Murraysrightplum Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Anyone notice right before half time (46 mins or so) JET had a little run into the box and lost the ball behind for a goal kick. The Tamworth lot gave him some stick for it, and the JET turned round pretty angrily and said something that sounded like "You're racist" or "you racist ****" (couldn't quite make it out). Then I clearly heard someone shout "aaaaaaaahhhhhhh, you're black" Something definitely went on there, judging by JET's angry reaction and what I heard. Anyone still got it on Sky+?

Murraysrightplum Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 What is always puzzling is that their team has several black lads in as well, surely they can't be that moronic not to notice that? Or maybe they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murraysrightplum Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Definitely heard the word black. No idea who they 'support' but as they were in the home end I'm not sure what else to call them?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Dastardly Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 None of the stuff I'm hearing about Tamworth be it the baiting of the commentators, the racist abuse or the cheap and drunken cheerfulness of another defeat really surprises me. I worked there for a while. It's a very backward, primitive place verging on the neanderthal. Typical unattractive mixture of arrogance, bigotry and paranoia.

WTFiGO!?! Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 They seemed to be giving him a lot of abuse for his off-target efforts in the first half and I'd just said I'd love it if he bangs one in from 40 yards and hey-presto! Surprised he didn't give it the old cupped ears in front of them. Definitely remember seeing him shouting indiscriminately about something but no idea what. Surely there'd have been a complaint put in if there was racist abuse going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Given that as far as I'm aware neither JET or the club has made any complaint or even commented on this alleged remark, I think we should all be very careful before we accuse Tamworth fan(s) of making rcaist remarks. As another poster said it is possible something different but similar sounding was said, and I for one wouldn't be happy at being labelled a racist without hard evidence.

pride of the west Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I seen him shout **** off but i thought that was just down to frustration after a poor shot. He shouts that alot after poor shots ive noticed. If there was racism im sure it would have been reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murraysrightplum Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 When he shouted F off was a different time I think. The one I'm talking about was right before half time and he clearly turned quickly round to the crowd like he was reacting to something and shouted something back at them that sounded like "you racist". Pretty sure it wasn't F off though I agree we should be cautious about what we accuse people of (that's why I didn't put the word racist in the thread title), and I'm hopeful if there was racist abuse JET would have reported it - maybe he didn't care(?) Someone definitely said "Ahhh you're black" though. I rewound it and listened again and it wasn't "you're crap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Roper Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Didnt hear it at the game but did later on recording ,just after JET missed with a free kick they were singing to him effing useless .Always a dangerous thing to do to a class act like him ,smacked in the goal just after .

Murraysrightplum Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well it is stating the obvious and probably JET couldn't give 2 shits if someone called him black, But the argument is there that if you are pointing out someone's colour in an obvious derogatory way then it is racist. If someone shouted ahhh you're white at me I wouldn't care, but I'm not sure it's quite the same thing. Anyway don't want to get into a discussion about what's racist and what's not as it's been done to death before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire Dastardly Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 It is surely no coincidence that the most significant person who came from Tamworth was one Sir Robert Peel. He was of course the man who found it necessary to invent the police who were then nicknamed "bobbies" in recognition of this act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
