I haven't read it yet, but apparently there is quite the humorous version of the events on Coveside website. Coveside FC | Home Page in the forums section.
I will post more on this soon!
Soccer Fan said:I agree with blonde. The post is unnecessarily offensive and insulting. If a team displays extremely unsporting behaviour, there is no excuse to resort to derogatory or racist speech.
It is truly regrettable that members of the Cove side team had engaged in this type of actions and that people associated with the league celebrate it or tacitly allow it.
FIFA is making a strong point that this should be tolerated, but it seems that this league is not aware of it. A quote from the FIFA site:
"The solution to this problem, as to any other, lies firstly in identifying it and acknowledging its existence," says FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter. "Anyone who complacently maintains that racism is impossible in their territory is not only wrong but irresponsible."
This league is irresponsible if it does not do anything about these posts. Offensive or denigrating speech should not be tolerated insider or outside the field.
The Cove side team owes an apology. I regret that they encountered individuals that acted in a deplorable manner, but their response is appalling and unacceptable.
Cside17 said:Nope, we did that last year for WVFC, and it ended up extending the season to far! Neither Coveside or Norvan, will be given an exception either! It was made quite clear to all Managers, that there would be no postponements for the BC's
WVFC is more than welcome to try and find another Summer league that would be more accommodating for them!
Do we really want to go down this road?

Cside17 said:Sorry for the late response, just got out off the lock-up, and all 9 off us had to go for a few pints. It was a long night/day! Do you have any room in your garage Sir M, as I may need accommodation's for a night or 2(hopefully)! Only if you have Fox sports though, as I have to watch the game in the morning!
The kick in the head, was to the little head, with our guy still peeing blood, and missing a testicle! Apparently it's somewhere in his lower abdomen, and will eventually reappear.
