Not seen such Bravery!
We can believe Bong of course, but the FA will have to find some additional evidence from the officials or other witnesses, TV microphones or cameras etc. otherwise it'll go unpunished, won't it ?

That's pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever read on here.

I think this is right. Whilst we have to believe and investigate Bong's claim completely and get to the bottom of exactly what was said, this is someone's career we are talking about here. It's not impossible Bong misinterpreted. Obviously if it's proven that Bong heard correctly then throw the book at Rodriguez and I will have zero sympathy with him but serious allegations demand serious investigation.
Also seems unlikely Bong would make it up. It’s a mystery.
I have a girlfriend whos name rhymes with 'yes'. Whenever we are out she thinks people are calling her name even though they are just responding to friends.
If he has told bong- you stink or have got bad breatg then clearly it's not. Whereas if it's your black & you ... then it is.
If i heard someone shouting something illegal (not immoral), i would ask them to shut it 1st (&warn them)& if they continued then i would report them

I apologise if my post offended anybody as it wasnt intended it was a light hearted comment and obviously I come from a different era to most so what they see as being racist I do not consider it to be so. So if appropriate mods please remove it. I fully accept that it could have been said in a malicious and offensive manner.

Maybe he said “you're a full back and you stink.”
GB was not the worst of the team yesterday but frankly they all stank.
Yes.
Whilst I hope we all back our player by believing him, any FA investigation would need more evidence than just his testimony in order to punish him.
However, Rodriguez clearly insulted the man so he does not have my sympathy.
BG - I cannot believe I am reading a defence like that on any football forum never mind a Brighton Football Forum given what happened.
It is ****ing disgusting set of words to phrase together and should not be in anyone's vocabulary in this day and age. What on earth will a statement like that say to the current and younger Generations within football. You have made some guff statements but everyone is entitled to an opinion but that opinion really ISNT acceptable and often I come to you defence on here but wow, that comment has totally ''floored'' me

Roll up, roll up, get your anger and outrage out here.
It will be investigated and Rodriguez will state that, “yes I did say his breath smelt because he put his face up close to me and said blah blah blah”
No proof of racism will be found and Rodriguez may at worst get a ungentlemanly conduct charge against himself. What penalty that brings I don’t know.
Anyway can we trust Bong after he attacked Lukaku’s boot with his bollocks that time.

Let’s wait and see what the investigation brings out, I won’t judge anyone until the facts come to light.

If people consider it to be rasict please read post no 50.
Whatever was said by Rodriguez it was clearly offensive and insulting and I dont think that is in dispute.
If he said what Bong alleges and it can be proved then it should obviously be dealt with severely.
I do not believe that Bong is the type of person who would make something like this up but obviously my knowledge of Bong as a person is extremely limited but he does not come across as someone who would do such a thing.
However what we should bear in mind is that English is not Bong's first language. Rodriguez might even have a strong Lancastrian accent which is where he is from. Taking those two considerations into account there is every possibility that Bong simply misunderstood. In a way I hope he did.
