Absolutely the worst I've heard in person. Nothing even comes close tbh

Well its as simple as this, I don't believe you.
First point is, if you say its the worst you've heard then it suggests you've heard other incidents of it. Of all my years watching playing I've never heard a player giving another player racist abuse, nor would I ever expect to.
Also, around the period in question I recall a match between Dundalk and St Pats when I was in the shed and I didn't hear a single racist comment during the whole match. Now, obviously I can't rule out the possibility of somebody said something. However, after the match St Pats fans were tripping over themselves to catalog a list of racist abuse with some claiming that a particular player got racist abuse 'every single time he touched the ball', which I can absolutely say was a load of b@llix. However, your claim that you heard a player giving racist abuse is a new one.
Did you make this accusation at the time of the incident or did you make it up since?
Fine.
I've heard rascist abuse, just one the football field.Quote:

Ask over on www.saintsforum.net whether anyone else has memories of the incident? I guarantee you others willQuote:

You didn't hear, fair enough. But don't ****ing patronise meQuote:

I have to say in the most part that racist abuse is non exsistent in the Loi and its along time since I heard anything in the Showgrounds. The Bohs lad probably reacted after Boco made a fool of him for most of the game, well played Boco for winding him up....
Any idea of what sanctions Bohs imposed?

Bohs are said to have hit the player in question with a heavy fine and Fenlon believes that the requisite action has been taken.
I see the player in question was named during lunch. Reading Fenlon's comments don't come across well. It's bloody very serious matter.
Fenlon fined him & dropped him from the squad for last Friday. He also made him apologise to the player & Cook after the game. I think you'll find Fenlon is taking it serious.
Also I can't believe I'm typing this, but Roddy was right last night on MNS. Ringing up Curtis Fleming in Middlesborough for f**ks sake. Whole segment devoted to something where nobody even knows what the player said.
Why don't they ring Joey Ndo see how he treats him in training and the dressing room.
it's a disgrace the player should'nt be allowed play in this league again
Bohs confirm disciplinary action
Quote:
The club has made written submissions to the FAI Disciplinary Committee in relation to the Sligo incident. The committee will hold a hearing on the case on 6th May. The board of Bohemian FC states that this is the proper forum for adjudication of the evidence on this incident.
Bohs are dealing with it well IMO. Internal discipline and then hand the case over to the league. Its up to them if they further sanction is neccesary.
BURN HIM!!!!!
Burn him with FIRE!!!!!!
:rolleyes:
Read an interview with Clarence Seedorf in World Soccer once which was pretty much spot on with regards to racism in football.
Still, you'll always find enough people looking for a direction in which to wring their hands, furrow their brows and have a good long tut......
OK, the man misconducted himself in the heat of the moment, he aplogised directly after the game to the individual on the receiving end of the unacceptable comments.
Now if you can take off your anti-Bohs goggles for a minute , do you truly believe that he should be deprived of his livelhood against that background? We have had habitual cocaine users in the league who have not faced the type of sanction proposed by you.
By all means use the general issue as a stick to beat Bohs with, but continuing to ratchet up a campaign for an individual player to be put on the scrap heap and branded a "racist" is grossly unfair.
