Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Far as I am concerned Robbie and Claude should have simply come forward and admitted that they where wrong and apologise.

I am all for forgiveness and giving chances (which modern society doesn’t seem to be anymore but that is a separate issue) but there needs to be acceptance that Son doesn’t need to be insulted like that. Things get said in anger but it could have been a good teaching moment.

Bit sad really as Claude clearly looks unhealthy, has a history of depression apparently, he doesn’t look long for this world let’s say that.
 
Yeah - whilst it's wrong what Claude said and I don't condone racism, there is a little part of me that's a bit worried about Claude as a person. He's clearly very unstable and has had plenty of issues with mental health in the past. I remember when he went missing a few years back and there were fears of suicide. So I do hope, whilst he won't be on the show anymore, he does stay around these lot he probably does consider his friends and he has people who can help him through a loss of what is his career.

However.



Ha.
 
The idiot with the oversized headphones (or has he got an undersized head ? ) will be pleased. Claude was constantly on his case.... with good reason to be honest.

I have no interest in watching AFTV but know enough about the guy from comments on here.

An apology would have gone a long way. Chances of that were ruined by trying to wriggle out of it.

As far as health is concerned, he’s doubled in size since being on that train wreck, and my guess would be increased alcohol abuse enabled by extra cash. This may actually be a positive wake up call for him, but I doubt it.
 
Claude is actually a fairly decent bloke and one of the more sensible ones. If they had just held their hands up, did a quick apology video, this would have all been forgotten fairly quickly. The lame cover story made it worse insulting the public's intelligence. Feel a bit sorry for Claude.

However, I'd love that wannabe yardie ganster to get thrown off for his Kane comments. Vile human being.
 
Robbie needs to take a long hard look at himself. He supported Claude knowing full well what he said and meant. They even said that Frank Lampard mentioned a DVD so he must be racist.
Robbie has been very vocal and made several vids about racism and kick it out.. It seems he’s only interested when it’s aimed at black people, which in itself is racist.
He’s not interested when it was aimed at Son, he’s not interested in Troops comment about Kane being white, he’s even laughed in the past when DT called Kane a Mong (not racist I know).
His ears only prick up when blacks are abused.
He also, only issued an apology because sponsors pulled out and everyone pointed out how pathetic his video covering it up was.

People like Robbie and AFTv are dangerous and part of the overall problem.


This x100 it's one of the things that really annoyed me with the whole situation atm. I fully understand that racism to black people is a huge issue but without making it an argument and wrecking another thread

I've heard more casual and sometimes serious racism to Chinese and Indian/Pakistani people then I ever have black people. 3 kids at school I grew up with not even 10 years ago one black one of Chinese decent one Indian decent never heard anyone say anything to my black mate but must of heard the word "chink" and phrases like curry mucher and "Paki" a hundred times.

Racism against Asians is very very common, much more do then against black people IMO. But yet only one gets serious media coverage. Look at when Spurs where accused without evidence of racism against Rudiger it was national news for a week and brought out all the usual suspects claiming the games racist and so is society.

Son has been racially abused what 3-5 times? Confirmed and it's had about a minute of media coverage combined.

It's almost like the media have a hidden agenda isn't it
 
And did the bold Robbie not say last season possibly the one before when attending a NLD he got abuse and possibly racist by our fans.

It was the last NLD at the old stadium and yes he claimed he was racially abused.. But like the Rudiger claim, he was wrong. I was very close to the incident.. The terms “you fat cunt” and “who who who let the yids out” were clear as day and yet he claimed the crowd were shouting you black c*nt and making monkey noises.
He made a full video about it and even though it was explained to him what the fans were saying, he never retracted it

Both Robbie and Claude are ok to be fair and the best of a bad bunch, but both of their behaviours over the past 24/48 hours has been pathetic and they both deserve all they are getting.

Sorry to pick you up on this point, but 'mong' has always been a racist insult. The link below has a succinct summary of how it originated.

He made a tv programme recently about being black and a football supporter he had other coloured fans with him discussing their experiences all be it, it was when they were all younger 70s, 80s and things have moved on considerably but he should know fine well about racism and what affect it has. But then it’s his cash cow discussing such topics on social media when it’s directed at him.....different story when he’s the cause.
 
They're just a bunch of hypocritical cunts. They're keen to state that they support 'Black Lives Matter' under their videos but happy to laugh off a racial slur aimed an an Asian player. Just shows them up for being no better than the people they claim to stand against.

Wankers.
 
I'm so tired of this cultural pc war that is going on, even though I know it's important.
It's not that long ago we had a very bad song about Adebayor, not to mention all the openly racist songs West Ham and Chelsea fans still sings towards us.
Standing against racism is fuck all to do with a 'cultural pc war'. There are many incidences where political correctness is completely over the top - this isn't one of them. Any racist remarks should be condemned and the person/people responsible should be punished, including our own fans.
 
Beware of the media monster you create.

In this day and age of the mobile phone and selfie stick or more accurately the mobile video recording system with selfie stick, the amount of resentment out weighs the clicks the individual or small group of internet hero’s get...2 friends of mine don’t even feel they can sing at the games anymore as some prick near them does himself a video throughout the entire game for the internet, one wrong move and these guys are lifting a giro because HR at their place of work is on steroids..”HR is actually going around asking people have they been offended in the past 12 months” I thought you went to HR, not HR come to you🤷‍♂️...they have tried to move their ST seats 3 times now without success, next step is stop going.
Let’s make it clear, It’s not that they want to do anything wrong, they just feel so uncomfortable that they are being recorded every single fucking game....

The game is dying before our very eyes and we don’t even see it yet....but we will, I predict football will become an American style sporting event within a generation, o and that generation started 10 years ago....

No need to get hostile over a comment I specifically mentioned as important. I was referring to a general trend in society, were wrongdoers/thinkers are generally fair game. It's a big threat against liberal society.
 
I must admit we used to take the piss a bit in boozers when DVD sellers came in, but that was 15-20+ year ago when i drank everyday. Nothing too bad said.
The blokes buying their porn from them would be very nice though.

Pissed as a fart, I bought a snide Black Dicks in White Chicks DVD from one such seller when I was in The Swan on Tottenham High Road after a game. I miss that place, especially the Caribbean barbecue they had out the back.
