Bailey-Radford...set aside your prejudices? : Sat Sep 04, 2010 10:37 pm  

Bailey clearly isn't popular around here (except with Leeds fans) and as a result there seems to be a lot of attempting to justify Radford's stupidity.

But does anyone else get the feeling that if the roles were reversed everyone on here would be saying how it was a well deserved red-card for a cheap-shot/sh*t-house/cowardly attack on the man on the floor...

...in fact if we're being brutally honest, perhaps if Radford was black and Bailey white a lot of those sticking up for Radford might have very different opinions...

The race card? seriously? Oh dear ...

You've hit the nail on the head Omar.

It's rife when it comes to poor Ryan.

To be fair he makes an interesting point that probably isn't entirely untrue...

Radford fouled up! This, however, is NOT a race issue!

Still think a 10 min sin bin for both would have been fair..

What a stupid thing to say about skin color, the only reason Bailey gets the stick because he's a cowardly thug, but as soon as i seen it i said red card for Radford, but then also Bailey should of been yellow carded for repeatly elbowing.

I would expect Radford to get a decent ban for what he did, i would expect between 3 - 5 games and bailey to get between 1- 3

Oh I'm sure that there are probably some people who it may be true for, that's an unfortunate fact of life, but the implication that it's *mostly* to do with race I find to be somewhat distasteful...

And for the record, had the roles been reversed, I would still be of the opinion that the pair of them ought to have had a minimum of 10 minutes in the bin.

I'm clearly not talking about the incident, I'm talking about the reaction on here.
