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.

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.

Does hubby always send you in to fight his battles?

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 ?

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.

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

Don't be daft - it's "funny" and "banter" to sing songs about players getting raped in the showers, being paedophiles, homosexuals and wife beaters.

At least it is if you're a member of the "Barmy Army" apparently.
