Do you have to be a racist to be a footballer these days??

I note that says it's thought to be Croft. Never seemed a twat like many but you never know. Like to hear more about this rather than just the 'alleged' or 'thought to be'.

Is there no more on this?

It was definitely him.

The poor kid looks devastated. Croft needs a good kicking IMO.

Still can't see if he's racially abused him. Looks very petty on both sides and I can understand why Croft would be angry. However, there's no need for that, a look usually does the trick. I'd like to know what was said exactly. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Croft is a strange one though. I'm sure I read that he'd split up with his Page 3 stunner of a fiancee not too long ago; unless that was a moral issue.

If you are a ball-boy, you are supposed to give the ball to the players, not kick the ball away from them.

if croft is guilty of racial abuse then throw the book at him..

as for the ball boy... kicking the ball away, swaggering around the pitch like a fucking hard man... that lad sums up a generation.

Agreed. But I don't think it excuses Croft's alleged actions.

True, but that doesn't justify alleged racial abuse, sure, give him a look or even a bit of stick for being a knob, but racism? Too far.

I hope thats the end of his ball boy career.What arrogance to kick the ball away like that for no apparent reason.Croft should have nutted him ;)

It's difficult to know if anything was said but Oldham(who he is on loan to) and Dickov are backing Croft on it.
I just want to know why the ball boy was kicking the ball away from him.

Heard lee croft on 5 live say he'd said nothing offensive, just "give the ball here, what you doin?"

Take it for what you will, but I must say it loses a pinch of credibility for me if he says in the heat of the moment under pressure he kept it that cool.

For what it's worth apparently dickov has backed him on it.

Fuck me..its you who needs a kicking !,,,,no proof whatsoever and you want croft hung drawn and quartered !!
The little prick kicked the ball away and deserves to be booted out from his ball boy duties...as the PROOF shows him clearly kicking the ball away.

Anyone that is allegedly accused of racism would be jailed in your fuckign world.

Key word here is alleged.

All I have got to go off in that video is what was done. And that is crystal clear.

LULZ at some people A) siding with Croft B) questioning whether he racially abused him.... I mean did you see how the kid reacted?

Croft is a fucking racist cunt. End of.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

And how do you know that? The answer is you don't. You can't hear what croft said not can you read his lips. All you are going off is the reaction of the ball boy - hardly enough evidence to accuse him with is it?
