Racist Comment

Has any guilt be proven?

The Club CAN’T confirm what happened as “the Club” doesn’t know and isn’t the Law.

The speed that some jump on things before they have the remotest clue what happened is remarkable

IF a racist comment was made then the police will deal with it and the person will be guilty or innocent but some of you want a fan banning without due process having taken place.? Very odd from intelligent people
It's a fair point, as I mentioned earlier, there was something reported a few years against Coventry that came from the west, but again afaik it went quiet and no statement saying nothing proven is ever issued.

It doesn't mean something wasn't said but it also doesn't mean it was.

We seem to get these announcements but nothing after it which just leaves an allegation hanging. Was something misheard, we never seem to find out.

Exactly this 👍
 
Message to me from a mate who was right there, unlike you lot …..

“I went down in the second half when they lifted the poor bloke ,he was surrounded by three police and five stewards, he was upset, obviously the Police told me to do one , I said what has he done ?? They said we don’t know 😧 so I said why are you treating him like a terrorist, anyway Stacey the laison officer was spoken to after the game , the bloke was let on his way no case to answer it was all bull shit mate”



SO there we go…NO case to answer. Everyone on here loving getting in a right Froth and showing how anti racist they are ( aren’t 99.9% of folk) and it turns out Nothing has happened APART from some poor innocent bloke being traumatised and potentially getting his life ruined.

Some of you wanna catch yourselves on and Slow down a bit

so reading that was there no racist comment or that this bloke was wrongly accused?

Good to hear, but this thread sums up the agendas of many. Remember the Bez situation. 🙄

What agenda’s ?

The club put out a statement, Bloods mate says otherwise. Not conclusive either way I would say.

If a Wycombe player reported it, as confirmed by the club, I’d say it’s more likely to have happened than not. And I think we are all entitled to an opinion of our own without it being construed as being desperate not to appear racist.

So if the Wycombe player is to be believed, and why not, then yes, hope they do identify the pr*ck that made the remark.

let’s understand the Law a little…..

The chap they apprehended was clearly entirely innocent, the police let him go with no case to answer

That’s what is known.

as regards was there any racist comment in the stadium today who knows. We know a player thought he heard it (he will think that and he “may” be right or mistaken) and it appears that it has come to nothing via the law enforcement body, the police so that’s that

I’m probably being a but daft here because someone will accuse me of being racist in not condemning a racist insult that possibly didn’t even happen

The club statement is extremely poorly worded. I'll leave it at that.

The “Club” is only confirming what the player said Lala…..its not that he said it and the club are saying they heard it too.

You say “so if” the Wycombe player is to be believed…….I don’t think he’ll have made it up for a laugh But he could have been mistaken of course.

I’ll bet no one on here will say that it’s a terrible shame for the innocent man left visibly upset by having 3 Coppers and 5 Stewards surrounding him and taking him away

If an innocent man has been brought into this then of course that’s a shame. Nobody has named or shamed anyone on here.
If the comment was made, and we have no reason not to believe the Wycombe player at this point, then let’s hope the guilty fella is identified. Pretty much what any of us on here have said from the start.
 
Look at all the doo gooder yogurt knitters getting their collective Y Fronts into a not over something they didn't even hear

The hang them high liberal brigade aren't being very errr liberal

How about innocent until proven guilty eh
It’s staggering how intelligent people choose to not use any level of critical thinking or logic but just go into a sort of hate loop whenever certain trigger issues come up. You can feel the waves of hatred
 
So the bloke is ‘questioned’ under the stand, says he didn’t do it… but then the club issues a statement???
The club statement is poor tbh. No “allegedly”, No “a player heard a racist comment” etc……just basically accepts it 100% happened with no investigation, no due process ……

Btw I don’t think the player just made it up. He may have misheard something though, he may have been mistaken but no doubt he thought he heard something …and he may be right …..it’s down to the Police to investigate if they see fit

I believe the Wycombe player believes he heard something but in the absence of any actual evidence or an identified and charged suspect then there is no “guilty fella”

Correct but because the player in question was black its assumed that any abuse he may have heard is automatically racist and the club are part to blame for this with that statement which has obviously been rushed out without any proper investigation
 


“Poor post. The incident was reported. The half time announcement asked people at the grou.d to report what they had seen and to condemn racist comments. After that it lies with the Police to follow it up.

Who is saying any more than that?”

YOU WERE ASKING ME WHO WAS SAYING MORE THAN THAT…Plenty were as you know

So you coming back with your “not me” response is very weak.

There was no need to put out anything at all but if they wanted to then keep it factual and assumption free. Now people are quoting “the club confirmed it”…….nothing at all has been confirmed whatsoever

I've read your post about being there when the person was 'lifted.' I wasn't but my post was factual. How you interpret it is up to you.

The Wycombe players statement is evidence at this point. People were merely stating ‘yes, let’s call it out and if they identify a culprit he needs some kind of punishment.’
Nobody on here has accused any specific individual. The club put out a statement asking for info and stating what has been reported and we reacted with our thoughts. That’s quite normal in my opinion. You almost spun that as making out people who wanted to call it out were the racists as they protesteth too much.
Now the thread has become divisive, when we were all really singing from the same hymn sheet, and rightly so.

You need to go back and read the posts people made before I even saw the thread

Knew I’d be called divisive or some such (tripe) and now you accuse ME of calling people racists Lala…….utter nonsense 😂

I post my honest simple thoughts and have no agenda, no need to prove myself, no chip on my shoulder etc etc.

Innocent Bloke has been surrounded by 8 members of officialdom in front of loads of other people and traumatised and so forth ……that part no one is interested in

Its his opinion on what he thought he heard in a crowd of 9,000 people

From what i heard the person who got spoken to didn't say anything racist, that's his evidence, as is the law in this country one is innocent until proven guilty

Not the other way round no matter how much mock outrage is being shown on this thread

You said you were suspicious of people who go out of their way to call out racist behaviour. Pointing the finger yourself, at others in the thread.
Most of us are honest posters without an agenda and without chips on our shoulders, not just your good self.

You have a massive issue with what happened to the innocent bloke, fair play, no problem with that. A lot of us have a big issue with the racist comment also, so let us express them without trying to cut down the thread I say.

I have no idea regarding the person who was accused. I haven’t commented on him. I expressed a desire to identify who did make the comments.
I believe the comments were made as reported. It’s your opinion if you believe otherwise.

I never really clocked this till the dark days of lockdowns, mask wearing and some people more than happy for fellow Blackpool fans to miss matches or lose their jobs if they didn’t get a jab (they didn’t need).

People that articulate themselves well on here just blindly munching up whatever old bollocks they'd seen in the Sun or GMTV.

Similar thing has happened here. They can’t wait to be outraged by something that might not actually be true. If you provide logic and rationale to it you’ll be labelled right wing or a conspiracy theorist.

Oooo let’s all stay silent then. That’s worked in the past 🤔

I believe the comments were made as reported. It’s your opinion if you believe otherwise.
You are saying racist comments were made and to be frank you have no idea if they were or not

Yet you appear to think it acceptably to throw these accusations around

The Club statement is equally as awful as some of the comments on this thread

I’m saying I believe the Wycombe player when he reported racist abuse. You’re saying you potentially don’t.
You are no more right to hold your viewpoint as I am mine.

I don’t have a “massive” issue with anything Lala.

You reveal something though when you say “a lot of US have a big issue with the racist comment”……….as if I wouldn’t were it true, as if 99.9% of people wouldn’t have an issue with it if it were true

Why do you think there are a substantial number people that ARE racist and it needs US to call them to account?

As I said earlier I never need to say I’m anti racism because it would be like saying I’m anti Murder or anti Rape or anti child abuse…it’s so obvious for the vast vast majority of people that you’d only need to point out if you were in favour of any of the above

And btw I ain’t looking to argue with you personally and to get you revved up. I ain’t on a wind up, I’m being dead straight
 
Oooo let’s all stay silent then. That’s worked in the past 🤔
Glad you remembered the mask wearing shouts 😷

But back on to today.

We don’t know what’s happened do we? I was at the other end of the ground.

What stand were you in?

A Coventry player said he’d been racially abused by someone in the West back in 2021 and nothing came of it. Who knows what’s gone on.

Correct mate, that tends to be the playbook …luckily I don’t care 👍
