Verbally abusing players , giving them the bird , taunts are wether we like it or not part of the game

Racially abusing someone is understandably at the top of that list but it appears he may well have been subject to less than friendly banter rather than criminal abuse

If that's the case I would imagine this will blow over but it's not good for the reputation of Merthyr as mud sticks

I think that Hungerford manager jumped in with both feet there
