Maybe I wasn't clear enough with my point.

I do not wish to discuss the facts of the case - sub judice and also it is Club business therefore I cannot comment - although I haven't been in work for 12 weeks so I don't "know" anything anyway.

My husband was called a racist last week for commenting on the somewhat "aggressive" nature of Ryan Bailey's style of play.

Leon Pryce is copping some serious flak but Stuart Reardon's hardly being mentioned.

Hmmmm.

He's injured and plays for a rubbish team that’s why!

I suspect the fact that Reardon doesn't have a previous conviction for a serious offence of violence and didn't avoid custody in circumstances where some (no doubt ill-informed) observers thought he ought not to, has something to do with it.

Exactly.

And in the same vein, some of us get frustrated by the apparent and often misread tackles that go flying in.

Ermintrude did not deserve that accusation last week.

He's no more racist than you lot giving Pryce some stick.

Pryce has started to help out "coaching" his local team again but this time its his sons team ( coincidence ? ) , Just like his community service last time

IIRC a number of Saints fans came on here calling Bailey a thug, cheap shot merchant, third man in etc. This despite him only recieving 1 yellow card throughout his career while other WHITE players with far worse disciplinary records dont receive half the vitriol Bailey does.

The only conclusion that could be reached was that it is because Bailey is black. Even when this was pointed out No one could come up with a counter argument.

Does hubby always send you in to fight his battles?

The relevant point is highlighted and is the main reason why the posts remained, we've always prided ourselves in a liberal attitude to opinion here and a rebuttal of an accusation such as the one which was made should be easy to make if you have the evidence to back up your original claim.

No one did.

Mainly because there is no evidence, just biased opinion.

Surely if all the nonsense was due to racism issues, then there would be far more than just Ryan Bailey getting stick from the Leeds side by all these 'racists' as well ?

I have made a photo but dont think i can post it as i may get banned for banter.

Only I’m unstoppable on Southstander.com! Its because it’s a moderators rule not to ban simple people you see!

Just a word of caution in whatever song you decide to sing. The more the fans goad and abuse Leon Pryce the better game he has. It happened when we played them at Knowsley Road and at Wakefield last week. We could without it this Sunday.

Maybe we should just stick to supporting and singing for own club rather than bothering about Leon Pryce.

Have you seen it on FB Damo?

I think banter is ok. Its the petty squabbles, name calling etc that develops because of it that will result in bannings.
