Supporters Rudiger claims he heard monkey chants

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Good grief what a load of bollocks.. What situation is clear? the fact that one person and one person only thought he heard racist comments? he also said he saw monkey gestures, if it was clear then we'd all be lambasting the individual and discussing the images it doesn't matter what club he was from.
There is nothing clear, there is no evidence, there are no others that saw or heard a thing.

This is the second time you’ve made false assumptions from apparently misreading my comment. It’s ironic because I misread your comment earlier in the thread and you rightfully pointed it out to me. I’d ask for the same consideration.

I have been crystal clear that my problem is with people having a go at Rutiger. I fully agree with people who are upset about the media rush to judgement.

Snowkarl suggested that the Spurs supporters on this thread having a go at Rutiger are racists themselves and I’m saying that’s not true. They’re not racists, as they’d be very upset about the potential racism if it was a Spurs player making the accusation. I’m instead saying the people attacking Rutiger are wrong because they are “Spurs nationalists” not racists.

Clear?

If that is the case then I of course will apologise, I have read it again and struggle to come to that conclusion but I am happy to give you the benefit of the doubt.

So the club have studied EVERY Spurs fan with the help of a lip reader and found nothing.....

The social media jury are back on ice until the next 'who can show the most outrage' event.

I think their statement implies they are in the process of reviewing every fan but haven't found anything yet. Got to imagine it's a fairly time intensive process to review every single person.

I don't think Rudiger lied... but c'mon, if you're gonna make allegations like this you should be damned sure that it happened. If it did, then it would clearly be on video and the allegations proven, especially the 'monkey pose' thing.

Rudiger is having quite the laugh isn't he? He gets our starting player banned for 3 games and then puts the entire Spurs base in disarray. And people ask why would it be in any of his best interest to use the race card? Maybe for the 100k likes on his Twitter account.

Ok I'm going to point out what seems obvious. You don't know what they have or have not found yet. Neither does Jan Vertonghen who has apologised, because that club statement dose not say nothing has been found. There is a process to be followed. Your acting oddly like the folk you accuse of social media outrage, in rushing to conclusions. I say this whilst openly admitting I sincerely hope nothing is found.

Guess what though? A chelsea fan has been arrested for racially abusing Son but I guess that's ok as they have a history of it?

Any pics of the person/s making the monkey gesture yet?? No? you do surprise me.

And “if” nothing is found then what?
 
Has it been made clear yet what Rudiger actually claims to have heard?

Surely that would help when conducting any lip-reading tests.....?

Silly? If you're getting constant abuse you might want to get back at those fans/club?

No you don't. Try and think of it less tribally lots of fans cant but I assure you players do. It's the disconnect between the fan and playing sport for a living. No Rudiger does not wish Tottenham Hotspur potential future employer ill. Remember how the much reviled Gallas a Adebayor signed for Spurs, yes they want to win but few are as absolutist as supporters hope.
