Club Statement on Discriminatory Abuse

AFKABartramAFKABartram
in General Charlton

A complaint of discriminatory abuse by an individual in the Covered End was made to the referee, Sam Purkiss, by a Shrewsbury Town player during today’s game at The Valley.

The game was delayed for a period of time after the referee informed the club’s safety officer that he wouldn’t re-commence the game until the two individuals had been removed from the stadium.

An individual has been arrested by police and is in custody. The club are supporting the police with their investigations. 

The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination. We have a long history of promoting equality and tackling discrimination. Discrimination has no place at this club or in football.

    So does anyone (without going into explicit detail) have any insight into what non-racist discrimination consists of to be worthy of arrest?

    How do we know it wasn’t racist discrimination?

    I just made the assumption (potentially wrongly) that if it was for racist abuse, it would have been flagged in the statement as racist abuse.

    Based on nationality, rather than race?

    Any hate crime including verbal abuse. Public order offending. Incitement

    Would imagine if the goal keeper heard the comments then loads of people around would have heard it very clearly. 

    Will wait to see if ME tweets about it tonight.

    After we scored the second goal more of the usual suspects ended behind the goal to have a pop at the keeper. At the end of the game a Charlton Athletic member of staff took a few photo of these individuals. Was that for the clubs Twitter feed or to pass onto to the old bill?

    The photos were with their own phones I think.

    No it was club member of staff on the pitch at the final whistle.

    The individual concerned is on Twitter saying he hasn't been charged as yet and that he has said nothing racist.  I know nothing and do not know either party buy I remember we as a supporter base got called racist for singing "Who let the frogs out", to the Chelsea side years ago.  Probably not PC and not acceptable but not worth the column inches that followed.

    Ok ok saw a senior steward taking photos of some behind the goal after the final whistle. He was dancing and mucking about either side of taking their photos, I thought this is what you were referring to.  He did hype them up before taking the photos.

    Why would he be ejected for making an accusation?

    I think he means he was accused of being racist as he sat next to his mixed race son.

    These tweets have cause some confusion, unfortunately. Although he was ejected (wrongly identified originally) a separate person was identified, also ejected and has been arrested. 
    Bit shit for him and his son to be kicked out if they were doing nothing wrong.

    Marko Marosi is a Slovak; why do I believe that some/one of the moronic fans who follow Cafc believe that is in Russia ?
    Some of the shit that comes from the mouths of our critics/fans is amazing and that's aimed at Charlton players let alone the away team.

    I don't believe anyone who goes to work should be abused; including Footballers. Boo if you must but for a keeper to inform a ref of being sworn at by a fan who I would imagined kept doing it and mentioned his country as well ( or what the moron thought was his Country) then pleased that it was dealt with. "Only a bit of banter" said potty mouth fan when up before the break.
     
    Can anyone who was in earshot confirm what was said ?
    Put the words in speech marks !

    We won't shoot the messenger.
    I know a female supporter who sits here by and says it’s a father and son who basically are vile individuals and basically been getting away with comments all season .. …

    Not surprising. I’ve become quite disillusioned with our away support (I don’t get to many home games) and a lot of the morons that are part of it these days. People have forgotten how to behave in public. Ban him for life.
