If it was another player there would be some sort of a discussion about the content of what was said. The fact there hasn't really been that and there seems to be a strong focus on shutting down the debate with things like 'no more needs to be said' and 'close the thread' says a lot.
I think there's some fans that are a bit ignorant and love Dabo from the league 1 days, but I think for some others they know how bad he's become and are just uncomfortable about it.
The attitude has been one of the biggest concerns from the FGR fans and when he's coming out and saying he thinks he can play in the Premier League, some one does need to have a word. That doesn't mean it should be played on the radio, but he's obviously making enough waves to have caused some serious angst.
