Re: Ramps: Australian team racially abused me

by HH_pink Wed 16 Jan 2008, 00:11

What?

by Lara Lara Laughs Wed 16 Jan 2008, 00:14

It's called denial.

by embee Wed 16 Jan 2008, 00:17

1.Ramps should have brought it up at the time ....Racism is not on

2."Of course I've played cricket for a long time now and you expect it (racism) now and again from a few supporters who are tanked up after drinking all day.

"The only time I've suffered any abuse of a serious racial kind in international cricket is against the Australians so I'm not sure what that says about them."

Did the crowd or the players racially abuse him?

If it was a player(s) ...he needs to name them ...and what they said ...he has tarnished all Oz players he played against

3. "I've played with Harbhajan for two seasons at Surrey and having got to know him well it's not the kind of thing I imagine he would say. "

People who know Boof personally would say he isn't a racist ...Didn't stop him making a racist comment

No names, no details, no time, no places.

And Harbs wouldn't have called Symonds a monkey 'cos I like the guy'.

Thanks for your contribution Ramps.

I reckon it was Ponting, in the drawing room with the candlestick.

What do you want him to say? He obviously doesn't want to bring up old issues but he does want to point out that there is history.

But Zimmy's right - by not naming details he is inviting people to think the worst and therefore is unfairly tarnishing the whole team. Given the sook from Kumble abouut Hogg, perhaps someone called him a bastard.

If Kumble 'sooked' so did Symmo and Ponting.

by JGK Wed 16 Jan 2008, 01:01

Not so - Symonds thought he was called something he had previously objected to to the person who said it.

Kumble was being a sooky nob.

by furriner Wed 16 Jan 2008, 01:03

So if you object once, it isn't sooking. Or is it because he's Australian?

If Kumble was really upset by the comment he would have made a complaint about it at the time it was made ...not a couple of days later and AFTER Harby was banned for his racist comment (which was reported immediately he said it).

Harby's comment was Racial and he'd already been told what he said was off limits ...

by HH_pink Wed 16 Jan 2008, 01:11

Given thought to the possibility that the (then) whole Aussie team might've collectively hurled abuses at him?

by JGK Wed 16 Jan 2008, 01:13

Not sure why they would waste their time against someone averaging 30 in tests.

So, because Kumble initially thought there was no point in making mountains out of molehills, he's a sook. Gotcha.

I have , Pinky

and I'm thinking he DEFINITELY should have reported it if it was that bad ...

and if he was too afraid (because he was an inexperienced player) then one of his senior team mates should have stepped in and reported it ...

Some people just seem to not want to report abuse, in the interest of continuing good relationships, the sport in general (come on, it's cricket!), and their own peace of mind.

Yes ...

I would have no problem with the complaint being made if he had been initially offended by it ... but the delayed reaction was sooky

by tac Wed 16 Jan 2008, 01:20

FFS, Rob the knob only posted this as a wind-up, best to leave Ramps to his "here's a chance to get my name back in the papers" sook . . . hardly worthy of debate, is it?

If the ABUSE is that bad there is no "continuing good relationship" and if Ramps can bring it up at least 6 years after it happened does he really have "peace of mind"

How do you know to stop if no one complains about it?
