Bristolatic Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I hope they find whoever this disgrace of a "supporter" is and ban him for life. No excuse for it and no defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris15Arm Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Cowards insult, no room for it in life. This will also throw the protests under the bus. After the pre season allegation and now this one, the country will look at our protests and say we are just bein racist or we are the bad guys.

maximus1267 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The problem with anything like this, for every 2/300 genuine supporters you get a small minority who ruin it for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won’t as they will also look at the decent majority (like us) condemning it are you suggesting Charlton, Blackpool or Bury didn’t have knuckle dragging racist idiots amongst their fan base? I’d bet my life they did and they didn’t hurt their protest issues one bit as it should be as nobs like that belong buried in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlion Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Probably a ploy by the club, make a song and dance about it, falls in with their stance of "the fans are trying to destroy the club" type of bollocks. Not saying it didn't happen, but they don't seem to object when I call the ref a ****ing tw*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even us on here, how many have said Leeds fans are thugs? Millwall too? City fans are glory hunters? Liverpool fans are thieves? Tranmere fans all on the dole? All because of a handful of fans from each club. If this gets any coverage then that will taint the whole fanbase. And if that happens we won't get favorable support over the protests. Especially if like another poster has said, the club use it as a ploy. Which I wouldnt be shocked at. I hope the club do release statements if any of the allegations are prosecuted saying its a minority and that gets the coverage. But this club doesn't shock me anymore so another kick in the balls wouldn't come as a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryowen Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 This behaviour is a disgrace and out the club in a poor light. I don’t think the genuine fanbase will be judged by those outside the club. I would add one thing. I wish the club was as eager to make official statements advertising tickets for away games.

Dave_Og Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Lots of things have diminished my feelings for our club over the last twenty years but no. 1 is still the sustained racist abuse aimed by our fans, and plenty of them, at Wayne Andrews when he played against us for Colchester.

But this club doesn't shock me anymore so another kick in the balls wouldn't come as a surprise Bit dramatic, every other day Sky Sports are reporting 'another racial incident'. It's not like this is an unusual occurrence, I'm sure it happens up and down the country every week. People know there are idiots at every club, it won't harm the protests one bit. It'll be chip-wrapper by next week, and the press are too busy reporting on Mendy being an alleged rapist to pay any attention to this. Here are two examples I quickly found from the past fortnight: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/american-football/swansea-player-subjected-to-racist-abuse-after-plymouth-cup-win/ar-AANJWPn https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/derby-racism-homophobic-jozwiak-peterborough-24762192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_latic Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 There's no place for and should be absolute zero tolerance to racism. I am not saying it didn't happen. But it just seems a funny coincidence that whenever there's bad publicity towards the owners. There tends to be a statement regarding a racist incident. Anthony Gerrard. The sponsors fall out. Fan's confrontation with Mo. The protests and talksport. Then we don't here anything after that or they are found to be unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stretch to class stereotyping people to associate them with a latics legend as racism, which generally requires negative impact. The Dale Boris might have a stronger claim to be offended.

Monty Burns Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 l reckon this defo happened. It's giving the club straws to clutch at and this uneducated idiot needs finding and educating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 The owners will probably jump on anything like this as a distraction from the protests, the flare on the pitch on Tuesday was an act of simplicity that also cheapened the show of dissent in my opinion. Our support need to be aware that whilst making their protests any misdemeanour which can be misconstrued by the club to devalue the real issues will be seized on.
