brighton included, have a pretty shameful past when it comes to their treatment of black professionals. We individuals may not have been personally involved in the historical wrongs, but we represent football now and need to show sensitivity and make whatever effort is necessary to right those wrongs and make today's sport undeniably inclusive.

It is difficult for respect and personal empathy to play a part when partisan loyalties are so fierce, but we are all individuals, able to assess our own motivations and responsible for the impact of our behaviour on others. In matters related to football, it is often the case that the only motivation we can find for our positions is based on loyalty to our own teams. This is not a good enough motivation to warrant the expression of simplistic views about complicated matters. The booing achieved nothing good. It's impact upon an already difficult situation was an entirely negative one.

Erh? Even your own player (Andre Gray) had a dig at your fans for being racists.

Hardly a local rival.

He once said that red lipstick on a black woman was like jam on burnt toast.

And all homosexuals should be burnt.

It's all Burnley's fault.

Strange that you didn't notice the fact that I said "the Burnley fans who decided to abuse him all afternoon" - are filth. Not the entire town - just the ones who rained down abuse on our black player, who was brave enough to stand up and call out an incident where he felt he had been abused. And for that, you seem to think he deserved everything he got.

Nice one.

Was this whilst he was playing for Burnley?

This post wins the thread. Great post chap.

Now go to bed.

Strange that you'll never get it.

Keep pushing the 'black' thing. It certainly works on this forum.
