What the fact that not only are they all racists but they're a bunch of grasses as well.

[Albion] Burnley fan charged with racially abusing Gaetan Bong
- Thread starter Papa Lazarou
- Start date
Let's be clear about one thing: it's absolutely rightly.
If there is any chance of racism being stamped out then it HAS to be reported where it is believed it has happened, to allow an investigation to take place.
Tell me: If Rodriguez had been found guilty, do you believe there are elements of your support who would still abuse Bong, even though it had been proven that he was racially abused?

No, he shouldn't have kept quiet. I should have put it slightly differently from "he caused trouble" - but the result of Rodriguez' stupid comments, whatever they may have been, and Bong's reporting of them, however accurate he may have been, was trouble for Rodriguez.
Burnley fans, no doubt out of bias for our own man, believe that Bong was mistaken (and no doubt a few believe he was lying). Brighton fans, no doubt out of bias for your own man, believe he wasn't mistaken (and no doubt a few believe he couldn't possibly have been mistaken).
That's a load of crap and you know it

For Bong to report it, he must have known how difficult it would be, but still he had the courage to report it. It would've been far easier to ignore it, and hope he didn't hear anything else, but that way nothing ever changes.
I hope every person who is abused, whether racially, homophobically, sexist or any other type of discrimination continues to report it. It's the only way it will eventually be stamped out.
F#ck Off - That comment is actually worse than some of the stuff I have heard on the subject. And here is me advocating to let it all rest and then you make a comment like that.
This is my last post on this subject but based on those 6 words you used on the subject mate ''you so need to be educated in evolution in race issues over the last 40 - 50 years'' - I can only assume you are no older than in your early 20s

I did. Please read my post. Reporting abuse is not causing trouble, either rightly or wrongly.

I don't mean "rightly or wrongly" whether he should of reported it, but "rightly or wrongly" whether Rodriguez actually said what Bong thinks he said.
But yes, there are elements of our support who would still abuse Bong even if Rodriguez was proven guilty beyond doubt, but that would more likely be because (as Saturday's arrests imply) not all our fans are squeaky clean. As I say, they will get a life ban if convicted.

The poster was not condoning or condemning.
I look forward to hearing their defence for which the incredulity will only be matched by its outlandishness.
A great example set by the older bloke. Dad?
Funny that they will have to come all the way back down for court appearances. A copper recently told me that really grates with defendants from other parts of the country. What a shame.

Just about sum up Burnley FC in a nutshell.
I do hope there is a reception committee of sorts waiting for them on the 14th of March...

This 100%. The Police would absolutely not waste their time, unless there was decent independent evidence that a crime had been committed.

I don't think it does, no.
I think Burnley's squad being predominantly, or entirely, white says more about their recruitment than it does about their town or its inhabitants ie they buy players who they need irrespective of their skin colour.
If we're using the ethnic make-up of a squad as indicative of the town the club finds itself in then our squad on Saturday was made up of, roughly, 27% BAME players yet Brighton & Hove, as of the 2011 census, is 80.5% white with the rest made up of:
8.5% Other White
3.7% Mixed Race
3% Asian
1.5% Black
1.1% Chinese
0.8% Arab
2.1% Other
Interestingly the 2011 census also has Burnley as 87% white, not far off from our glorious utopia.
I can only think of Aaron Lennon recently who's put on a Burnley shirt but I think he's gone back to Everton.
The poor guy was suffering with depression before he headed to that dump.

Just as a note - not that it makes any of this any better...
It was the 18 yr old who has been charged with racism - it would appear his dad is just a loud mouth aggressive toss pot who when his son was being ejected from the ground, kicked off about it.
