Personally I think joking about cancer is pretty poor form. Not saying that is what happened though.
I agree, same as if racist comments had been made towards Amankwaah then we would have been up in arms about it, as indeed some Swindon fans have been today. Still, at least it makes the Millwall away trip a little more lively |

That's fair enough as that was literally below the belt. Still, as terrible an ordeal for Harris his illness was (and I have great sympathy for him) it does not automatically make him a saint or stop him from having a gobby cockney twat moment, which he had not one minute before this incident which in turn leads to things being said in the heat of the moment (no excuse for that though Manky) ! As the ref started the feistiness in the first place with his inept display it would have been best for all if he'd sent himself off !...IMO

I think - after the weekend he should have kept his head down and mouth shut.
No doubt he will accussed of playing the race card as an excuse.

I see your point, and agree with you to some extent, but from Kev's point of view, he's saying he's been racially provoked and physically attacked, and is coming out as the bad guy for a poor choice of how to react to it. If people were threatening to run onto a football pitch to "get me" because I reacted badly to racist remarks, I think I'd feel a bit upset too. |

The thing is none of us know what happened. If he was targeted for being black, then surely something SHOULD be done about it? |

..but...he also came out on sunday and said nothing harmfull was said and it was just banter.
Surely, he wouldnt have said that if he had been racially abused.

Oh dear this getting to be a mess now.
I've no idea if Amankwaah has been racially abused or not - a disgrace if he has, but claim and counter-claim is only going to result in 'a plague on both your houses'.

The way I read the whole situation is that he originally came out and said it was banter, thinking it would just boil over. Then Harris and/or the mystery Millwall fan started commenting to the press so Big Kev decided to issue an apology thinking it would calm the situation.
However it seems Harris or someone hasn't accepted his apology and won't let it lie so because of this Manky has decided to take it further and go into more detail about what happened.
I'd suggest if the club are releasing so many statements about the matter then they've got more evidence than just Kevin's word?
