Tyreik, if you read this, I too think racism is awful and want to say you’re very welcome at Aston Villa and I hope you have an excellent career. And as an Irish person I look forward to seeing you in green in the coming years, even if you are from Cork. Don’t let the views of a tiny minority put you off. Google it mate one the more vile racists rants Ive seen. The person who wrote it doesn't deserve to breathe.

Zatman Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Scumbags, not read it fully but its disgraceful but it seems to be the In thing at the moment. Cowards wouldnt say it to him or any of the others faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I made the mistake if reading it, worse than I expected though the level of English was nearly as bad as the racism Pity as i think he should be on a high after making his breakthrough in senior football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Just seen it as well. Scumbag is the only word. I'd love to see what these people would say in a room on their own to the person that they are abusing. I actually think that it is important to read it. It reminds you that this problem is definitely there. Not made up as some people would have you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I've started to realise that alot of these little cretins are just reaching for their 15 mins of fame. This is a hot topic now, so they know it's the way to get the attention and adrenaline rush they crave. Might be time to stop the kneeling as some other players have suggested and stand tall, maybe do a Black Panther fist to piss them off even more. I commented on Facebook that it wouldn't surprise me if some of these clowns weren't even actually racist, just adrenaline junkies getting their fix. Winding people up on social media is a new contactless, anonymous sport. For me, personally, this sort of thing doesn't get to me. However, I worry for the mental health of some of these young, fragile kids of colour . The agenda might be having the opposite effect, as you know " rebelling " is so " cool " for kids 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the idea of the raised fist protest though. You've got a point, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the phenomenon though. To be honest, I'm well aware of just how retarded some of these kids are, social media is a new drug. You've got kids licking toilets and swallowing washing powder etc. I've received messages like that from Football groups as well. Laughing it off proper winds them up.

VillaChris Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Any racial abuse is completely wrong and not justified which goes without saying but what baffles me here is those who've wrongly recieved it in recent times are massively in the public eye e.g. Rashford, Martial and the countless other premier league players in last few months who have that visibility. How on earth is someone who's never played for us and has played about two games for Walsall getting it as he's hardly on the radar for 99.9% of the country. Unless it's someone from his past who has issues with him. Also saw he was tentatively linked with Celtic a few weeks back so perhaps a very odd Rangers fan giving him ammo already. It's all very sad isn't it. Young lads trying to make his first big steps in the game getting it now. Dear me. Almost like a list that sick people are making of every black player in the country and working their way slowly through their social media accounts.

Hopefully, he is tracked down arrested and punished accordingly. For countries like the UK a right to anonymity is nonsense but you've also got to consider countries where anonymity equals the only way to exercise your right to free speech, and also very likely avoids you being tracked down, captured by the powers that be and never seen again but that is a bit of a different topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I realise its a can of worms, and you then start asking who can see the ownership of an account and under what circumstances. Always then going to be one person that finds those circumstances acceptable and another that won't. Alas, this scumbag needs to be found and have their fingers chopped off. Or some less medieval punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It really is about time these Social media companies were helping weed out fools like this. All i see when i read comments like that is the person who wrote it, who should be traceable if the Social Media companies pulled their weight, having put a great big flashing neon light hat with a big red down arrow on it pointing down at himself and identifying himself as having serious mental health issues.

Only avoided that as we don't know their gender, although I'm almost certain your guess is correct. Assumed they had fingers and didn't voice record their abuse also, based on the atrocious use of shorthand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For social media companies this kind of thing is acceptable collateral. They could require people to provide identification when creating accounts but this would obviously dent their profits and userbase numbers. Of course social media isn't the root of the problem but it does encourage vile cretins to write stuff they probably wouldnt say face to face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the punishment for such stuff in England? I know it will vary from case to case, but generally speaking. Is it taken lightly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
