WalthamOwl Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Let’s hope FF can now put this behind him, get back to full fitness and start smashing in the goals for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Let’s also hope the club learn their lesson and don’t play these types of teams in friendlies in the future, clubs that see it as their cup final.

DobbinTheDonkey Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Why would the judge think he said it? Did the judge do a bit racial profiling himself. After all FF is a Latin American? New headline. Judge thinks because Forestieri is from Latin America he probably said, after all they have form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Agree with an earlier post. Time to put an end to 'friendlies' against teams of roughouses with a chip on their shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of comment bothers me and the fact it’s been upvoted so much. As innocent as it seems it creates divide and fuels hate. The perception that the ‘race card’ is a common thing and used by a person to get their own way is just ridiculous. I see comments like this on social media all the time. As with anything there will be a few select idiots who do actually lie and try to use race to gain an advantage in any given situation. It’s tossed around in a way to suggest people use it and enjoy doing so. With regards to what FF did it didn’t say. We will never know the truth. If the Mansfield player did lie then he’s an utter prat and deserves to be punished. I’m 100% not accusing FF of saying what he’s been accused of, but I ask why would anyone drag him to court, have months of stress (stressful for FF too), risk a huge backlash, put so much time and effort into something if he didn’t believe he was racially abused. The alleged victim gains nothing. A lot of comments on threads like these are often a worry. Today’s thread has been a decent read and mature for the most part. However there are always posts playing down the importance of stomping out racist abuse, making comparisons to other criminal acts and down playing it. A big problem is abuse in any form can lead to worse crimes further down the line. Whatever anyone’s opinion or thoughts about this case. Racism is disgusting and a growing problem in this country. It’s sickening for people to put others down and feel superior because of the colour of their skin, whatever race you are. @alanharper I apologise it appears I’m getting at you. I went off on a tangent, the only part that applies to you is the race card comment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzlebeak Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Complete waste of the courts time. Mansfield Just wanted 15 minutes of fame.

Pablo Bonvin Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I’m glad it’s all over with. Hope he can move on now. And imagine if he had been found guilty. The pigs would have been in for him in the blink of an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racism IS disgusting, but so are comments and thoughts that are racist against white people too, also those racist comments that are fabricated in order to make out someone is racist. Those are absolutely the worst comments ever, but never get addressed. Edited March 28, 2019 by HarryPlopper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
