November 22, 200421 yr very strange considering the number of asians at blackburn games. only takes one though suppose...
November 22, 200421 yr whatever your viewpoints and beliefs, id be well embarressed if that was at our ground
November 22, 200421 yr watched the game didn't hear any racist abuse thought they just booed him cos he was an arrogant, lazy, big headed waster
November 22, 200421 yr according to todays news there were only 2 blacburn fans involved one was ejected / ban em for life i say ! [-X
November 22, 200421 yr Storm in a teacup. Like Casino stated, they were booing him for other reasons than his skin colour. If there were any people hurling racist abuse then it must have only been a couple of people.
November 22, 200421 yr very strange considering the number of asians at blackburn games. only takes one though suppose... Asians calling afro Caribbeans could still be construed as racist. It don't have to be skin colour
November 22, 200421 yr Yorke has always been a publicity seeking gary neville. He's probably pissed off about peter andre.
November 22, 200421 yr aye see what ya mean, my point was blackburm is more multi-cultural than most clubs anyway, so i thought the likelyhood would be less so?
November 22, 200421 yr Using my excellent lip reading skills it looked like the inbred fan called Yorke a fat bastard on Sky Sports News. Dwight probably went over and said "is it cos I is black".
November 22, 200421 yr Author the one i saw looked like he was trying to say that yorke was a monkey.
November 22, 200421 yr Just seen it ont news now and it was one mon doing monkey moves and another one giving him the fingers which I do not belive to be racialist. Hardly a fuckin epidemic is it, demic maybe.
November 23, 200421 yr David Gold's comments today very strange considering this was against one of his players. "if there were a couple of folk giving him grief when he warmed up, why didn't he go and warm up at the other end?"
November 23, 200421 yr David Gold's comments today very strange considering this was against one of his players. "if there were a couple of folk giving him grief when he warmed up, why didn't he go and warm up at the other end?" They were David "Porn King" Sullivan's words actually Mike. He's the chairman of Birmingham City plc. David Gold is chairman of the football club and he publicly backed Yorke over the situation. If anybody was abusing Yorke over the colour of his skin, then that's just pure laziness. I can think of loads of abuse to give him without once referring to his colour!

Out of order comments whoever made them!
November 23, 200421 yr I agree with racism being out of order, but I've heard the odd shout directed at 'coloured' players at the Reebok in the past............Andy Cole anyone? I also remember Mr DeFreitas getting it form his own fans in the paddock once upon a time :-$ It rarely happens, and it's dying out - so I can see why it's hands across the UK for Dwight Yorke................who's one of the biggest dickheads in football. PB Because I got high
November 24, 200421 yr Bet he regrets it now.... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-...1372840,00.html Football fan admits Yorke abuse Jason Perryman, a Blackburn Rovers supporter, has been given a five-year banning order, a ??1,000 fine and ordered to pay ??75 costs after admitting racially abusing Dwight Yorke, the Birmingham City footballer. Perryman, 22, directed monkey chants and gestures towards the forward as he warmed up on the touchline during the second half of the Premiership clash at Ewood Park on Sunday. The match was televised live on Sky Sports and footage showed an altercation between the player and the supporter. Perryman, of Chorley, Lancashire, admitted at Blackburn Magistrates Court to an offence of racially aggravated disorderly behaviour. He told the court he intends to apologise personally to Yorke in a letter. A second fan, David Ashcroft, 21, pleaded not guilty to a second charge.
November 24, 200421 yr OK - the fine'll hurt but it is tempered by the banning order - he won't have to watch that tripe for 5 years
November 24, 200421 yr thats bang out of order, a grand fine& five yr ban. Ferkin ridiculous if ya ask me, these liberal pufdars want executing. wots wrong wi monkey chanting any way, & as pb said it was directed at 1 of the biggest nobheads ever to play pro footie. toodle pip
November 24, 200421 yr If you actually watch Yorke complaining, he flaps his armes like a chicken, not immitate a monkey. So did they call him a chicken? That's animalist.
November 24, 200421 yr By the way.. This David Gold.... ...you wouldnt leave him with the kids would you? Hes got "the look".
November 24, 200421 yr By the way.. This David Gold.... ...you wouldnt leave him with the kids would you? Hes got "the look". Especially if he got these out:
