    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.
