  • Chelsea-esque behaviour

    Tom. If you seek to assert that racism is the sole preserve of Chelsea supporters you are ignoring the extent of racism elsewhere. Chelsea are no worse than any other side (and no better).

  • Stupid but not unexpected. A lot of Burnley fans have a bit of a strange love-in with Rodriguez, they were singing his name when he was playing for the opposition the other week. A lot of fans grew up with him and know him and were adamant that he wouldn't make those comments.

    The claim is, although many won't be convinced, that this wasn't in reaction to the initial charge but Bong's refusal to let it lie after the FA had found Rodriguez not guilty (his comments in the paper afterwards were along the lines of I know what I heard and I did not mishear). That ties in with stuff I saw on social media from Burnley fans before the match but is obviously a nuance that is pretty difficult to get across with some half-witted booing.

    Whether or not that is the case, it was pretty fucking stupid on a day when the attention should have been on Burnley qualifying for Europe next season.
