whats the point of apologising for an injustice to coventry on a Wednesday forum?...I did it because it makes me feel better and to show fans of your club all Wednesday fans aren't like the moron at Hillsborough, if you don't want to accept it in the manner its meant, fair enough, I ain't got a problem, I've simply done what I thought was right, and I feel better for it
I guess if it's anything like the films you have to go and present yourself at a police station at 3pm on a Saturday. I think that might have been a couple of films about Italian hooliganism I watched though.
Coventry condemn racist abuse of Fankaty Dabo following defeat to Luton | Coventry City | The Guardian
The defender was sent ‘abhorrent’ messages after his penalty miss and the club have said they will take action against the perpetrators
@Mcbean - That's a fantastic shout. If the club itself are not allowed to wear the kit, what a great message of support it would be for Palmer to see 4,000 Cov fans wearing 2 tone. Would be great if this could be championed by the movers and shakers amongst our support to publicise the idea and get some real momentum behind the idea.

Was that out fans? I thought it was international fans like in the WC. Shocking if it was ours. Did anyone get banned?
Somebody I know VERY well, had to present themselves to Little Park Street nick every Saturday at 3.00PM after the Portsmouth shenanigans in 2001.
They were on bail though, not sure if it applies to banning orders.

A man who sent a racist message to Brentford FC player Ivan Toney was recently handed a 3-year football banning order, as well as a 4-month suspended sentence. Whilst this...

I think it is relying on police and other security to keep an eye out for and identify the subjects of a ban, so there are flaws
what’s the point of apologising on here either - oh sorry you’ve said, it’s to make you feel better
as long as you’re ok
by the way, as I’ve said it wasn’t one ‘moron’ it was many….
I think we all realise that most of your fans aren’t like that, and it’s a shame you could gain a reputation worse than that you may already have for having a problem with racism - let’s leave it at that shall we
Yea I'm ok...thanks for asking,..It makes me feel better, you might think that trite or selfish, but I care about how the club I've followed 60 odd years looks like, as for "reputations"...There are very few clubs of any size that are whiter than white mate....simply because of the numbers that follow themwhat’s the point of apologising on here either - oh sorry you’ve said, it’s to make you feel better

but yep...i'm happy to leave it at that.
ignore him mate - if it was the other way round I would feel exactly the same urge to apologise even though you personally have absolutely nothing to apologise for.
I just hope nothing escalates and ends up worst on Friday, although i imagine its highly unlikely it will.
You lads have done wonders to sell out Friday mate....Kops closed I'll be in The South, theres no interest in the F.A cup, its all about survival up here at the minute...I hope it goes well on Friday, but I ain't holding my breath, be glad when its over
You've apologised, no real need for you to be here now.
Sorry but this "matey football family" palaver is horrible.

Ban me then mate...If it concerns my club, I'll say my piece...if not you won't hear a peep
…it’s all part of his healing process, don’t forget that!
even though surely concerning your club should be on your own forum you drip

I am mate...ive got a laptop that can do both at the same time....I also understand the phrase "Leave it at that" ..you seem to have an inordinate habit of not being able to do that.... you dimwit
Doesn't seem to have worked that Harry Potter...I'm still here apparently
Yeah I watch is home and away and have never heard it. Not even sure what it’s supposed to mean. Red card?
you clearly have a bigger issue if you only came on here to make yourself feel better and say sorry but yet you’re hanging around like a bad smell
what’s your problem? unless we’ve hit the crux where you said if it concerns your club you’ll say your piece - so you’re actually here to defend your club from the racist accusations?
you could take it many ways, particularly given what happened, but I’d prefer to think it just meant he was winding the crowd up and so they wanted him maybe substituted? or yeah red carded - not sure what for….didn’t think being racially abused was an offence
We'd rather you did
Like if he’d just two footed their man I could kind of get it. But just seemed like general “I don’t like this guy” chanting.
No other issues bar its about the club I support, you won't find me on your matchday threads...when this one dies I'll be out of here, until then as long as I'm allowed to post ...I'll post
Anyway mate , I like Wednesday and their fans in general sound .. big club big fanbase and both clubs been through the ringer ..
Cov and Wednesday fans have usually got on well , we were united in the grief of the supporters who died on their way back from our match almost 20 years ago ..
You don't have to apologise for the behaviour of a few knobheads , most people know its a minority, we all have them .
All the best

No, that wasn't the reason.
It was for you giving a sh1t reaction to me reacting in a kindly way to a post by a SW supporter who was showing us some common decency, which was nice to see.
No problems with Coventry fans mate, they been through the wringer more than most, must have been a right crock of shit, no ground etc, its a testament to support that you have dragged yourselves back, I admire that hard core support when a clubs on its uppers and its dragged back by sheer passion for the club you support.
Wednesday are no different, 2 decades of crap and fans still turning up, its what you do.
I simply came on here to try and say ALL Wednesday fans shouldn't be judged by the odd moron that follows them...Seems some see me as defending racism, If that was the case...I would be nowhere near your forum at the minute, nor would I be able to formulate an argument for those sort of actions, cos there isn't one
So Les Ferdinand was just fishing for 'likes' when he said about taking the knee being the same?
I would hope it's common sense that all fans know it's only a minority of supporters of all clubs that think it's okay to go down the route of obscene chanting and racism towards players. Coventry City are no different . Not that long ago I attended an away match at Notts County . Can't remember if it was league 1 or 2 ( for Cov fans we lost 2-1 and Ponticelli scored for us late on ). A group of about 6 City fans in their 20s near me were shouting abuse and using the "n" word throughout the match towards County players . Utterly disgusting. We were near the front. The players would have heard it.
Judging by that thread on OWLSTALK it's Wednesday fans this fella should be speaking to and not us.
I'm less shocked that some our fans are wankers than Ponticelli scored!!
