Seriously , if one of our players had been accused of racial abuse , why would he not be entitled to our full support ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] "You're black and you stink" Rodriquez comment to Bong? - FA say not proven
- Thread starter El Presidente
- Start date
Saw the footage again last night. Two things stand out:
1. Bong's reaction and insistence with the ref make it pretty clear he was outraged by what he heard.
2. The hand gestures made (pinching nose, wafting hand under nose) end with a very brief gesture towards the mouth. Which may support the claim that the actual comments were about bad breath and just got heard wrong by Bong.

Football supporters, and clubs for that matter, are broadly the same.
If the situation were reversed (ie complaint raised, and no result from the FA yet)...
1. Albion fans would be defending our player with "He's not that sort of player - he's never shown that side before."
2. Some Albion players would be defending the player.
3. Chris Hughton would possibly have passed similar comment.
In short, people associated with our Albion would be doing and saying the things people connected with the other Albion are.
If our player was found guilty of racially abusing another player then I would expect all of the above to condemn them. I'm sure most connected with WBA would do likewise if Rodriguez is found guilty.

I agree bozza , but i want [MENTION=92]the right footed denilson[/MENTION] to tell me why he is so insistent that one of our players who brings an accusation of racial abuse, is entitled to our full support , yet one of our players who is accused of racial abuse , isnt ?

That was my first reaction too, then I realized he meant "would you defend our player", not "would you join in the abuse"! Yes, I'd support him in a fair trial, but not if subsequently found guilty.

Yes , it does , which is pretty much a given , i am asking [MENTION=92]the right footed denilson[/MENTION] why he differs from what most people think , surely you can see that , if so , why the questions ?

Where do you get this information from?
There really are some genuine nutjobs on this board.

Bobby Fisher is only quoted about the black power bit. The author states that Cunningham was selected for the game, alongside Fisher and Heppolette.
Are you saying that's not true? If so, can you show us the line up for that particular game?

Not sure it's him getting a vital fact wrong really. What is it you're trying to say anyway?

Now I'm confused. Is the author getting some facts from 44 years ago wrong, or Bobby Fisher?
Either way, what has this got to do with the Rodriguez/Bong incident being discussed here?
