Harry Kinnear Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Clearly made up by Lang and the rest of the BoD to deflect attention then. Get a grip.Wind your fucking neck in. Where have I said that it didn't happen. I have stated a fact that two people I know who were in the main stand on Saturday never heard a thing. Also being at the game I could see that it was a very small section that contained Falkirk fans and many on FB have stated that stand tickets were only sold to season ticket holders so it shouldn't be too hard to identify the fans that were there and speak to them to ascertain if they have heard anything.Is that clear enough for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody on here thinks what was said to Dennon was acceptable. It’s bloody disgusting but to say 79% of us are like that is shocking. It is disgusting to say 79% of Falkirk fans are scum and anyone who says such a thing should be ashamed of themselves. I prefer "21% of Falkirk fans aren't scum" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Pretty scummy behaviour from the person responsible. I was in the main stand and never heard a peep. There were plenty of Falkirk and Stenny fans sitting along one another, and in the hospitality. It was all very pleasant, through gritted teeth after the match, naturally. Surprised it didn't come out at the time to be honest. These kind of things are usually gossiped about after the match behind closed doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to make out it's been made up.Where have I said once that he made it up or even suggested that. I have stated a fact that two folk I know who were there never heard any racist abuse directed at Lewis. There may have been others who did hear it and given the facts1. Very few Falkirk fans in the main stand2. Tickets only sold to season ticket holders3. The club were recording details of fans buying ticketsThis should not be too difficult for the club to identify those involved. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Those responsible - disgrace. The board for piggy backing a “don’t give us or the players the stick they deserve” line off the back of a very serious matter is nearly as bad. Getting close to chucking it. What a fucking shit show. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has any information in connection with this please get in touch in full confidence” Nothing more was needed at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell obviously isn’t chuffed that most of the fans (rightly) want him hunted. I have heard nothing at games, or read anything online, that would warrant that sort of public statement. An absolute disgrace. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Really sad that some people's first instinct is to question whether the abuse actually took place.Also really sad for you to suggest your support is not racist after the abuse multiple supporters dished out to Hippo.The actions of this moron on Saturday is unacceptable and a life ban and criminal prosecution is needed. However the actions on Saturday in no way excuse Dunfermline’s racist vermin either and it’s ridiculous to try to link the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking shit show. Totally with you on this. No idea what's been said, but I doubt it's invented. I'm also not buying the "If people heard it they'd have MMA'd the fan instantly " line. Most folks keep their heads down to avoid confrontation. Completely unacceptable from whichever Neanderthal has gone down that road. and hopefully a lifetime ban as well as any criminal conviction. Don't ever want to share a stadium with racists. But that club statement. Conflating a serious isolated incident around alleged racist abuse at the weekend, which is a serious police matter, with unsubstantiated insinuations of this being part of something more sinister vis a vis the squad and club officials as a whole is despicable in my view. Horrendous and yet another PR disaster this season, which creates a them and us mentality. I think the fans have been reasonably behaved this season given the disaster it's been.

port-ton Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 In all seriousness, there already seemed to be a divide between the club, players and fans that can easily take years to fix while looking forward to years of mediocrity and despair during that period. This incident and the subsequent board statement could be the nail in the coffin on any chance of getting through this disastrous season with your head above water at a time going in to January when everyone should be pulling together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerthewitness Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Why does the statement advise witnesses to contact the club and not the police? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stand is seven rows deep. The Stenhousemuir and Falkirk fans were sitting together. Why was this incident not being talked about in hospitality or in the wee bar after the game? Did no-one there actually hear this? I mean, look at the indignation, and quite rightly too, being shown here tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
