Absolutely gutted and in disbelief at the situation I find myself in. I 100% deny the false allegation and will take the correct legal advice to prove my innocence.

Its just to easy to play the racist card.

In the mad world the FA has to be seen as taking racism seriously.
Soon you won't be able to purchase black paint.

Don't look at anyone from a minority group - or ANYONE, the way it's going - or you'll be in trouble.
For fox ache.
I hope that JRod sues the bloke, AND the FA, WHEN this is found not proven

Best to wait on the full facts, to be honest. If he genuinely said nothing racist then he's doing the right thing in getting legal advice on the matter.

Unfortunately this is now one area where you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence. Utter madness.

No smoke without fire!!
I hope for the sake of our club (especially with what the big man and others went through) that these accusations are proved to be wrong.

Jumping to conclusions. A charge, and being found guilty of a charge are two entirely different things. Think you'll find many people have been charged for various offences and then have been proven to be innocent.

So true mate, it seems to boil down to Bongs word against JRod's, how can it be proved one way or the other. The slur on Rod's character is the mud that sticks with something like this.
It's as hard to prove your innocence as it would be to sue for defamation, I'm assuming nothing was picked up from the cameras and nobody else heard any of what was said.
I trust in time the alleged comment will be made public, the race card seems to be kept handily up the sleeve and played when it's felt like
