Ah, banter. He acknowledged that, but why was the club's own investigation fudged and delayed. It goes a bit beyond some dressing room banter.
 
It is a desperately sad day for justice in this country when someone is allowed to stand up in Parliament getting legal protection for all the unproven allegations he can make and the alleged perpetrators are immediately assumed guilty by all and sundry.
As I stated on earlier threads he has a dreadful reputation in the Yorkshire Leagues and most clubs have had problems with him. His in the main. unquestioned testimony was indeed very moving but the only time when he wasn't fluid and cohesive was when someone had the audacity to ask him an awkward question. Why if it was so bad previously had he come back?

As I also previously said, he seems to have been a bit of a dick, but taking that aside, do you think they just singled him out? Do you honestly think there has been no racism at YCCC?
 
The vast majority of the population of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds have held views that in the current climate would be viewed as racist and even more so in the past.
As I stated on an earlier thread the Yorkshire hierarchy is class orientated with a large dose of nepotism thrown in which is to the detriment of the sport. Casual racism will almost certainly have wrongly been part of the dressing room and club structure intentionally or unintentionally. Was Rafiq nearly driven to suicide by it? Not in a million years.
