Very true, it has been reported for goodness sake, let due process procede. So many self righteous folks on this thread led by the usual protagonists.
You miss the point. We are a family club. We don't want kids listen to this kind of thing. It pleases me the seriousness with which some of the posters are taking.

He doesn’t miss the point at all. It’s being investigated and we should let due process decide

So it becomes a subject that we can’t talk about ? I don’t know who was involved in any way so it’s hardly affecting due process is it ?

Exactly. It's very relevant especially in the world of football. It is also relevant to this forum. I also object to his assertion that those who care are self righteous.

I don't associate our club and fans with racism and never have, I hope any reading on here from other clubs understand this is a very rare incident.

What are you talking about. I’m not saying we can’t talk about it just saying let due process take place.

Since when are you of all people the arbiter of what’s right and wrong. You have driven people off this board. Unbelievable

What? Have you been on the Buckie ?

I’m stating that I’m glad that someone had the stones and the morality to report what they heard. Whether it’s going to lead to a conviction is a matter for the authorities.

The point is that this should be addressed. I’m not the arbiter of right and wrong. Dry those big salty tears.

What are you talking about big salty tears?

You don’t consider some of the stuff you post on her an issue - you have no regard for peoples feelings then suddenly you’re evangelical

As I understand it you v rarely attend games anyway

Complete tool

I hope there is a proper process and proportionate sanction if proven

There’s a difference between disagreeing and bruising someone’s ego and racist abuse. Are you really comparing the two ? One is illegal and the other isn’t for a start.

As for the abuse etc. Didn’t you just call me a tool? Moral high ground lost there. Duh

This thread is really getting out of hand, commenting re racial abuse then proceeding to abuse each other.
If racial abuse was not so serious the situation would be laughable.

Let due process take its course, we then move on.

The purpose of this post was to highlight an issue in the ground on Saturday of alleged racial abuse towards one of our players by one of our fans.

It then progressed to a good debate about how society is changing its attitudes and peoples thought and now has been derailed into personal abuse which, I can only speak for myself, find incredibly tiresome and infantile.

Let's get back on topic

We all agree on this forum racism has no part in society, and any remarks or action must be acted upon, but yet again from a opinion or view, we turn it into a poster bashing contest.
I am beginning to think we are losing the point RACISM KICK IT OUT ,
P-S yorkstag i never thought a simple no to racism could evoke so many posts from bellyboy, but having a go is his nature

Excuse me ? I wasn’t the one dishing the abuse. Talk about prejudging. Not that I care a jot.

Maybe look back and see who started this thread and who was the one that got in a twist.

Maybe then come back and posts a jumble of words that no one understands

Well, blow me, I have just realised what you remind me of. It’s intrigued me for a couple of days.

You remember them Action Man figures you used to get when you were a kid - you know, the ones from the 1970s. There was the Gripping Hands one, the Eagle Eyes one and the one you most remind me of, the one were you used to pull a cord in his back and he would repeat the same phrase each and every time.

The only difference between you and the Action Man figure is by changing the distance you pulled the cord out, you could actually vary what the Action Man figure said.

However, with you, it doesn’t matter how far the cord is pulled out, the message doesn’t vary. I guess I will just have to accept that Action Man had a wider repertoire than you you seem to have.

Finally, when do you think we will be able to debate it following on from the ‘due process taking its course’ ? Can you answer that now or do you need some time to ponder/mull it over, and then communicate it to everyone ? I only ask, since I will probably want to put the date on me calendar you see.

Aw, don’t go all snowflakey on me.

I am only having a little bit of fun with you and ‘infusing’ a little modicum of gentle, friendly and good natured teasing. Please do not take it to heart my friend. I am sure you have the best intentions.

After all, we have just had to endure 18 months of loss, sickness and stress caused by the pandemic, so we all need to introduce a little bit of light hearted fun into our lives.

Btw - whatever happened to Action Man ?
