People like Trump, Farage, Bolsonaro in Brazil and various others around Europe have shown that "politicians" can freely espouse racist rhetoric and get away with it. This leads to the knuckle-draggers finding their voice, especially through the anonymity of (anti) social media.

Don’t forget the role the blonde mopheaded twat & his chums have played either

Whoever it is needs to be bought to book. Let's not kid ourselves that our club does not have our fair share of these types of neanderthals. 

Been a season ticket holder for over 30 years now ... primarily in the BRE but now East stand. I have experienced bigots in that time, some personal abuse too. I am proud of my religion and my appearance reflects that. I did not expect my ''headwear' to be the target for someone to aim vile comments from ''fellow'' BRE fans.

No, but why would anyone that isn't an Albion fan direct abuse at Sawyers? And it isn't like we don't have our fair share of neanderthals.

That makes for very sad reading RS. There really are some total twats about. All of the very best to you and yours chap.

This won't be a popular opinion on here (I'm used to that ) but let's be honest some of the OTT criticism that he's received on here this season hasn't exactly being very edifying. No it hasn't been racist but imo it has gone too far on occasion. Every miss placed pass, tackle not won is met with a barrage of posts angrily pillorying the player. He doesn't pick himself and even if he is out of his depth it doesn't warrant the zeal some seem to enjoy criticising him with. It doesn't take a huge leap of imagination to see that racist idiots will read and hear the criticism across social media and amongst friends and work colleagues and think that gives them some justification for their Neanderthal opinions. The rhetoric from some should be turned down a notch or two as it doesn't help the situation we are in as club and in turn fans.

I agree, Derek. It was Sam Johnstone before him and now they are begging, on knees , for him to stay. I made this point on twitter and just the other  evening, I also said the vitriol was pathetic. It doesn't take a lot to imagine, the next step from personal vitriol is racism, when the target of the vitriol is a non-white player or even a non-English player. So in this case, racist abuse, isn''t going to be far away.

Not wrong.

He isn't good enough, but I think after the Wolves game it was clear how much the club means to him. He is languid, it is something he himself has told young players to not be! However that isn't going to change now. 

I never get the point in sending any abuse to players directly anyway, let alone racist crap. Mind, I also think booing is moronic.

I know he has been crap in the prem, but this is an embarrassment to our great club and race should never be used as stick to beat an underperforming, and tarnishes our 3 degrees legacy.

My message to this cretin if he reads this:

"Fuck off you racist cunt, you're not welcome at the Albion you embarrassing scumbag and I hope you are outed and prosecuted".

Good post. Agree fully.
