So nothing can be said for actually waiting to see the results of the investigation and then talking about it on here??
Here on a technicality.

False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
Stephen Kenny on newstalk said he didn't say anything about Pats fans...
he made the allegation on the radio show that a racist comment was made by a rovers player and that it was pre-meditated.
Derry can expect a letter from a south dublin solicitors office in the next few days.
Some of the teams in this league might let that kind of shi* go, but We Are Rovers and that will not be let go.
The various gypo's in the dubbalin meedja have their own agenda also.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
in fairness to Rovers, you love writing letters.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I betcha this doesn't happen

A letter.... wow.
Who gives a **** who you are, if one of your players is found guilty of racial abuse, then there isnt a letter in the world from no solicitor that can change that
So are these guys
You must be new here
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
You'd think after over 800 posts I would no how things work around here, Just thought maybe this one time people might actually wait and see are the claims true before berating clubs fans and player
I'm so naive

Ah, fatal mistake there.

debate happens with all issues, accusations and rumours that are put up here no matter who the clubs are. Get over it.

OK, I see where the confusion is. I was responding to the people in here who were saying the FAI would never pass a judgement against their Model Club, as if there's no way there could just not be enough evidence to take action against the player. I'm saying the FAI can only make a judgement if it's backed by a significant weight of evidence, just like the Evening Herald or any other newspaper would need the weight of evidence to protect it from legal claims (although you're right that a newspaper would have a much higher burden of proof due to our draconian and anti-press freedom libel laws).
OK, you realise that "totally dismissing the fact that this may have happened" and "holding yer hands up and saying that its a possibility" aren't actually the same thing, right?
Really?
Glad that's that settled then. You wouldn't happen to be confusing obviously with I'm choosing to believe by any chance?

That's not true. Many many rape cases have no physical evidence. While it's far harder to get a conviction, it does happen on a one person vs another's word. It's based on things like believability e.g if the person charged is caught lying, abili etc, or caught out confusing the story he gave.
Most rape cases come down to one person vs another and if the victim is believable enough to pass reasonable doubt etc.
But yeah, once they follow their own procedures the FAI can pretty much do whatever they want, in sanctioning players within the game
According to The Sun this whole big hullabaloo is because somebody called Zayed "Gaddafi"
Maybe that fits the PC interpretation of racist abuse but jesus christ Zayed would want to grow a set of balls. Crying racism in a case like this does the cause no good at all and deflects attention away from real racial discrimination that happens in Irish society which is a very serious problem that needs to be stamped out.
Its largely irrelevant if Boco did indeed accept an apology or not.
This is not about personal feelings being hurt, this is alot larger than that.
If it was just a bit of banter and slagging between the two of them, then no problem, who doesnt do that.
But it was a malicious comment in a hostile context about his ethnicity.
That is far bigger than one mans feelings, that is a slur against alot of other people, including some who go to our games.
Rovers have done alot of good work participating in cross community initiatives with teams from Globe House etc and that work just seems irrelevant when we all just dismiss Mc Guiness's comments as some personal abuse.
Maybe I cant move on, I just see Rovers as better than this since it has always been an inclusive club, look at people like Johnny Chada.If you cant move on thats your problem, no-one elses, and has nothing to do with the club.
