Rudiger will not retract his statement or apologise and it is folly to request it.
If he genuinely feels he heard/ saw something then he will stick to his statement and will not apologise because he will believe he has been wronged.
If he was up to shenanigans during the game, he will double down, stick to his guns and hope the thing blows over in time.
However, if it was funny business, he'll be silly to try that trick again.
Regardless, we all have to be seen to be supportive, because we cant have a future where players do not feel they have the support to come forward when some plonkers do something stupid.
Its mindful of how the world is with social justice and all that stuff and it is genuinely the right thing to do.
Stiff upper lip, take it on the chin, rise above it, applaud him when he returns.
It's the savvy thing to do regards the media and you can bet the next game will be under the spotlight.
Just think how this will play out in the media if at the next game we boo him on his entrance, make it hostile and then he makes the claim again.
If he genuinely believes he was a victim of racial abuse, I would hope he appreciates the welcome and it is nice to treat people nice.
If it was as many suspect a ruse, well we have played the only sensible card in our deck.

Fella’s as mad as a mongoose. Funny though.
Especially that fucking rag the Mail
I love reading his posts. He is as consistent as you can get..
kingdawson disagreed with my post that i wan't his secretary which must mean that i am his secretary.
I better brush up on my shorthand.
And learn how to make tea

Are you one of the fit & slutty ones?
.....Euphemism? :avbpray:
I'm afraid you are wrong there. The reason the media reacted the way they did was because Rudiger gave them some lovely video footage and photos of him mimicking a monkey impression. This was ratings gold for them. If he'd simply told his captain what he thought he'd heard, the media would not have had this 'click bait', and there would not have been half the amount of airtime given to Spurs and it's fans being slaughtered in the media unfairly from all angles.
Holy cow dude... Don't leave us all hanging like this, can you show us where you got this info? link to article? Rudiger brain scan? so we can all see it...
Sorry dude, you are on your own
lol

Well a few posters on here have implied that the club aren't being honest in their statement, suggesting the club is being 'politically correct'.
It's not in the public interest to escalate this one. Can you imagine the shit storm at Slumford if they say it's a false allegation? Rudiger will be playing against us in a few weeks, and it would all kick off, before during and after. If I got caught up in any violence I'd hold the fuzz 100% to blame for being so stupid.
Football thuggery is like Terrorism in Ulster. It's just beneath the surface, just waiting for idiots to scratch it.
If they found that he purposely made a false allegation then he should be punished, simple as that really.
Threats of violence is no excuse for anyone to get away with breaking the law.
Even more disappointing that the wrong protocol was used and no one picked up on it then.
Premier League not following FIFA advice for handling racism
When FIFA asked every competition to enforce a three-step procedure in response to racism at matches, the English Premier League did not follow the advice. That disregard of the protocols set out by FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura in a July
Taylor followed the FIFA guidelines which the PL haven't agreed to. Staff where then informed to make three separate stadium announcements which gave the impression that multiple incidents have been reported - which they hadn't.
The PL protocol advises the fourth official to instruct the stadium security team to investigate the alleged incident before making an announcement. You have to say that this would have helped with any on going investigation rather than just attributing guilt on the players word alone.
Absolutely zero coverage on this by the mainstream media and it further clouds an already complex issue. Another example that they're not interested in the facts - just a sellable narrative.
