I hear that the football authorities are looking into several recent incidents including the Jones taunts (It made BBC Radio 5 London News again today yet press and media won't report the matter further).
Why don't they look at what Jones, Wilkinson and his coaches really did then?
I'm really P****d off with this media slant always against Stoke.

I have to say though im sure i saw an object thrown at him when he was down in the corner flag infront of the boothen..... Yeah, it was a piece of lucky heather thrown by a short chubby woman wearing lots of black sat just behind me. And no it wasn't Dulford Dave

I'm sure the Swedish Ostlund spent the whole evening feeling that he was carrying personally the weight of Nazi persecution on his shoulders! There again he mght just have thought he was been wound up about his hair style! I've witnessed first hand genuine persecution and abuse of gypsies in Eastern Europe and to try and tie this in with the wind up of an opposition player at a football match is at best clumsy and at worst a shoddy distraction away from real racist issues in football and society in general. It is on a par with claiming the stick Jason Lee, the ex-Nottingham Forest player, received for his hairstyling a few years ago was persecution of pineapples. The only ignorance I can detect here is where people cannot differentiate between an act designed to blame the problems of the world on a weak minority and the predominately good natured wind up of an opposing player designed to do northing more than put him off his game. Agree. Seems ironic to me that the "gyppo" taunt is used towards players with long or shaggy hair, and the only player known to be of Romany stock, Freddie Eastwood, has short hair.
