If he’s been charged there must be some proof.

No place for it in the game.

absolutely shocking by the FA, another reason to push supporter's away from the game footballs vastly becoming an embarrassment and laughing stock especially the premier league

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 5:45 pm

Charged.

Doesn't mean he's guilty. It may just be that once the allegation was made, it has to be looked at. Could just be a misunderstanding.

Jay just never came across like that, so i'm refusing to believe it.

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 5:46 pm

I dare say it's still Bong's word against Jay's. I'm not having it in a million years.

What detail could have come to light in the time elapsed?
Seems odd.

I’ve got a horrible feeling that the ‘you stink’ gesture will be deemed as racist.

FA charges are always upheld, they've already found him guilty.

Has never seemed the type but the FA have to be 'seen' to be clamping down on this sort of behaviour. Would seem there's very little evidence though apart from ones word against the other. Shame for him as well because he was looking to get back to his best.

Does seem like an over-correction by the FA in light of recent public scrutiny over its governance.

The very fact that the charge comes so long after the initial incident suggests to me that there's reason for it to be taken seriously. Whether it's a complete misunderstanding or not is another matter.

Regardless of who Jay Rod is, he's a human being and capable of saying something stupid in the heat of the moment, and if that's what's happened then he should be punished accordingly. If it's a misunderstanding, then I hope it gets rectified and his name cleared.

Is everyone on here sticking up for him just because he's a Burnley lad and ex Burnley player? That's not really a reason to immediately defend someone. See what happens.

Bong must be a big blouse, in my opinion.
If someone tells you they think you stink get some deoderant, and don't assume it's a race thing

Is that exactly what was said though? Or are we just assuming that based on the gesture that was made to him?

Then it's fair to assume that either could be true.

He could have said something racist, or he could have made a gesture that the other player has taken to mean something else.

Storm in a tea cup, IMO.
It happens all over the world.
If someone offered me the chance to become a multi-millionaire but possibly having to endure the odd insult I'd take it.
when i was younger I travelled extensively around Europe, everyone gets a bit of good natured racist jibes when in a foreign country, it's no big deal.

This is the FA tho Paul. It’s not like they are the HSE or anything.

The only way they will find him guilty is if they are an incompetent bunch of clueless, misguided, ...... oh. Hang on. I see your point.

Jay Rod has always seemed like a nice lad, but I’ve never met him and I’ve no idea what evidence the FA have.

It’ll all come out with the verdict. If the recent Wenger charge is anything to go by, they supply comprehensive details of the allegations and evidence.

Let’s wait and see.

My take on this is Bong took offence to Jay's gesture and concocted a stink.

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 8:33 pm

The video I've seen Jay doesn't speak.
He gets Bong in his face gobbing off and then holds his nose and wafts his hand.
For all we know Bong might have had double garlic for his pre-match or he could be insinuating your talking sh1t but I don't see anything racist at all and I wouldn't back him if I did.

Not sure he should be expected to prove his innocence; it is up to them to prove on the balance of probabilities that he is guilty
