I’m sure all the Preston fans will still be laughing at his ears-cupped celebration now. What a clever move.
And how admirable has Hannibal been throughout? Full continued support to him of course.

Lets hope for his sake he never plays at the Turf. Be interesting to see if he appeals and if so what he states

Surely this man,if found guilty, should get a banning order,for committing a offense inside a football ground in front of 20000 witnesses,if any Burnley fan had done it they would be banned,what's the difference?

If he is found guilty I think that him and Preston club should then be found guilty of trying to incite the Burnley fans . Then he would get a criminal conviction and a further ban and Preston would get a fine for not controlling there players

No surprise to see their fans on twitter and Facebook are still passionately defending him and making it out like Hannibal is the problem for having the audacity to expose racism on the field. Horrible club.

Just football tribalism West Brom and we did the same for Jay, all Bong did was report what he thought was racism and he was booed to the rafters every time he played against us!

It’s certainly more believable than saying “bad man”.

Presumably, now that he has been charged, the FA have investigated, got all the statements and videos etc and believe there is a case to answer?

Hannibal has been a credit to himself, although I must add that he doesn't appear to have been at the levels he was at since the incident

Has he been found guilty?
I thought the process was they charge him based on the statements taken and he gets the opportunity to dispute it with his teams evidence? Might be totally wrong and not understanding the process but I thought that’s what I heard on the radio earlier

The point isn’t whether Jay was guilty or not, it’s that a lot of Burnley fans booed a player for reporting what he believed to be racist abuse.

Let's face it, IF he's found guilty, then their fans will still defend him.
Football tribalism is pathetic.

Just because he has been charged doesn't mean that he is guilty. I think that he is btw but that is only my opinion based on the circumstantial evidence.
Hannibal's reaction, Osmajic claiming that he said 'bad man' and his previous form of biting lead me to believe he is guilty.
However as there appears to be no other corroborating evidence such as a witness or clear video evidence of what Osmajic said I would reluctantly clear him.
It is a very dangerous precedent that is set when someone is found guilty based on the balance of probability rather than beyond reasonable doubt.
He will probably be found guilty because a poster put on here a month or so ago that the FA works on the balance of probability. When it is something as serious as this I don't think that the FA should use that as their guidance.

Surely the FA wouldn’t charge a player when it’s one guy’s word against another and you would have thought that they’d have sufficient video evidence as using other people as witnesses isn’t foolproof on a crowded football ground and things can easily be misheard.

Happen they booed Bong because they thought he made up the accusation to get Jay Rod in trouble.

Completely different scenarios as Jays was clear as day on TV/video that he said his breath smelt, from the first moment you saw the clip you knew it wasn't racist.
Bong had made it up.

Even if there was proof that Rodriguez hadn’t racially abused Bong, which there wasn’t, it’s quite a leap to claim that Bong had made it up. And booing him for reporting what he thought was racist abuse is as stupid as the PNE fans who would boo Hannibal.

Not about what is more believable a Burnley fan will always believe a Burnley players account same as any teams fans. It is purely about A foreign player reported what he thought was racism and in the case of Bong Burnley fans booed him for doing it and in this case the Preston fans would do the same.
I have no idea what the truth is and it is very possible that he said what Hannibal thinks he said, but what is so unbelievable about a foreigner who doesn’t speak good English saying bad man? If it was a native/ good English speaker there would be no argument!

No he wasn’t the result was not proven as there wasn’t enough evidence to prove him guilty or innocent. I don’t think what he said was ever doubted it was the context that it was meant in that was questioned.

Mate Bong didn’t make it up it was clear it was his belief that Jay meant it in a racist manner.

Each to their own.
One person’s account matched the exact movements he made at the time.
The other is claiming he said something that no footballer has ever said to another footballer at any level of football, in the history of football.

You missed a bit of what I said there was not enough evidence to prove him guilty or innocent, result was not proven. As it happens I believe Jays said but that isn’t the point it is the reaction of Burnley fans to this is as bad as Brighton’s fans were with Jay and the reaction of Preston’s fans here is as Brad as the Burnley/ West Brom fans at the time.
Some of us are saying that he is guilty already when he could be innocent and Preston fans are sticking up for someone who could be guilty of racism both are the wirst side of football fans

PNE still one step short of Liverpool’s shenanigans wearing T-Shirts to support Suarez, who openly admitted he had called Evra ‘negrito’.
Osmajic clearly of the same characteristic volition as Suarez and hopefully receives a similar length ban.

I've always thought that Jay probably did some rhyming of Bong and Pong, just a little bit of 'unconscious racism' as it is sometimes known. No racist offence intended. Just A stab in the dark, but my guesswork.

We'll never know for certain regarding jay & bong & this incident regarding hannibal. The concept of deciding things on the balance of probability doesn't sit comfortably with me because I like things to be decided on a 100% basis not he said this & he said that. If you have irrefutable evidence show it & charge him.

Negrito isn’t racism in South American culture.
