I hope he doesn't think our fans are like this... We have supported and loved many a black player. EDIT: Having read the interview think he is talking about the black England players - presume he means Sterling who the Daily Mail seem to have an issue with. But again I cannot believe nowadays England fans would hate due to colour - people spend a lot of money going to watch them so would be stupid if they didn't support half the team due to that factor. Maybe the old team rivalries plays a part to an extent.
One of my all time favorites at Watford was Roy Brown, who was a real rarity in his day being black. Probably the first player who showed me what hanging in the air was all about.
With Luther and John B. we had some of the first top black players,,,,, and we loved them..... and they got abuse at almost every game from opposing fans
Andre Gray's view on racism in the media are dividing views of watford supporters on FB. He is not liked by many.
Yes - some might not just like him as a player. Had Deeney said it they would probably be backing him 100%.
Agreed...... this vitriolic behaviour over some players is beyond me....and of course he TD and others will have been singled out for the colour of their skin..... no fun...
Just discovered I have been booted off the over 25s FB group... no reason... no comment.... because I 'supported' Andre Gray... against a torrent of abuse.... from posters including one of the admins....... .crazy
There's an over 25s FB group? One of the main problems of many Facebook groups is the issue of freedom of speech - too many see it as justification for outpourings of their vitriol. And then they illogically stop others from responding, with no apparent awareness of the stupidity of what they're doing.
Yes - saw all that. Most of them seemed to be complaining that he wasn't a good footballer so should get on with it etc. Rather then discussing what he actually said and debating it. The site picture is an England flag with a Watford crest and then the England badge/poppy so probably shows what sort of group they are ? Very passionate about the country and maybe anti a number of other things ?
I checked out the the admin who started digging at me.. and he is very white british on his. FB page. Ironic that on here we let everyone stay on and on there if you even disagree you can be given the boot... I wont miss it really as it a lot of matey matey stuff... no real discussion ..
