Barrfields_Largs Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 According to the Ardeer statement at least one Ardeer player overheard the comments.Greenock players have no option but to support their mate and Ardeer players the same.Given what I' ve read about this and what I witnessed in the game at Ardeer I know who I believe Like I said I wasn't saying it didn't happen, just that the players didn't hear it. Like I said they could've been at the other end of the pitch or on the bench or whatever. As it happens they do have an option if they did hear it. As far as I'm aware, none of my friends are racist but I wouldn't defend them if they were. Also It's good to see one of our players supporting the boy at Ardeer.

kris cross Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I see the Daily Record has got a hold of the story http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/football-racism-row-spat-being-5198981 From reading the Daily record and in my mind, The boy in question basically called the referee a liar. Does this mean the referee is also being subject to a racial abuse accusation also with the comments the boy made? I don't know either boy just asking a question since the lad basically said this " I passed the ball away and went straight to the ref and I asked if he’d heard what had been said. “The referee didn’t have any control of the game, he said he heard nothing but I believe he did. The racial remark was shouted at me and other players heard it. “As soon as the ref denied hearing it I asked to be substituted as this has never happened to me before in a competitive match" And before you do ask me, yes i do not tolerate this sort of behaviour and shouldn't matter what colour of skin we all have.

I think it's more of a "the referee heard it but didn't do anything out of convenience" sort of sentence. I don't think he's saying the ref is racist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying but Greenock players who commented that it didn't happen shouldn' t be saying it didn't happen just because they didn't actually hear it themselves.

Mon The Candy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sigh...no,it's not because your opinion differs from mine,it's because it's at variance with the opinions of most rational and right-thinking people,both on and off this forum and could only have been posted by someone who is a ).trolling,or b)..in urgent need of professional help. Incidentally,how did that time spent at Edinburgh Uni work out for you? edinburgh uni? wtf?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitburn exile Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Can't believe some of the comments on this thread. Bottom line is discrimination on any grounds is not acceptable. To those who say ignore it you are wrong comments needs to be challanged and appropriate action taken. What is dissapointing is that the club have not put out any statement stating irrespective of the outcome of investigation that they are against discrimination of any kind. If this was my club I would expect them to do that at the very least and possibly suspend the player whilst investigating any allaged incident.

mowgli Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Innocent till proven guilty , wait till the investigation is done then judge people, use all jump right in and have your opinion without giving people a chance. If he did do it he will get dealt with accordingly but If it is not proven then a lot of apologies are gonna be needed as this will ruin a persons image.
