The video is basically a guy in a Bees branded face covering being asked “QPR? Fulham? some bloke’s name?” and replying “C***s” to the first two then taking off his mask and shouting “F***ing N*****” to the last. Dumb and well out of order.
Got you.
Yep. In a way we (the fans) are an extension of the Clubs ambassadors and as such we need to maintain highest possible of standards to set an example to other clubs and the wider community. If we serouis about being the most inclusive club in the country. Its important we all try do our bit.
I can’t find it anywhere on twitter
The Twitter page it was originally posted on looks like it’s been deleted...
Good point. I remember when most of us used the word dumb, when we probably meant stupid. I was occasionally called “dim”, by slightly less stupid people, myself.
On your first part - agreed, we've seen the victim playing before
Agree about the Twitter account. However the video was doing the rounds via WhatsApp etc. way before it appeared on Twitter. It got to me even, so many hundreds would have had it before then. Still not sure how that makes it a "set-up" however. How was he "set-up" to say what he did? As I said above it wasn't some sort of elaborate, staged plan. He was simply videoed answering some straightforward questions.
Surprised it hasn’t been taken down as it should be,not into the technical side of social media but thought it was strange of the person being filmed to invite people watch this.Doesnt make him less guilty but what sort of a person sets this stuff up to get their mate in trouble?I suppose an ex mate.
Yes, very odd. It's apparent from watching the video that the two of them know each other. Quite why the video should then be shared I have no idea. Perhaps the filmmaker was as shocked as the rest of us?
Either to call out/wind up the QPR chap mentioned or the pair of them really are that f***ing stupid that they thought it wouldnt get much further than a couple of friends.
Ah yes. Probably a more accurate analysis than mine.
I get the impression there was an intended target audience, that being the QPR chap and his associates. I got a copy of it via WhatsApp from an associate of some of the intended target audience. As Banana says, set up or not on Twitter, it was doing the rounds all morning on WhatsApp and once it's out there it's going to come to light somewhere.
As I mentioned earlier he probably only regrets it as he has been caught out saying it. Have zero sympathy whatsoever and as someone above said this person has had more than one chance to get his act together.
Didn't they issue a statement? That of course shouldn't be enough, more actions are required IMO.
Yes.. sorry.. i meant he's been set up via a fake account.. not by a staged video
That’s how I see it .. the account has been set up by someone to out him, that’s why so many have been tagged.
So he hasn't been 'set up' in any way. It's just the case that someone has 'blown the whistle'...
Yes by the baptist church
BIAS are being kept up to date with this matter. When there is more to say, it will be said.
Yes, the fan in question was toast even before it got on Twitter so arguments about a set up don't really fly. I don't think he'll ever see a Brentford match ever again.
I believe the video was tweeted to a number of the players
FFSI believe the video was tweeted to a number of the players
I've had a search and can't find any evidence of this.
No surprise there as that was always the target destination
BFC, Ra Ra fc, Met police & kick it out were tagged
Give over, he's wearing a Brentford mask, referring to our two main rivals and then refers to one of QPR's top boys as a N.
Probably expected him to get a job at the club. Oh wait....
“He” does seem to have tenuous links to the club other than being just a fan... I was a bit surprised the club put out a statement straightaway, if it was just a random guy with a brentford mask - would it have been that fast?
He is a well known Brentford fan wearing a BFC branded facemask calling people N*****s and it is all over social media.
lovely lady put in a horrible position
It can issue bans for whatever reason it likes.
I think this is the right line. If they aren’t manifesting views incompatible with the club’s ethos while identified as a fan or at a match then that’s a private matter for them. Given the online pelters from some about BLM and the players taking the knee I think once we return to watching in the ground it’ll be pretty obvious who will need to go if they can’t keep it to themselves.
Blimey!
which is why i caveated my can’t by saying they won’t but I suspect you knew that and are just being contrary.
