If Merthyr town and its fans want to take that further it would be perfectly understandable
But this angle that complaints of racism have gone too far these days blah blah blah are a red herring as if a black player is verbally abused racism is often behind it and it needs to be investigated
Just in the last few months Wednesday fans have been looked into regarding monkey gestures at an opposition player
It's not political correctness gone mad etc , it happens
Some of the racist crap broadcast by a Cardiff City fan on social media .....now banned .......against a Swansea player last season was embarrassing
