I agree alf that the FA issuing this statement implicates that the Burnley fans were guilty of racist behaviour on Saturday when all they were doing was booing an opposition player whose views and actions they did not agree with. Strange that Murphy was also booed but there hasn't been any statement or complaint about that.

Shows how shallow some folk are when labelling everything with the pathetic Racist comment, like Sub says, it was booing for Bongs constant after facts that nothing was proven, yet Bong is still airing his views and expects (along with the FA and everyone else) that everyone should not show their feelings, its utter bollox and does not address the situation which is par for the course with the FA.

I don’t think I have seen a single poster saying Bong was not right to take his case to an FA Tribunal. His accusation was found not proven. He appears then in the light of that verdict to have gone to the press and slated Rodriguez not just to be a racist but a liar to boot. The booing was I think in response to that escalation. It is time a line was drawn under this.

A line will not be drawn under many things Outwood while this PC nonsense and the Racism card is being over used by too many people, its ridiculous and shows a lack of maturity let alone common sense.

The line should have been drawn by the FA. They have utterly failed to do that and as a a result this may get worse.

I have a statement to make to the FA. You continue to find booing Bong unacceptable, and I shall continue to boo Bong every time I see him play. Fair enough ?

The FA cannot tell 20,000 football fans what they think is "acceptable" or not.

Our stance on Saturday might stop other players of any colour, creed or religion from playing the "race" card.

I hope so!

The FAs Respect programme does just that BT. Clubs sign up to it and there are penalties for breaches. Apparently Bong has complained someone was making monkey noises when he took a throw in, and police are investigating.
None of this does our Fair Play situation any good either.
We need to let this go and let Jay fight his own battles, or not if that’s what he chooses.
Jay did wrong by holding his nose whatever he said.
In a heat of the moment, he said v he said fight, with no evidence or witnesses to support either person, this is going no where and the more we stir it up the longer it runs benefitting no one, not Jay whose name is dragged back in the mud, not the club whose few hundred or thousand? fans chose to bully a person who believes he heard right, and not Bong who was a victim of bullying if nothing else and most importantly not our club which will get very bad PR from whatever happens.

If Jay signs for us, next season's games between the Clarets and the Seagulls should be belters!
