    Well who'd have thought it the "whistle blower" gets whistle blown the very man who rightly criticised fellow team mates for racist comment/language actually did the same with regards ant-semitic comments :

    I've not seen or heard a mention of it on TV, you have to wonder why, maybe his apology is adequate.

    Doesn't mean what has happened to him is right.

    Surely his manager/PR team should have gone through his old posts before all this hit the news

    Surely both being racist comments it deserves as much air time as the Yorkshire incidents.
    I never said it did, I just find it a little strange its not getting similar TV exposure that his Yorkshire EX team mates are getting just because he may have only made the one comment it was racist and equally as distasteful.

    One or 21 its uncalled for and as my original point people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, if he is going to make a point about the bad treatment he received at Yorkshire he should have made sure nothing could come back he had quoted in the past.

    but the actions of a group will always get more airtime than one person. The alternative would be five same airtime for every incident, so if he has abused 100 times then that should bet 100 times more airtime

    Is it true that he's received £200,000 because of the racism?

    If it is true perhaps he could make a donation to a Jewish charitable organisation or maybe the Jewish Council for racial equality?

    That would certainly add meat to the bones of the hollow sounding apology.

    Nah. I was about to change it before I thought about it a little more. I decided I preferred the original 'People who live in green houses' since it better reflects a certain control of the English language. :)

    Hope she doesn't live in a mud hut. I'd imagine the perma-steam coming out of her ears would melt the roof in no time.

    In fact, I think I've just stumbled upon a solution to free, green energy.

    haha

    Tell you what Bronco me and you are made of the opposite side of the cloth.

    Where was your post last week before the comments about jews came out calling out YCC for their institutional racism? Do you have a problem with him calling them out? Because when I read his anti semitic comments I too was thinking silly lad. But I also knew there would now be white guys online trying to equalise the racism and discredit his original claim.

    Do you want him to get back in his place and shut up? is that it?

    Not at all those responsible should be named and shamed as should Azeem Rafiq.

    Where have I mentioned Rafiq should shut up, when he rightly accused the Yorkshire players of racist comments maybe he should have quoted he once did it but regrets it, rather than the media questioning him with regards a anti sematic comment he made.

    Your certainly correct with your first comment maybe we see more eye to eye with regards Bradford City then again maybe not.

    I'm not condoning what allegedly happened but his treatment at Yorkshire was so bad he came back for a 2nd spell!

    He said he felt forced to in order to feed his family. Its part of the reason institutional racism is a problem as people fear losing their jobs.

    I'm not condoning it either just pointing out we now know he is not lilly white with regards racist comments, the press will be crawling all over his past comments lets hope he has only made the one Anti sematic post.
