Nothing to do with the colour of the panel members. The whole case was a joke, there was no evidence and finally common sense has prevailed. Not before time either.
Pleased for him about that. He did not have the best of games, but the way this 'allegation' suddenly took off, seemingly not fuelled by the players involved is very worrying for the good of the game - at least, for what good there is left about it. It also shows how easily any comments from players, or officials can be so easily mis-heard in the context of a noisy stadium. Strange that anyone thought it worth pursuing, other than anyone who might think they could make a name out of it - not that anyone would, of course. BTW, Mark, that second was never a penalty for Blunts, as Steele made contact with the ball!!!
Our mixed group at Charlton were called "foooking Northern Monkeys" after our win there(we're all white BTW) I'll not be able to sue now!!
