C4mmy31 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 What an absolute scumbag, the author deserves everything coming their way...... No Royal Mail due to todays bank holiday, so if if was recieved this morning it has to be hand delivered. They would be extremely lucky to dodge all the CCTV around RP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 That 'fan' will have loved Dyer's contributions when Steve Clarke was smashing teams left, right and centre. What a scumbag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not a Kilmarnock supporter IMO. Barely qualify as a human being IMO, hope whoever did it gets caught and made to face the consequences of their abhorrent actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Utter scumbag. Hope they get named and shamed and that the supposed fan doesnt darken the door of any football club in this country ever again. Genuinely dont know what goes through peoples heads. There are seemingly a number of legit reasons to think Dyer isnt the best manager. But imagine being that thick that you bring his skin colour in to it. Fud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody younger writes racist letters, they rely on the power of the Internet to demonstrate their lack of intelligence. You'd assume they felt a sudden urge to be racist and thought it through enough to decide a letter was harder to trace back to them than using their FB/Twitter profile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Imagine taking the time to find some paper, and a pen, writing out a letter with racist abuse in it, sealing it in an envelope, sticking a stamp on it, taking the time to go to a postbox and actually sending the letter and at no point stopping to think that it was a terrible, scummy idea. Fingers crossed they are identified and banned for life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Now I’m going to choose my words very carefully as the issue of racism is bigger than whether we finish 4th or 11th. From a football results point of view this letter leaves the club in a position where, if they were thinking about it, sacking the manager now is going to either lead to accusations of giving in to racists or being racist themselves. As a fan who personally wants Dyer to be replaced this disgusting event has made that less of a possibility than it was a week ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says "taking racism seriously" quite like using it for a pointscoring exercise. I was angry but not surprised to read about this yesterday - there are some absolute weapons in our support and it was probably inevitable that one of them would do something like this at some point once the going got tough. Most of our support have probably given up on Dyer as a manager, but it was good to see everyone rallying round him as a human being last night. He is a fantastic guy who is absolutely trying his best for the club right now - the fact that he isn't a very good manager doesn't have anything to do with his race. Hopefully the police can work out who was responsible and they won't darken the door of Rugby Park or any other stadium in Scotland again. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidestepping the fact that the person sending this is clearly a cretin, I think you are right here. It forces the club's hand a little in retaining him longer simply because they don't wish to be seen pandering to idiots. While not a like for like, the Lennon protests by Celtic fans is another example where unacceptable behaviour rarely, if ever, gets the results those perpetrating it desire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibsFan Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 What is it about Kilmarnock managers and people not being able to spell their names correctly? Malky's left the SFA otherwise we might've found the source. I won't use the word amateurish but certainly unprofessional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4mmy31 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Police Scotland are investigating DNA swabs from a racist letter that was sent to Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer, while the club are working with the force to identify the individuals involved.... They are obviously going all out to catch this scumbag and rightly so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Calling Dyer Alec would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. I had a conversation with a German colleague a few weeks ago about how there are folks in parts of Ayrshire who are still surprised when they see carts without horses. This, unfortunately, provides more evidence for my case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lennon/Celtic example is exactly what I was thinking about as I typed it. The positive news is that the players will hopefully rally around the manager and maybe give a bit extra. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
