I think we're both partly right. There is a distinction between a hate incident and a hate crime, which is nicely explained rlhere.rl

Either way, I hope that we prove today that what happened at Cas was the exception to the rule and that any idiots who do choose to taunt Thomas are dealt with by the people around them.

Let us hope that no one collects the ball in their in goal area, wouldn't like a BBC commentator to make a comment

'He has received it behind the posts'

even worse if someone makes a suggestion that Thomas is covering at the rear

Decent try from Thomas. Well worked and finished.
